International GAGers: What are some snack foods from your country you would recommend an American to try?

[smahala1991]

I get paid Thursday and I plan on buying some international snack foods to try. The only thing is Kinder eggs cannot be imported in the US as they are illegal to have, and will not pass through customs. So, what do you recommend?

[Hollywood-Glam]

We have some good wafers

A classic vanilla taste

This one has a very sweet chocolate taste

https://www.bimo.co.ma/produits/images/tagger-i.jpg

This one is my favorite because it has chocolate, wafer and** caramel

https://www.bimo.co.ma/produits/images/wafer-i.jpg

We also have snacks with a great caramel taste
I like this one because of its rice crispies

This one is similar to Twix

We have good cookies as well

You can really taste the wheat in this one

Salty biscuits that go so well with cheddar cheese

https://www.bimo.co.ma/produits/images/solty-i.jpg

Speaking of salty, these are my favorite chips of all time. They don't have any chemical ingredients.

by the way how are you planning to get international sweets? Can you find most of them in the US stores or are you buying them online? :)

[smahala1991]

You can find some in stores. Like here you can find some Deutsche Shokolade at Aldi. And you can also get it online.

[FOOLibra]

Oh right, I totally forgot that there are also Aldi stores in the US haha ^.^

[smahala1991]

Yeah here they charge you 6 cents for a paper bag and a 25 cents for a cart

[FOOLibra]

Well bags always cost something but the cart lol? Actually you put a 1€ coin in there but get it back once you return it. Weird haha

[smahala1991]

Same here about the cart, you get your quarter ( 25 cent coin) back when the cart is returned

[fauchelevent]

- Jelly babies
- Sherbet fountains
- Maltesers
- Wine gums
- Double deckers
- Brighton rock
- Crunchie
- Aero

And my favourite is probably Yorkshire mixture, that's a mix of lots of different types of hard boiled sweets like strawberries and cream and humbugs :)

[Felinegirl]

(dutch) stroopwafels, hagelslag and cheese! and cut the cheese with a dutch cheeseknife (kaasschaaf) of course.

[smahala1991]

What are those anyway

[Felinegirl]

cookies, chocolate sprinkles for on bread and, well, cheese.

[smahala1991]

Oh stroopwaffles are cookies in Dutch

[Felinegirl]

they are a specific kind of cookies. I dont really know if there's a translation for the name. koekje is cookie in dutch.

[Felinegirl]

google translate doesn't have a translation anyways. google images gives a nice impression.

[smahala1991]

What are some good sweets in Netherlands?

[Felinegirl]

Licorice! (Dutch: drop) I love it, like many dutch people, but foreigners often dislike it.

[Felinegirl]

Also, kroket (a kind of meat) is typically dutch, although I haven't eaten them for a while because I'm a vegetarian.

Whittakers Creamy Milk

candyman.nz/.../whittakers-creamy-milk-block.jpg

[smahala1991]

Those look so good

[Applefan1]

They are all really really good.

[smahala1991]

We have some Cadbury stuff in the US but not a big brand here

[Applefan1]

Oh ok. I think there are websites where you can order New Zealand snack foods.

[smahala1991]

There are for Australia too

[Applefan1]

Oh ok. There are also other good foods here. A New Zealand burger place called "Burger Fuel" is looking at breaking into the US market. Their burgers and food are really like they look in the photos and all their food tastes so good.

Here is the menu
https://www.burgerfuel.com/nz/order

[smahala1991]

Looks very similar to Five Guys here in the USA

[Applefan1]

Yeah Burger Fuel is so good. Then if you are in Queenstown there is Fergburger.

When you go to Fergburger they bake their own buns and they are baked about 1 hour ago and your burger has only top quality ingredients.

[Applefan1]

Ferburger make their own buns and bake them.

[smahala1991]

I don't know if I'll ever be in Australia or New Zealand but still sounds good

[Applefan1]

Yes, Fergburger only has 1 shop because the own says he wants to keep it special. Some guys came over from Australia to eat there. In the one place they hire 80 staff. That is how popular the place is.

Marshmallow and jam sandwiched between two biscuits and dipped in chocolate. It's good.

