What's some goodies you like that aren't American in origin?

I'm a fiend for Hobnobs and Jaffa Cakes. I actually like the Polish Orange Delicje brand (which is actually a Kraft subsidiary) as much if not more than the Mcvities Jaffa cakes if for no other reason than I get them for $1.09 a pack rather than $3.49 they charge for the originals...(More Polskis than Brits in Chicago)

Hi-Chew from Japan, the tropical flavors are dynamite righteous.

Ritter Sport w/ whole hazelnuts (Germany)is good, though a little more common here...

What are some of your favs?
 
My grand niece has a favorite:

Love Jaffas, get them at Aldi.
Lindt chocolate, Greek olive oil and feta, a good Italian salami, proscuitto and parm, authentic emmentaler for starters.
Oh, and why can't I find authentic Esrom online?
 
Pulparindo mango flavor candy from Mexico. Sweet and spicy, it's just right.

Aldi has some amazing German chocolates, I've been trying different kinds and they are all great but I can't remember the names.

I also love Greek Baklavas.

For American made(I know not imported) I'm going with chocolate chip cookies.

Love Ritters and went to their store in Germany. Lots of candy bars were brought home.

I am actually a fan of the extremely spicy ramon noodles from just about anywhere in Asia.
 
Cinghiale, Italian wild boar sausage. Unfortunately the only place I've been able to find it here is online at $45/lb.
 
Dutch/Danish salt licorice. Haribo selection, very slim here in the US mostly Gummy Bears. German Gingerbread (lebkuchen).
 
Cigars :thumbs: and Grand Marnier :mrgreen: ............

Canada has some great candy bars. The "Wunderbar" is especially good.

Having been a fan almost exclusively in the past to Cohiba, I got my hands on and I'm partial now to the Bolivar No.1's ( Habanos S.A.)...

I'm a fan of all tobacco products really... Am a pack a day'er, did Skoal Mint in my yoot, snuff just to be silly, snus, not really took, cigars, and I've a small but respectable pipe collection

I've been on a run now with Cubans, it's all I've smoked cigar wise exclusively for a little over a year now...(about 3 box worth of several varieties...)

I know what you mean about that cigar mouth though, :lol: That's when I make sure to give the Wife a big morning kiss...:kissy:

I’m sure she appreciates that. Used to something called Rum River Crooks can’t find them anymore.
