Re: Top 10 foods and beverages that Americans miss while abroad
The Foster's burgers are the closest thing to home. I love their teriyaki burger.
As for liking fake syrup, you're breaking my heart. My family has made syrup since I was a kid. It's expensive stuff, but it's worth it!
<p> I live in the land of corn, so popcorn is plentiful here. But they don't make it with that liquid fake butter (which is a-okay with me).
Chili fries are nasty! I prefer pizza here though, but mexican food is something I miss.
I'm wicked lucky, we have a Mexican restaurant just down the road and kitty-corner from that restaurant we have a Tex-Mex place.
The Mexican restaurant is like having a meal at a Mexican family's house. It can't get any more authentic. Sure, it's wicked expensive but it sure was worth it! Poor DH couldn't deal with the spices though.
When my sister and I came back from Europe I missed plentiful drinks (refills). Maybe it was all the walking we were doing but I was always so thirsty when we would stop to eat and the waiters seemed so stingy about refilling my water.
My sister was craving BBQ and green bean casserole when we came back. I have no idea why. But we made sure to get her some as soon as we got back
I agree with all of that except
1. Aussies make a darn good burger - I LOVE beet & egg on a burger now - oh and pineapple - Yummmmm
2. we can get that microwave popcorn - I but it all the time
3. pizza is pizza, lots of good choices in Oz
I agree with Mexican food, bagels, and proper burgers. We haven't had a problem finding ketchup, I don't drink a ton of root beer anyway, and I can live without Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
Missing from the list for me is proper butter and milk. I don't think the butter I've bought is really butter, I think it's some sort of butter/margarine mix. It definitely doesn't melt like butter. And milk. FFS, the milk here is awful.
ETA: And cheese. Sharp cheddar cheese. One of the import grocery stores has something that is pretty close, but it's hella expensive.
