If you've seen our article on photographer Gregg Segal's series Daily Bread: What Kids Eat Around the World, you know that our menu can vary a lot depending on the place we live in. Who knows, maybe you've even been on a culinary holiday. Point is, our tastebuds can get pretty intrigued about trying out different stuff. But sometimes, satisfying their cravings is pretty difficult. So when you get the opportunity, you have to use it.
Earlier this month, Reddit user u/pogmoshron made a post on r/Cooking, saying: "What are some kitchen 'must haves' that I can pick up when I'm in the States that can't be purchased in Europe?" Immediately, cooks began making suggestions, and the comment section ultimately became a pretty vivid illustration of American eating habits. Continue scrolling to check out their replies.

When I lived in the US, I would bring back Lipton's Onion Soup Mix and make onion dip. My Indian friends loved it so much, they would fight over who got to lick the bowl.
Old Bay Seasoning. I haven't been able to find it in Europe. I'm from Maryland, and I miss it so much that I make my own from a copycat recipe and always have it on hand in my kitchen.
All peanut butter products. I'm an American living in Scotland, and good peanut butter exists here but only in tiny expensive jars. I miss things like peanut butter cookies, Reese's Puffs, and peanut-butter-filled pretzels.
I'm in the UK.. you can get Peanut Butter cookies, fudge, puffs (though they're animport) cups, pretzels, etc etc...
My friend just moved to Dublin from the states. They brought a ridiculous amount of ranch dressing and ranch dressing powder. When we go to visit them we are instructed to bring more. I guess Europe does not have a ranch market.
No. And the first time I heard about it was here on Bored Panda. It was out of context and I did not understand why OP was speaking about "farmer clothing" (ranch... dressing...).
Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning. Salty, but so very good in all kinds of foods.
Staple. They have all kinds of other products too. Mixes, Bloody Mary mix, etc. Living in NOLA I make most of their mixes from scratch, but in a pinch their gumbo and jambalaya mixes are quite good. Zing Zang is much better bloody mix though.
There's a brand of Cajun seasoning called 'Slap ya Mama'. I've never actually tried it myself, but as a brit living in the UK, I have seen it as an ingredient in SO MANY recipes that I can only assume it's popular.
I put on nearly everything I want spice. That and Tony Chachere which is listed in….
Celery Seed
Personally I haven't been able to find it here in Finland and I don't know how common it is in other countries. Celery seed really gives coleslaw and a few other dishes that true American flavor.
Cottage cheese. In Japan, it's virtually impossible to find, and really I miss cottage cheese!
Cottage cheese is easy to make yourself from whole milk, salt, and some sort of acid (I use vinegar or lemon juice). Heat the milk slowly, add the acid, stir gently and let rest for a few minutes, strain through cheesecloth, add salt. I add a bit of cream to make it smoother, but that is optional.
Maple syrup is so hard to find outside of North America! I'm in Brazil right now and I've been here several times before and I remember once a few years back when a couple friends had to tell me that there was roughly zero chance I was going to find maple syrup here (I was planning a Super American Breakfast For Dinner kind of fun meal).
I literally just bought maple syrup the other day. From Sainsbury's. xP It's available in Europe, but Brazil isn't Europe. (this article needs a new title jfc)
My [expat] sister always says how hard it is to find canned pumpkin overseas so i always bring some when I visit. I'd load up there!
Corn bread. It’s rare to find in the UK. The only place I’ve seen it was at Whole Foods, and even there it was cold, subpar, and not as comforting as the US version.
American measuring cups. Makes making recipes online much easier as you don’t have to try and convert anything.
When I was in the USA I bought a cast iron pan for 20-30 dollars I think. It’s at least 3 times cheaper than the same kind of pan where I live.
Stone-ground corn grits. At least in England, they're nearly impossible to find. You can get your hands on Quaker Oats corn grits, but that's about it.
Chipotle powder. I get it at a Mexican market. Chipotles are smoked jalapeños. I use it as a rub on chicken or pork before grilling.
Franks red is key. I used to bring back Buffalo sauce when I would go to the States, but then I realized how easy and tasty it is to make from scratch, so now I just bring back some Franks
I'm an American expat living in Germany, and when I make trips back to the US I return with:
BTB
TJs EBTB seasoning
Annie's Mac and Cheese (I make m&c from scratch, but my kids love the s**t in the blue box)
Rainbow sprinkles
Frontera Mexican sauce packets
Pink Starbursts
Reese's Pieces
Bourbon
Cream of Tartar
I find it funny how many of these posts are just synthetic flavours or ultra-processed stuff
It's what is available to us, it's what we were raised on. How well do you think you would fair if you left your country and went the same distance that an American would if they came to your country without the comfort foods you grew up on?

Where on earth can you not find rainbow sprinkles and cream of tartar?
wait wait wait... asking for Annie's brand mac&cheese, but then saying they like the blue box... the blue box is Kraft, they had a whole commercial about it
They did. But Annie's also has a blue box. And is way better.

