Let me see what I can do about the okra. I've never seen that brand but maybe I can get it on Amazon and bring it back?

I think Walmart would do delivery... it's something I could just buy with my groceries.  Yes!  This!  https://www.walmart.com/ip/Talk-O-Texas-Crisp-Hot-Okra-Pickles-16-fl-oz/35523837

I could order it delivered to your US address if you can bring it back for me...  Or you can take care of obtaining it, and I'll just Paypal you for the costs of getting it and posting it to me when you get back to the UK.  (I would also accept the mild variety... either one is fine.)

Edit: looks like it is available locally. I'll see what I can do.

Eeeee!  Don't let it get in the way of you enjoying your trip, but if can get some, I would be so grateful!  Potential yay!

It looks like it is available at my local Harris Teeter and Wal-Mart.

Set a reminder to remind me the first week of March. I plan on heading that way on the 4th.

I have set a reminder!  Thanks, Tami!

If you can't get it at Harris Teeter, there's always the Piggly Wiggley !

Enjoy your trip home.  Are you going to Charlotte?

No Pig in my area. I'm just outside of Raleigh, in the small town of Youngsville.

Just next to Wake Forest where my Grandma lived.  I used to love that Tastee Freeze.

Yes. My daughter works in downtown Wake Forest. That's where we spend most of our time. But I don't know where the Tastee Freeze used to be. I'm a transplant.

There's an ice cream place there still, it's not a chain.
I learned to ride my bike in the seminary across the tracks from downtown.  My grandmothers house is on main Street, next to the funny office building called "The Corner"

There was an ice cream place called Scoops on Main but they moved to Youngsville the middle of last year.  I think that's the one you are thinking of. There is a cakery there now.

The only other ice cream place is in Downtown by the Hardees.
