i was talking with some friends on another site about a month ago, and i found out that alot of them hadn't tried ribbon candy. i was surprised to learn that ribbon candy isn't a national thing but is mainly common here in the northeast (which was semi-shocking since ribbon candy is such a regular thing around the holidays here it feels weird NOT to have it.)
i was even more shocked to learn that some of them hadn't tried chocolate oranges. o__o;;
of course, one of my friends on that website is from sweden(homeland! yay!) where moose meat is much more common than it is here, (same goes for reindeer meat). then of course there's kinder eggs, which are pretty much the best candy ever but aren't sold in the US......
so i was wondering fello bentoers, are there any regional specialties where you live? obviously there's the ribbon candy i mentioned here, and since i'm in new england, that makes maple syrup a regional specialty too. :3

Although tea be bought anywhere, Los Angeles does have a unique approach to it- called "fusion tea." For example there is a store/ cafe called Bird Pick and they make a fresh drink called a Tropical Sunrise. It is composed of crushed orange and lemon slices, mint, white tea, and hibiscus juice.
Random question... Does anyone know what BOBA is?

Random question... Does anyone know what BOBA is? That drink sounds absolutely delicious!! And are you asking what boba is because you don't know? Boba is the same thing as "pearls" or "bubbles" in bubble tea. They're tapioca pearls of varying sizes and I love them 3nodding

Sir3n Song And are you asking what boba is because you don't know? I do know what it is. If you remember the Los Angeles/ Sawtelle area, there is the place Volcano Tea across the street from Beard Papa's and the Nijiya Market. I was just wondering what other parts of the country it is available in.
