pints and pints of fresh blueberries all blue and firm.- black russian bagel with chive cream cheese
- real buttermilk pancakes, just half a stack will do.
- Whole Foods. Do you think I could open a franchise here?
- juice sweetended cranberry juice - none of that oversweet Ocean Spray junk
- Target. Need I say more?
- mud pie ice cream from Emack and Bolio's.
- Cabot's private stock vermont cheddar (and their habanero cheddar too)
- All you can eat salad bar salads

Man, I could've written that list myself! I've especially been craving blueberries lately. I'm tempted to start growing them myself. I don't understand why they are so rare here - the markets are full of strawberries, raspberries, etc, so why no blueberries? I used the frozen ones from Picard to make blueberry muffins last week and they turned out good...but my attempt at blueberry pancakes was less successful - the pancakes all stuck together when piled up.
Let me know if you end up opening up a Whole Foods - I just might join in to help you! :)
I miss a lot of those same things too. I miss Target and blueberry pancakes for sure!
when i make blueberry pancakes i pour out the pancake batter on to the pan and then sprinkle some blueberries on and using a spoon take some more batter and cover them individually, that way when you flip them there is no burning or sticking to the pan... i hope that might help you sam ;-) i'll leave this commetn on your blog as well... :-)
Ahhhhh...foooood!!! That's what I miss too!!!
I would like to add my little faves:
- I was a total bagel nut! Lender's Bagels anyone?!!
- Every once in a while I would go to IHOP on a Sunday morning just for some pankcakes. I miss that!
- Walmart - I shopped at Target a few times, but I was always a Walmart girl at heart!
- Sbarro's pizza - soooo good!
- Real Chinese food! I have not had any luck finding really good Chinese here.
- Publix Supermarket (similar to A&P up in NY/NJ) It was so nice to be able to food shop with a bit of elbow room and with shopping carts you can actually push!
- Morningstar farms and Amy's organic vegetarian foods - I miss Whole Foods Market too!
- Taco bell! It was good grub for the price. Man, now I'm craving Mexican!
- Dunkin Donuts!!!! - I miss going through the drive-thru on my way to work with nice cup of coffee. Will they ever have coffee-to-go in France?
And I totally agree with you about the non-smoking places. Why the hell can't they do that here? I don't think anyone really likes to inhale smoke while they're eating or shopping!
It's the food for me as well. I'm too old for what many call gourmet. I'm a south Louisiana country girl with country cookin taste and I just can't make anything here taste the same as back home.
To be fair I have to say I'm healthier here than I was in the states since I don't eat all the fat and junk foods that I did back home.
