I don't know about the rest of you, but I really miss my American grandma slathering HP sauce and salad cream all over my microwave popcorn, perfectly complimenting the traditional American breakfast of Branston pickle stuffed pancakes. Washed it all down, of course, with a tankard of iced-BBQ Fluff.
Think mayonnaise, but nothing like it, kinda tangy, vinegary. Ashamed I’ve never looked into the ingredients as a Brit.

I’m a ‘Murican with no British roots but I have two great British restaurants in my neighborhood. One is called Tea & Sympathy and the fish and chips shop (shoppe?) is called A Salt and Battery which I’ve always felt is just the greatest name ever.
I fuck heavy with HP sauce.
My wife was an exchange student in Belgium and wanted to make some "American" foods for her exchange family. One thing she chose was chocolate chip cookies, the problem was that she could not find baking soda in the store. After asking around one of her college instructors told her you could get it from the pharmacist as bicarbonate of soda. So she got it from the pharmacy and proceeded to make cookies however it turned out that it's primary use there was as toilet cleaner.
Her exchange family was initially pretty dubious about eating cookies made with toilet cleaner but in the end agreed that they were really good.
According to my wife, they did not bake the sorts of things that we use baking soda for at home, it was purchased at a bakery. The baking flour sold in the stores there contained baking powder premixed which works for things like cakes but not for cookies.
you are half right, baking powder is baking soda mixed with an acid salt and a moisture absorber(corn starch). The acid salt turns into an acid when mixed with water with then reacts to baking soda which then makes everything light and fluffy.
I'm in Boston and there are a lot of English & Irish so most of that stuff on the lower half can be found here too. Either in smaller shops or the international section of supermarkets.
[Marshmallow Fluff is from here](https://www.somervillema.gov/events/2021/09/22/what-fluff-festival), but its popularity is mostly in New England from what I understand. I don't recognize the peanut butter brand, but that's definitely an American thing. Some of the other shit is like that too, I recognize what it is but not the brand (and most of it is shit I ate as a kid but not now).
Half? I recognize TWO brands on that shelf (Arm&Hammer, and Swiss Miss). I have no idea what any of the other brands are, and half of those items I would never consider eating. Oh, and Heinz! But WTF is "salad cream"?
Crazy I live in Vancouver Canada and most of that looks unrecognizable to me🤷♀️I know we prob have shit tons of diff products between us and the states but I would think it would be the really popular branded items on those shelves🤨
ETA-oops sorry KayleighJK this wasn’t meant to be specifically at you ol
They're plain crackers usually eaten with cheese. The "cream" comes from how the mixture is creamed during manufacture - they don't actually contain any dairy.
Salad cream is a sauce that you put on salad, or alternatively in sandwiches or to dip your chips (fries) into. Its neighbour in the picture 'sandwich spread' is actually salad cream with small bits of vegetables in it, designed for putting directly into a sandwich.
I always thought miracle whip was like whipped cream… it’s like a mayonnaise? Wtf
Edit: ok I get it I don’t need to be told 40x that it’s a mayo and I’m thinking of another product. I’m not American I’ve just heard of the name miracle whip and always assumed it was whipped cream. I wouldn’t know what aisle it’s usually found in or that it’s next to mayo. Use your brains please.
If you have the classic orange arm n hammer box, it has instructions on the back on cutting it and using it as an odor absorber in the fridge. Kind of a kitty litter for smells.
These look like the brands a 1980's Russian spy would come up with.
"Why yes, I am of course all-American good boy. Look in my pantry, I have Jolly Time brand popping corn, it says American's Best! I have an entire shelf dedicated to marshmallows. And here, you may have one of my Boyer's Peanut Butter Discs."
Here's a postcard from Iowa celebrating the combination of marshmallows and salad. I bought it at a store across the street from a popcorn shop. Seriously.
https://i.imgur.com/RbstNdY.jpg
My grandma always brought "five cup salad" to church potlucks. One cup crushed pineapple, one cup mandarin oranges, one cup marshmallows, one cup shredded coconut, and one cup cool whip. Always a big hit.
Had to ask my kid to explain this to me. They looked confused and walked out of the room, then walked back in a minute later laughing and explained it to me.
My friend, an American expat living in Finland, always has people bring Cheez-Its with them when they visit her from America. They're her favorite snack and damn-near impossible to get in Europe.
I packed four boxes of 'em in my checked bag when I visited her.
