When you moved from your home state to a different state what food/drink could you not find there that you were able to buy before?

MOVE 1
From Highland Park, Michigan to Los Angeles, California.  NO VERNOR'S GINGERALE till many decades later!

MOVE 2
From Los Angeles to Boston. ZERO MEXICAN RESTAURANTS OR MEXICAN FOODS IN THE MARKETS. ZERO!

When we moved back to L.A. from Boston 5 years later every day for lunch I ate a bean/cheese burrito. No joke. No kidding. I expect by now there are lots of Mexican restaurants and foods in Boston but in 1965? Nope.

Also couldn't find BEST FOODS MAYO until I discovered it was called HELLMAN'S on the east coast. Why I do not know.

So what similar experiences have you had?

    Ya when we moved from Windsor Ontario to BC I could no longer find Vernors Ginger Ale. I really missed it because it tasted real good plus it was good for easing a upset belly. Cheers!

    Resch's Pilsener. It's still my go-to beer when I visit fam in Sydney.

    Shelleys soda. No loss, Woodroofe in South Australia is better.
