    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.

    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.

    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…

    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.

    Probably just the swiss chocolate in the Holls chocolates I get for some holidays. The bonbons/truffles themselves are made in Vienna…West Virginia.

    I can find alternatives with enough effort, but I love me some heavy peated Scotch. The smokier the flavor the better