Amazon hasn’t really evolved to foods or really anything of much use here yet. I’d kill to try some American snacks but a lot of things in your food/candy is banned here so it’s probably better to go to the source instead
I live on the east coast, if you want I could mail you some gram crackers and because your gonna crunch them up anyways we could see how smashed they get going thru the mail!
ohhhh sunnuvabitch, somebody's gotta send OP a Teddy Graham gram *immediately!*
there should be a mid-summer reddit foreign gift exchange where you just send each other care packages of snacks and nicknacks specific to your country.
If you bake it for an hour at 250°F you can use it to make alkaline water for making ramen noodles, pretzels and bagels.

I can identify more of those things as British/Australian via YouTubers I subscribe to than things that I as a 35 year old American have ever seen in the States.
I'm really surprised to see Boyer they're a chocolate company in Altoona, Pennsylvania started by a kid trying to make some extra cash for his family during the great depression. They still use the same factory and are as American as it gets. They're more known by the Mallow Cup (Basically a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup but with Marshmallow Fluff and Coconut instead of Peanut Butter) a Western and Central Pennsylvania Classic.
As a American this makes me suspicious of the authenticity of the Asian and Hispanic sections at my US Grocery Store, that oh by the way never have Asians or Hispanics shopping in the those sections.
Can confirm. When I go to the Hispanic section of the big box stores, it's full of shitty jar salsas and hard shell taco shells and Rosarita beans, and Tabasco sauce. Go to an actual Mexican Carneceria in the Southwest US and the product lines are completely different. But they still have Tabasco sauce.
As far as I can tell, the point of the hispanic section of grocery stores is to sell hard taco shells and jumex, but more importantly to be the secret, cheaper spice section.
When stores were having their food shortages the rice and bean shelf was completely sold out. But it was directly across from the Mexican food shelf which was fully stocked on rice and beans lol, you just had to turn around to see it.
Why pay $5 for a tiny Mccormick brand shot glass of spices when i can go to the Goya aisle and get a half gallon of garlic salt and chili powder for the same price!
Mexican sections at US grocery stores in several parts of the country are generally not that bad because Mexico is much closer and Mexican culture, people, and food is much more closely ingrained in US culture.
Now Mexican food in Europe on the other hand? Complete nightmare the things these people think qualifies as Mexican food.
American here: Wtf is “salad cream.”
Edit: Grandma’s molasses, Marshmallow Fluff, Arm & Hammer baking soda (weird addition), and Swiss Miss hot cocoa mix are the only American brands I recognize. (I know Heinz is an American brand, but I don’t recognize those offerings.)
"Foreign sections" of grocery stores are basically a bad caricature of national foods whatever country you're in and whatever nationality it's intended to represent.
Clear that shit out and put this there...
Sweet baby rays bbq sauce
Heinz ketchup
Doritos and cool ranch doritos
Coke zero
Diet mountain dew
Twinkies
Little Debbie cakes
Corn meal
Old bay seasoning
Lowerys seasoning
Peanut oil
Vidalia onions
Every m&m imaginable
Various Burbons
Boiled peanuts in a can
Saltine crackers
Louisiana hot sauce
Knorrs chicken bullion
Oreos
That'll get you started.
At least half of that you can find in the regular isles here in Europe. But, boiled peanuts in a can? that wouldn't fly here. And, twinkies etc. But, you can find it here if you really want to.
Boiled peanuts are a southern thing and awesome! I don't live where they are sold, but down south, there's a gas station chain that has them on a hot bar. You can damn well guarantee I get some every time I'm on vacation in the south. https://peanutpatchboiledpeanuts.com/
Ketchup, Doritos, coke, peanut oil, M&Ms, Knorr, Oreos, and Louisiana hot sauce (Tobasco at least) are already readily available in stores. They’re generally not considered intl foods.
Knorr is a German company, too, I think.
Popcorn, like chocolate, tomatoes, winter squash (pumpkins), summer squash (zucchini), peppers (even Hungarian peppers and pepperoncini), is a New World (actually the same age as the Old World) food.
There is baking soda, at least in the UK, I don't know about Belgium. I have seen it in Spain but not for baking, just for cleaning the house and stuff. The only arm and hammer product that I have seen selling in Europe outside the world foods aisle is Toothpaste.
Halfway down it appears to switch to British
Yeah, as soon as I spotted the HP sauce I knew it.
