I saw this show on Food Network and it had Puerto Rican foods and stuff :( I was like sitting there watching and my jaw droped to the floor lol. It's been a long time since i've been to Puerto Rico and I'd do anything to go and have some bacalaitos, alcapurrias, and some sorullos :crying: Texas doesn't really have Stands that sell good fried puerto rican food or parrandas during christmas :crying: :crying:

Not to mention it's hard sleeping for me still without hearing the sounds of coquis at night :(

Do any of you guys have lost food favorites from someplace?

oh where to start!

pastries of all types that i can't find here, real baguettes, tarte flambee (http://www.cigogne.net/article56.html), bacon that's cubbed and not sliced..you wouldn't think that would be hard to find...i used to miss orangina (http://www.orangina.fr/) but i can find it here but really expensive but it's good for craving sakes.
I miss bretzel (http://www.saveurs.sympatico.ca/ency_11/pain/bretzel.htm) too.

I made myself hungry now for stuff i can't have :crying:

There's nothing I can think of in particular, but I reaaaally miss my mother's cooking.

When you're at school and are forced to eat cafeteria food every day of your life, anything will sound good. But I can't wait to go home just to have mom cook for me. ;)

amen lefty....amen....

there is only so much cafeteria and ramen that one person can handle...thank goodness for christmas and spring break...lol

You forgot to mention hagelslag, Rosey ;)

Too bad you can't purchase them on Ebay either... :hehe:

Ummm...I don't exactly miss anything since I homeschool and well, I don't get to eat in a cafeteria :hehe:

oh man i wish I could homeschool, it would be so cool.....

adrielle, me neither - im only a young'un and still go to school and so havent had time in my life to love a food i cant ave. Oh! Yeh i have, seafood paella from spain :D

we went to this little, teeny tiny paella resturant in the middle of nowhere in the mountains and it was scumdidleyumptous! :lolol:

:cloud:
:rolleyes:

:lolol:

Hehe, sometimes I think maybe school just might be cool:)

Yeah for the young'uns:P :lol:

Paella? What's that?

Well...let's just say a lost rest restaurant, not a food really. You see, there is this Japanese Steakhouse this is in my town and I love their food. The problem is, my mother absolutely will not eat there! So I've only eaten there 3 times! :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

Well, Greece isnt my home but i've been there loads of times and i really miss Greek Feta Cheese...the english versions just arent the same and the proper greek stuff is too expensive over here so i only have it when i'm over there...its so gorgeous!

Paella? What's that?

I love paella! It's so goooood, its my favorite food. I'm half Spanish, so I eat alot of Spanish foods. I miss having my grandma around. She used to make great Cuban food...mmm white rice, black beans, and breaded stake...lol, she went back to Cuba :crying:

i miss these poppyseed bun things i used to get in russia. and russian candies. and cranberries coated in powdered sugar. and going to the forest to pick mushrooms and wild strawberries. yum!!!!! :crying: it makes me want to live there. too bad my russian is a bit.. er... rusty :D

BACALAITOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS :crying:

I'm going to Germany this summer, so I'll probably be missing some of their foods when I'm back in the States...

My grandmother sends us a care package two or three times a year from England. And some of the stuff, you can't get here. Some of it, you can, but the place is miles away! And I've never seen Galaxy 'round here... :crying:
