Peelable gummy mangos which I think are originally from Japan, but I’ve got so many tiktoks from Americans trying a local brand a few weeks ago. I’ve looked in the local Asian stores, but none of them carried them.
You can find just about anything in gourmet online shops and on Amazon.
The only thing I can’t get in Bucharest is a drink – Affogato – and this is very easy to make at home, but yes, it would be nice to be able to order it at a cafe.
Twinkies. So far all the american candies that I have tried have been disappointments, so I don’t expect them to be all that. But it would be nice to have tried them just to know what they actually taste like.
Cockta is a very tasty soda made in Slovenia and popular in the former Yugoslavia. i very much enjoyed it and would definitely buy it pretty often if it was sold where i live.
As a fan of mixing chocolate and orange, I’d like to try chocolate oranges. I guess you can find them online but not in stores here. They are like oranges with wedges and everything but covered in chocolate. They have them in the UK for example.
I had the most perfect fizzy lemonade at the Naples archaeology museum bar, there was a sort of elaborate lion’s head on the bottle, but I forgot the brand. I tried to buy some online when I could still remember the brand but was left wanting :(((
I’d like to try fresh mochi and daifuku, cannolis, fresh tropical fruits in the places they grow in and the American snack cakes that are called Snowballs I think
Coca Cola Vanilla. It’s my favourite soda and you can’t get it anywhere in Finland, except maybe in those silly ”America” sections for 5 Euros a can.
We only have the Zero version of vanilla coke, and Coke Zero tastes like ass.
Same goes for Fanta Exotic. Only sugar free these days and it tastes completely different.
Stop making sodas sugar free! If i want a healthy beverage, i’ll get water or milk. If i want a sweet treat, it better taste good.
There’s so so so much. I live in Norway and am vegan, so coming to any other country is always wonderful, shopping weird vegan snacks is a highlight of thr trip. Was in Riga last week and had these amazing refriigerated cherry, vanilla, and chocolate bars.
Norway is a food desert (also for omnis) and has 0 food culture, so be warned and bring stuff when you visit
According to Wikipedia it’s a “chocolate taffy candy that has been manufactured in the United States since 1907 [and] has qualities similar to both caramels and taffy without being exactly either”. Apparently it was included in soldiers’ rations during WW1 and WW2 to boost energy and morale. And according to redditors in another subreddit (maybe AskReddit?) it tastes like chocolate water with a splash of coffee water. Without being exactly either…
Romanian here, I really want to try Reese’s puffs, most of them are imported and their prices are very high (around 12 USD/62 RON + 4USD/20 RON shipping)
Not exactly a snack, but I would really like to try Hidden Valley Ranch from the US. I heard lots of good things about it but it’s not sold here in Poland and the ones that are available to buy from outside are like 40€.
When I was in Sweden, I bought a pack of Ahlgrens Bilar Original (I’m using the full name since I don’t know how you guys call them there), and wow, it was really good!
I’ve never found them in Portugal, there are sweets similar in style, but they don’t taste the same 🙁
I don’t want to try them, I just want to eat approximately 9T of timtams. They are an Australian chocolate sweet with crisp “cookies” around a ganache center and I have not found them outside of Australia, ever :/
Chimney cake. I had one when I was staying in Georgia and that stuff is the bees knees. I’ve been looking for a place that serves them ever since I came back but appearently it’s mainly an ex-east bloc kinda thing, and it’s just not really available here. there’s some places that serve it but either as part of a desert and generally not in the eastern european way.
I wanted to try a buch of US snacks and found a store specialising in my city. Got stuf like reese’s; poptarts and twinkies, but honestly it only turned me off from US candy altoghether. It’s all ridicoulously sweet to the point that that’s the only flavour you’re getting.
I want to try the Italian chocolate that has a shot of espresso in it. Pocket coffee? I know I can buy it on Amazon in Australia but it’s insanely expensive

I think most things are available, if you find the one specialty store that charges triple.

Luikse wafels!!!!! I can make them but… They are not sold anywhere and for Brussels wafels not with toppings!!!!

I’m curious about trying something (could be soda or syrup or whatever) that’s waldmeister flavoured, since we don’t really use that flavour here.
I know Germany has some stuff that uses it, but I haven’t had the chance to try it yet.

I want to try a candy that I had on vacation in Italy when I was a kid. But I don’t know the name or if they even make them anymore.
I crave a proper, real stroopwaffel so much, but I haven’t been in Netherlands for years. maybe a trip is due.

Salt water taffy. Seen it in Friends, always wanted to try it!

Musk-flavoured sweets. I only found out that’s a thing after I left Australia, and the curiosity is killing me!

American chocolate. I’ve heard it tastes horrible!
I want to try the Hungarian Langos, I will be very happy the day I can try a Hungarian Langos.

Túró Rudi, a curd in chocolate bar popular in Hungary.
Tootsie Rolls!

Bubbaloo bubblegum… I was OBSESSED with that stuff when I was little, after a few trips to Mexico – I just want to see if it still holds up

Sometimes I crave these thick soft cereal bars they sell in the UK…I even forgot the name…
Japanese Kit Kat and Häagen-Dazs exclusive flavors.
Salted caramel eclair i tried in a bar in Fountaibleu (sorry if there is a typo) near Paris, wow… just wow.

Hot sauce was great though.
