I have an idea for a thread.......

I am just tossing this out to see if it is a good idea.....


Miss Meow has just asked about ranch dressing again......It's not her fault....It's us rude Americans keeping all the good stuff to ourselves..

But my question is...
Would anyone be interested in particpating in a
Human/Pet Treat Exchange?????

There are so many great foods out there (We have to limit this to powdered/freeze dried or boxed non perishables).

My idea is to begin a package with a food item that someone is interested in..In the package would be a notebook where you can record your thoughts, paste a pic of you or you cats enjoying your treats and ????

It would be sent to one person at a time and if you know of something that you are interested in you can post a message about it.....

I know that some people have shown an interest in a vitamin paste that is available in Europe...Ranch dressing in Oz.....


Thoughts???

That sounds interesting!
So...it would be like a chain letter-except with food?!

So say I want cheez its, someonewould send me cheez its and i would send a picture of me eating them and something that someone else want and that they dont have and hey`d do the same thing as I did?

Is that right?

lbaker
03-10-2004, 07:42 PM
ewww, you actually WANT Cheez-its? How about Velveeta? ewww Good for fur-kid pills maybe. Want American? How about Scrapple? But don't send back Haggis please. Uh Oh, may be getting trouble here... again. DANG! Oh Richard, you get me in soooo much trouble when I'm in a weird mood :eek:

03-10-2004, 09:19 PM
What an interesting idea!!! My not sure how all the logistics may work out...running out of something as it is passed out, long delays between stops, as life sometimes get busy...but definatly worth thinking about!!

catnapper
03-10-2004, 09:30 PM
We can get TastyKakes and fresh-from-the-factory Hershey's chocolate... believe me, there is a huge difference when its fresh:D We also can get honest-to-goodness Amish Shoofly pie.

I am addicted to tea - both hot and iced - and have always wondered what real English tea tastes like.

My husband wants to know how someone from Scotland could send fresh fish and chips... complete with newspaper.:) He had some when stationed over there in the Navy and would love more.

PJ's Mom
03-10-2004, 10:15 PM
I want real Australian vegemite. :D

Miss Meow
03-10-2004, 10:16 PM
Sounds like fun!

I am drooling over the memories of Nomilynn's Candian dill pickle chips right now! :)

This could be a goer, especially if we use lighter items. The postage on cans and big jars adds up very quickly.

Ugh, who mentioned haggis? Can I not pair up with you please? :D ;)

I don't have to eat the pet treats, do I? ;)

Nomilynn
03-10-2004, 10:17 PM
I need Amy to send me some apple beer from Utah :p

Catnapper - I would be happy to send you some Good Host Iced Tea. It tastes nothing like regular tea.. it's WAY better. I could also send you some Murchies Tea, which is the VERY best and the only kind the Queen will drink when she visits Victoria (I don't know if that's true, but it sounds good :p)

My dad LOVED the licorice, by the way :)

I had one bite of Haggis when I was in Scotland - it wasn't bad. I was visiting my former boss and his wife, and we went out to eat - I think she got haggis purposefully so I could try a bite! :) Can't think of anything from some other part of the world I'm particularly hanking for, but it's just begun maple season here - there will be maple sugar candy available in stores a little while, but it's only for a little while, too! What with Fedex and all the Just-in-time economic forces at work, and iving in an ethnically mixed urban-ish area, I have a wide varety of food choices available!

RICHARD
03-11-2004, 02:28 PM
lol,

The basic premise is a food and a animal treat...
something small and not too heavy....

I was thinking requests would be neat, but the tea sounded like a good idea..


OR,

We could start the thread and just have people sign up for it in turn......The treats would be a mystery...That would be fun....candy, like Karen's
maple sugar candies sound great!!!!

More thoughts??

Miss Meow
03-11-2004, 03:38 PM
Sounds fun to me :)

How about someone mentions a food they like or haven't tried, and someone responds that they can do it? They do a swap.

So, for example, I could send PJ's Mom some Vegemite (you sick puppy ;)) and she could send me something.

