Does anyone know of communities or other resources to share regional products (in the us)? (lemmy.world)

Probably limit to the us for feasibility: i want to find out about regional products but also have a chance of getting interesting ones.

For example I recently found about two flavors of soda available in parts of the us but not where I am (Peach Crush, Cactus Cooler). I was able to order online to try them!

What else is regional to you that someone may like? Any communities? Links? Online resources to help?

Always an excellent choice, except that I live in the northeast. I grew up where one of the things my grandfather’s farm produced was maple syrup! I’ve always been a huge fan

But of course that’s the hard part: I didn’t even think of it. I’m not entirely aware of it being specific to this region: it’s just a part of Normal life. If someone turned my question back on me, I don’t know if I could answer

    Maple syrup is everywhere in NA. But you have to know that the cheap stuff - aunt Jemima - is just corn syrup. I have been told you can buy it by the gallon over there. Here its more if a luxury product.

    Yeah, corn syrup doesn’t count. I never willingly use that.

    Buying real maple syrup by the gallon is not in groceries. You can get it that size but need to seek it out. I don’t use it enough to bother, plus then you need a separate pitcher and need to refill that all the time
