Meh, depends on what I'm craving.

I could never live with out Dunkies vanilla chai.

things we buy in the grocery store are already shipped cross country so what's the difference really? If you're getting them direct from the source, it's probably fresher than the store! On that note, I try to buy locally from the farmer's market as much as possible!

we order a 1/2 lemon 1/2 caramel doberge cake from a bakery in New Orleans and have it overnighted every year for my birthday.

I really try to buy local as much as humanly possible. That said, my parents ship me wild rice, maple syrup, and honey that they've made/harvested, so there isn't much of a difference between that and ordering bagels from New York. Still, I try to keep that to a minimum.

I, too, think it is really important to support local farmers and producers for a number of reasons. That being said, I live pretty far from my family and food was a big part of our culture. Sometimes a care package of a unique item from "home"can be important.

The mail is pretty quick with orders that might spoil, and so far the packaging has been done well. I only order stuff for special ocassions, and only after i've been craving it for a while.
I ordered a cake from Dean & Deluca for my father-in-law's birthday.....totally worth it!

Well whenever somebody of my family is coming I ask for stuff from my country so that's more than just order from across the country !
Some of the stuff that I ask for is Oreos, White cheese, Chocolate, Instant tea; is easy have someone to bring them than order them

Not sure about ordering or not ordering, but I didn't have breakfast and that picture is basically food pornography for me right now...YUM.

I'd order across the Atlantic if were possible.

Zabar's is certainly worth ordering from! When we lived in Texas, I used to order shrimp from South Carolina because I didn't like the taste of gulf shrimp. So my answer is a resounding 'YES'! Order away!

Would and have. Right now, the only place for me to find my favorite Irish Steak sauce is a company based across the country. If the local markets stop carrying my Irish oatmeal, I'll be getting that too.

I order food online all of the time. It's usually for members of my family on special occasions and items that they can't get where they live (Vermont maple syrup, fresh lobster or blueberries from Maine). I did once order a turducken from a place in New Orleans a few years back. It was fun, but I've now satisfied my urge to try turducken and won't do that again.

Of course- I miss my east coast food! I order both Dunkin Donuts and Wawa coffee online and my mom regularly ships me salt bagels and Herr's Pretzels. I've also been known to FedEx cupcakes from this side to my best bud in NY.

Is it reliable to order online?

I will occasionally order local specialties, like jars of olive salad from New Orleans, that I can't get here. I don't think I'd order fresh food though.

I ordered bread from France for my boyfriend's 25th birthday!

I order the best pecan pie I have ever tasted from River Street Sweets in Savannah Georgia. Pricey, but worth it!

it was nova, not lox . sooo good.

as long as I know it's properly preserved...yeah....without hesitation!

I never had lox...i'm scared to try...

I really miss NJ food, so I've looked into getting some stuff shipped. Some of it (pork roll!) I've found after questing a bit, and some (Surf Taco!) can't really be mailed. Christmas is going to be filled with stuffing my face with diner food and Surf Taco and Wawa, mmmmm.

(Not that I hate the South. They have BBQ like we had diners! It almost makes up for the lack of disco fries.)

I would have something special shipped. It's pricey, but if you have that craving, or it's for an event it would be worth it.

Nope.

I'd need to want something pretty bad to order it from so far.

If you can get it, why not. Otherwise, if I plan a trip to that place, I would just buy tons of it and stuff it in my suitcase.

yes! and when friends have been out of the country i have sent them things they couldn't get (once it was peanut butter). we order from omaha steaks all the time.

Steak in the mail? MKy goodness

I order Nokkelost cheese from New york every holiday, its a norwegian cheese flavored with Cumin,caraway seeds and cloves. Semi-hard and yellow, made from cows milk. Expensive but its my childhood on a cracker.

Right now i can get it from www.nordicdeli.com for 12.95 a pound plus shipping.

I have also ordered food that i have seen on the deen boys show.

Devil Dogs! Stella D'oro! My husband and I are very lucky to have Boar's Head in Indianapolis, but I had my mom send me Annie's mac 'n cheese for years until I begged for it here (before I started making homemade mac'ncheese)My husband would definitely have Zabar's shipped here if he knew he could. We miss New York most weeks!

HMM for a muffuletta from Central Grocery in New Orleans. I sure as heck would.

Too $$$.

sure is
