What foreign food aisle looks best?

Question

Here in the UK supermarkets often have a section dedicated to ethnic cuisine of exotic foreign lands. These help travellers find foods they're used to instead of bitching about our food. They also let us sample what you have to offer.

Here are two pictures of such foreign food aisles taken in Tesco. One show a Polish food section and the other an American food section. Remember, these are what each country considers essential to help it's citizens cope in the UK.

So which looks best?

I'm not saying that pic of the US aisle doesn't represent the true US diet for a lot of our population. Sugar and unnatural chemicals are well represented. But it's just as disgusting in the UK as it is in the US.

I quite often buy Lowicz raspberry cordial from the Polish aisle - tastes great, very concentrated (so you don't need much), very reasonably priced, and doesn't contain any additives.

Choosing the best foreign food aisle often depends on the culinary adventure you're seeking. The Polish food section is a treasure trove for those who love hearty and comforting flavors, offering items like pierogi and kielbasa, which remind me of cozy meals shared with friends. The American food section, on the other hand, is more about indulgent treats like mac and cheese or peanut butter, evoking nostalgia. Both aisles carry the essence of their respective cultures, inviting you to journey through taste. 🍽️

It appears the US section is more designed to help parents with fussy eaters to shut their brats up. Ell oh ell! Hopefully there’s a McDonald’s between the store and the hotel too.

Polish, I've bought plenty of that because it's better (and usually cheaper) that the British attempt

They both look terrible. I didn’t know the products on half of the American shelves.

I did learn about British Hobnobs on this site and saw them in our international aisle. My youngest son loves them, so a win.

''Essential'' for what? --> self poisoning? :) If this cultural exchange of foods gives us a better understanding of foreign cultures, then I will expect a few wars coming soon.

As an American, I have to say the Polish one looked better.

That Looks Good. That looks like an American shopping place. You guys have come a long ways when I went to London England? Your grocery stores was so small and it’s so tiny. It was like a 711

AviatorTom · Answer

I'm in the US, where most aisles are US aisles. I'll take the more interesting Polish aisle.

Ever since I first went to Warsaw I've been eating Kabanos on the regular.

Why are there hot dogs in a jar? What the hell? They don't even sell that here in the US. Hot dogs are sold refrigerated, frozen, or hot and ready to eat here.

The jack links jerky in the US pic is from Australia I'm pretty sure not the US
