sponge candy (a Buffalo thing)
Oh my gosh, I haven't had that in ages!!

I got used to them when I moved from South Carolina to Massachusetts and they were good. But now that I live in New Jersey where the "traditional" hot dog bun is all I see, I'm ok with it. In other words, I can live without them.
I liver here too== and i see these NE style everywhere.. sometimes it's all Wegmans has! Whole foods, Wegmans and Shoprite all have them
I didn't realize this was a thing. When I've seen that type of roll in the past it's always been with a Lobster/Crab Roll. I assumed that they were called a Lobster Roll.
I'm from the Midwest by the way which is probably why I didn't know it was more generic than just a seafood container. LOL
Are people out west familiar with these? I know my mom has trouble finding them in FL.. we are putting together an "East Coast" basket for my daughter's host family in CO.
We are going to put in some things that I know are just local, and this was my kid's only idea, but I don't want to put them in if they are everywhere.
(If you don't know.. they are just hot dog buns with no crust on the sides. They are also used for lobster and clam rolls.)
I'm open to other ideas if you are a west coast transplant and can think of things that are more readily available here in NY.
Thanks!
pryncess: Yes, it's really interesting what is regional. I had no idea these rolls were so rare until my mother starting bringing them home with her to FL. (I'll have to tell her to check Publix again.) We don't ever butter and toast them at home, but they are still worlds better then the fat, crusty ones. They are all over the place too.. it's not like it's just one unique brand. Nkereina: I don't think Tahou's and Schaller's sell their sauce.. is there another one you would recommend? Bill Grey's? Do you think that would be better then Dinosaur BBQ sauce? Why are we only known for gross food? The "garbage plate" is so famous here that the local baseball team changed their name for a day. Maybe I should bring a few NY apples to soften the junk? http://www.democratandchronicle.com...gs-change-name-honor-garbage-plate/450843001/
Wegmans for the win! Mt Laurel and. Cherry hill both have themSouth Jersey here....I'll have to look at Shoprite (which I rarely go to) and Acme.
I am totally shocked that these are called New England style hot dog buns lol. I have been seeing them in my local grocery store for the past couple years and I thought they were just kind of cheap and skimpy on the bun lol. They don't call them New England here but I forget what the label said. I have continued to buy the regular buns though, these didn't seem sturdy enough to hold the toppings!
I'm surprised Wegmans calls them "New England" since they are a NY based company and NY is not considered part of New England.

I really don't see a need for them either. If I want my hot dog on a slice of bread folded over, it's far cheaper to use the slice of bread.
