I also love Movarian Cookies, Im starting to see those in more gourmet specialty shops.
And I am always excited to see Cheerwine on the shelf at Harris Teeter.
Oh and Biscuitville (which is based in VA but all over NC).

NC Native here... I attended Governor's School one summer and fell in love with W-S. Oh, those were the days. We ate a LOT of Moravian cookies. (I also have a Moravian star that we use in our Christmas decorations... no one in our neighborhood has one and we've gotten lots of compliments.)

But you misspelled Krispy Kreme. I'm going to assume that's an auto correct fail.

How in the world are there so many people from or familiar with W-S on this thread? I (another one hailing from 'the dash') am amazed.

Don't forget Texas Pete also makes green mountain gringo, which I think is pretty tasty for a mainstream jarred salsa.

And not just Moravian cookies...add on Moravian sugarcake and love feast buns.

It should be against the law to use Texas on any product that isn't made in Texas!! lol

BTW, all of those around the DC beltway, just because a sandwich has bbq sauce on it and has it as a Texas something or other, doesn't mean anyone in Texas actually makes a sandwich like that.

How is their pizza different?

The crust is on the sweet side and cornmeal is on the bottom of the crust. I also love the toppings all the way to the edge. It's cut in squares so there are 4 tiny "corner" pieces that I always used to snack on in the car on the drive home from picking it up. My favorite of theirs is the Hawaiian with ham, pineapple, slivered almonds and cinnamon.

Speaking of the "the Dash" I just went to the W-S minor league game known as the "dash"--very fun.

And not just Moravian cookies...add on Moravian sugarcake and love feast buns.

Yes! Anything from Deweys bakery is amazing. Thats where I pick up my moravian cookie supplies. I was just there a few weeks ago and made my DH run in to pick me up a creme horn and a sheet of sugar cake. Holy cow, Deweys is the best. And leave feast buns. Well love feast in general and we aren't moravian.

Vernors - No ginger ale can compare! I recently saw a 6 pack at Balducci's in Alexandria, I was excited!
Faygo pop, specifically Rock N Rye. I miss that. Staple at any backyard bbq or cookout at the lake was a cooler filled with cans of Faygo.

And not really a brand, but I haven't had a good coney dog in years!

DH is from Mississippi so I didn't experience it until I went home with him, but Nehi Peach Soda is ridiculously sweet and amazing. I once saw some in a gas station in Winchester, VA about 6 years ago but haven't seen it since. Even when I went to NOLA last year, I didn't see it around anywhere, and I drove through MS.