Surprises could be fun too. Someone could say they're a chocoholic, and someone else sends them a surprise pack of local goodies :)

etc etc

Cincy'sMom
03-11-2004, 04:07 PM
I think it sounds like fun, but I do think a one on one swap, or a swap like the gift exchange is done would work best. I may have misread, but I thought the original idea was to have the same material continously circulate, and that was where i wasn;'t sure they logistics would work out...

We have lots of local Ohio stuff that I'm not sure can be purchased other places...Tony Pacos (made famous by Klinger on MASH), Dietsch's chocolate, Skyline Chili.....

RICHARD
03-11-2004, 05:39 PM
lolololol,

I am sorry, I tells jokes better than explain concepts....

The first plan would be to start with a package... example, tea and a small pack of animal treats......sent with a spiral bound book....

The recipient would enjoy their treats and send it to the NEXT person with a different set of treats in the package.....after recording a note or a picture of them or the pets enjoying the treat....

That way the cost is kept small, the package is kept moving and we all get a chance to experience different things......

Now if there might be something that someone hears about and is interested in they could PM or make arrangements to make a swap outside the project.

That way we can keep the shipping costs down and the notebook going.......

CM,

The original PT Gift swap is a good idea...I was just looking for a twist on that project, something that people would look forward to and by keeping it low cost and low tech a little bit of fun for the people in the 'string'..

I like the idea of this, I just hope, if it works that everyone does their part, it would only take one person to mess the whole thing up. :( It would be fun to see how many states, countrys this one package goes to.

One ? , what happens to the note book once it reaches the last person?

Hey, that I can do...;) Course it only comes in either glass bottles or cans, so I hope it would break or explode! :eek:

I may have to get some more interesting Canadian chips. ;) I've only found one brand of dill pickle chips that compares, the rest are not very good!

If anyone likes Hot Cocoa, there's a great brand of gormet hot cocoa that's made in Utah, Stephen's.

Pink/fry sauce is the only other thing I can think of...hmm...Idaho Spuds candy bar too. Nothing very exciting here!

My brother gave me some chocolate from Switzerland sometime, I'd love some more of that! mmmmm

I think it would be fun to have one person to send stuff to. I could send someone some freshly made citrus candy. There's a place in my town that makes it daily. It's fun to go there for samples :)

What do we do with the spiral notebook? Why put it on display at Thursday's of course! We could also send it along to a few of the PetTalkMeetings for others to sign and enjoy! Maybe? My Maryland is most famous for crabcakes but they don't ship well. Lots of other goodies though.... surprizes are F-U-N :D There was a book that was getting passed around not long ago (I last loaned to WolfLady at the LA bar-b-que) that everybody signed before passing it along again. It was called "Pack of Two". WolfLady, do you still have it or have you handed off?

catnapper
03-12-2004, 06:53 AM
I love this idea and have been sitting on the edge of my seat ever since I heard I could possibly get authentic English Tea.

I honestly don't know what I could send... I live in an area where there's a lot of interesting things. I can't tell you how many times a factory or store here has been shown on the Food Network on one of their shows as a "place to be"

Maybe this will cheer you up and perhaps Miss Meow or The Captain can oblige you with a nice jar of vegemite.

(nice being a relative term).

Richard sign me up for The world famous wild huckleberry treats from Glacier Park.
We have just about any thing you can imagine chocolates , bbq sause , honey, and not ediable but soaps.
This sounds like a Flat Jack type of thing, maybe we could each send along a pic of our crews along with it.
sounds like lot of fun. you could make the list and e-mail it to each person as we do for X-mas cards. that would make the sending list easier for every one.

Do you want food from here that is not sent to other places? Is there a way to find out what that is. As far as I know, everything grown or made here is shipped elsewhere.

RICHARD
03-12-2004, 12:07 PM
lol,

I think we have to sit down and think about the BEST way to do this.....

Either a chain letter or

Have people put down what they would like to receive and somehow figure out a way to accomodate
everyone!!

That sounds like a good idea.

I was thinking that maybe when the whole thing is over with, the book should be sent to Karen and Paul as the founders of P.T. Just for them to have as a "legacy" of P.T. and all the people they brought toghter. Just a thought. It just seem someone special should have the final book.

Unfirtauntly, freah from the store wouldn't ship well...but it does come in cans here too. Not quite the same, but we live about 2 hours away from the closest resteraunt, so it works for us :)

Thanks, Michelle - stirring up trouble again eh?

