Seitenbacher Museli is delicious too.
But you can make a kick ass veg broth with scraps, dried shitake, and a piece of kombu.
And the Museli I can also make at home.
Preparing EU exit tariffs for the upcoming trade war with the US?
In that case, fancy wines that rich people buy.
I love that Smarties are naturally colored. All our candy is basically carcinogenic
European sardines are VASTLY superior to most of the stuff you get in the US
It’s not from Europe but I wouldn’t feel the same if I couldn’t get Pocky anymore.
Danish butter cookies are pretty awesome
Those tins never contain cookies when I see them.
German chocolate is like a whole other food than the wax that Hershey’s pretends is the real thing.
Try Belgian chocolate next
Soapy-tasting wax, at that.
Croissants (made here but I think of them as so French)
Good cheese (there is some great cheese being made here but in Europe they make different ones and they are so, so delicious)
Cava wine, the Raventos Blanco Blanco de Blancos Vino Cava holy crap that stuff is so good it convinced me wine can be simply delicious on its own.
W SAUCE
Cheese, cured and uncured dried meats, dairy…actual food standards that protect consumers and aren’t pumped full of antibiotics, they just taste so much better.
Most of it… Last trip I took to Europe, I was staying in an airB&B in Iceland with a few friends, and it had a kitchen. I went to the Bonus (local grocer) and got bread, cheese, eggs, and butter and made a simple fried egg sandwich for breakfast every day. Best damn food ive ever made for myself.
We dont have good cheap bread state side, cheese product is most of whats on the shelves and Euro eggs were just better. It took about a week after coming home for random food items to stop tasting like plastic…
Probably just the swiss chocolate in the Holls chocolates I get for some holidays. The bonbons/truffles themselves are made in Vienna…West Virginia.
Barry’s tea
cheese, all of them
wine and scotch
I’ve infiltrated the European place of purveyance to negotiate the vending of some cheesey comestibles!
Proper pickled onions and Branston pickle.
I can find alternatives with enough effort, but I love me some heavy peated Scotch. The smokier the flavor the better
