    Most of it… Last trip I took to Europe, I was staying in an airB&B in Iceland with a few friends, and it had a kitchen. I went to the Bonus (local grocer) and got bread, cheese, eggs, and butter and made a simple fried egg sandwich for breakfast every day. Best damn food ive ever made for myself.

    We dont have good cheap bread state side, cheese product is most of whats on the shelves and Euro eggs were just better. It took about a week after coming home for random food items to stop tasting like plastic…

    I don’t think there’s any food product from Europe that I regularly consume.

    Now, Mexico and South America, on the other hand…

    Probably just the swiss chocolate in the Holls chocolates I get for some holidays. The bonbons/truffles themselves are made in Vienna…West Virginia.

    I can find alternatives with enough effort, but I love me some heavy peated Scotch. The smokier the flavor the better

    I’m Canadian, but… Fruit, I guess. Some fruit we get from places like Greece, Spain or Italy, both canned and fresh. We could live without them, but surely there’d be moments in the year when we couldn’t get fresh peaches, for example, at the supermarket, without European imports.

    But it’s not a majority. We get quite a bit from South America, North Africa, and, astonishingly, as far as South Africa, too.

    Though there isn’t much else. It’s rarely worth it to import food from another rich country, all the way across the ocean, in today’s world.

    Though interestingly, I bought “canned” soup (actually packaged in a plastic bag) that came from Lithuania, of all places.

    Off the top of my head the only European food product I consistently buy is Kerrygold butter. But I could use a domestic version. Other than that I’ll on rare occasion buy a wine that’ll be from Italy or France rather than a domestic.

    The only international foods that really make up any significant part of my grocery list are fruits from the tropics.

    I’ve moved and become Canadian… but I was born American and raised it.

    I love the shit out of quality marzipan.