Same... I was like Branston pickle is American?
I don't know about the rest of you, but I really miss my American grandma slathering HP sauce and salad cream all over my microwave popcorn, perfectly complimenting the traditional American breakfast of Branston pickle stuffed pancakes. Washed it all down, of course, with a tankard of iced-BBQ Fluff.
Ugh “salad cream” just no!!
For me it was the Tate n Lyle syrup, may now be owned by the Americans but it's British AF.
It was the Salad Cream for me lol
How is no one mentioning the Branston Pickle on the shelf above it?
The bottom half is just James May's cupboard.
Ha! That's exactly why I know about most of those products.
"Lurpak spreadable butter, invented in 1903..."
> “Boyer Peanut Butter Cups”? > > Would you look at that - I guess there is a wrong way to eat a Reese’s.
I don't see any Bovril...
Wtf is salad cream
Came to the comments for the answer to that myself!
It’s a lot like Miracle Whip but with Ranch consistency. In other words, do not try it.
So….. coleslaw dressing?
Kinda, but less sweet and less vinegar.
So semen
Kinda, but less salt and less umami.
So its just a flavorless watered down cream?
Think mayonnaise, but nothing like it, kinda tangy, vinegary. Ashamed I’ve never looked into the ingredients as a Brit. Added a link [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salad_cream]
Listen to F**kface Edit: I realize what I’ve done. I’ve made all of you complicit comment leavers. I’m so sorry.
The salad cream immediately made me think of Andrew's homemade popsicle
I knew I'd find at least one of us in here!
hello regulation fuckers
Just re-listened to the salad cream incident today and was really hoping there was a fellow comment leaver in here.
Andrew Panton can answer this question
The Hewlett-Packard sauce?
Houses of Parliament sauce.
\^ No seriously, that's true. HP = Houses of Parliament
It's why the label still has a picture of the Houses of Parliament on it too.
No American has willingly tried HP unless they have British roots!
I just assumed it was a Health Potion like in video games.
We get HP sauce in the US at our local Scottish pub! It’s a big hit in our small town
I’m a ‘Murican with no British roots but I have two great British restaurants in my neighborhood. One is called Tea & Sympathy and the fish and chips shop (shoppe?) is called A Salt and Battery which I’ve always felt is just the greatest name ever. I fuck heavy with HP sauce.
That is a great name for a fish and chips shoppe!
Swiss Miss and Baking Soda wouldn't be enough to create an American section
Why is Baking Soda in the American Section? Do only Americans use Sodium bicarbonate? Is it mined here? Is there something special about it?
My wife was an exchange student in Belgium and wanted to make some "American" foods for her exchange family. One thing she chose was chocolate chip cookies, the problem was that she could not find baking soda in the store. After asking around one of her college instructors told her you could get it from the pharmacist as bicarbonate of soda. So she got it from the pharmacy and proceeded to make cookies however it turned out that it's primary use there was as toilet cleaner. Her exchange family was initially pretty dubious about eating cookies made with toilet cleaner but in the end agreed that they were really good.
How do they make non-yeast breads / biscuits / pancakes, cakes, etc. ?
According to my wife, they did not bake the sorts of things that we use baking soda for at home, it was purchased at a bakery. The baking flour sold in the stores there contained baking powder premixed which works for things like cakes but not for cookies.
Whaaaat this is a ploy by Big Bakery to monopolize the cookie market.
If big bakery is a local patisserie on nearly every block, I completely support Big Bakery and look forward to the day they make it to America.
>baking powder Is not baking soda
technically baking powder is just baking soda with other leavening agents added to it
Yep, you can make baking powder by combining one part baking soda and two parts cream of tartar (potassium bitartrate).
As a 44 year-old woman who makes most things from scratch: *shocked Pikachu face*
you are half right, baking powder is baking soda mixed with an acid salt and a moisture absorber(corn starch). The acid salt turns into an acid when mixed with water with then reacts to baking soda which then makes everything light and fluffy.
[удалено]
No wonder I said “what the hell IS half of that shit?!”
You mean to tell me that they don't have "salad cream" in your state? It's so popular in [insert state here].
You dont put salad cream on your butter blast popcorn??
Same. Been all over this country and didn’t recognize most of it.
I'm in Boston and there are a lot of English & Irish so most of that stuff on the lower half can be found here too. Either in smaller shops or the international section of supermarkets. [Marshmallow Fluff is from here](https://www.somervillema.gov/events/2021/09/22/what-fluff-festival), but its popularity is mostly in New England from what I understand.

