What The “American Food” Section Looks Like In Different Countries

next edition should totally also contain fries and bacon , this seems incomplete

I think this one is mostly ok. Substitute Virgil's for Budweiser, ad some mac & cheese and that's about it.

American supermarkets have a European section- it is called fruit and vegetables

News flash: U.S. grocery stores have sections dedicated to other countries as well. Typically it’s just the name brand garbage that comes from those countries and is about as representative of those countries as these images are of the U.S.. I would say one difference is we’re smart enough not to believe that’s what other countries eat as part of their regular diet.

Funny thing is that A1 is actually a British creation made originally by Brands.

A great deal of American food would not be suitable to be sold in Britain, it contains far too many 'chemicals'. Does this mean American products sold in Britain have to be specially made so therefore not really American?

I ate a Twinkie once. It was nasty. The Jif one makes me smile as Jif was a cleaning product before it rebranded to Cif.

American grocery stores have an International aisle

All this stuff looks American

???

Sometimes, sometimes you can get stuff like this at TK Maxx or in the imported foods at House of Fraser or Harvey Nichols. It will cost you an arm an a leg for box of Captain Crunch though

I've seen a Spanish section and a Chinese section here, but no other foreign foods section. I can find Kielbasa in the refrigerator section and sauerkraut in with canned vegetables, though.

That's a corner I never venture to, I used to like pop-tarts but these days, I can't eat that plastic shite. I love Oreos but they are just normally sold amongst all the other biscuits in the normal biscuit aisle, we have had them for years and they are very popular.

Why go to another country to just eat your own food?

But no creamer. My Texan husband is very disappointed.

I did not know.

Yes, I ran into expat Americans in London all the time who clued me in to which stores carried what American products.

All those Pop Tarts!

You ought to see the "International" section in American grocery stores. It's nearly as terrifying.

I do like cheese crackers

Not to forget the fabulous Jelly beans!

Now this is a useful thing to stock in the American section

Sugar. It tastes like sugar.

It looks like some fancy American cherry flavoured medicine

what Sorcery is this?

The price of American cereal over here is ridiculous. I’ve never tried any, only because I refuse to pay that much for a 330g box of cereal that wouldn’t share between 5 people for the week .

As an American, most of this looks right to me as quintessential American food. But canned black beans? I had no idea those were unique to the USA. I assumed canned black beans were a universal staple.

I know it's not what it said, but I read this as Vague and Plague and I just had to stare at the wall until my brain restarted.

20 years in Colorado and I was completely oblivious to our state’s official marshmallows XD

HP for the win!

Dark is better, but the combo is solid.

Not too far off lol

I see they have a Mexican section too.

I have no objection to that!

this is the most accurate to actual American supermarkets. Some healthy cereal, some junky, crackers, oil, dressing, cookies, jello, vinegar, pudding. I live in the US and this seems right.

I remember Shnapple.

I an truthfully say, as an american, that we have none of this, and I have NEVER heard of this brand. My guess is that it is in Europe and makes "American" food to appeal to the market.

This is cute, but I shudder to think how they tasted.

Baking soda?

everything in this section is overpriced chemicals

Nope.

This is the first photo that has Ranch dressing in it. I do think that's a "must" for an American grocery section.

Twinkies!
