Food culture: BATTLE AMERICA vs. SWEDEN

[sealwhiskers]

One of the most common things people ask you if you're an expat, living in a new country, is what kind of foods you like or dislike in the new place and what kinds of food you miss the most from your old home. In many ways I was surprised to discover that I missed certain things and not other, it didn't always coincide with what I had anticipated

Love this post--I want to try some of that Kaviar squeezy stuff.

And--where are you now?! Because I have discovered some dill chips here in the US. If you are in the US, I could send them to you and you could tell me if they were at all like Swedish ones.

Ooh, are they the Kettle dill chips? They used to carry them at Whole Foods, but then they stopped. :( Those were damn good!

I'm in the US until mid April and then I'll be back in June. That would be lovely of you, I'll buy you a tube of caviar in Sweden and return the favor!

(we can message each other privately about addresses)

Yes, kettle cooked! (Oh: but not Kettle brand, if that's what you mean, though wow, yes, I LOVE Kettle brand potato chips, esp. their Spicy Thai flavor)

I will PM you.

Yay! Cultural exhange!! You will have to fill out a whole questionnaire before I buy your kaviar in Sweden, in order for me to figure out which kind of kaviar would suit you the best!

LOL, I'm game--ask away!

lol, but you do that with ALL caviar, they look similar, but they have different mildness grades and flavoring.
