International foods enjoyed by Americans

Post by MR.EMAN » Mon Jul 19, 2010 11:58 pm

In spirit of the US foods liked overseas, I thought I'd see what international (civvie or .mil)food products we enjoy here. I just did a trade with Norge, and he sent me some Norwegian rations and plenty of spreads and drink mixes. I really like the snack Lefse, and especially the Blackberry toddy's that come with the Norwegian rations. I'll start off with some (by no means exhaustive) things I like:

Kvass
Milka chocolate
Scotch (single malt) Whisky :mrgreen:
Walker's shortbread
Peek Freans Bourbon cremes
Big Turk candy bar
Roman Nougat
Ketchup, All Dressed, and Dill pickle chips
Vegemite
Spotted Dick/Treacle pudding

There is só much stuff you guys would love....

Dutch koffiehopjes (coffee sweets), kaneelkussentjes (cinnamon pillows), speculaas (spiced cookies),
Zeeuwse Spek (Dutch "Sealand" spiced and smoked bacon), roomboterbabbelaars (butterscotch candy without the butterscotch.. made of real butter), Snert (Dutch peasoup.. a bit stew like.. greatest wintermeal EVER, germans know it as erbseneintopf.. like in the EPa)

And só much more....
Sure, someone may one day kill me with my own gun.
But they'll have to beat me to death with it because it's empty.