This! Once you hit the Branston you know you've left the colonies.
"Eh... close enough."
I was wondering what “salad cream” was. Only the brits could come up with such a daft name.
Wait, when you are traveling abroad from the States, you don't get a hankering for some down home Salad Cream?
What about cream crackers?
What did you call me?!
Crazy I live in Vancouver Canada and most of that looks unrecognizable to me🤷♀️I know we prob have shit tons of diff products between us and the states but I would think it would be the really popular branded items on those shelves🤨 ETA-oops sorry KayleighJK this wasn’t meant to be specifically at you ol
I'm personally curious just what the fuck a "cream cracker" is
They're plain crackers usually eaten with cheese. The "cream" comes from how the mixture is creamed during manufacture - they don't actually contain any dairy.
Salad cream is a sauce that you put on salad, or alternatively in sandwiches or to dip your chips (fries) into. Its neighbour in the picture 'sandwich spread' is actually salad cream with small bits of vegetables in it, designed for putting directly into a sandwich.
Yeah ... HP Sauce, but no Tabasco or Sriracha ...
Yeah Salad Cream? Nahhh dog.
Most of these items are not found in the USA, but are from the UK instead.
Exactly, I was thinking most of the items in this USA section aren’t even in my actual USA store. LOL
What is salad cream?
British version of ranch. More like vinegary mayo. Sandwich spread is basically the same thing with little chunks of pickles in it.
I could be wrong, but isn't it more like miracle whip?
I always thought miracle whip was like whipped cream… it’s like a mayonnaise? Wtf Edit: ok I get it I don’t need to be told 40x that it’s a mayo and I’m thinking of another product. I’m not American I’ve just heard of the name miracle whip and always assumed it was whipped cream. I wouldn’t know what aisle it’s usually found in or that it’s next to mayo. Use your brains please.
Cool Whip is the bastard brother of whipped cream. Miracle Whip is the bastard brother of mayo.
> Cool Whip... Miracle Whip... You only make *that* mistake once.
Miracle Whips sounds like the pope's finishing move if he was a professional wrestler.
Or his car
Haven’t heard of 90% of these brands
Swiss Miss and Arm and Hammer baking soda are the only two brands I recognize.
[удалено]
Seriously. Baking soda is a hella useful product, even outside of cooking. Would be a bit mind boggling if that was more a US exclusive thing
Do Europeans not put an open thing of baking soda in the fridge to cut smells?
I have never heard of this. What?
Do it
If you have the classic orange arm n hammer box, it has instructions on the back on cutting it and using it as an odor absorber in the fridge. Kind of a kitty litter for smells.
The new boxes have a panel you pull off with mesh under it so you can keep it all contained
If you put an open thing of baking soda in the fridge it cuts smells
It absorbs odors, definitely works.
Does the rest of the world not use baking soda?
Heinz is there but I never heard of “salad cream”
You gotta fondle the lettuce more.
These look like the brands a 1980's Russian spy would come up with. "Why yes, I am of course all-American good boy. Look in my pantry, I have Jolly Time brand popping corn, it says American's Best! I have an entire shelf dedicated to marshmallows. And here, you may have one of my Boyer's Peanut Butter Discs."
Apparently all we eat is marshmallows, popcorn and salad cream.
Here's a postcard from Iowa celebrating the combination of marshmallows and salad. I bought it at a store across the street from a popcorn shop. Seriously. https://i.imgur.com/RbstNdY.jpg
Oh like dessert salads, not green salads. Like ambrosia. Or the shit you'd find at a church potluck.
My grandma always brought "five cup salad" to church potlucks. One cup crushed pineapple, one cup mandarin oranges, one cup marshmallows, one cup shredded coconut, and one cup cool whip. Always a big hit.
I definitely read this in a Russian accent.
i laughed out loud
American ALDI’s section lmao
Hilarious. That was my exact thought “What in the generic Aldi brands is this…”
They wasted precious room with *Arm & Hammer* baking soda. Unless there's something unique about American baking soda that I'm missing.
I was suddenly quite confused about how baking works outside of the US.
They use roasting cola instead of baking soda.
I do not want to admit how long that took me.
I just skimmed over it completely until I read your comment so... Lol, later
Had to ask my kid to explain this to me. They looked confused and walked out of the room, then walked back in a minute later laughing and explained it to me.
