    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)

    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.

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

    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.

    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'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.

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