;)

RICHARD
03-16-2004, 11:40 AM
After further review.....I think that we can run this this way....

Since it will take too long to circulate a notebook, Maybe we can just have people pair off with their food requests...That way everyone gets instant gratification and everyone gets what they want and we can post our thoughts immediately.

If you crave something, or can fill someone's order.......let the person know and make arrangements!

I guess I will start off this project by sending you some Ranch Dressing...

I want to warn you...You will be getting an envelope with white powder in it......


Not anthrax-just ranch dressing!:rolleyes:

And do you have Temptations over there?

03-20-2004, 05:46 AM
Temptations? Aren't they from MoTown?? Anyone like smoked oysters? New Aulins chickory coffee?

I'll send Catnapper's hubby his Fish and Chips - sorry not from Scotland - but from the best place - the north of England!!

Did I hear Dill Pickles - oh I'm drooling here - I still have beautiful dreams of the ones Naomie sent - and we still don't get them here either.

Good idea Richard.

Lynne

Nomilynn

How about everyone make their wish list of what they would like and we all could send to different people? We would have to make sure no one got left out, though.

Felicia's Mom
03-20-2004, 10:01 PM
Where do we send our wish list? What is the limit (both in price and size)? Does it have to be made here?

Richard, I specifically put anthrax on my wish list. Can you please label both white powders separately? ;)

Your offer of ranch is gratefully accepted :) We don't have Temptations here, whatever they may be! Is there anything on your wish list from Oz?

I'm sending some Vegemite and other treats to PJ's Mom :)

03-22-2004, 12:00 AM
Richard and I are both from California - so ask away! Is there anything specifically from Southern California that you are just dying to have? We will try our darndest - but it is a little difficult to ship movie stars - you can understand how difficult they can be!

I am up for any exchange - it should be a lot of fun.

Miss Meow is shipping Vegemite over here......oh no!!

Barbara,

I am willing to trade some Temptations for some
vitamin paste!

Interested?
---------------------------

Anyone from Tennessee??

------------------------

Felicia's Mom,

I am sorry about the confusion...I wanted to start this out as a chain letter but...........

I think that the best way to do this is post something that you like, want to share or think that you would like to have sent to you....

I know that certain requests can't be filled because of locale, weight, or availibility...
But there are some things- chips, small canned foods, small food items that can shipped without fear of breakage, spoiling, etc....not everyone's wish will be filled and not everyone's offer will be taken up.

But I think if we all keep posting and looking at what there is to be offered, we can make this work!

It will just take some time, effort and a little work on everyone's part!!!


I think about 15-20 bucks should just about do it.
and a 2-3 pound limit (1-1.5 kilos) should be fine.

Corinna
03-23-2004, 04:40 PM
fresh loaf of course

RICHARD
03-23-2004, 05:13 PM

Bartering....

Miss Meow wanted to send me some chocolate in exchange for her treats.....

I am willing to have my chocolate sent to PJ's mom
along with the Vegemite, So if PJ's mom wants to post something she has or is willing to send someone we can move along......

Thanks Willie! I have only bought it at the resteraunts in Memphis and Nashville, but I'll keep my fingers crossed that it is at the grocery store!!!

Probablly the most local things I can offer are Tony Paco's Hot dog sauce, or pickles and peppers, Dietsch's chocolate, Ballerich's potato chips or some dog treats from the local bakery...

I can send some chips to Lynne again :D It won't be until a couple weeks though - I'm really REALLY busy for the next little while.

