    Pickles as we know them in the US are surprisingly uncommon in much of the rest of the world. You'd be hard pressed to find even a single giant spicy dill pickle in a bag at a gas station anywhere else, much less a dozen different varieties.

    The overrepresentation of candy probably has more to do with margin, sell through, and the fact it basically doesn’t expire.

    Fat Nats where I am is a great fuckng diner (I think it's regional) and also the best service I've ever gotten, I tipped twenty dollars. Seating for fifty and one fucking waitress and I never once had to ask for anything. I'd finish my coffee and she'd be right there to fill me back up, and then two minutes later somehow be back in time for a refill on another person at my table's coffee. Diner waitresses don't fuck around, I had to walk up to her after we paid and tell her I was at that point a decade in the industry and I had never seen service like that, she was omniscient and may or may not have had teleportation powers as well

    parent root
    28 points InvisibleShities

    It’s a kosher salt that’s very popular with hobbyist home cooks (and professionals too, I imagine). If you look at a recipe from NYT Cooking, there’s a 75% chance it will specifically recommend Diamond Crystal salt rather than just “salt.”

    It’s a good salt, higher quality than Morton’s, and it’s a lot more forgiving, too. It’s not nearly as, uh, salty, as other table salts so it’s hard to over-salt with it.

    parent root

    The reason it's not as salty is they use larger/flakier crystals, so they don't pack as densely when measured by volume. Weight for weight I believe they're pretty interchangeable.

    Theyre Irish. The whitest of white people. Slap Yo Momma would kill them.

    If you’re from the DelMarVa part of the US you have Old Bay next to your salt and pepper shakers

    Lol I am and I sure do. Pro tip, if you ever see old bay goldfish, get them! Amazing and highly addictive!! Just make sure you have a gallon of water on standby

    Which actually made me realize even though Ireland is an island I can't really think of any Irish seafood dishes.

    Not bad. From what I can see everything is actually an American brand. Not mixed in with knock off things we’ve never heard of.

    Yeah and I would stand by most of these things too honestly. If you're gonna pick one cereal to represent us, I'm on board with it being Cinnamon Toast Crunch!

    Most expats would be looking for Kraft Mac n Cheese. I buy Annie's but I would choose Kraft over whatever that is.

    Definitely some American all-stars here, but they definitely biffed it by offering anything but Kraft Mac and Cheese.

    I wish I could get Velveeta tbh; I always eat it when I go visit the US. Brought some back in my carry on once (it's TSA approved!) and made shells for my German roommate and his mind was fucking blown. He looked like he was having a religious experience.

    I’m American living in the UK and I’m seriously eyeing that Jiffy cornbread mix 😭 And that coffee creamer- I have to order it on Amazon because it does not exist here in south wales 😭

    The Jiffy cornbread mix is the only Jiffy mix worth buying and is very multi-use. Makes everything from muffins to pancakes and is very cheap in the US, about $3 per 240gm box.

    Accurate. Stubbs is an excellent BBQ sauce.

    The onion soup mixes are good for hamburger, and meatloaf seasoning. Sucks they don't have the onion mushroom one. And why is baking soda in the american selection?

    I know this is a joke but lots of grocery stores in the US carry Irish tea like Barry's and Kerrygold butter.

    Always with the strawberry Fluff. I live near the Fluff capital of the world and I’ve never seen strawberry, but somehow it seems to be in every American section outside the US.

    Decent! It looks like it was curated by someone who's actually been to an American grocery store, or might otherwise know an American.

    Of course it's all going to be junk. It's not like they're going to have carrots and chicken thighs in the American section, those are just regular groceries.

    Get goldfish and put them in soup, particularly tomato soup.🤤

    An entire row of Reece’s seems appropriate.

    I’m a bit surprised by the fluff. That seems pretty niche even in parts of the US.
