International food exchange! OH WHAT FUN!

Stew and Bacon and Cabbage!

I have a Welsh cookbook from which I could send a few traditional welsh dishes.. I don't think I'll bless you with the lovely "Katt Pie" that my Nan used to make when I was tiny though! Unless you're a fan of mutton?

Welsh Cakes have been a big hit with everyone I know who's tried them though, and they're not too difficult to make.

Pavlova! Although I guess it's not really that big a deal considering it's just baked egg whites with cream and fruit but Pavlova ROCKS!

 

[Lyri]

hey, anyone ever had Welsh Rarebit? 😉

 

[Rebecca]

I reckon most people have had rarebit without realising. Unless they don't eat cheese that is.

 

[Vicariously]

ok now I have to know what a rarebit is.

If anybody wants my daddy's recipe for chitterlings, just let me know. Unfortunately, he took his recipe for Brunswick stew to the grave with him.

 

[Blondie Bear]

I have brownie and cookie recipes. . . . And I know how to make absolutely nothing Hawaiian except Spam Musubi and sushi, both of which you need special stuff for, and musubi (esp. with Spam) tends to gross out people who aren't used to it.

*marches off singing "Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam wonderful Spam" . . .*)

I Think they do have Pumpernickel in the US but what about Milchschnitte, Fruchtzwerge or Halloren...

I hate to be a wet blanket 'cos this sounds like fun, but watch out when sending foodstuffs abroad that you don't fall afoul of import restrictions on things like meat-based products...most countries have them...this sort of thing used to be part of my job so I'll hunt around to see if I can come up with links...I wouldn't want anyone to get into trouble.

Edit - here's something from US Customs - Bringing Agricultural Products Into the United States - CBP.gov

and here is something from the UK Customs (there are links to other UK agencies which give more detailed info) - http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsPortalWebApp/channelsPortalWebApp.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=pageTravel_ShowContent&propertyType=document&resetCT=true&id=HMCE_PROD_008618

Man I know i'm getting old when I think of the same things as Pointy j/k!

I had issues when trying to send chocolate to Buffy Summers. There are some ingredients that are in UK chocolate that is illegal in the US, hence the reason it tastes so different.

Same reason twinkies are not sold here there is something in the synthetic cream that is not allowed here, didn't stop me from smuggling them back in a case though!

Oh yeah, Halloren, I forgot about them (they taste so great)
Your other suggestions are great in theory, but I don't think we could send them, they'd go bad too quickly.

Oh, and about the forbidden substances: i was thinking about chocolate with alcohol in it, is that possible or not? I heard they weren't allowed to sell any in the US

I just checked the sites (a few of them I could only look at the picture though) and we only have 1 of them over here and they're Toffifee's which I absolutely love! I don't quite know wht the "Kartoffelkloß" is though.. as I couldn't read about it and in it's picture it looks like potatoes in a pan?
All the others look good though!!

 

[SpikedBuffy]

Yes BEG, we still have Lucky Charms over here in good 'ol America. We have about 18 bazillion kinds of cereals now. It's crazy!

What about Pop-tarts? Are they sold in other countries? Because those are good too!
