Tasty snack foods you can't get at home
What are your favorite snack foods you associate with a particular place/country? I'm not talking main courses (not like paella in Spain) but the convenience store/bakery snacks that you make a beeline for whenever you're there.
For example, I always eat Turo Rudi -- chocolate covered cottage cheese bars that taste so much better than they sound -- in Hungary.
Also, I haven't been on Flyertalk too long, so let me know if this is a repeat or should be posted elsewhere

In Scotland, Lays has Roasted Chicken Potato chips. So delicious! I emailed the company when we got home. They don't sell them in USA, but they sent me four small bags as a gift. My boss at work had no idea how special they were and she ate one. LOL

Pineapple Lumps from New Zealand. A friend of mine introduced me a couple of years ago and I'm hooked.

Tyrell's Salty and Sweet Popcorn. Love that stuff. I am not a sweets person, but it's a nice treat while in Europe. I have found some in the US that is pretty close.
What I really want is some Schweppes Limon drink.

I like the Starbursts in the UK so much more than the US. I didn't like them on my first visit as a kid, but now I can't get enough of them to bring home.

I often find myself craving the tuna mayo onigiri from convenience stores in Japan. Does anyone know where you can find these in the US? I tried H-Mart, but no dice.

Mitsuwa Marketplace has scattered locations in the US, mostly in SoCal; other smaller one-off Japanese markets; and Hawai'i.
Though I thought I've seen them at Korean supermarkets in the NYC-area too.
