Wait, Haggis is illegal to consume/serve in the US or just illegal to import? I've had it in Canada (tasty as hell and not really weird at all).

Illegal to import. Unsurprisingly US made haggis is usually terribad.

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

why not just buy these

it's the same stuff.

Ughh, I miss these so much. We have them here to, but in Communist Canada they only come in ones and they're like $2 each. Fuck that, I want the 16 large bars

I miss these so much. They're from Kuwait, not sure if other Arab countries have them too. Shit is like heart attack in a bag.

Wish they'd bring it back. I contacted them about it and they said it's only available in very specific regions. Not sure which ones though.

i grew up in the UK (moved to australia at 8yrs) and the thing i miss most are all the crisps - skips and pickled onion monster munch especially. luckily i can buy them online occasionally but the prices are extortionate haha.

 

[block tower]

im Chicago born and raised, but my mother lives in Pittsburgh, PA and there's a restaurant in the Strip District called Permanties and they're sandwiches are amazing. i can only get their sandwiches when i visit her in Pittsburgh, they're soooooo good. i count this as a snack lol.

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

Re: smarties. Whatever happened to that Smarties chocolate bar? Discontinued or Communist Canada strikes again? It was glorious.

Looks like this place, check it out in Chicago: Lucky's Sandwich Company

 

[zorlaczerohero]

Can't get these here in Australia. Which is an oversight as they love their salty yeast based spreads as much as we from the UK do.

MY MAN! this looks like a great copycat, will definitely check Lucky's out when i get back to Chicago, currently in NJ.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

They're like Starburst, but better.

 

[vivftp]

Cadbury Dream Egg!

We had them in Toronto once, and I tried it exactly once. Was soooooo good!

THEN THE BASTARDS TOOK IT AWAY!

Appears the only place to get it is Australia

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

We have LiveWire here in Oregon. Apparently it is regional.

Never here in Alabama anymore,
my favorite so that sucks.

 

[Wubby]

One thing I really can't get here in Japan that I miss is proper American bacon.



The bacon they sell here is all processed and precooked and can be eaten straight from the package. Tastes more like ham than bacon.

 

[Avixph]

Nothing else even comes close.

You could buy this in the US.

 

[Qvoth]

This god-tierness right here. It's a snack in the Philippines. I haven't found a store in the UK that carries it, although I'm sure it's here somewhere...

Chips/crisps/whatever the fuck you call them, pale in comparison. There is no highly-processed salty snack on Erf that delivers the savouryness of Boy Bawang.

It's like eating a bag of toasted crunchy garlic cloves. 8 years of withdrawal... fuck I'm getting the garlic shakes again.

i've had this, can't remember if it's the same brand though, pretty good

 

[envi123]

Another Filipino snack that's god-tier.

 

[Tizoc]

it's the same stuff.

She/He wants the toy inside.

We still got both Kinder Surprise and that sold over here. Guess it's not sold where they live due to the toys being a hazard.

I can get them, but it's truly saddening that America

doesn't even know what these amazingly flavoured chips are.

Wait really? We got these sold over here but they're imports so cost like...3 times the price of a regular big bag of chips.

Top tier Kinder product not mentioned so far:

Hmm I feel like I've seen this hazelnut flavour being sold here but I could be mixing it up with the regular one...

Didn't even know these existed until a few days ago..

What's premium about them?

 

[pants]

What kind of meat is typically used for this?
.

Typically? : Beef or Game. You also get lanc ass stuff like Ostrich and Kudu biltong, the game stuff is out of this world.

 

[KiDdYoNe]

Every damn thing in this thread. I'm pretty sure a lot of stuff is delicious as hell. Two days ago i ate my first pack of Doritos, new chain started to import them. I was happy. You may congratulate me.

It's allright with snacks, because i never tried most of it. But not seeing Vanila Coca Cola and the things that was here back in 90's is kinda sad.

Top tier Kinder product not mentioned so far:

Never actually tried these, but we have em now so yeah, need to get these bad boys.

 

[Inukage]

Not really region locked but limited edition....

Same with these:

 

[a posh hammer]

A caffeinated tea drink for those long party nights/days, unfortunately I haven't seen it outside Berlin. Some guy was importing to Melbourne a while ago but I'm not sure what happened.

