Entertaining a few VPs next week and was “advised” to have a few gift bags of local food items. Need some snack type ideas. Cant be anything refrigerated. So far we have Bakers chocolates and pipeline jerky. Any other ideas for a dog and pony show would be appreciated.
OT: need some food help

Does that include alcohol? Where are these folks from?
I'd throw in some Glacial Till hard cider.

If it's allowed, get them a gift card for $50 - 100 dollars or more for something unique to Omaha or Nebraska. Then when they get home they could order something they wanted, if it happens to be refrigerated they could get it.
Also, anything from Volcanic Peppers; out of Bellevue. They make amazing hot sauces and salsa.
Hyvee generally carries their line

Get you some "migrants" to shoot a few bald eagles and give them a treat they'll never forget. Bon appetit!
Don't forget Dorothy Lynch!! Although you can buy it at various Walmarts (but not all) that certainly is a Nebraska thing!!
I would assume there are local breweries that make local craft beer. If you are in Omaha I know Kinkaider Brewing Co (down by AkSarBen) has local beer (don't know how good it is as I don't drink beer) as well as their own local hard cider - which I had last fall and was pretty good. I don't know if their cans are available anywhere besides their bars.
Glacial Till is available at a lot of the grocery stores. I actually brought a few 6 packs home from Omaha.

Go down to that From Nebraska store in the Haymarket. They have a huge selection of Nebraska food items
