You can get mallomars in Virginia. I was under the impression that they no longer even made mallomars, being that they seem to have vanished from all the grocery shelves down here in Floridor.
Posted by Andrea Harris at January 3, 2003 10:53 PMYou're not living in the Jewish part of Florida, are you?
Mallomars. They're a ™ or a © or something. Brand.
I could mail you a box. Or you'd have to go to Miami--wait, the Jews all left Miami and went back to New York and New Jersey. Ah. That's why you can't get Mallomars anymore.
Posted by: Meryl Yourish at January 6, 2003 at 12:36 AMNo, there are still tons of Jews in Miami. But for some reason I could never find any mallomars on my (then) neighborhood's grocery shelves. Probably because by that time I lived in West Miami, which catered to the Cuban, Dominican, and Nicaraguan people in the area. I worked across the Intracoastal from Miami Beach, though -- yet I saw no mallomars. I think it's a conspiracy of everyone above the South Carolina state line.
Now I live in Central Florida, where there are so few Jews there might as well be no Jews. It sucks. Einstein Brothers Bagels are no substitute for a good deli, but I am in diner land now.

There are definitely Mallomars in New Orleans. And I'm sure you could find Mallomars where you are far more easily than I could here.
MUST...ESCAPE...TURNING INTO REDNECK...HELP! Nah, that'd never happen and, besides, how many Jewish Republicans are there back home in Boston, either? But deli I do miss, and being in a real city. ;-)
