Missing all the delicious foods you discovered on your travels.

by chompermom

I'm an American, and in the last 10 years I have lived in Belize, Canada, Germany and France, with time back home in Arkansas in between. One of the things that sucks about being an ex-pat is missing food from home like peanut butter and Cheetos! But one of the worst things about coming home again is missing the delicious foods you discover elsewhere like German sausages, fresh ripe fruit from Belize, French pate and creme de cassis, and freshly caught salmon. While you can buy some things in the store, or reinvent them for yourself in your home country, there will always be little differences in taste and quality that make you miss the real thing.

so right about the food
by: GoSouthExpat

Food is one of the things I really miss when I move somewhere else too. Maybe it's cuz I love cooking so much. Still, when I find a recipe I really love I sort of get stuck in a rut and cook it over and over LOL.

And when you can get the foods you love somewhere else overseas (or at the online expat stores) they're incredibly expensive! I mean $10 for a can of Campbells tomato soup - yikes!

Germany, France, Belize - you must have an AWESOME recipe collection! I'm a really HUGE fan of French onion soup - any chance you have a real authentic French recipe?

Pretty pleeeeeze!
