Would You Order Food From Across the Country?

November 14, 2007

Recently, philleif surprised the office with a box from Zabar's. He's recently moved from New York and had a hankering for their fresh lox and bagels. I was lucky enough to grab a taste (thanks again philleif!), but it got me wondering, would you order food from across the country?

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.)
