Most of you know I am a HUGE fan of local VT foodstuff. In case you have yet to discover some of them, I want to share a few of my favorite, always on hand, tasty delights.

So, here they are in no particular order.

1. Sonia’s Salsa ~ Made with tomatillos and  lemon (no vinegar) this tasty green stuff is not just for dunking tortilla chips; it’s great on sandwiches or mixed with black beans at breakfast. Mmmm.
2. Red Hen Olive Ciabatta ~ My all time favorite for dunking in premium extra virgin olive oil and freshly minced garlic. To die for. Equally good for toast and sandwiches.
3. Doe’s Leap Feta ~ So creamy and flavorful you can eat it plain. The best I’ve ever tasted. Period.
4. Cabot’s Clothbound Cheddar aged at Jasper Hill Farm ~  If you think you know your cheddar, taste this!
5. Switchback ~ What else? My number one thirst quencher. There’s a reason it’s the most popular beer on tap in the state of VT.
6. Lake Champlain Chocolates Dark Spicy Aztec ~  Organic, 55% Cocoa. Cayenne pepper with pumpkin seeds for a little crunch. My absolute favorite chocolate bar. One square a day keeps the bitching at bay!
7. Green Mountain Sunshine Vodka ~ Quadruple distilled with organic grain. Store it in the freezer and pour over ice with a fat wedge of lemon. Or mix with fresh squeezed grapefruit juice. Oh my………

And that, my friends, completes the list of VT foodstuff I would not like to be without. On a desert island or anywhere else. In fact, when my guy sees me getting a little edgy, he will produce one of the above he has stashed somewhere for just these moments and then all is right with the world. I’m pretty easy to please!

If you’ve indulged your tastebuds with any of the VT treats I’ve mentioned, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Or, please, introduce me to something new!

If you haven’t experienced some of the above, which one tempts you most?
