Sweet tea...and I never had it again once I left Georgia*

that you absolutely must have if you go back? Something local or done so differently/well in that location that you really miss it?
We’re going to leave Peoria at some point, and I can’t think of a single thing I will crave or miss. Pork tenderloins are fine, but I won’t miss them. And I don’t eat gondolas now (haven’t had one since kids stopped doing club sports and don’t miss it at all).