Cream of tartar can be found in any cake shop, easiest to find it is online. Germany probably picked.up on that trend too. And bourbon? Really? Go to a shop selling alcoholic beverages and you will find it.
I'm surprised that the person can't find cream of tartar in Germany. I thought Dr Oetker did it and they're a German brand, aren't they?
Alnatura sells it too. And many supermarkets have Alnatura.

In America, in Aldi you find sections of German stuff.

What's BTB? I'm assuming TJ's BTB means Trader Joe's? Super unhelpful to abbreviate things on an international post.
This was lifted from Reddit. The OP mentioned Better Than Bouillon in their post, so I'm assuming BTB is that. That's a line of concentrated stock that comes in a jar. TJ's EBTB is Trader Joe's "Everything But The Bagel" seasoning. For non-American pandas, that's the seeds and seasonings you would find on top of an "everything" bagel here in the US. It has sesame seeds, sea salt flakes, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion, black sesame seeds, and poppy seeds.

Annie’s Mac and cheese isn’t in a blue box. I think you’re thinking of Kraft Mac and Cheese—-which comes in a blue box.
This is so very depressing. I couldn't live without Annie's Mac and Cheese.
90% of the times, when someone defines him/herself as an "expat", it means an "immigrant" who doesn't like the word.
We have a meme here in africa. "Expat" means "white immigrant", whereas "immigrant" means "not a white person, probably here to steal our jobs."

I hate rainbow sprinkles. Useless things. If they had faces I’d punch them in it
Or you could just cross the border to Denmark and get most of these things
Reeses Pieces and aBoutbon are in most UK supermarkets. And a bag of just “pink” Starburst you can get in Asda, just called Strawberry Starburst
I would think finding cream of tartar would be relatively easy in Europe, as it’s a residue from wine making
Cream of tartar, now that you just cannot get in France!!! So useful, though.
I took to Europe Orville Redenbacher's popcorn, Wesson Oil, Oscar Meyer bacon, chocolate chips, light brown sugar, Skippy peanut butter, and mini-marshmallows. Those were the things I missed, and I brought back Lyle's Golden Syrup from the UK, specialty flours from France, and Maggi and Knorr mixes from Germany (some varieties don't seem to be readily available in the US). If only I could find the fabulous breads that I enjoyed in Europe here in Maine.
One would think that with all the wine being made in Europe that cream of tartar would be widely available. Maybe it goes by another name perhaps?
Well, kind of. In most places in Europe we use sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) for the same purpose, or a premixed combination of similar chemicals labeled as 'baking powder', which can contain cream of tartar in some cases. It's funny, I had to google what cream of tartar actually is, because we call it something completely different (roughly translates as winestone acid), but we do have a condiment that has a very similar name (tartar sauce I guess). It's mayo mixed with sour cream, lemon juice, salt and pepper, and it's basically our ranch around here.

Our Swedish state-run off licence, Systembolaget, has 83 different American bourbons and whiskey available. For example JD, JB, Evan Williams, Bulleit, Buffalo Trace, Makers Mark, John Lee, Woodford, Blanton's, Rackhouse, Four roses, Easy rider, Larency etc We even have a Motörhead whisky...
We have all of the above in Portugal. Not a problem here. Maybe you are in the wrong place.
Wait, there are places you can't get rainbow sprinkles? How do you make fairy bread...ohh! lol Also, I hate that you can buy individual starburst colours in the states but not Australia! I was going to get some online but that's expensive.
I’ve never had Annie’s….. get KD (Kraft dinner) instead, its the best thing ever
All the good things, indeed. Please don't feed the stray dogs with them.
Why do people keep calling Annie's the Kraft blue box ?? So not the same and usually 2 to 3 bucks more expensive
What in the heck is "BTB" & "TJs EBTB"? I haven't a clue to what these refer!
You should go to the Netherlands for the cream of tartar, the bourbon and rainbow sprinkles. It's a less far journey for those products.
so-- smarties with peanut butter in them because chocolate is a foreign concept? Screen-Sho...a4fae5.png 
Chocolate is not a foreign concept. They simply want the ones with peanut butter in them which are apparently harder to find outside the US. The US has a very popular candy similar to Smarties called M&M's so I doubt a candy coated chocolate bit is a "foreign concept" to the poster or any American.

