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

I adore this post.I want to go to Sweden even more now.

Funny, you can get dill chips in more places now, but I've noticed that despite everything being easier or more available in the past, different regions still have a bigger hand on varieties---so dill chips are EVERYWHERE up in the Midwest, you can get Old Bay/crab chips---but only in Maryland, PA,NJ, it seems.

Hey darling, have you seen my Dill Chips ENVY lately? I have it something BAD against all you blessed people in other regions! Hmm..crab chips sounds really good too..wonder if they are anything like the Chinese shrimp chips..

Or at least some in kettle form--I bet I can. Also, goign to the Midwest soon, so I'll keep my eyes open while I'm there.

Also---YES with the Turkish pizza.MMMM,I remember that fromthe Imbisses in Germany. Luckily, there's a Turkish spot here that has something very similar. :)

Yes! The Germans and actually various places in Europe have the very thin crusted and topping filled kinds of pizza I adore.
