Probably limit to the us for feasibility: i want to find out about regional products but also have a chance of getting interesting ones.

For example I recently found about two flavors of soda available in parts of the us but not where I am (Peach Crush, Cactus Cooler). I was able to order online to try them!

What else is regional to you that someone may like? Any communities? Links? Online resources to help?

    One of my local favorites here in the Northeast is a soda manufacturer called Squamscot… they make soft drinks and have an outstanding Birch Beer flavored one, which I love making floats with.

    Herr’s potato chips from PA are pretty banging. Could really go for a bag of their barbecue right about now.

      Nice. I do remember liking those but totally forgot until you mentioned since I haven’t been down there in years

    There’s a small Amish grocery store in Yoder Kansas, it’s been sometime but I think they do phone and online orders. Know somebody who once spent 250 just on shipping for brisket from there.

    But if you look their German chocolate cake and cinnamon rolls would make even a diabetic die happily.

    I think almost every state website features some products made in the state from food to crafts

      Great idea - I’ll look for them.

      I’ll have to track down the link but I had a great one for Chicago - but it’s a damn expensive pizza to have delivered from there

      Always an excellent choice, except that I live in the northeast. I grew up where one of the things my grandfather’s farm produced was maple syrup! I’ve always been a huge fan

      But of course that’s the hard part: I didn’t even think of it. I’m not entirely aware of it being specific to this region: it’s just a part of Normal life. If someone turned my question back on me, I don’t know if I could answer
