It doesn't sound like there are any unkosher food these days anymore beside for things that are forbidden for us to eat.

A wider variety of high quality cheeses. I think there may be better options in Israel, but here in the US it’s okaaaay but not great. I’m a BT and good cheese is what I miss the most.

Also better and a wider selection of prepared foods. I’d love to have more choices when I’m too tired to make from scratch.

Everything at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. Used to be kosher but not anymore, and there used to be stores everywhere. I think there are still a couple kosher shops in LA and Israel.

Okay this is a CY thing, but I miss Wacky Mac. I grew up on it and still crave it. There are no good CY alternatives.

DH thinks I’m nuts.

Kosher boba tea! It looks so good. I know there's a restaurant in NY that makes it, but I live OOT. I also know you can buy the tapioca pearls and make it yourself, but I'd rather just be able to buy it Very Happy

Also, everything at Starbucks (like maybe there could be a separate section for kosher pastries etc) and everything at Trader Joe’s.

I wish there was kosher takeout for the not kosher prices. McDonald's has fulls meals for like $10 and that barely buys any fleishig food at all

Sour patch kids

Starbursts

They have in Panama a ton of kosher stores. Where else are they?

I know it's garbage, but there's a whole fast food industry that's so affordable and accessible in the non kosher world and completely out of reach for people like me and quite honestly, I wish I could afford takeout regularly. I'd be a much better mother if I didn't have to make supper every night or shell out $100 for one night worth of takeout schnitzel and fries for my family

There used to be a lot in the city but then they became not kosher and/or closed down a lot of branches.
