    Watermelon Kit Kats! (Japan) and I heard Canada and some other countries have Sprite that has mint flavor in it. THAT is my dream soda... I love anything with mint and I've always wanted to try mint soda...

    there are these chocolates in denmark called 'skildpadder'. they are manufactured by toms. anyway, they are little chocolate turtles filled with caramel and a touch of brandy. they really are just heaven.

    i love chocolate & sweets, and especially love trying new types. i've been to every capital city here in europe with the main object being to try the local chocolate!

    suddenly i can see how i ended up on MFP!

    Poutain (it's a Canandian dish and I'm sure it is really bad for me)

    Poutain (it's a Canandian dish and I'm sure it is really bad for me)

    *poutine.

    And it's delicious. But combining french fries, cheese curds and gravy does not exactly make it MFP friendly, unfortunately.

    I miss kinder eggs, real doner kebab, flammkuchen (alsacian flat bread with creme fraiche, bacon and onions), good beer (it doesn't taste the same imported)....the list goes on and on

    Oh I also miss German Fanta (a lot like orangina) and Mezzo Mix/Spezi, which is like a mix between that Fanta and Coke.

    I will echo above sentiments that I'm kinda glad I can't get these foods here....

    I'm in Canada and I want:

    Olive Garden (US)
    Chili's (US)
    REAL Cadbury chocolate (UK!) - the stuff here tastes gross compared to the REAL stuff.
    Tesco Chocolate Chip muffins...really random but I LOVE THEM they are SO GOOD. I miss the UK...
    Nutty Bars (US but I've recently seen them here so...maybe...)

    So basically... I need to move back to the US or the UK.....not that I do not LOVE my home country of Canada...but seriously. I love my Timmies though (Tim Horton's - its a coffee place, I don't drink coffee but I love their foods).. haha.
