What food do you miss most from the States?

Its a sort of "old fashioned" chewing gum. Teaberry is flavored with wintergreen, which grows in the mountains of North Carolina and Pennsylvania. Maybe this will help ...http://www.victoryseeds.com/candystore/clarks_teaberry.html

I buy loads of it when I go home to visit.

teaberry gum! YUM
 

we sold this in the sweets shop where I worked in Orlando last year!

okay...that's makes mewant to ask, who else likes CHowards VIOLETS!?

I know this isn't food, but in PA you can get teaberry gum. I looove that stuff and always buy loads of packs for when I go back to the UK. I ran out before Christmas, I guess I'll ask my mom to send some more!

There is a place online that sells Teaberry gum... 'Everything Cinnamon' is located in Southend, i think, .... i was on the site this morning buying cinnamon toothpaste, and noticed the Teaberry!

Actually one thing I do wish I had more access to is pierogies...they're so easy to get homemade ones in Northeastern PA - especially if your best friend's mom makes them!

I've got a fab recipe for these and make them all the time.  Tried and tested from my grans friend in PA.  Pretty easy to make as well if you want to have a go, let me know!!

LOL! I think cinnamon and wintergreen are flavours Americans seem to love! I never developed a taste for either!

Wintergreen I've always loved; now I notice loads of new flavours that I can't tell what the difference is, between Wintergreen, Blast of Fresh, Winter Ice, etc.
I got a box of Dentyne "Vanilla Ice" when I was home... haven't tried it yet... will either be gross or awesome.   

I don't mind cinnamon, but I really dislike wintergreen. And spearmint.

If there's a problem with it, I'm sure you'll solve it.

Wintergreen just makes me think of the smell of that nasty Skoal stuff all the redneck boys in my highschool used to chew (dip). Ugh. Spearmint, I love! It's like picking mint fresh from the garden and munching on it! Cinnamon? Always smells like halitosis to me, so I've never understood the appeal of using cinnamon in breath-freshening gum or mints. And why are they all called mints regardless of whether or not the flavour is mint?? Oy, I'm on a rant now.

I didn't want to admit that might have influenced my decision in buying it... and wondering if he gets any royalties

So funny; I'm the opposite.  Spearmint doesn't remind me of anthing awful, just don't care for it.
Wintergreen reminds me of slumber parties when we would turn all the lights out, get under a heavy blanket, and crunch on them mouth open, and see sparks!  Very exciting when you're 14.

i never associated teaberry with wintergreen... it always seemed a bit cinnamon-ish to me!

Belindaloo... i use cinnamon toothpaste, and chew cinnamon-flavoured chewing gum all day... but i can assure you that i dont have halitosis!
