Foods... you can't get in your country that...

[Rot]

You'd ask a member to get for you

Example... I once got this for a friend in the USA:

I'm mostly interested in foreign junk food...and fast food. It's obvious that you cannot ship the one..

I find the country to country taste preference of things like candy, chips, pastries, soda to be interesting.

 

[Jibbajaba]

This is America. You can find anything here if you know where to look. I've seen that exact can of spotted dick in multiple grocery stores here.

I remember snickering about the "Spotted Dick" I saw in a World Market.

The shelves in those stores display the country of origin and I could've swore it said it was from the UK.

Now someone is going to tell me that Santa Claus doesn't exist or that Michael Jackson was really a black guy

This reminds, me....

I'm almost out of Marmite.

 

[BanishingFlatsAC]

I love Lionbars, but they are tough to find in world markets here.

"Tastes like sad sand"

LOL...that was a review for that stuff on Amazon...

So...is that like Vegemite? If so...gross, I've tried it and that stuff is just fucking foul.

*EDIT*
Turkish Delight is also the opposite of good...

 

[norton9478]

I've never had Vegemite, it is essentially the same. But Vegemite lovers say they taste different.

It certainly has an interesting taste. I'd best describe it as tasting like the traub of a 5 gallon batch of homebrew. Only salty and a bit more refined.

I rarely put it on anything. Occasionally, I will use it in a pinch (when I am out of beef bullion) to make gravy or make ground turkey taste more like ground hamburger.

Sometimes, I put it out as a joke and some people think that it is nuttella. A bit of a shock.

One of the best things I had when I visited Europe was Blood Orange Fanta. We only get the basic flavors in my area.

 

[Dragonlee]

Lucky we have a American based supermarket chain wholesalers Costco and I always get a treat from there.

Hahah I'm not trying to be a killjoy.

Last night I ate one of those Nestle Aero chocolate bars. I was pretty non-plussed. European Kit-Kat's are fucking amazing, though. I ate a shitload of those last year.

i've always wanted to try new york pizza and burgers,chicago style deep pan pizza,corn dogs and almost everything you see in man vs food.

 

[MySoberCompanion]

Don't like so much candies, pop or other junk food.
But in US or in Japan, I fill my travel bag with beef jerky.

It's great. Most europeans say it's like chewing a leather shoe, but probably it's the only think we miss.

I tried some home-made recipes, but are far distant from the expected result...

You're killing me, I've had most of those at one time or another and I love them. Cadbury Crunchie is literally my favorite candy bar.

I like how there's a registered symbol next to the logo like anyone was in danger of taking the name away from them.

 

[SudoShinji]

Not even out of the country, the north and west can't make sweet tea or BBQ correctly. I also haven't had good alligator since Louisiana.

Nestle Milky Bars & Cadbury Flakes are what I buy. The last Flakes I bought were Swiss made. Not bad but not as good as UK produced.

If I'm going to buy imported choc's, I want them from the proper region.

I'm just happy it's easy to find salt & vinegar chips now. It was probably the 80s when stores in my area stocked them.

Chicago deep dish is a mouthgasm, easily as good as it looks. Chicago style hot dogs are also tops. KC BBQ from KC, southern cheese grits, Texas BBQ, Southern BBQ...god, I'm hungry now...

You sir have excellent taste in food!


Also it's impossible to get a good Cuban sammich or grits up here.

 

[Cylotron]

I don't think I'd actually want someone to send these to me... but in Spain, churros come with chocolate dipping sauce or covered in a chocolate shell. Here in America, they are just plain. NO ONE here sells them with chocolate.

What the hell is wrong with America!?....

You may say "Spanish people just make churros differently"... but no. That's not the case. The people selling the chocolate churros in Spain are Mexican immigrants. So what gives?...

Eh?.....

 

[StevenK]

Confit de canard from France - I always bring a bag of these back if I go to the continent, though they weigh a ton.

I'm eternally disappointed by steak in the UK, our beef, especially from the supermarkets, is just the worst of any country I've eaten in. I could eat American or Argentinian steak straight out of the packet all day long.

German street food is the best I've had.

 

[ebinsugewa]

Spanish paella and orxata. You can get it but it's not the same in either case.

Japanese ramen.
