I really didn't know what to call this thread, but it's long been an idea of mine to have all the folks willing to run a swap with someone else to post a sampling of what is available in their area only. If someone else is interested, they have only to pm me with a request, and we'll work something out. Here is a starter sample of items available only in a very small radius around Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts: Please feel free to showcase your local ingredients here! This spice mix is for the sauce to put on a Coney Island style weiner..curiously enough, only available in Rhode Island. They are affectionately known as "gaggers", and must be consumed with a glass of ice cold coffee milk.
 This is a Del's lemonade...a frozen concoction made with FRESH lemons (chunks of lemon right in it) the closest thing to it if you've never had one would be a "slurpy" I guess. Del's sells a mix to make small amounts of this delicacy, and I have to tell you....it's awesome with a shot of vodka or tequila LOL.
 Bell's seasoning...absolutely indispensable for making the Thanksgiving stuffing. A true New England tradition.
 Coffee syrup is a mainstay in Rhode Island...kids here drink coffee milk growing up...not chocolate milk. Again..it is a must do with wieners.
 A nice pilsner, crisp and refreshing...light on the pallet. Great with steamed clams, or littlenecks on the halfshell.  Sakkonet Vineyards won their first award for "Eye of the Storm" a nice blush that was named because a hurricane did indeed affect the harvest that year.
 I will add new items as I come across them, so check back...and let's see what you have in your back yard!?
Here's one I forgot about...pepper shooters!  And of course, good old Rhode Island Red   ------------- Go ahead...play with your food! |

Hey nice looking stuff Dave! About that lemonade thing....is it a powder that you add crushed ice and lemons to, or a liquid. It sounds pretty tasty. Also that Narragansett looks pretty darn good and I'd love to do a sixpack exchange with you if you have any desire for MO beer. Check out the exchange posts in this forum for what's available locally here. ------------- |

Sounds good to me John, we also have another local beer called Newport Storm. I'm not so fond of it, but lots of folks are. The lemonade mix is a powder, and will ship no problem at all if you're interested.

Dave, I'd like to swap for some of that coffee syrup, lemon drink, and a six-pack. Anything from Georgia you would like to try? I'll see what I can think of that is unique to this area. Andy |
