I used to go grocery shopping in Vienna. Magruder’s mushrooms were legendary.

I just got a speeding ticket while eating a cronut in Waldo Florida. The snack was great and I now can answer the question “Where’s Waldo “

Oh boy, a local Whole Foods has Isigny Ste Mere butter in stock today. I know they sometimes carry it but I’ve never found it there on any of my infrequent visits. Adding a WF stop to today’s errands.

Also, Trader Joes “Gone Bananas” - frozen banana bites dipped in dark chocolate.

I used to make these for my kids and their friends (20ish years ago). Every summer we rented a cottage on a lake for a couple of weeks and these were a favourite cottage food. Really easy to make and somewhat healthy.

You’re exactly right. Always annoyed me with that pronunciation.

My ex had an uncle who had a summer house up there so we used to go up. There was a river where we all would jump off cliffs to swim right off the road.

The first time I drove my DD to Vernon, NY for the summer, we were driving down the interstate when I saw the sign for Mexico, NY, I thought I’d make a joke, and said to her “We’re farther south than I thought! We’re almost to Mexico!” She just gave me a look. Turns out she thought I was serious. Told my DH. I’m still rather annoyed many years later she thought I was that stupid.

That would be awesome! I don’t know if it’s the novelty (“Look! It’s a taco but it’s ice cream…!”) or the mix of flavors and textures. Is a ChocoTaco super premium ice cream? No. Is a ChocoTaco fun to say and eat? Heck yeah!

ChocoTacos always reminded me of a Nutty Buddy, but folded horizontally. And therefore the ChocoTacos were more convenient. And somehow more tasty.
I can’t find a Nutty Buddy anymore, either.

We have a Ver-sails in CT too. One of three small villages that make up the town of Sprague. We also have a Thames River - pronounced like it is spelled as it should be!

God help me if I ever go to some of these places. I’ve had enough French education, living in a bilingual country, and having some understanding of how things are pronounced in England, I’d likely be looked at like a total foreigner.

Chili, NY wants a word with you. It’s Chai-lye.
