SkyPixie

Crystal Light
Big Red

girlinahat

clove-flavoured polos.

no really, they're something else

Rinkermann

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)

*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

LaMujerMasBonitaDelMundo

Quinoa (yeah I can't find anything here)
Greek Yogurt
Authentic Mexican dishes
Indian food

I'm in Canada ...

- Olive Garden
- Cherry Coke/Pepsi
- Krispy Kremes
- Dunkin Donuts hazelnut coffee

(I'm actually thankful I dont live in the US because I'd be consuming mass quantities lol)

Long_and_Lean

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....

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...

I live in Canada and I've never heard of this Mint Sprite haha.

Me neither ...

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.

Schnitzel and Curry-worst...sure you can make it with the recipe but not the same coming off of a cart.

moran1917

Not sure where you are in Canada but there is a Krispy Kreme relatively close to me but yeah. I looked it up and there are 2 in Ontario and 2 in Quebec so if you're not in either/close to them in the province then yeah you have a problem haha.

Dr Pepper
Soft pretzels
Bagels (can get them here but hella expensive)
Mint M&Ms

Do you mean Poutine? French fries with gravy & smothered in gooey cheese I'm a Canadian gal :bigsmile:

maddymama

Ok, I'll second the maple sugar- yummy! And the flavored KitKat bars. My youngest child's nickname is "KitKat" so we are currently afficionadoes of the bar. :-) The dark chocolate ones are yummy, especially frozen. But I digress...........

And, while my favorite food is found in the US and I live in the US, it is only found near the Chesapeake Bay. UTZ Crab Chips- They are Old Bay seasoned potato chips and they are phenomenal. I buy two or three bags when I go home, and I don't share with anyone. They are MINE ALL MINE!!!!!

I don't buy potato chips or really eat them at any other point and time all year. I blow my chip allowance for the year in a week with those babies.

Reece's Pieces! I really can't understand it because we aussies love our peanut butter.

This thread got me thinking though and I've discovered I can get them in bulk for $26.50 (including postage) for a 1.1kg (39 ounce) bag. How does this compare to what I'd pay in the US?

Another Canadian specialty: Cinnabons.But it's just as well we don't have them here: so yummy, but so calorie-laden and unhealthy! I have a recipe that makes a fair approximation but takes enough effort and time that I don't make them often, which is good.
