Moving from my typical Northern lifestyle, many things changed once I headed South. From simple phrases to accents to walking pace (seriously, the southern lifestyle seems to be slow and steady wins the race), things have been quite different. One thing I will always miss is the taste of home. Here are my top 10 missed foods from living in the Tri-State area of the Northeast (PA, NJ and NY area).
1. Middleswarth potato chips.
Whether it's BBQ, sour cream and onion, or the classic potato chip, you can never go wrong with this Pennsylvania classic.
2. Bagel Shops.
What do you mean you buy your bagels at the grocery store?
3. Whoopie Pies.
Forever thankful for the Pennsylvania Dutch.
4. Philly Cheesesteaks.
Whether you're team Pat's or team Geno's, you can't go wrong.
5. Taylor Ham/Pork Roll
The breakfast sandwich meat that just doesn't seem to exist anywhere else.
6. Wawa
The northern version of Sheetz, but with better hoagies.
7. Tastykake.
Can't go wrong with peanut butter or butterscotch.
8. Pizza.
Your pizza is "New York style"? Tell me more.
9. Pierogies.
Delicious potato goodness.
10. Mom's home cooking.
Nothing beats Mom's home cooked meals.
Happy Thanksgiving, y'all!
