In fact, like Bee I'm surprised they're having trouble.

I used to stock up when I went to New England, but now I'm not sure if you can bring it on a plane.

My grandparents lived in NE and every time we went up there we would get some Moxie. I have not had it in forever and now I really want to try and find some here since you found it in TX.joshhill1021https://www.blogger.com/profile/00262725763812594725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133960841665156459.post-78944640668490143942008-12-11T15:09:00.000-06:002008-12-11T15:09:00.000-06:00GG - I have a feeling there will a lot of people w...GG - I have a feeling there will a lot of people who will be glad to have "goverment cheese" this coming year.<BR/><BR/>Bee - I paid almost 10 dollars for a chunk about the size of a deck of cards.<BR/><BR/>The Moxie was a wonderful find, but now that I know they have it, I'll be going there more and spending $$$$$.

I practically grew up on government commodities of cheese, rice, peanut butter, non-fat dry milk, and canned pork!<BR/><BR/>Somehow I think the nice Parma cheese is soooo much better than the "cheese" we got in the 10 pound block.GourmetGoddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16673545397406871152noreply@blogger.com
