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

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!

Don't you guys have anything like jello? Where is this comment from?

Looks about right

All the stores feature representations of sugar galore in the 'American' section. What I find curious is no protein bars.

The flag ratio to space available seems accurate.

Lots of Arizona teas. Sounds good.

I don't recognize any of that

Canadian GF was oblivious to cornbread, now she demands it.

Those Jimmy Dean croissants are bomb though.

Cholula hot sauce and Stubbs BBQ sauce are about the best there is, really. And what’s with the baking soda??

Come on now. Baking soda? Surely this store also sells baking soda. I don't believe that's uniquely American. 😂

I am amused at the choice of "French's" for mustard at a French supermarket. I think it's one of the better yellow mustards.

America is so very sweet.

I don't see any A&W in that picture, do you?

No one wants to pay to overinflated prices for diabetes.

Never seen hotdogs in a jar... this must be a NY thing

I thought they stopped making Twinkies ages ago?

What is with those "Dino's" jars??? They are in so many of these pictures, and in forty years of shopping I've never seen hot dogs in jars at any supermarket I've ever been in.

As far as i can tell, most of this stuff is legit, but I have never in my life seen *jarred* hot dogs in the supermarket. ( Just to the left of the Bisquick. )

What's with all the Nerds? And I thought Jelly Belly's were British?

Again with the baking soda! What the heck?

A1 Sauce is in 90% of the pictures so far

Okay I just want to know what kind of store this is.

At least this one has soup.

At least they have some Sweet Baby Rays!

Y'all must like sweets.

Finally, a hot sauce section albeit tiny.

I think not.

Those cookie doughs do not look like they are American.

That's not food those are snacks.

You could make like 4 s’mores out of 1 of those marshmallows

Fluff!

I wonder who chose these particular items. The others have largely been a product of what people eat on American television, but this is a decidedly southern regional palate.
