Dutch chocolate which is very good, and uses a slavery-free supply chain.
But not a lead free chain

Damn. Pick your battles I guess, I’ll die of lead poisoning to keep people free
Twinings (UK version) Extra Strong Breakfast Tea with Digestives dark chocolate biscuits.
Chianti Classico from Italy. It’s just soooooo smooth.
Preparing EU exit tariffs for the upcoming trade war with the US?
In that case, fancy wines that rich people buy.
German chocolate is like a whole other food than the wax that Hershey’s pretends is the real thing.
Soapy-tasting wax, at that.
I’m trying to think of the last food item I’ve eaten that was made in Europe, without success.
European sardines are VASTLY superior to most of the stuff you get in the US
I don’t think there’s any food product from Europe that I regularly consume.
Now, Mexico and South America, on the other hand…
Same. But I did enjoy some of it. There was some local spring water in Bosnia that was awesome, cevapcici is cool, and I enjoyed the Georgian wine I had in Ukraine. Also the Netherlands’ food surprised me. I loved everything I tried, especially bitterballen and mustard soup.
Every time I go to Mexico, one of the first things I do is get tacos! I NEEEED EM!!!
Croissants (made here but I think of them as so French)
Good cheese (there is some great cheese being made here but in Europe they make different ones and they are so, so delicious)
Cava wine, the Raventos Blanco Blanco de Blancos Vino Cava holy crap that stuff is so good it convinced me wine can be simply delicious on its own.
Most of it… Last trip I took to Europe, I was staying in an airB&B in Iceland with a few friends, and it had a kitchen. I went to the Bonus (local grocer) and got bread, cheese, eggs, and butter and made a simple fried egg sandwich for breakfast every day. Best damn food ive ever made for myself.
We dont have good cheap bread state side, cheese product is most of whats on the shelves and Euro eggs were just better. It took about a week after coming home for random food items to stop tasting like plastic…
Danish butter cookies are pretty awesome
Monster munch! Currently my fav snack.
Cheese, cured and uncured dried meats, dairy…actual food standards that protect consumers and aren’t pumped full of antibiotics, they just taste so much better.
I’m good as long as Scotland and Lagavulin isn’t back in EU.
Seitenbacher Museli is delicious too.
But you can make a kick ass veg broth with scraps, dried shitake, and a piece of kombu.
And the Museli I can also make at home.
