Good old Austrian Vegemite.
Salmiak licorice. It’s not a treat for everyday, but sometimes that weird bitter salty combo slaps.
Belgian ales, and German beers that follow the purity laws.

Dutch chocolate which is very good, and uses a slavery-free supply chain.
But not a lead free chain

Welp. That’s depressing
Damn. Pick your battles I guess, I’ll die of lead poisoning to keep people free
I think it’s more like “The chocolate supply chain is poisoning you in general” tbh, so go with Tony’s because it’s the ethical choice of delicious lead.
German chocolate is like a whole other food than the wax that Hershey’s pretends is the real thing.
As a swiss person “Hershey” is not choclate — it is a candy.
Try Belgian chocolate next
Soapy-tasting wax, at that.
Chianti Classico from Italy. It’s just soooooo smooth.
Twinings (UK version) Extra Strong Breakfast Tea with Digestives dark chocolate biscuits.
Preparing EU exit tariffs for the upcoming trade war with the US?
In that case, fancy wines that rich people buy.
I love that Smarties (the chocolate) are naturally colored. All our candy is basically carcinogenic
Also, our Smarties are basically chalk. Delicious chalk
Edit: clarity
Smarties are two different things in the US and Europe so you have to specify.
Which ones, the chalky fruity ones or the candy coated chocolates?
European sardines are VASTLY superior to most of the stuff you get in the US
I don’t think there’s any food product from Europe that I regularly consume.
Now, Mexico and South America, on the other hand…
Every time I go to Mexico, one of the first things I do is get tacos! I NEEEED EM!!!
Danish butter cookies are pretty awesome
Those tins never contain cookies when I see them.
They are sewing tins, the butter cookies are stowaways.
I’m trying to think of the last food item I’ve eaten that was made in Europe, without success.
Most of it… Last trip I took to Europe, I was staying in an airB&B in Iceland with a few friends, and it had a kitchen. I went to the Bonus (local grocer) and got bread, cheese, eggs, and butter and made a simple fried egg sandwich for breakfast every day. Best damn food ive ever made for myself.
We dont have good cheap bread state side, cheese product is most of whats on the shelves and Euro eggs were just better. It took about a week after coming home for random food items to stop tasting like plastic…
I’m good as long as Scotland and Lagavulin isn’t back in EU.
As a french reading the replies in this thread: Ew
Fine. I’m putting my Campari in Champagne now 🙃
