Holiday Gifts: Foods (that are shipped)

[mfluder]

To the powers of MM, since you guys are great at making me find things to buy, can you guys recommend good food based gifts that can be shipped for the holidays?

Previously, I've done cheeses from a local cheese store and lobster raviolis, for instance.

Local, niche, delicious but unusual items are highly encouraged.

Thank you!

Their bacon is awesome. And my dad liked the liverwurst so I used to get him this package every year: www.nueskes.com/meat-and-cheese-party-pack.aspx?F_All=Y

Check out Wild Ophelia chocolates. Sorry, can't link on my phone. But they have some really interesting stuff!

Florida citrus. Napa wines. Georgia peaches.

There's a little restaurant on small town Iowa that ships the most delicious loose meat sandwiches (think Roseanne). It is called Taylor's Maid Rites. So yum!!

TRUFFLES.

I highly recommend the company called No Chewing Allowed (NYC Based) - www.nochewingallowed.com/
They are some of the best I have ever tasted.

Um. I want those for me - they're on sale now (until Dec 1). Clearly its too early to buy now for gifts, but me lol?

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I CHRISTMAS SHOP. This for family, these five things for me. This for family, these three things for me.

Southern things are always appreciated. Again, now I want these.

This is more dessert-y and probably not quite as rare as you're looking for, but I can personally vouch for Swiss Colony tortes and Harry and David moose munch.

We've been sending Virginia Diner since we lived in VA. I need to find something MD-related (but more affordable than crab cakes). vadiner.com/GiftSetsList.aspx?CategoryID=34&selection=0

My aunt got Christmas Stollen sent from somewhere...I avoided trying it because it looked really fruitcake-y, but it was OHMIGODSOGOOD!!! It's got marzipan in the middle. (I don't know if this is where hers was from, it's just the first one I found).
