Forums General Chit-Chat I tried Graham Crackers for the first time (& other American snacks)
@Totalanimefan: Not in the US xD so generally our selection isn't as vast as the US gets

@Totalanimefan: I almost feel like it depends where you shop, like when I've been down in Portland visiting my boyfriend we've had times where we can't find vanilla coke at Wal-mart but it's at Target or Safeway.
That's very possible though, and I don't know if there have been supply chain issues with it at all.
But yeah, one thing I've definitely noticed about the difference between home and the States is the amount of variety available in US supermarkets is astounding xD

@Totalanimefan: Yup, it's still around, at least in Oregon!
I'm surprised FL and CA would be that different, but I guess different coasts maybe different tastes/demographics?
I've only really spent time in Washington and Oregon because of where my boyfriend lives, and the biggest thing I notice is how small the international food sections are compared to what I'm used to at home - but they both have pretty good sized Mexican food sections, which is just fine by me!!
I know one thing that really surprised me is how difficult it is to find plum sauce in the grocery stores we were shopping in because there aren't a lot of Asian foods. We might have better luck in Oregon than we did in Central Washington though xDD

@Totalanimefan: Yeah, pretty far! Definitely enough that preferences are gonna be different. This is completely an assumption, but I would suspect more Cuban things in Florida and more Mexican things in Cali.
I also appreciate when places have a good international section, I also get tired of "white people food", LMAO. I need variety in my food, I need all the different yummy flavours.
Hmm, hoisin wouldn't be the same as plum sauce. And to be fair I wanted plum sauce for dipping chicken strips in xD I'm not a big fan of fish or fish flavoured things, so I wouldn't go for oyster sauce myself. Mmm...I wouldn't add MSG to anything, don't need any extra sodium. Although I don't really know what the purposes of adding it to dishes is XD

@Totalanimefan: The grocery stores where I'm from typically have pretty decent international food sections. The one I shop at actually has separate Asian food and Mexican food aisles. No issue finding plum sauce at home, it's in the US I can't find it - my boyfriend wanted some after trying it while he was visiting me.
I'd never looked, but I think there are a few H marts around, but it sounds like there's only 3 of them in the entire metropolitan area I live in, and none of them are close to me XDD

@Totalanimefan: Haha, I have no trouble finding plum sauce in the grocery store I regularly shop in. It's my boyfriend that can't find it (we don't live in the same country)
Maple
heyyyy I currently have angry digestive system issues specifically caused by flaming hot cheetos (with lime) \o/
Hahahaha
but yeah I think there's a bunch of onion powder in a lot of our crispy treats, like that.
Next maybe you ought to try candied yams! That's that baked yam (or sweet potato) dish with a layer of marshmallows on top XD
@Totalanimefan: He's in the US, which I thought I had mentioned a couple of times ^^; I'm not
Might be my bad, i thought i had said when we were visiting each other, but maybe I forgot. I've been trying to be kinda vague about my own location and i guess it's led to confusion. I'm in Canada and my boyfriend is in the US.

@Totalanimefan: All good! I'll try and be clearer next time too, sorry about the confusion!
Graham crackers rock.
I also love Goldfish crackers, though I like the "Colors" variety best; they're colored with vegetable dyes (all natural!) and it gives them more flavor as a happy by-product.
Cheez-Its are a similar snack that I really enjoy as well. I actually prefer the "Reduce Fat" variety as they have a more satisfying crunch in my opinion!
@sunny: 
, Flaming Hot Cheetos!! You should try Flaming Hot Cheetos con (with) a squeeze of lime or lemon to decrease the onion after taste.
Have you tried regular Cheetos or the puff version?
Girl Scout Cookies are good too. They only come out during a certain season & people save up money to buy them. My favorite cookies from them are Samoas® & Toffee-tastic®.
