I miss grits !! Some say polenta is equivalent to grits, but it isn't. OK, so I'm southern and redneck, but I'd sure love to have some grits for breakfast after a couple of weeks of rolls and cold cuts.

I am from Hawaii so I really miss the fresh, fresh seafood that we get at home. And I miss Spam. (I know you think I am kidding but I'm not!)<BR><BR>I think I would have to be away for over a month to miss anything, though.

There was a time that the one thing I really missed was cold. low-fat, non-UHT milk. Fortunately, this has gotten easier to find.

Well I was all set to say a bagel (poppy seeds) with cream cheese and lox (smoked salmon).<BR><BR>Guess what, there are bagel shops all over London and surprisingly enough, the bagels taste just like New York bagels more so in fact than many other places in the USA. It was delicious...<BR><BR>But I do miss vanilla cokes.

Do you Americans realize how pathetic and classless you all sound.

When I travel to Italy for over a month, I have to have Thai food, pad thai to be exact, so I go though withdrawl. <BR>Also, Mexican food now that I think about it, with some good refried beans and tortillas.

Yep, grits, eggs, biscuits, and a thick slice of country ham. Breakfast doesn't get any better than that.

I love to try food from all over the world and definitely &quot;take it all in&quot; while I am abroad. Upon returning home however, I sure do love Southern cooking.

I start to miss my fix of stuffed grape leaves and other Middle Eastern food when I am in some countries that I am unsure about buying them in (how is that for a sentence)?

First, my Starbucks coffee<BR><BR>Second, it's really weird but I never ever eat McDonalds at home or abroad, except for the first night I'm home from a long trip, I have such a craving for a Big Mac and fries, it's scary.
