Key Highlights :

1. American cuisine is often considered a mystery to those in other countries, but there are some things you can get in the US that you can't get anywhere else.

2. Soft corn tortillas are impossible to find, no decent salsa — they've never even heard of green chili or tomatillo salsa.

3. Bagels. Especially an everything bagel. Lightly toasted with cream cheese. And a cup of Dunkin Donuts hazelnut coffee to wash it down.

4. I live in the UK and I miss Tostito's salsa con queso on the regular, and Barq's root beer. You can sometimes pick up a can of A&W at a store for like three times the price, but never Barq’s!

5. When I was stationed in Asia, I went to sleep thinking about how much I wanted Americanized Chinese food.

6. My sister lived in Greece for a year and has been living in New Zealand for the past five years. Whenever she comes to the USA to visit she can’t get enough of Miss Vickie’s chips and the Buckee's gas station (we live in Texas).

7. I Moved to the UK five years ago and I really miss boxed mac 'n' cheese and Girl Scout cookies. Also, graham crackers aren’t a thing here, so you can’t make real s’mores.

8. I'm from the US and recently presented at a conference in the UK. I had brought Reese's cups to pass out. After my presentation one of the attendees approached me and said she had been living there for 8 months and missed American Reese's, so I was able to give her the rest of the bag. Apparently the UK version just isn't the same.

9. Britain has some great food, but I missed a few American foods. Peanut butter there is just not the same, and Spanish oranges don't hold a candle to a good Florida orange.

10. I miss having a big bowl of Cheerios for breakfast.

11. Fried green tomatoes.

12. tacos!! It’s nearly impossible to get decent tacos in England.

13. SO MANY THINGS! Duke's Mayo is probably my #1. No good Southerner can go without it.

14. I also really miss Andes Mints and York Peppermint Patties.

15. American Garlic Bread.

16. I miss having a big bowl of Cheerios for breakfast.

17. Fried green tomatoes.

18. Tacos!!
