Yer on.

But please mail it right away and make sure to wrap it in several layers of sealed plastic bags cuz those things tend to stink.

We generally don't get many authentic Scottish "wee heavys" here in the States.

McEwan's Scotch Ale and Traquair Jacobite are probably the best examples available here. Belhaven's Wee Heavy is also good, as is Orkney Brewery's Skullsplitter though that one's a bit sweeter.

I think they have all these beers at The Map Room.

kurtichkolatch.

even hungarian immigrants are like wha?

basically it's a huge hollow loaf of fluffy bread dipped in liquid sugar, kind of like a giant glazed donut. you eat it at the pool like a funnel cake

You can buy those at many of the grocery stores in Chicago (which is totally in the US).

I have heard this, but where?

I put in spoonful of Marmite in almost every stock based soup I make. Just gives it a richer flavor that no one can put their finger on.

Bullshit. Just because it isn't at Starbucks doesn't mean you can't get it anywhere in the entire United States.

That said, if anyone can tell me where to get decent mushy peas in the United States, I (mostly my girlfriend) would appreciate it greatly.

hahahaha! Damn, I used to get these in Australia when I was a little kid.

The toys inside where always 100x better than what you get in a happy meal.

I haven't thought about those things in years.


Edit: Why the fuck does it say spammer above my avatar? Is this an upgrade from the honoring of my being a "complete piece of shit" earlier in my post numbers?

Bread.

Seriously, if there's one thing America can't do, it's bread.

America, your bread is horrible. Please fix.

Other than that, a specific product that I haven't seen in the US is the delicious German cookie Choco-Leibniz. This is the best cookie ever.

I can get Durian in Chinatown.

I love that stuff.

Kinder Eggs are sold in the Italian deli by my house.

You know what I miss from Hong Kong? Real tea eggs.
