The U.S. has a lot to offer, and foreigners miss a LOT of uniquely American things when they go home. Like those really big cans of Arizona Iced Tea.
There’s a thread online where foreigners are talking about the American foods and drinks they REALLY crave when they’re back home. The people are from different countries . . . and some countries may have things that others don’t . . .
… but apparently, these are some of the things that they miss the most:
1. Americanized Chinese food . . . and that’s coming from someone in Asia.
2. “Great Mexican food” . . . it’s fairly likely this person is not from Mexico.
3. Maple syrup . . . it’s fairly likely this person is not from Canada.
4. Chick-fil-A . . . Wendy’s was also mentioned, along with In-N-Out Burger, Taco Bell, and Cracker Barrel.
5. Mozzarella sticks, with marinara sauce for dipping.
6. Root beer.
7. “Gas station beef jerky,” which is expensive and hard to find in Europe.
8. Jambalaya.
9. American BBQ.
10. American breakfasts . . . pancakes, bacon, eggs, and fried potatoes.
11. Pop Tarts . . . which are available in some specialty “American shops” abroad, but they also cost three-times the price. That’s probably the case for many of the products mentioned.
12. The cereal selection at grocery stores.
13. “Everything” bagels.
14. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
15. Peanut butter.
16. Hidden Valley ranch dressing.
17. Chicken wings with buffalo sauce.
18. And yes, someone said “those huge cans of Arizona Iced Tea.”
