Burp.

This is hilarious! I've had to call my mom in Texas for the "hot dog chili" in a can. We miss it and you can't find it up here. Or fajitas (that are any good), or fresh bread or fresh produce or mexican food. Boy, I can't wait to move!

I remember the commercials, but I never have cared for Wolf Brand. Armour was our family's preference...

[xsmommy]

do you eat this?

[AppyPappy]

I still crave real barbeque from North Carolina.

I think you can still get a Frito Pie at any Chili's. It's actually one of the less expensive items on the menu and quite filling.

[Cincinatus]

You can actually get Frito Pie of sorts here in the DC area at a chain called Hard Times. They put the Fritos in a bowl and ladel the chilli over it. Sort of a bit more like Frito Pasta, come to think of it....

I can hear the arteries hardening from here....

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Creeeeeeeak. Of course, i'm feeling an urge for deep fried dill pickles about now.

[TADSLOS]

Frito pie - the original Nachos Grande. Yum!

[DooDahhhh]

Hey, I still make Frito Pie occassionally. (Originially from Gilmer, Texas) I had forgotten about wolf brand Chili, though.

Now that you've posted this, I wonder how many freepers will be eating Frito Pie tonight?

[RANGERAIRBORNE]

My wife is from Minnesota, and she makes a GREAT Frito pie (not quite as much jalapeno as I want, but I am free to add all I want once it's on my plate!). By the way, she denies ever having eaten "Lutefisk", and does not "crave" it.

[jellybean]

YUMMMMMMM!!! Can't wait to try this!!

I recently found that the HyVee near my house in Lee's Summit, MO (after YEARS of pleading) is now carrying Nathan's Famous beef franks (and the mustard, too!). Tonight, for dinner, it'll be a few franks w/ mustard, kraut, and some Sabrett onions in sauce, finished with some tums or rolaids!

Every time I go back to NY, the one place I must eat is Nathans!

Frito pie sounds good. Spaghetti pie's pretty good too.

[expatguy]

Being a Texpatriate myself I can truly emphasize with this. Going shopping here in Malaysia to one of the two small stores that carry imported food is an adventure everytime because you never know what they have in stock this time.

I still remember a few years ago getting a call from a friend up in Penang working for Dell computer asking me if I was able to "score" some Monterrey Jack cheese or not. I drove 200 miles one night with 20lbs of cheese in an ice chest and exchanged it for Pace picante sauce.

3) Add cheese. Velveeta is fine.

Not in Wisconsin it's not. Otherwise this sounds delicious.

The Woolworths on the Plaza in Santa Fe, New Mexico!

Sorry, Texans.

[holyscroller]

Gotta admit it does sound good, but my mouth still waters for scrapple, Tasty Kakes, sticky buns, hoagies, crab cakes and other Pennsylvania fare.

[CheneyChick]

OK - this CA couldn't resist reading the thread. What can I say - culture fascinates me... I'd even go so far as to try out this Frito Pie phenomena. What could it hurt? (Don't answer that.)

Cheers, CC :)
