Alexandria doesn't really have any foods characteristic of itself. But, what I miss most about living in Alabama is the Crawdads (crawfish, crayfish, mudbugs). A keg of beer and an enormous steaming kettle of crawdaddies was the way to go! :love:

Why do they taste better in CA than in Vegas?
Boiled Crawfish (sucking the heads), Crabs, Shrimp, and all the fixins (mushroom's, corn, little red potatoes, garlic, onions). Boiled in Crab Boil so you sweat while you eat. I would also miss all seasoned food. I can't leave the state without bringing some Tony Chachere's with me. Fried seafood battered with fish fry and not double battered with flour ??? Frog leg's and aligator. OYSTER's on the half shell. jambalaya, gumbo, etouffee.
I wish I had the Lobster supply like some of you guys. I boil them like a huge crawfish in some crab boil and they come out great. (I like them steamed also)
I would also miss the 24 hour liquer supply and the alcohol drive thru's down here in Louisiana.
I have to admit that Texas has some hot food but it's not the same kind of spicy that we have. The gulfcoast of Mississippi has some great seafood that is like ours.

Here in South Florida fresh seafood is readily available and there are a lot of choices for great seafood prepared Cuban, Peruvian, Greek, Chinese, Cajun, Japanese, French, and from the US of A. I love it all.
I have to add that my wife is a truly awesome gourmet cook and she has spoiled me without mercy. Her cooking tops the list.

Holy crap! I thought I was the only one! I just ran out of my Tony's (in my house we call it Tony Cha-Cha's, for some reason ??? ) just about a month ago and I can't seem to find it anywhere around here :angry: .Triple_D said:
Maybe some nice person from down south will send me a can :lookup:
Summer of '93, I was in Pascagula visiting some family, and my sister brought a bag from 7-11 filled with cajun crawfish. I thought eating those things and "sucking the head" was just disgusting-until I had the first one. I think I ate a bag full of 'em by myself the next day. YUMMY!!!Triple_D said:

MI Cherries and trips to the Apple Orchards.
Fresh Apple Cider, hot, with butter fried doughnuts. Been away so long I'd almost forgotten. I haven't been to a Cider Mill since 1995!

I'd miss The Pacific Northwest's fine beer and seafood
Since moving out here three years ago, I still miss the hell out of Buffallo Wings. "Real" Buffallo wings.

You can get all of these in most fairly large cities in the US -- we have some great Thai food here in Rochester, and some decent Japanese food.Treamayne said:
