Of what to take back with me to NM from the east coast/south.
I already have quite a few things on my list. White Lily flour, white cornmeal, Dukes Mayonnaise (may not be all that great, but it fits well into southern cooking), some country ham products including a country/Smithfield type ham( if I don't faint from sticker shock).
I was wandering through the local grocers today, and trying to figure out anything else that might be a don't miss, or don't forget item, and I thought I would ask you all for suggestions.
These things would be things I can only get readily here on the east coast, especially Virginia and surrounding areas. I can't really take perishables back with me, although I wish I could... I have one rather small cooler that will keep things cold enough on the trip...and it will be filled with things like a slab of country bacon, maybe some pole beans (to cook when I get back home) and maybe a few other small perishables.

Just in case you haven't tasted Smithfield ham... I'd go easy on the size. It doesn't compare to "what we had on the farm."

Whole Smithfield dry-cured hams are only $3/lb here in TX.

Butter beans!
Bob-
The beige kind in a can?; are those kind really favas?
I've not seen fresh "butter beans" for 65 years. Can you send me a google image to which you are referring? Thanks. Dee Dee
I saw fresh shelled butter beans today, in a produce market here. They look like baby limas... The sign said butter beans, and there were unshelled butter beans in another pile... I almost got some...
They were always called butter beans here, when I was growing up....here in Richmond. Boli knows them by that name too....

When we lived in Greensboro, we could get cryovac-ed slices of country ham. These packages were on the grocery shelf. Those would be reasonably portable and take up a lot less space than a big ol' ham.
You could also get some Mount Olive Pickles (from the corner of Cucumber and Vine) and east coast BBQ sauce.

For me it would be sacks of hominy and all the different kinds of dried chillies, but then those things are very rare here or absolutely not sold ever.

I've always wondered if they were the same thing. In the cans the product is called "butter beans," and they are big and beige. What happens? I just have never been able to figure out this transition. Dee Dee

Those big beige canned ones are what I call butter beans, too, Dee Dee. I've never seen them fresh but maybe they change colour when you cook them? The green ones that stay green are limas, regardless of the size 🙂 At least that's what I grew up with.

File powder, chickhory coffee. white lily flour and cornmeal, fiddle heads if in season. crawdads, prailenes (sp??) (candy coated pecans with a attitude)...Well maybe not the fiddle heads, but they are a Acadian thing.
