NBR but Cincinnati/OH related: Food gift ideas?

clevebride2006 · March 2011

We're heading over to Japan in a few months, and would like to bring some American/Cincinnati/OH food gifts to them. They have the "main" candy bars over there (Kit Kats, Snickers, etc.), so I'm looking more for Cincinnat/OHi-ish type foods (preferably portable and lightweight).

Any ideas would be helpful!

TIA!

ETA: Do you know where I can get Cinti Reds or Bengals t-shirts that are affordable?

Chocolates from Aglamesis Brothers, Montgomery Inn BBQ sauce, buckeyes, canned skyline [but for the life of me I can't figure out why anyone would want it ]

TJMaxx had a bunch of Reds stuff last week, but I didn't pay too much attention to the prices.

I like the suggestions Of pp, but may I suggest packets of skyline or gold star seasoning instead of the cans just because they are lighter and easier to transport. Also, Frischs tarter sauce, husmans chips, And I'm having a brain fart and can't remember the candy chew that it made here.

Grippos potato chips, busken cookies, graeters cookies (although I don't know how well cookies would travel to Japan)

I think Meijers has Reds/Bengals stuff that is reasonably priced (i.e. cheaper than the Pro Shops)

It's not food, but what about Bicycle playing cards? They are made here in Cincinnati.

Another idea for you - when I did study abroad in Germany when I was in college, I found a Cincinnati cookbook that I gave to my host family. There were a lot of pictures of Cincinnati in it so they were able to see where I was from, which they enjoyed. Maybe you could find something like that? Or some type of coffee table type book with pictures of Cincinnati/America?