I do have a problem though.. I can't think of anything I would like :confused: Anyone have any suggestions about a signature item from their areas? I don't like spicy, I like chocolates, I LOVE tea and hot chocolate, so there's a couple ideas :)

I am the world's biggest chilli-head (no comments, Richard ;)). Can we do a swap? :)

If you like chili, there's a company out here that makes a "kit" called "Ass Kickin' Chili Fixins" It's got all the seasonings n stuff in a nifty little pouch. DAMN good chili! hehe I'd be totally willing to do a swap... I'm trying to think what my aussie friend's mom used to make that I loved and I'm drawing a blank. I've got a bit of a sweet tooth... any suggestions? :)

lbaker
03-24-2004, 02:43 PM
OH MY, HOORAY I just thought of something rather local that would be perfect for anyone that likes home-made caramels!! Valati's Caramels come in vanilla or chocolate, with or without nuts, chewy or hard (the hard aren't really hard, they sort of crumble in your mouth and are a personal favorite of mine). They also come in a mixed box, a bit of everything. Oh joy, oh rapture... just the very thought makes my eyes glaze over ;)

Heinz57......I would love some prickly pear jelly! And if you've got a sweet tooth, how would you like some freshly made citrus candy? It is so good! We need to have someone make a list of our names and what we have to offer. It's too hard to remember who has what:p Who would be willing to take up that task? I could do it Friday night if everyone wants to pm me with what they have to offer. And, some maple candy sounds good as well.

I agree with dukedogsmom that we should have lists. Both of what we want and what everyone has in their area.

I've been wracking my brain, and all I can come up with is the following:
*Zerbee's burnt potato chips (I am not a chip kinda gal but LOVE these.)
*Dieffendorf's potato chips (my hubby's friends in South Carolina devour these.)
*Unique pretzels (these are very yummy hard pretzels and come in all sorts of different flavors and the traitional flavor)


I'd love to send an authentic Philly cheese steak but they wouldn't ship too well;)

OK, here goes.... I would love some realllllly good, somewhat unique B-B-Q sauce (meaning not your garden variety chain grocery store stuff you see) now that it's gittin to be spring and cookout season. I have amazing caramels to pass along. Heinz57_79 - you like caramels, have you anything to trade with someone that could get me some BBQ sauce? Or is this not the way it's going to work :confused: I'm confuzzled....

Laurie,

There is a very unique BBQ chain in Texas (and 2 in NM). They sell sauce and I'd be happy to get you some if you're interested.

Check out their website http://www.rudys.com/index.html

It is quite an experience to go there - and its something I can't explain. You'd have to be there :D

lbaker
03-25-2004, 01:29 PM
Aly that sounds wonderful!! Now what would you like? If I can't get it maybe I can trade caramels for something for you. Whatever, it's a great excuse for me to send a little surprise for Lolly and Reese ;)

Lynne - pickly chips in exchange for chocolate sounds heavenly! I like milk chocolate, with or without caramel and/or with or without almonds. But it has to be milk! ;)

Nicole - Sounds like a deal! My dad loved the licorice :) I can't wait to be able to send him more. Prepare for pickleness! ;)

Do you want to sample any other flavours? Want to try ketchup? Salt and Vinegar? Let me know!! :D

Amy - I'll send you some chippies if you can send me apple beer :p That is, if you can devise a way to get it here in one peice!!! hehehe :)

I haven't posted for a while, but I am still interested. I want to send a food product common here, but not in other parts of the country/world. That is hard to do because I have always lived here.

On Saturday I plan to look for jams, candies and other items. I will post them when I get home.

I could send a box of cereal.

Would any non-US P-talkers like some Cracker Jacks? Not very fancy but if you don't have them in your country I could send some. I happen to love them (the toy in the box is fun too) ;) Light weight, easy to send, not expensive and YUMMY! hmmmm, do they still make Screaming Yellow Zonkers :confused: similar to Cracker Jacks but the box was more fun :p

Gp girl it has kind gotten alittle confusing to me too, but If you post what you would like hopefully some one will post you back. I'm still waiting to hear about good old fashion klondike sourdough loaf of bread or california style the round really sour kind. I have huckleberry jam or such to send . these are the little blue wild ones not the red ones.


Too bad you can't mail a Maid rite from Iowa:D have fanily in Traier and Beemon

I'd like some more nummy chips. What other good junk food is unique to Canada?

Just wondering, I like apple wine but haven't seen any before. LOL, I had to make this myself!

I can send kolaches, fresh from our Czech bakery.

Also jams and spreads including:
strawberry
strawberry/rhubarb
raspberry
gooseberry

Horseradish

(there is more but I am at work and the list is home).

I was going to a Maid Rite last Saturday. Instead I went to see about the kolaches.