I'm lucky there's a peruvian restaurant in my town with a little store where I can buy Inca Cola & other stuff. My grandma sends me habas fritas & homemade alfajores twice a year.

 

[Qvoth]

chicharon are good too

Lucuma ice cream, guaraná and alfajores are NOT exclusive to Perú. We have them here in Chile, too! And they are in Argentina, Uruguay, Brasil, etc. As well

OMG Bafak!!

I used to have it all the time in kuwait! Along with banana flavored KDD milk.

 

[Polari]

These things are amazing. They've only been on the market in the UK for a year or so, but they're already my favourite sweet.

The bacon they sell here is all processed and precooked and can be eaten straight from the package. Tastes more like ham than bacon.

But anyway...your best bet may be to try to make your own. Pork belly (butabara) is easy to get in Japan, and there are tons of recipes online for homemade bacon. Make dry cured bacon and make sure it's not too lean, for maximum crispiness after cooking.

Otherwise, try looking in department store food halls for locally produced (well in the Tokyo-Yokohama area the best cured meats seem to come from Kamakura, which is local enough) artisanal bacon. You won't find your familiar American brands, and the best bacon I have seen is sort of like German speck - it comes in chunks or is thick cut - but it tastes good and you can cut a chunk of it as thin as you like for maximum crispiness.

there you go

 

[jambo]

Drank this all the time in Australia. Why the hell won't Coca Cola bring this to the US?

Nectar of the gods.

Might get some at the shops after work.

 

[mrkgoo]

Oh man I want some of those peanut butter pretzels you can get in the bulk buy bins at the supermarket in US of A.

 

[Amon37]

And on a related note,

Dr.Pepper syrup! Fuck I love me some Dr. Pepper must find this.

That's because you're vague.

Hold on... America doesn't get all dressed?

I am so sorry for you guys D:

As someone who has eaten countless kinder eggs when I was younger, they're not really that good in my opinion. We have them available everywhere in Denmark, but no one really eats them besides kids. It's not really good chocolate

 

[Lord of Castamere]

[DiipuSurotu]

is this like those gushers candies we get here? Obviously this probably has different consistency but gushers are basically gum arabic and fruit syrup inside

We don't have Fruit Gushers over here so... I don't know.

Nectar of the gods.

I far prefer

... which, true to the thread, you can't get in New Zealand. I gulp the stuff down every chance I get when I'm in Australia, though.

Otherwise, I'm a big fan of cinammon flavoured things - a flavour fascination my countrymen don't share, it seems, as there's nothing like it available here. So yeah, trips to the US usually include a grocery shop (last time I bought back a 50lb carton of groceries ^_^)

 

[mclem]

What kind of meat is typically used for this?

Most usually beef. It's basically beef jerky, but very very good beef jerky.

Steak jerky.

 

[mclem]

I have very fond memories of Kinder Eggs. Thank you thread, I have never known the actual name of the product.

The formal name is actually Kinder Surprise. That's irrelevant; everyone calls them Kinder Eggs.

and I used to always get the extra large one for Easter each year

just look at the size of that

I prefer Lift to regular Solo, but lemon/lime Solo trumps both.

Have you checked well stocked asian supermarkets? I've seen it in a couple of places in Dublin (f.e. Asia Market) and where I now live (Scandinavia). Of course things can be local but I find the brands and such in those store quite uniform throughout Europe.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Hey they have those in Little Tokyo here in LA, I personally am not a fan.

As for me:



Can't even import these babies. ;~;

Easily this. I miss these so much.

Lemon Soda (Italian import). Not sold in my region of the States.

Well it is rather annoying that IKEA in the UK stopped selling Marabou chocolate. Oh well, going back to Sweden this week so I'll just buy a few bars while I'm there.

I don't eat much chocolate these days and I'm trying to cut back on me biscuits. But as long as I can at least get Bourbons and Custard Creams I'll be fine.

Baja Blast

Yeah, I know it's Dew+Powerade, but I'm lazy.

We have Lucky Charms in some importation stores here but it's like $10 the box.

And I can get some Dr Pepper around here for 1€ each, so not too bad. A bit expensive though, wish they brought it officially.

(Spanish here)

What's premium about them?

Dunno... the size maybe?