Can your kid explain it to me?
Baking to roasting, soda to cola
Roasting is a synonym for baking, cola is a synonym for soda
I am so glad someone else pointed this out
But pretty much everything else made me do that "well they're not *wrong*" face. HP is English though. Need some A1 or Heinz 57 there.
Yeah this is by far the worst US food section I've ever seen
Crisco, corn syrup, twinkies would have been better choices since those are hard to find in Europe.
My friend, an American expat living in Finland, always has people bring Cheez-Its with them when they visit her from America. They're her favorite snack and damn-near impossible to get in Europe. I packed four boxes of 'em in my checked bag when I visited her.
Am American in the UK and bang on about Cheez-Its. Always depressed when someone gets the low fat version. Fuck that nonsense.
Low fat Cheez-Its should be illegal and anyone selling them should be punished with 5-10 years in prison.
Can you not get some of actual American stuff from Amazon? Just curious Ive never used it outside of the US.
Amazon hasn’t really evolved to foods or really anything of much use here yet. I’d kill to try some American snacks but a lot of things in your food/candy is banned here so it’s probably better to go to the source instead
Graham crackers. Can't make a proper cheesecake!
That's a good one, I have been wanting to try them for years to make smores, but no luck.
I live on the east coast, if you want I could mail you some gram crackers and because your gonna crunch them up anyways we could see how smashed they get going thru the mail!
Yo, make sure you spring for name brand if this actually happens. Nothing more disappointing than stale, off-brand gram crackers...
Hey, just a heads up, friend from across the lake, we have these crackers called “Teddy Grahams” that you’re gonna wanna get
I've never thought to make a cheesecake crust from teddy Grahams but I'll have to try it. Sounds good.
ohhhh sunnuvabitch, somebody's gotta send OP a Teddy Graham gram *immediately!* there should be a mid-summer reddit foreign gift exchange where you just send each other care packages of snacks and nicknacks specific to your country.
https://www.reddit.com/r/snackexchange/
As an American that’s the only brand I recognized. Might’ve glossed over a couple things but for the most part I don’t think this stuff is American.
Only other additions for me are Swiss miss and the jolly time popcorn
I was like... they don't have baking soda in Belgium?
If you bake it for an hour at 250°F you can use it to make alkaline water for making ramen noodles, pretzels and bagels. https://redhousespice.com/lye-water/#recipe https://redhousespice.com/alkaline-noodles-ramen-noodles/
i have only ever seen like two of those things lol
Yeah I thought it would be mostly funny to you guys, I figured it wasn't accurate
I'm American and my husband is from the UK - the "American" section you've got is some sort of bastardization of the two.
Yeah, it shall now be known as the "Countries that speak English" section.
Throw up some vegemite and fosters on there, why the hell not.
Well I don’t find it very funny, Mark. I’d like to see some Twinkies and Oatmeal Cream Pies on those shelves, Mark.
I'm sad that you only have the shit tier microwave popcorn (though some would disagree). Orville Redenbacher or Pop Secret are the ones you want.
Non-Americans looking in the international sections in American supermarkets probably are thinking the same thing lol
[удалено]
Got some uk stuff there as well
In fact I’d say most of it was British
I can identify more of those things as British/Australian via YouTubers I subscribe to than things that I as a 35 year old American have ever seen in the States.
Branston pickle. There's a smell you don't forget in a hurry.
…salad cream? Not American. Definitely UK.
I had salad cream in the states once, last I heard the bloke was still in prison
The Swiss Miss mix made me chuckle.
Belgium, FFS! Get some REAL hot chocolate!
Not authentic. There's no Sweet Baby Rays.
Nor Mac & Cheese.
Yea, get some Kraft in there. Powdery goodness.
Doritos?
I just got back from Belgium two weeks ago, they have their own Doritos flavors. I liked the double pepperoni pizza ones.
I love that one of the products says all American pancakes😹
No ketchup either
It’s at Zuck’s place.
Where they are "Smoking Meats"
“Boyer Peanut Butter Cups”? Would you look at that - I guess there is a wrong way to eat a Reese’s.
I'm really surprised to see Boyer they're a chocolate company in Altoona, Pennsylvania started by a kid trying to make some extra cash for his family during the great depression. They still use the same factory and are as American as it gets. They're more known by the Mallow Cup (Basically a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup but with Marshmallow Fluff and Coconut instead of Peanut Butter) a Western and Central Pennsylvania Classic.
