Murf,

        You mentioned the best coffee in the world, which always tugs at my taste buds, since I'm a coffee fanatic.  I really enjoy full bodied darker roast coffees than the normal American blends.  There's a little deli up in Little Italy in Boston that my sister goes to for me.  The fella that owns the place has been roasting his own coffee beans for so many years that everybody's lost count.  Anyway, his espresso roast is to die for.  My sister manages to get to his place about twice a year, and picks up 2 or 3 lbs each time she goes and sends them to me.  As soon as I get the beans they go into sealed glass jars, and you just gotta believe me when I tell ya, when you crack the lid on the glass jar, the aroma is pure heaven.  Oh yeah, when brewed, I get anywhere from 1/8' to 1/4" of crema on the top.  For Kona coffee,  some of the best in the world can be had from a little place on the California Coast, in the town of Fort Bragg.  Company called Thanksgiving Coffee, their web site is:  http://www.thanksgivingcoffee.com/.  Not only Kona, but just about any bean you want.  I used to live about 20 miles away from them in the little town of Willits, Ca.  We still have friends in Ft. Bragg, and they send us coffee every once in a while from Thanksgiving Coffee.  Then there's a buddy of mine who lives in Hawaii, and sends me coffee from one of the local coffee roasters there.  MMmmmmmmmmm, mmmmmmm, mmmmmmm-mmmmmmm......

You southern boys don't make scrapple and puding?  Even Byard grew up in PA Dutch country with the good stuff.  You probably claim to know where the best pretzels come from.  Byard and I are only 30 minutes apart on that one.  Stream food and beer are my specialties.  Go first Byard, its your list.  Oh!  The best coffee in the world just came into my hands but its not Starbucks.  Truth be known its roasted in Ottawa and called Reunion Island (origin of coffee near Madagascar) by one of the top five roasting chefs on the planet who picks out the beans himself.  Yes listmeister, samples aplenty of  Starbucks to Reunion and some other brands coming your way once the box gets some pean! uts inside.  Send me your snail addy again since I left it at work.  Forgot, the best ham I ever had was sugar cured from my granddaddy's smokehouse and them Virginians have no clue.  Biscuit, ham, honey, oh my!
