What is something you can only get near where you live, that the rest of the world needs to try?

I imagine that since the United States is filled with regional and exclusive stuff. so, too, must be the rest of the world.

In Wisconsin, you HAVE to try fresh cheese curds. They're locally called "squeaky cheese", with good reason. They are as described on the tin; curds of fresh cheese. Not dry, a bit more moisture than, say, shredded cheese or those cubes of Cracker Barrel, but they're everywhere, at every convenience store or gas station, hand-packaged in little bags with twist ties.

A bit sharper than regular cheddar or most semi-hard American cheeses, and they literally squeak when you chew them. Even better when they are deep-fried, with some ketchup.

Tell us about the good shit near you that no one else can get. Or something from a place you used to live that you can't find anymore.

Back when I was living in the Cincinnati tri-state area, I used to love a pizza place called "LaRosa's Pizzeria." It's only in the Cincinnati area of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana and it's a rather interesting pizza that I've never had anywhere else.

In my neck of the woods geodes are very common and there are parks you can go to where every 5th rock is a geode waiting to be broken open

It's actually to the point that we stopped collecting them

Same. Used to go after every single one of them but now we just go for the coolest-looking ones.

    That's a relief to hear. Do you know what happened?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But you still don't know what it was?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Has he had seizures before?
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
