Foods you'd miss!
Inspired by a very awesome girl who is studying abroad atm!
If you had to go away to a country whose diet was very different from yours, what domestic foods would you miss the most?
For me, it'd be macaroni and cheese, mashed potatos, and Mountain Dew (because apparently no one outside North America gets it, which sucks). All of those have been like staples for me since I was little so I'd be missing them pretty bad.
I was in Japan for 2 and a half months. I really, really missed mashed potatoes!
you get puréed potatoes instead, stu baby. they're very similar. (especially the way my mom makes mashed potatoes)
things i miss:
my dad's soup
soup in general (with meat in it anyways)
doritos
dr. pepper
cheap generic products from walmart
Things I will miss:
comte cheese
lentil/pea soup
the water boiler (for tea)
really really really good pizza (really fresh)
Anywhere where I cannot get pocky I die within the hour.
I think most people can agree on the Mashed Potatoes. xD
I'd miss Porkchops...And Cheeseburgers. Y'know, all the good and fattening stuff! I don't know how good cheeseburgers are outside of America!
I'd miss Blue Bell Ice Cream too! ;_;
When I travel, I try really really hard to dive into the food culture of that area. Even if it means walking blocks outside the touristy areas and eating at places that are nearly 100% locals only, and where they can barely understand a word you say. So I might miss some stuff, but not terribly. I don't realize how much I miss something until I get BACK to my home. And then it's like, god damn I need some In-N-Out!
Yeah, three of the things I miss the most when I travel is kimchi, seaweed, and In-N-Out.
In-N-out = win!
Oh, did I mention I'm awesome?
I don't think I'd miss anything. Although, I'm thinking about my own experiences with going abroad - when I go to Spain, I tend to try and eat Spanish foods, but if I really wanted to have a completely British meal... I could just go to the local British restaurant and get something from there. Not that I ever would.
But, I would miss haggis. As if that would be a delicacy in many places!
When I went to Tenerife I missed Galaxy and other chocolates. All I could find was german chocolates for some reason. They were good but not as good as Galaxy.
They call it "Pocket" in france.Originally Posted by Pureghetto
Matzo-Ball Soup. it's chicken soup, but better.
When I went to Tenerife or any Spanish country, I missed Dr Pepper sooo much, as I literally have 2 or 3 cans of it a day, so to go to Spain where you can't find them anywhere it was a huge shock to me xD
I found them in one little shop in Tenerife, I was so ecstatic! I never could find that shop again though.
food I'm not really fussed about, I only ever eat British food! I hate mashed potato also, eww.
Azns need pocky like the rest of us need oxygen? Well slight exaggeration. I don't think I could go an hour without oxygen...
This is going to sound terribly silly but I think I'd miss chips. Horridly bad for you, but they're just something I really enjoy to have now and again. And I mean proper chippy chips, none of these ridiculous 'fries' that the rest of the world considers equal to chips.
Also: HP Sauce and mild, white, crumbly Cheshire cheese. But not together.
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
In Hong Kong I cannot get my prefered brand of Gel. It's sadface causing.
Whenever we're living abroad, I miss the fast-food places in the States so much :kaocry2:
♪ wheee!