Honestly, when you have Baren-Treff available, dunno why you'd crave any of that garbage candy.
Also, you know Better than Bouillon is a misnomer, like I can't believe it's not butter? Because it's not butter, that's why.
Bourbon! Whenever I go to the US, I bring home as much bourbon as I'm allowed. Abroad, there are very few types of Bourbon sold, and they are incredibly expensive.
Meh. Why drink Bourbon if there's something better locally available? Say, whisky.
Internet teached me what pop tarts are. Never seen them in Europe. Also we don't have good brown sugar. Maybe that's a continental thing.
Anything Mexican related and some less common hot sauces.
I do believe that "Mexican related" food can be find all over Europe.
If you have the space in your luggage, kosher salt is a lot cheaper in the US than the European equivalents
If you like Mexican food, it’s worth stocking up on dried chilis in the US since they’re again way more abundant and much cheaper
I personally prefer the sponges you get in the US, so I always bring back some of the yellow and green Scotch Brite kind.
Dr. Pepper. Whenever we travel abroad, my husband almost loses his mind going a week or two without it.
Hidden Valley fiesta ranch mix is god tier. Mix with sour cream and its perfect with all flavors of potato chips
Tajin seasoning. It elevates just about every kind of fruit, and it's so hard to find outside of the States.
Peanut butter, graham crackers & marshmallows keep well and I know a lot of countries don't have them.
Dried chiles. If you like cooking Mexican food, it's worth stocking up on them in the US. You can find them abroad, but they're way more expensive and less common.
Canned diced green chilis. Decent salsa (but sure if it might break), Goya beans and salsas, boxed Mac n cheese. My German friend from college demands that last one in all her care packages lol.
The umami seasoning is phenomenal. I use it in almost everything to add depth of flavor.

I swear if there's one thing I'll never understand in my life, it's Americans and boxed mac and cheese.
It's valid for a lot food in every country, no matter how bad it is. If you had it as a staple food in your childhood you are going to love it and miss it. It's not just a taste but memories and comfort too. For Hungary it's lard spread on bread. :)

So having lived in the US for decades, and being a citizen, I have to say that half of these things are not even common in the USA. They are tiny local niche market items. The rest, it's ridiculous. Aluminium foil? Cream of tartar? Chillis? Salt? I think people living abroad need to get out a bit more.
I've never been in the US in my entire life, tried to make a recipe from internet and couldn't find the famous cream of tartar anywhere

It's a mix of spice things -sure but if you look at the ingredients there's probably something very similar - and really dodgy processed food with tons of corn syrup...

Im from germany and can get my hands on most of those things in common supermarkets and some specialized shops for foreign foods (we have a ridicolous amount of those for nearly every country existing). maybe its not the exact same brand but the product is the same.
I see a lot of comments here and in the article about all the food being “processed junk”. Well duh. Customs won’t let you bring fruits, veggies, unprocessed meats, dairy, etc across country borders, let alone across oceans. So yes, I know our American diet isn’t the best but this list is not representative of everything we eat. It’s just the stuff that customs will let into another country.
I am sorry, first result in Google (and also well known fact): “American readers might be familiar, as the United States has the highest rate of obesity among developed countries”… Trust me. Your diet is very bad. I lived and still travel a lot to America, the portions of food in restaurants, the amout of fast junk food on every corner, the abnormal choices of processed, semi-finished and frozen food in malls, the added sugar in every fkin thing. Dont get me wrong, i like to travel back there, i like to go to restaurants there, like the streed food, gastronomy culture, love burgers, but diet in America is awful ☺️ This is my opinion and comes from comparison between Europe and America. Funny story. Once i got a free meal of fried calamari in New York, because, as waitress said, unfortunately they have only half portion of it. So as compesation, they gave it to me for free. It was a full meal to me though, i was stuffed 🤷🏼♂️😁 Left a very generous tip well above my 10-15% standard in US.

The U.S. is a melting pot. Most items that can't be found in one country can be found in another country (like Latin American food can be found in Mexico but not certain parts of Europe, or Italian can't be found in some Latin American countries). It is really only a lot of peanut products (Thanks George Washington Carver), processed foods, and weird versions of foreign foods that might not be able to find anywhere but the US.
So most of these are things that can in fact be found in most of Europe, some easily, some in certain ethnic shops, plus they're artificial and some maybe not even allowed under European food safety laws.

I'm an American. I'm also a supertaster, which means I have more taste buds than normal. I don't like spicy food. I don't like seasoning. No strong flavoring, either. Plain, plain, plain...because I can taste the most subtle of flavors, strong ones are overpowering. Plus, after I had Thrush a few years ago, it made everything even worse. I think I would like some if these places very much...wish they had specified where they were...
My taste buds are also very high. I can't eat spicy food, can't handle to much salt or pepper (plain white or black) but a little bit fresh garlic on my lamsmeat or pizza (garlicoil) and a few red o ion parts are doable. Don't like to much sugars in food either. Makes me vomit. My nose smells also all kind of ingredients in a dish, or at least the most. I am a picky eater 🙃

I'm an American. I'm also a supertaster, which means I have more taste buds than normal. I don't like spicy food. I don't like seasoning. No strong flavoring, either. Plain, plain, plain...because I can taste the most subtle of flavors, strong ones are overpowering. Plus, after I had Thrush a few years ago, it made everything even worse. I think I would like some if these places very much...wish they had specified where they were...
My taste buds are also very high. I can't eat spicy food, can't handle to much salt or pepper (plain white or black) but a little bit fresh garlic on my lamsmeat or pizza (garlicoil) and a few red o ion parts are doable. Don't like to much sugars in food either. Makes me vomit. My nose smells also all kind of ingredients in a dish, or at least the most. I am a picky eater 🙃
