As expats, what do we haul back from our trips to the USA?
Cake mixes, chocolate chips, cereal, cold medicine, ziplock baggies, naproxen sodium, crackers, candy....ah, the comforts of our American lives.
Here is my (in the 'borrowed' sense) Arne Jacobsen dining table filled with USA goodies. Would that be considered a sin?
this little girl says "Thank you Santa!" LOL
ReplyDeleteAnd I love you for it! :)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing what other people have on their must import list!
ReplyDeleteI laugh to myself as I see what you buy when you come to the U.S. Apart from peanut butter, A-1 and ziplocks, I don't normally buy the other stuff you miss. I guess it's where you were brought up as a kid. I miss the Danish cheeses, rundstykker and wienerbrod. I can't remember how to spell it since I speak Danish but never write it. I even buy poppyseed bagels as they remind me of rundstykker. Thanks for your visit today.
ReplyDeleteDo you know that you can get A1, Goldfish, and other imported goods at the BestBuy in Hellerup
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder Alex. I think it's Superbest, right?
ReplyDeleteThe prices are about 5 times as expensive as they are in the USA, so when an expat is traveling 'home' and has a little suitcase space, we bring back some goodies at 1/5 the price. In a pinch Superbest is ok, but to pay $7 for el paso enchilada sauce, when it costs $1 in the US is a little much.
sorry yes..Superbest, always confuse the name.. I was there this weekend, I started my food hunting for thanksgiving...
ReplyDeleteI'm terrible. I wanted those fruity pebbles SO bad. I brought out one box and we devoured the whole thing in a few days. Box number two is gone now too. I'm still saving three for Christmas morning! No eggs, hashbrowns and bacon this year!! ...just fruity goodness!!!
