Not So Fast With That Hijacked Ham, Sir
article is pretty good and accurate (another link here http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap_travel/20080425/ap_tr_ge/travel_brief_food_food_customs
what is all boils down to is: what is is, where it came from, and how it is packaged. all these variables come with different threat levels (ie mad cow disease, foot and mouth disease, insect pests, etc). Before you try to sneak in that foie gras from france, think about what you could be jeopardizing (considering the popularity of the locavore movement and the overall stimulation and protection of our nation's food production). and it's pretty costly too (citrus canker in florida: millions- just one example)
Sack Lunch: Peanut Butter and Honey Sandwich
tip- if the sandwiches have to travel, add a bit of butter between the honey and bread- prevents the honey from soaking the bread and making it soggy. Have always loved this sammich- brings me back. (Camp Tamahay, Akeley, MN, 1992-2000)

So I'd better stick to Smithfield hams?
Soft-Shell Crabs
BALTIMORE and absolutely no place else! And in Baltimore the only place to get a good, basic, real down to earth soft shell crab is Faidley's at the Lexington Market.
So there.
Soft-Shell Crabs
My dad is a shrimper in Louisiana and always catches some for me since he knows they're my favorite! I know the Northeast is famous for them, but we get some pretty nice ones on the Gulf Coast, too.
They do freeze well. Daddy cleans them well and freezes them in water in Ziploc bags. Once thawed, pat them dry, dip in milk & egg mixture, dredge in well-seasoned flour and fry to golden brown. They are the best-tasting things in the world!!!!!!!
Soft-Shell Crabs
My husband's family is from the Chesapeake Bay (Gran-Pop was a fisherman) I know they ship them all over the country, but the season is indeed short. Late May through June. Get them fresh, cook them quick! We give them a quick dusting of cornmeal/flour/old bay mix and sautee them in 50-50 butter/canola oil with tons of garlic. It is important to clean them properly. I leave that part up to the guys. ((((I know, kitchen weenie)))
Sack Lunch: Peanut Butter and Honey Sandwich
This is a good treat, tho I have to share a rather 'down' story about this. My cousin and her sisters spent several years in a children's orphanage in SC during the 1940s. In later years, when, as a child, I would visit this cousin, she would always make me a peanut butter sandwich on white bread, covered with -- corn syrup. I loved it and thought it was special. It was years later that I recall she told me this was what the children were served for dinner in the home on many nights. It was hardly a 'treat' for her....it was survival.

Mmmm! I love the PB and Honey on soft white bread! I seriously remember eating something like chicken fried steak at camp and topping it off with a PB and Honey sandwich! If I did that today I would weigh a million pounds!
Sack Lunch: Peanut Butter and Honey Sandwich
Oh my, yes. Love 'em. Haven't had one in ages though! I'll have to rectify that situation very soon. One of the things I like best about PB&H sandwiches is when the honey crystallizes a little bit in the bread and you get the slightest little soft crunch when you bite into it.
