You can also get "hamburger relish" there (it has some form of tomato in
it), which you can't get in Austin or Phoenix. I'm going to have to ask
my sister to get some next time she's visiting her future parents-in-law,
to send to *my* parents-in-law. :)
My father-in-law grew up in New Jersey, one of his sisters still lives
there, and he visits regularly, though not as often as he did when his
father was still alive. The part of New Jersey he grew up in is pretty,
but the whole thing of not being *allowed* to pump your own gas bugged us.