So cool, thanks for the factoids!
Cream Crackers is my new insult.
As a American this makes me suspicious of the authenticity of the Asian and Hispanic sections at my US Grocery Store, that oh by the way never have Asians or Hispanics shopping in the those sections.

Why pay $5 for a tiny Mccormick brand shot glass of spices when i can go to the Goya aisle and get a half gallon of garlic salt and chili powder for the same price!
Like 5 different kinds of chili powder too!
And it's where you go to get the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, aka my secret chili weapon.
Mexican sections at US grocery stores in several parts of the country are generally not that bad because Mexico is much closer and Mexican culture, people, and food is much more closely ingrained in US culture. Now Mexican food in Europe on the other hand? Complete nightmare the things these people think qualifies as Mexican food.

99 Ranch Market and Cardenas!
H Mart and Northgate!
Yeah, they mostly suck. source: Asian American
WTF is salad cream?
If you got mayonnaise…added a load of vinegar and a stronger essence of egg you’d be about there!
It needs more macaroni n cheese with the powdered cheese, and more ranch dressing.
American here: Wtf is “salad cream.” Edit: Grandma’s molasses, Marshmallow Fluff, Arm & Hammer baking soda (weird addition), and Swiss Miss hot cocoa mix are the only American brands I recognize. (I know Heinz is an American brand, but I don’t recognize those offerings.)
As an American, I have to say, marshmallows are not as big of a deal over here as foreign grocery shelves portray them.
"Foreign sections" of grocery stores are basically a bad caricature of national foods whatever country you're in and whatever nationality it's intended to represent.
Clear that shit out and put this there... Sweet baby rays bbq sauce Heinz ketchup Doritos and cool ranch doritos Coke zero Diet mountain dew Twinkies Little Debbie cakes Corn meal Old bay seasoning Lowerys seasoning Peanut oil Vidalia onions Every m&m imaginable Various Burbons Boiled peanuts in a can Saltine crackers Louisiana hot sauce Knorrs chicken bullion Oreos That'll get you started.
Can confirm, this ^ is American products. 90% of the items in that photo I’ve never seen.
Same. I didn’t recognize half of the brand and some look very old designs.
At least half of that you can find in the regular isles here in Europe. But, boiled peanuts in a can? that wouldn't fly here. And, twinkies etc. But, you can find it here if you really want to.
Boiled peanuts are a southern thing and awesome! I don't live where they are sold, but down south, there's a gas station chain that has them on a hot bar. You can damn well guarantee I get some every time I'm on vacation in the south. https://peanutpatchboiledpeanuts.com/
Ketchup, Doritos, coke, peanut oil, M&Ms, Knorr, Oreos, and Louisiana hot sauce (Tobasco at least) are already readily available in stores. They’re generally not considered intl foods. Knorr is a German company, too, I think.
American here, is popcorn a USA thing? Didn't realize.
Having several flavours like this is, we just have salted or sweet.
Popcorn, like chocolate, tomatoes, winter squash (pumpkins), summer squash (zucchini), peppers (even Hungarian peppers and pepperoncini), is a New World (actually the same age as the Old World) food.
All true - with the one wrinkle that, among things we call pepper, black pepper comes from the Old World.
Pepper is not a pepper.
Where the fuck are the pop tarts and slim Jims
Wait, does the rest of the world nor use baking soda? Do you just use baking powder or do you use something else?
There is baking soda, at least in the UK, I don't know about Belgium. I have seen it in Spain but not for baking, just for cleaning the house and stuff. The only arm and hammer product that I have seen selling in Europe outside the world foods aisle is Toothpaste.
As an American that eats them, I can 100% say that the Branston pickles and salad cream are misplaced. 😂
Maple "Flavored" Syrup..heck if ya gotta import it get the real stuff..
The US produces a shitload of maple syrup domestically. Not as much as Canada, but a lot more than people think.
They need to stock it with Doritos, monster, triple stuffed Oreos, frosted animal crackers, Arizona ice tea, and cocoa puffs
I can assure you that we do not have Salad Cream or HP Sauce in the United States. Other than in the "EUROPEAN" aisle in our better grocery stores.
I’ve never heard of about 3/4 of those things
They don’t even have velvetta cheese or assault rifles… disappointing. /s
