My cousin lived in a little town named Cohocton. It had one stop light. As kids we wait by that stop light for the truck farmers to stop. run behind the truck and unload as much produce as we could. The memory of the taste of those sweet peas on the curbside still is as fresh as the sweetness of those peas. Can't find that either

The boss (wife) says beefsteak tomatoes can be found at Winn Dixie at $1.29 a pound...at least that's what they are calling them

I've been buying them the past couple of weeks. They are from Canada. Nice sized tomatoes but they just don't taste like the beefsteaks I had growing up. Could be my taste buds are not the same either!

No shot at you, I get your drift. When the Diamonds prevent the entry doors from the house from opening its time to bust a move southward. :mademyday: I Love It Here! :clap2:

Yes! Good egg foo young (or yung, depending on which google result one uses.:p)

The good stuff should be called egg foo yum.

vinsonowen 08-07-2017 12:25 PM

Oops, I actually meant 'yong'! I'll blame auto-correct ;)

But agree it should be YUM :)

I wasn't meaning to correct you! I was surprised how many different ways it's spelled on Google, including wikipedia who spelled it "young."

So yum it is!

I think the Polish Deli in Leesburg has them.

Driving down the shore on Friday night and smelling Great Bay as we got closer to our home. Our dog would go nuts in the backseat! She couldn't wait.

my wife loves BLT's

In my view egg & olive sandwich or a tuna sandwich always hit the spot

In my home town we had a bakery (Cato's) that made the best Italian and Sicilian breads. Their Sicilian bread ( they were Silicians) had a hard crust and the center of the bread was the texture of creamy cake. Loved it. Can't find Sicilian bread either

Pizza, good Chinese take out, decent hot dog like Ted's in Buffalo, beef on weck, corn where you start the water boiling before you go pick it, good fresh tomatoes of any kind, a real flea market vs the re-sellers markets they have at Markets of Marion, Rennigers and Webster, a real bakery, a really good philly cheese steak, a crisp apple picked fresh from the tree and the juice just bursts out when you bite into it, and some others.

It seems to me that most of the local grown fruits and vegetables in Florida lack flavor. It must be the limestone soil or something. Just take a fresh grown strawberry from here and California and taste the difference. And I use California only as an example because you can get them at the same time. But could also compare to anywhere North of the mason dixon line except the seasons don't match. And because the population of Florida has a high percentage of transplants, many things are brought here from other places but the transition doesn't seem to quite make it as good as the original.

Now the warm weather, sunshine and no snow do make it a great place to live and I can travel and get all those things I miss.

An original Western Pa. Millers Hoagie. I have yet to find a sub/hoagie that compares to the Original Miller.
