green tea Kitkats from Japan.

They exist? Then them. I want to try a green tea kitkat!

Oh yeah, suffice to say, they're delicious.

 

[Yosato]

Rice balls! EVERY anime character eats them so I want to see what the crack is with them, are they any good?

 

[Gardenia]

Space cakes :3

I would really like some mochi. A friend of mine had it once, but I just can't seem to find shops around who sell it in Florida. I WANT MY MOCHI!
...also for some reason I think I spelled it wrong

Calpis - it's probably not spread further than Japan because of its unfortunate name, but it's pretty awesome

What exactly is calpis?

They're almost exactly like you would imagine.

I too long for Green Tea Kit Kat. Also, Fanta before it was launched in America...I believe I had the Italian one..and man was it fantastic. And Mexican Coca-Cola is generally awesome too (use real sugar, GASP!)...that's actually popular enough around here that a lot of grocery stores will carry it in bottles but it's pretty expensive.

Dear America.

What the fuck is a Twinky?

Calumon: PS: Are Froot loops nice?

Basically a snack cake that's 50% preservatives. I don't see a whole lot that's better than other snack cakes with cream filling in personally.
Froot loops are pretty good though.

Burritos from Chipotle in Dallas. Insanely tasty and fresh. They've opened in London now, but that's still a 2 hour flight.

I think I'm the only person who doesn't like Mountain Dew... They have to sell it as an energy drink over here and it tastes like co-codemol. I've had the imported American version too, didn't like it.
I've tried Hersey's and it's rank, I think our chocolate is much better.
I want to try real sushi, the closest I've found is from Asda, they do pickled ginger too, which I like. Wouldn't mind going to a sushi bar.

Hersheys isn't chocolate, its a trick that was played on the Americans by the Europeans centries ago and they still haven't caught on.

I would love to try exporting Marmite and Bovril to America to see some reactions to it. If I ever go again, I'm taking a couple of large tubs and doing street tests for fun

Green Monster Energy
We got that half a year ago =D

Let's see:
About everything at the Sweden-Norway Border candy stores.

Human flesh. I know some African countries have it. But it's hard to get here without the police hassling you.

Dear America.

What the fuck is a Twinky?

Calumon: PS: Are Froot loops nice?

The twinkie is man's arrogant attempt to perfect the snack cake. Some lines should never have been crossed.

J2O.

I hate that we don't have it in Canada, it's an amazing drink.

 

[Diligent]

The only thing I can think of are burger shops we don't get in Canada, like White Castle and Carl's Jr.
If only just to try them once.

 

[SilverStrike]

I want waffle houses and maple butter in the UK.
Maple butter is like the syrup only.. you can spread it on bread or put it on waffles and stuff and its gorgeously good.

 

[Michael Logan]

Some of the stuff I hear about on Psych, of course I cant think of a single example right now.

 

[Double A]

Tim-Tams, other than the winter months.

They sell them here about three months a year. I fail to see how they can't do it longer.

 

[Acryllos]

Man, I'm pretty sure it exists somewhere in Ontario, I just can't find any...
But I could use some really,really,really,really, tasty, sweet, flaky, rich, AUTHENTIC baklava...
