My wife and I now have a list of a few things that we have to pick up during our travels because they're difficult to find here at home. I was curious to know what's on other people's lists:
What's on your list? |

I have actually seen Badoit for sale in the US. It was at the Major Market (supermarket) in Escondido, CA. Of course, since you're in Boston, France is probably closer.
Really? Small world, Major Mkt is my "local". They also carry Nutella. |

I'd go for crackers...
From the US: Ak-Mak crackers. Not too easy to find everywhere, but Wholefoods usually carry them. Not the easiest luggage to check, though!
From the UK: Cornish Wafers.Much more buttery, and thus somewhat softer than Cream Crackers. Only intermittently available in Norway. From Scotland (usually the newsstand at ABZ): Macaroons. (OK, not crackers, but still....) |
Ironing water (can get cheaply at supermarkets in UK and Germany)
Persil Ginger biscuits the latest books and magazines Night Nurse^ |

Orangina has similar taste (avail. in the US) and has less colorings.... give it a try. I also like the European Fanta.

Last trip from France, I brought home NIVEA hand cream...much thicker than what you get here. I also like the variety of different salts available in France. Fleur de sel are salt flakes, which I have never seen in the US. Of course I also brought about 12 bottles of various mustards from the Dijon area. They were flavors like cassis and terragon. Actually, I usually end up buying an additional suitcase to haul my food purchases home.:cool:

D&G Old Jamaica Ginger Beer from the UK (despite its name, its non Alcoholic). I always stock up, when am coming to the US. (A dash of vanilla flavoured vodka and ginger beer with loads of ice, always does the trick for me;))
Nabisco Nutter Butter Cookies from the US to the UK. |
when I go over to NJ,from England, I always load up half the case with chocolate biscuits, shortbread, tea bags,yorkie bars, and loads of cadburys chocolate. I bring back Advil in huge size bottles, Jolly ranchers, and sometimes cinamon gum, I must take some Nutella over next time, I think my friends will like it! cheapest place for Nutella. Belguim

Belize: Marie Sharp's Pepper Sauce (I load up on this stuff, 10-15 bottles a trip)
Barbados: Delish brand Bajan seasoning (homemade in a jar, sold in grocery stores), Banks beer, Roti's from Chefette's, local made pepper sauce Canada: Smarties (the real ones) & authentic poutine sauce and cheese curds (mmmmmmm) Honduras: Chicken finger dinner from Power Chicken with homemade sour honey mustard Switzerland/Germany: Hot mustard in a tube (Hengstenberg, etc.) |
