Leaving Maine is hard enough. But, when you think about leaving the FOOD here, things can go from hard to nearly impossible. Anyone who has tried to get a proper lobster roll in any other state, will understand. Considering a move from Vacationland? Don't do it before reminding yourself of the foods you'll be missing out on. Maybe you just want to know what food Maine is known for. Either way here are 10 of the foods Mainers miss most when they leave and they might be the hardest to live without!

1. Maine Sugar on Snow

This dessert is made by combining fresh snow with milk, then covered with a hearty serving of maple syrup. It might be the best sugar infusion you'll have all winter and the best ones are definitely in Maine!

2. Maine Brown Bread

There's only ONE way to make this perfect bread - steamed and in a can! If it doesn't have the outer rings of the can on it, you're not enjoying the real thing. Bonus points if the can is a B&M Baked Beans can!

3. Moxie!

You say you won't. You say you hate it. But, we know the truth. The minute you can't have it, you're going to miss the odd medicinal tasting soda that calls Maine its home.

4. Wild Maine Blueberry Pie

Any other variety is just "blueberry pie." If it's not made with wild Maine blueberries, it's just not the same. Mainer miss this even when they're IN Maine if it's not the right season for the fresh, juicy berries!

5. Maine Needhams

The delicious candy was first created in Portland in way back in 1872 by Reverend Needham. The secret ingredient? Maine potatoes! But, you'd never know it - the delicious chocolate and coconut is the only thing you taste.

6. The perfect lobster lunch

Only in Maine will you find this perfect mix of juicy lobster, plastic container butter and baked beans. Any other state just might serve them with the rubber bands on the claws. If that happens, come right back to Maine. We'll be waiting for you.

7. The Maine Whoopie Pie

Some might try to argue that it belongs to Pennsylvania, but we know where it REALLY comes from. The Maine whoopie pie is SO Maine, in fact, that it's our official state treat. Good luck finding a good one anywhere else.

8. Traditional Maine Corn Chowder

Made with fresh corn in the summer, this dish is actually very thick and comforting making it perfect for a cold Maine winter. The real ones are only made with in-season corn, so you may need to wait until summer.

9. Fiddleheads

These funny little side-dish worthy vegetables are often added to a meal after being found that day in the forest. They're best with garlic or even fried. If you see these on a menu outside Maine, you should ask where the chef is from. We bet they're a Mainer!

10. Maine Baked Beans

They might LOOK like Boston baked beans, but the Maine version is much less sweet.

11. The Maine Lobster Roll

If there's one thing about Maine's best loved foods that you should know, it's that you'll never find a good lobster roll anywhere else. In Maine, the meat is hearty, juicy and noticeably lacking the mayo filler found in lesser-versions!
