An article in http://www.emigrant.ie/ , a highly entertaining site, discussed the difficulty of finding certain items in Ireland that are readily obtainable in the US. Since one of the secondary purposes of AUE is to discuss food, the following snippet listing what one traveller brought back may be germane. I wonder how difficult it is to find these items in the UK.
Here's a fairly comprehensive list of what she got, and I've accompanied this column with a photo for added proof, lest you have any doubts. In no specific order, she brought home (to Ireland): Levolor light filtering, custom sized window shades; (New!) Nestlé Toll House candy bars; Nabisco Chewy Chips Ahoy; Hormel Pepperoni; Keebler Rainbow Chips Deluxe; Nyquil; Kellogg's Pop-tarts (brown sugar, cinnamon); Nestlé hot cocoa mix; Ray's New York Bagels (plain, onion, cinnamon/raisin); Smucker's jelly beans; Mennen Speed Stick anti-perspirant; black jeans; Pillsbury Brownie Mix; assorted Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookie mixes and Brownie mixes; Hershey's Mini Robin Eggs; assorted Betty Crocker Bisquick Complete mixes; Nestlé Coffee-Mate (French Vanilla); medium white plain corn meal; Chef Boyardee Cheese Pizza mix and (New!) Deep Dish Meals mix; and, last but not least, a Safety Gate Hook & Eye.

The only thing I'd want on that list might be Ray's New York bagels, assuming that they're actually made and sold fresh in New York instead of made in some factory in Kansas, frozen, and then shipped around the USA with a misleading label.

[nq:1] I've mentioned before that I have a minor addiction to Tootsie Roll, which are unknown in Europe, so I always bring some home from US visits.[/nq]
Does that mean that Europeans live lives without
any Tootsie Roll Pops? They never have the
experience of sucking on the bright, hard cherry,
or orange, or chocolate candy coating until it is
so thin that you can bite down and

[nq:1]WERE readily available. When we lived in Spain, I would always ask visitors from the states to bring some of those big fat crunchy sourdough pretzels.[/nq]
I'm not getting these pretzel references. Around here, pretzels are famous for going stale within hours of being baked.

Not enough preservatives! Here in the US our baked goods have so many preservatives, embalmers are being put out of business.
