Foods not found in your country that you wish you had...

overfences

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