[smahala1991]

Those look similar to Moon Pies here

[smahala1991]

Only moon pies don't have any jam

[Tarvold]

Thanks for MH!

[meatballs21]

[smahala1991]

We have ruffles here

[meatballs21]

You don't have All Dressed flavour!

[Facepalm]

Thats a really tough question cause thanks to the globalisation you can find a variation of any snack in any country.

If you want to get something unique I recommend Japanese snacks. The have rice cakes and other things that aren't popular in western countries.

[smahala1991]

I've tried pocky

[Facepalm]

I always wanted to try the weird flavoured kit kats lol

www.liberty-cove-house.com/.../mobile_kitkat.jpg

and I dont even know what those are but I want them T_T

www.supercutekawaii.com/.../IMG_5743-475x356.jpg

[smahala1991]

We have kit kats here too but just chocolate

[moosette134]

Not international but two of my best friends are. If you like spicy, try Pulpmarindos!!! They are my FAVORITE. Hello Panda's are also very good.

[SecretScout]

You can buy guns without problem but fucking hell... don't go near Kinder Eggs! They're dangerous!

[Facepalm]

American kids are kind but European kids are kinder

I am ready to be a dad xD

[smahala1991]

I know I don't understand that

[SecretScout]

@Facepalm I love me some dad jokes :)

[smahala1991]

Maybe one day Kinders will be allowed in the USA

[SecretScout]

You can have a modified Kinder fake...

[smahala1991]

I haven't seen them here

[SecretScout]

www.independent.co.uk/.../...-at-last-8539723.html

[smahala1991]

Come to think of it I've seen similar items here

[vishna]

I dunno if these count but Takis are great. I was born an American though.

[BiscuitesSwag]

Rom 😁
www.kandia-dulce.ro/.../ROM-Biscuiti.png

[smahala1991]

Those look yummy, similar to kit kats

[BiscuitesSwag]

They have a very different taste compared to kit kats due to the alcohol it has in them, and this is why a lot of people dislike them and I feel like an alien by liking them. 😢😂

[smahala1991]

Alcohol really?

[BiscuitesSwag]

I looked it up now, small amount of rum for taste. 😁

[smahala1991]

Well then they can't be sold to kids here in the US lol you have to be 21 to buy anything alcohol here

[BiscuitesSwag]

I feel sorry for you. 😢
Here these can be bought even by 5 years olds because no one bats an eyelash.

[smahala1991]

Do people get drunk off of them haha

[BiscuitesSwag]

I guess that after at least 30kg of them yeah, but otherwise it's impossible. 😂

[smahala1991]

How many kilograms are they

[BiscuitesSwag]

One is like 80gr (size as in the picture), so buying 30kg would cost too much to buy these chocolates for small amounts of rum.

[smahala1991]

So it would take a whole lot

[9mfeo]

Speculoos cookies (or spread).

[smahala1991]

Those sound good

[9mfeo]

Netherlands/Belgium.

[smahala1991]

What flavor are they

[9mfeo]

Ginger snap, kind of.

[CHARismatic110]

They sell that cookie butter here.

[9mfeo]

@CHARismatic110 what's cookie butter?

[CHARismatic110]

www.bonappetit.com/.../...uloos-cookie-butters.png

It's almost like peanut butter.

[trumpetplayerforlife]

Why are kinder eggs illegal

[smahala1991]

Due to them being considered a choking hazzard

[AzureGirl]

Try some pocky, it's good!

[AzureGirl]

Another thing I thought of is something called Ramune soda.

[AzureGirl]

Oh I forgot! I also tried something called Meltykiss I believe. It's like a tootsie roll but 100 times better!

There's also a website I found forever ago where you can find and purchase Japanese snacks. It's asianfoodgrocer. com

And now I'll stop with my random add ons >.< lol

[Betwyn]

Ketchup Chips

[smahala1991]

We have those here in the US

[Betwyn]

really? Are they new there? cause I remember Americans' not knowing what I was talking about a few years ago

[smahala1991]

It depends on the store but yes im sure I've seen them

[douride2]

We have Kinder eggs in Canada. Come on up

[Queen_KZ]

Gizzada

[Saletri]

[Spermdumster666]
