[craftymama71]

1. Definitely the burgers....I've gone vegetarian now, but man I love their burgers.

2. Did I mention the burgers?

3. Applebees Mozzerella sticks (I think it's a good thing we can't have these too often)

4. American Lemonade (DH misses this the most)

5. General grocery items that we can't get here, funfetti cake mix, jello etc.

I know this isn't a food item, but I miss Cracker Barrel restaurant too. wahhh must go backkk nowww...lolll

I want to add white choc m&ms even though they were only exclusive to target for easter I crave them

Ihop reminded me a lot of pancakes on the rocks, it was good for the price but I wouldn't race back in a hurry

 

[craftymama71]

Well you must try it Karen. And Cracker Barrel too

When we first went to America all we wanted to try was Taco Bell. I got over it pretty fast but DH and DD still love it. I couldn't get over how cheap it was though.

Ahhh Taco Bell Our whole family loves it and it's such a affordable way to feed our family of five for a meal whilst on holiday in the U.S. I know it's junky but hey we're on holiday! Before we went to Orlando, I even researched where the local Taco Bell's were so that we could find them once we had our rental car!! The nearest to WDW is in the food hall in the Premium Outlets nearest WDW. The nearest to Universal is a stand alone store located very near the other Premium Outlets up that way. Hence factory shopping + Taco Bell =

Yeah, we had a pretty dismal meal at Cracker Barrel but I think that we may have just picked badly? We might try them again sometime. We like Applebees though and hope to try The Cheesecake Factory this time ( hoping to run into Sheldon and the boys )

We miss

1. Hot Tamales (me)
2. Buffalo Wings ( me and DH)
3. Clam chowder , preferably from Boston! ( me)
4. Disney churros ( me and DS)
5. Root beer (DH and DS)
6. Gumbo (DH)

PF Changs - (specifically the Lettuce Cups but love everything I've had there)
Cheesecake Factory - (specifically the Godiva Cheesecake and Linda's Fudge cake)
Volcano at Rainforest Cafe (can you see a dessert pattern forming)
American Brownies (with warm chocolate fudge)
Chocolate thick shakes (They seem to be just melted rich chocolate ice cream)
Loaded Potato Soup (Carnation Cafe Disneyland)
and Burgers

That's 7, oh well, I can't count

 

[BecBennett]

There's not a huge amount on my list, because my stomach can't handle too much high fructose corn syrup, and that's in pretty much everything

Anyhoo -

Ben & Jerry's ice cream
Churros
Marshmallow in a jar
The mince meat that goes into burgers (just seems so much nicer then our mince meat... )
Ketchup

 

[Luisa]

Broccoli pizza from a dodgy looking place in NY near the Empire State
Snickerdoodles - they're just not the same when I make them
Chilli in a sourdough bowl
The Disney version of turtles
Corn dogs

Oh dear, have just eaten en entire bag of sweet/salty popcorn while reading this thread.....
