Things you can only get "over there".
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? |
Absinthe
PS: I know what you mean with the Badoit and know the site you reference. They are not an authorized reseller and their shipping prices are ridiculous. I once heard a story that Badoit isn't sold in the US because the French want it for themselves :) |
Five spiced pork cube in cans. Can't find them in the US or Canada.

Savoy Crackers - my Australian friends know to bring me boxes of these when they come to the UK for a visit.

Polo mints
|
Rivella - got hooked on it when I lived in Zurich. Also, Cadbury Flake. And, god help me, Vegemite.
(Yes, I know all of these are available with some searching in the US, but much easier to find overseas.) |
Pacharan from Spain
|
mangosteens
I bought the freeze dried ones at Trader Joes and it was a sad dried wannabee to my favorite tropical fruit
|
Iced tea from dairies in Pennsylvania, a certain kind of mascara in Mexico and Starburst in Europe (no gelatin).
|
|
I spent my entire week's trip in England trying to find Wispa bars. No luck - heck, most people had no idea what I was even talking about. Picking up a last minute bottle of soda just as I was making my way to the gate, the news stand at the airport had them!
I also completely forgot to try out Double Cream when I was over there. |
From the UK
Monster Munch Cadbury's Milky Buttons Flake |
