    I'm in the U.S. and here are the things I wish I could have:

    Tim Horton's donuts (Canada)

    maple butter (Canada)

    coconut kit kats (Japan or China i think)

    There are Tim Hortons in the States! :) I love diner-style coffee and theirs is the best I've had (it has that awesome nutty flavor). Oh and maple butter is easy to find if you live in a state that produces syrup.

    A few things I wish were more easily found:

    GOOD ouzo & retsina
    UK style bacon (although I guess country ham isn't far off...)
    Katjes brand gummies - ah. maze. ing
    Awesome canned fish (tuna,sardines, etc)
    Excellent olive oil that doesn't cost a fortune
    Torrone

    I was not the other poster but Tim's in the states is NOTHING compared to Tim's in Canada. I was so disappointed haha.

    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?

    Reese's Pieces, 48 oz. Bag = $9 But for you it would be worth the extra money :) YUMMY