As far as what I would like to try:
1. Cheddar cheese from England. or any cheese that ships well.
2 powdered coffee/cocoa mix.

Packages to be sent out this friday..:)

Guster,

Corrina,

Let me look around for some Cali sour dough....we do have some down here........I thought you were interested in the San Fran kind only!

Give me a day!

Amy - probably glass would be safer. Last time you sent me Diet Mtn Dew and it was in a plastic bottle.

I don't know what else I could send you.. hmm.... I will have to think about that and let you know. Do you like Iced Tea? I could send you some really yummy mix that tastes NOTHING like cold regular tea :p It's really sweet and more like juice. Mmm... yummers. What about chocolate stuff? I could send you some Murchies hot chocolate.

Gini, they are YOURS! I'll send them on Monday. I can still send some junk food (Twinkies? CrackerJacks? Screaming Yellow Zonkers?) to those on the "other side of the pond" if anyone wants any. I still could use some, uh.. anything that anyone wants to send :rolleyes: Some special treats for the House of Orange will be included in the package Gini, so don't let the qats open it first :p

Oh I didn't even see this! I would be happy to send you some yummy stuff from Murchies up here. It's great coffees and cocoa - I sent some mocha coffee to Zippy and she loved it!

What kind of flavours do you like? Do you like strong, mild, dark, etc? Let me know :)

What are kolaches? I keep thinking of golashes (sp?) like those big rubber gumboots :o

Nomilynn:

I like mocha coffee. Actually I like them all, as long as it can be made by putting some in a cup and adding hot water.
International Coffees and some made by Foldgers are sold around here.

Kolaches are a pastrey, a round bun. The top center is indented, and filled with a jamlike substance.


I wanted something that wasn't common everywhere. They are made in our Czech Bakery. The Czech spelling is kolace.

04-05-2004, 06:55 PM
I'm not sure what everyone may want from Florida. Let me know if you're interested in something. I'm from here, so I don't always think of things only we have.

Valerie's idea of Citrus candy is good..I might have to come visit you and get some. :) Or have you bring some at the next meeting. :)

I can send citrus, salt water taffy(but I'm sure there's other places to get it), and there's bunch of stuff at the shops near the beach. I can't think of them all! I'll have to go Friday and make a list. :)

Also, I know this is food related, but if someone thinks of something they want from Florida (Tampa Bay/Clearwater area specifically) that's not food related just PM me. :)

Karen, is there anything you would like to have? (again, I can let you know of more stuff this weekend). That Maple candy and caramel sounds SOOOO good!! :)

Miss Meow and Barbara,

I set my boxes aside to do the final taping/sealing....

I came back to find them open and the contents strewn about the floor.

I thought it would be tacky to send out cat food packets with teeth marks and holes in them......


One of you MAY end up with a white cat stuffed into their box......ignore him.....just put him outside and close the door, O.K.??:rolleyes:

I keep checking, the maple sugar candy hasn't hit the stores quite yet, but when it does, I'll compile a list and mail stuff out!

Blustang - my mother-in-law once mailed an alligator home to her kid brother from Florida - they probably don't allow THAT any more, huh?

Actually I try to keep my distance from them...too many of them and too little of me! lol Just let me know if there's anything you can think of.

Unfortunately I didn't make it to clearwater today, but I am tomorrow. I got caught up with a new kitty.

FRITO FEET...

Fritos come in three mouth watering flavors-
Lime and chili, regular and nacho cheese.....


Let me know!

She said "bring me back a gator" (name of the FL team) sure as sh#@ he brought back a 7 inch alligator and it lived in the dorm :eek: Gini, did you get your package today?

It had a tube of vitamin paste, a package of mint cat treats and another package of heart shaped cat treats....

I opened the heart treats and gave a few to the Edster...He loved them! That was the only thing I opened.....I went next door to show my mom what Edward was sent and she kept asking me what the treats were.....

I finally had to admit to her that I didn't know....I only know some words German!!

