What do you like to bring back with you to the Triangle after visiting where you grew up? (Turkey: for sale, neighborhood)

Kippers, flakes, chocolate limes JK on the Kippers, immigration would have a fit

- While there, I must always have an Abbott's custard at Lake Ontario Beach and then before I knew I couldn't eat wheat, I'd always have a cheeseburg on a hard roll and fries at the Char Broil on on Island Cottage Road in Greece (a drive along the lake). Why no one has discovered how good burgers taste on hard chewy rolls here, I don't know.
- I wish I could find Cream of Rice cereal. Used to have it all the time in Rochester, but I don't know if they still sell it up there. No one sells it down here.

I found Cream of Rice cereal at Harris Teeter: at least the one at Harrison Pointe shopping center in Cary has it...

Taylor Ham!!!
ALOT of bread from Anthony's Bakery in Denville NJ (Fill up the freezer!)
Carolina brand Rice, you can get it in Jersey but never seen it here

I would bring Thrifty Ice Cream if I could.

I usually have to fill up on what I want when I visit home in DE/MD. Crabs, crabs, crabs. And pit beef!!!

And I always always get a decent sub and cheesesteak.

Thanks for the poster who said the amoroso rolls are in Holly Springs (although not sure where that is from Oxford but would like to find!!)

this was so much fun to read...lol I can't think of too much as I have really sought out what I need here in the triangle...and I'm Italian, so I know great food...lol When I return to Long Island for a visit, I eat what I want there, Pizza, Italian, Chinese, visit NYC, eat out with friends, etc....get my fill and then come home to NC...I really don't bring back much anymore...

I'll be bad with some junk food and bring back Drakes Funny Bones or Devil Dogs, some Entenmann's cakes you can't find here, stuff like that...lol but I don't eat much junk food anymore, so....I'm really not missing much at all...

I have seen Turkey Hill Tea at Harris Teeter.
I try very hard to stay out of the ice cream aisle....

Yes, both...Harris Teeter carries Turkey Hill products, not sure about the other stores...Harris Teeter had Turkey Hill Ice Cream last week 2 for $6.00
