The Swede and I just got back from our usual grocery store where we discovered for the very first time a tiny, hidden shelf in the foreign food aisle with the most random selection of American foods I can imagine. Nacho cheese sauce, root beer, maple syrup, Butterfingers and Hunt's spaghetti sauce, among other American treats. I was able to resist everything except the Hunt's, which is, I daresay, America's chintziest spaghetti sauce, but which sounded totally amazing to me. And I was right. It was the most familiar, delicious thing I've eaten in ages.
I would love to see a photo of the american foreign food section! Please, oh please...
ReplyDeleteI'll try to remember next time we're there. I think you'd get a kick out of what they consider "American".