Thank you to Filou, Tigris and Barbara for everything, Especially the card!!:D

I don't know if people are still active in this thread, but I live in Japan and can get all sorts of interesting drinks and candies. I happen to LOVE pocky and toppo- Pocky is like a little light pretzel stick dipped in chocolate or maple or strawberry flavored stuff and Toppo is the same pretzel type thing, except the flavoring is in the middle. I think Toppo also comes in hazelnut, but I'm not sure.. Authentic Japanese sushi wouldn't ship well, would it :rolleyes: If there is anything anyone wants to try let me know and I'll try my best:) Would it be a good idea to start this over in a new thread? this one is soooo long.

oh yeah, I know that the Seiyu (walmart owned store over here) has lots of different types of cat treats, but all of the lettering is in Kanji,so I can't make heads or tails of what is actually IN the treats. Anyone feeling lucky and want to try:D

I opened the heart treats and gave a few to the Edster...He loved them! That was the only thing I opened.....I went next door to show my mom what Edward was sent and she kept asking me what the treats were.....

I finally had to admit to her that I didn't know....I only know some words German!!




The heart treats have salmon in them. They are Filou's favorites. The cat mint treats are good for playing alos because they are little round balls. The vitamin paste is something most cats here are crazy about. If F+T get it they look as if they were drinking from a bottle with Tigris having the double lick frequency:D

I am now waiting for Eddie to arrive here! I have 2 nawtee boys, so I can easily deal with a third:D

After careful consideration, I have to say NO! to your request of Sadie (and the other two aren't options either!)

About three weeks ago!!

Edward, the fat pig, will probably eat the box, the postman and anything he can get his hands on.

Thanks Corrina!!

He's on a round-the-world ticket so we can have a little Eddie share thing going. The only downside is that we won't have Richard's wonderful stories for a few months ;)

I am sorry I have not replied sooner......

It's been a goofy week and a half!

CORRINA!

OH MY GOD.

I have been dragging my feet about sending you just 'bread' - Now I must out-do your package..

I received some jam, some soap and the cutest bear on a leash!!!

The jam I understood, the soap, I needed (God do I smell THAT bad???) The bear made me laugh....I had a close encounter with a bear a few years ago that left me pretty shaken for a week afterwards....

Your generousity is overwhelming....

What I need to know is if you own a bread maker or make your own hand made bread????

----------------------------------

P.S.

The "terrorist" packages are on their way once again.....

I sent Miss Meow and Barbara their packages.... a package of MM's ranch dressing sprung a leak......

They were went back and I re wrapped them and they are on their way!!!!

Please excuse me being three months late, but ...

Blustang24, I can send you a package with some the stuff you mentioned if you want to send me your address.

Dukedogsmom - Do you really like Irn Bru? I can probably find some in plastic bottles that would ship better than a can, if you want to give me your address.

dukedogsmom
06-29-2004, 07:17 AM
I love Irn Bru! I would really appreciate that. What would you like in return? The citrus candy is wonderful and it's freshly made every day. That will give me a good excuse to go there. They have samples out all of the time. If you're interested, I can tell you what all flavors they have.

Killearn Kitties

Barbara
06-29-2004, 07:48 AM
Richard, after I came back from the US, your package was here (I tried to wrap this information into my last haiku but it looks as if it didn't come over:( ).

The boys are so happy. They want Temptations not just as a snack but for regular dinner:)

Thanks for the hot sauce as well. This will help me to spit fire from time to time:D

dukedogsmom
06-29-2004, 08:46 AM
There's all kinds of flavors. They don't have a website. I was going to have you go look. I'll name a few and get a brochure on my days off. Key Lime is one of my favorites. There's orange with pecans on top, tangerine, honey bell tangelo(have a tree in back yard of that one) pink grapefruit. All those listed are the jelled kind. There are also s ome candies that are hard but kind of creamy. Peppermint(very good) lime, something with pretzels in it. There's also chocolate covered orange peel. It's to die for. And there's regular candied orange peel. Maybe I'll just send you a sampler. But, tell me your favorites because I can't get them all for you :p

I forgot about this thread! I know I really wanted to try some maple candy, but at the time it wasn't in season (I think). But if that is floating around somewhere I would LOVE to try it.

Karen
08-25-2004, 10:31 PM
I never did send out the maple candy, my apologies to everyone. It was a weird spring, and my "soyrce" didn't have any, and then neither did the replacement "source" - but I'm GONNA find and send some out. I have another recently-located potential source ...
