Where to buy comfort foods

[southerngirl]

Hello all,

I'm a newbie and wondered if you may be able to direct me. I am a native New Orleanian but reside in Kansas City, MO.

Is there any place online I might be able to purchase the following items:

-Luncheon Meat
-Hog Head Cheese
-Boudin
-Antoine's King Cake
-Bunny Bread


TIA!!

Hi Southern Girl,

We moved to New Orleans in September of 2007 from Kansas City, Missouri. Enjoy KC..it's a great city!

Luncheon meat is available at Wal Mart, all across America. No need to pay mail-order prices for ConAgra's finest.

Antoine's bakery can be reached at 504-368-6222; call 'em and see if they'll deliver.

Bunny Bread is a brand owned by Flowers Foods; it is distributed in the Southeast. Flowers has a number of other brands--see here: http://www.flowersfoods.com/FFC_Brands/index.cfm Cobblestone Mill, Nature's Own, Sunbeam, etc. Perhaps one of their other brands will be close enough to Bunny to suit your tastebuds.

I have bought from this site to send food items to out of state friends and have been quite pleased. (I have no connection to the company)

Those packaged meats hanging up there next to the Oscar Mayer bologna, like pimento loaf, cheese loaf, boiled ham, etc. Cold cuts.

No, luncheon meat is a specific kind of cold cut: also called "luncheon loaf", it is a spiced, chopped pork loaf. It has a finely mottled, pink and white appearance (sort of the same look as pale skin when you're really cold, hence the condition junior high kids call "lunchmeat legs").

I know. But where kcdixiecat is from, the term encompasses more of those others as well. It's like square and rectangle. Luncheon loaf is a luncheon meat, but luncheon meat is not necessarily luncheon loaf. Or maybe not where kcdixiecat is from, but elsewhere.

I was defining the term as used by southerngirl in the original post. She's not talking about "cold cuts" in general, but about luncheon loaf. What you put on your Bunny Bread when you go fishing, or ya daddy ate it with a cold Dixie. What's not nice enough for finger sandwiches at a baby shower. You know, lunchmeat.

LOL Ok, now I really am completely confused. It's a specific kind of cold cut then. When I hear the term luncheon meat...I automatically think of bologna, salami, ham and cheese loaf, all of those things that a company like Oscar Mayer makes.


So, now...I see that I need to go to Walmart and look in the cold cut section for something specifically called luncheon loaf...is this correct?

Yes. Luncheon loaf (here) is the one that's like meat with meat in it, rather than cheese, or olive or pimento. Sorta like thin-sliced SPAM with a little more tug to it.

This is what I have always taken it to mean as well.

Thank you all for your responses.

Yes, Hungryone hit the nail on the head. Someone in the KC area told me it was called Dutch loaf or Homestyle Loaf here. So I went to the deli and asked for these items. They had Homestyle loaf and the look was similar it did not taste the same.

Just something about a luncheon meat sandwich on Bunny with Blue Plate mayo! Man, that's good eatin!

Hi Southern Girl,

I'm trying but I can't stand the cold weather! People here are very nice but there is no place like home. I will admit the fall season is very beautiful and nothing I had ever seen before.

You know, I was grocery shopping for my mother yesterday (she is recovering from surgery) and she wanted luncheon meat. I was at Rouse's. There was not a luncheon meat to be found....ham, turkey, ham and cheese, salami but no luncheon meat as in the old fashioned kind we had as kids. I was shocked. The deli line was long, so I didn't bother...she got ham like it or not.

Sorry for the hijack.

I moved to Kansas City from Kentucky..the only problem I had with KC was the bitter cold weather. My first winter there..I think I slept in sweats and socks every night. I did get a few curious looks when I talked..and had to repeat myself more than once. After a while, I just decided that midwesterners can't help it if they talk funny;)

I do miss Jack Stack Barbecue and good mexican food though. There is a lot of KC that I miss....but New Orleans feels like home now. We love this city!

Well New Orleans needs good people so I'm glad you made it your home.

I'm no fan of barbecue or Mexican food so I struggle with the food choices. But the new Power & Light district is very nice and serving the city well.

In the meantime, I'm dreaming of a nice Spring day...

ok, let's see...thinking of another place for you to try. Try Stroud's..they have some of the best fried chicken you'll find anywhere! Their new place is at 4200 Shawnee Mission Parkway.

Then..this summer..go to Winstead's. They're all over the city..and get a cherry limeade. You'll learn to love KC. I was apprehensive at first. I had moved to KC from a small town of 2500 people..BIG adjustment for this small town girl. But, I really did learn to love Kansas City.

Oh, and if you like blues...check out Grand Emporium or Knuckleheads. They always have some great shows. Marcia Ball plays at Knuckleheads a couple of times a year.
