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

I have heard this, but where?

Not all Jewels have them, but some do. I have gotten them at the Jewel that is at the corner of Foster and Pulaski. Im pretty sure Treasure Island sells them too.

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.

Oh those are everywhere here, one of my professors gave those out when we were studying leibniz.

good stroopwaffles

they can be found at northern european gas stations en masse, but the tiny, stale packages found stateside at expensive food boutiques are not the same.

The British/Commonwealth shit is all over the motherfucker. Shit is everywhere. There's a Yorkie, a Bounty, Crunchie, two cans of L&P, a week old jar of Vegemite, Coffee Crisp, on and on, so on and so forth, in my kitchen as I type. I'm two blocks away from about 500 metric tons of Milo. Saying you can't find that shit is like saying you can't find a McDonald's.

You were studying leibniz? What is leibniz? Not only the name of a cookie?

you totally can, but it's been sitting frozen in a container ship from Malaysia for the previous forty days and is goddamned MUSH by the time it reaches you.

i was in Malaysia for a month in 2006 and the fruit was amazing.

i hate durian fruit in any form, but rambutan and all that other stuff is phenomenal when fresh...it's almost worth enduring the inlaws just to get it.

Please correct me on this one...

I haven't seen any Victoria Bitter beer around but I'm sure some world markets might have it.


As for opium, I smoked it once and if that was shitty opium I'd love to try good opium.

Here in Detroit, Uncle Ray's makes both Ketchup and Dill Pickle flavored chips. I think they are distributed nationally.
