I see the Cafe du Monde brand of canned coffee/chicory (out of New Orleans) in my local Safeway. Not so unique, really.

Not sure how to translate this, but potato stix in mayonnaise flavor: I've never seen these in America, but only in Europe.

Lamb boullion cubes. Difficult to find stateside as well.

Again, the flavors make them unusual, but the products themselves -- potato stix and bullion -- aren't at all unusual items. And the beauty of free trade is that banana sauce is not so difficult to find in America if you live in a large city or shop on the Internet.

So I guess I'm not sure what the OP means by unusual.
