My mum got a twinkie as a novelty from her work because they make some e-numbers for it and it tasted... bizarre. Like, it had that awful fake cream flavour, really sweet and it was salty somehow? Worse than any other supermarket caje I've had... I wasn't expecting the salt. American bread is weirdly sweet too.
>>
>>7997537

The Jack Links beef jerky is pretty good, haven't tried anything else as I don't have much of a sweet tooth and most of it looks sweet.

Tried the Hershey stuff that people get so autistic about, just tasted like chocolate. Don't see the issue with it, but don't see why you would buy it over the normal offerings either.

It's not just in the American section for convenience sake, Huy Fong is an American company that uses American ingredients and sells primarily to American consumers.

I get the Snyders pieces sometimes (except the cheese one) but that's it.

I'm considering buying a Hershey bar as a joke gift for someone who likes to bore everyone by talking about how American chocolate is bad.

>>8000509
International sections are divided into smaller sections like a library. Jewish foods are usually grouped with other Jewish foods, Mexican foods with other Mexican foods, Asian foods with other Asian foods, etc. It's not unreasonable to assume that many markets have a cluster of indentifiably American products which you could call an American section. Even if that selection is half a shelf long with just poptarts and peanutbutter that would still qualify as a 'section'.
>>
Up until they started selling them like normal chips, Doritos.
>>
>>8000528
They're not made to be good, they're made to appease massive groups of braindead fatties. Never seen a healthy person in this country buy any of it, sorry for it's existence.

I was born in the US and spent my summers there, but I grew up and live in France. So I'll sometimes get a soda, mostly Dr Pepper, and maple syrup, if it's sometimes cheaper than the local options. Or I might buy something I haven't seen in the stores here before and I want to show my friends but I haven't previously had the chance to bring some back from a trip to the US.


>>7998466

>>
>>7997954
skippy is shit, jif is better, and calve is good, just less sweet than either. you can get skippy at makro and a number of tokos though if you really want to try it.
pop tarts are dry as fuck kid food, but if you can find the brown sugar cinnamon ones they aren't bad.

I've bought cherry and vanilla coke. I also once bought a drink called "Bob Marley's Mellow Mood". Once bought some American chocolate but it tasted awful, and what I have heard from other Europeans American chocolate is pretty bad.

They replaced the America self in my local store with a Russia self.
>>
>>7997537
I try various things. Twinkies have been on my list since Ghostbusters and they are an abomination. Reicies Peanutbutter Cups are nice. Grape Drink is meh. 3 Musketeers is just a Milkyway and the Milkyway is just a Mars bar.

>>
>>8000743
It's expensive here too. Like 5€ for an itty bitty bag. it's good though.

I'm saying that the jerky has migrated off from the "Yankee aisle" and next to beer aisle, along with salt sticks, mini salamis and things like that.

True

>Jewish foods are usually grouped with other Jewish foods, Mexican foods with other Mexican foods, Asian foods with other Asian foods, etc.
I'm in Australia and I've never seen a special Jewish or Mexican section. Or an American section for that matter.
I see Mediteranean, Middle Eastern, Indian, and a few different Asians (Vietnamese, Mongolian, etc). all in the International isle. Granted, I very rarely walk down that isle but I'm sure I've never seen anything like an American section.

Things that you might consider as American like peanut butter and such are just in the regular designated isles. Nothing stands out as being specifically American, and anything that might would be made locally. Like peanut butter. There's no reason to import peanut butter from as far as away as America.
There's salsa dip in the snacks isle but it's not labeled as Mexican food.

Sorry.

I mean austraila is more in line with us food wise, as we eat similar shit. An american section is probably more common in Continental Europe, rather than in the Anglosphere

I wouldn't regularly buy anything, but I do love White Fudge Flipz and have bought them occasionally (once or twice a year)

I'm not ashamed to admit that I've bought Kraft Macaroni & Cheese before as well. It might not taste like real mac & cheese should, but that's the point, it has it's own unique taste that's just delicious.

>>8005201
It's your meme, just like baseball and handegg.
>>
>>8000743
>>8000761

Jerky, rather dried dehydrated meats in general, are pretty expensive due to the time factor and quantity of meat required to produce something that is to become less than 50% of original weight.
>>
>>8005242
>quantity of meat required to produce something that is to become less than 50% of original weight.

This. Meat is more than 70% water. Thus it takes several pounds of meat to make only one pound of jerky.

...and I'm sure that it's getting a hefty markup for being a specialty imported food too
>>
>>8005219

When I lived in Germany I brought some german friends on base to go to the commissary and the only thing they wanted was peanut butter, oreos and turkey. We went to taco bell afterwards and they had no idea what any of the food was so I had to order for them.

>>7998342
That's not true at all you idiot. You are truely an idiot

The only thing I buy out of the american sections is root beer
>>
>>7997537
Peanut butter and maple syrup (there is no dedicated Canadian shelf).
>>
>>7997537
I still don't know why they fill up the American section with candy, drinks, and pop.
>>
>>8006142
I still don't understand why an "american section" exists in the first place. Where do you even live?
>>
>>8006145
Probably not in America? I don't live in Asia, and my grocery store has an Asian section.
>>
Pancake mix for when I'm too high to actually make some, DrPepper to mix with shitty whiskey.
>>
>>8000400
On that note, what kind of "international" sections do non-Americans have in their supermarkets?

In New England we generally have Asian, Mexican, and UK/Irish, or UK/European. Sometimes an "Italian" section will also be labeled near the international section, but it's mostly American food used in Italian American food, not international imports.
>>
>>8006151
I live in europe and my grocery store doesn't have any continent or country sections.

>>8006180
That's unfortunate. Maybe you should file a complaint.

>>8006189
Why is it unfortunate?
>>
>>8006170
It varies by what ethnicities you have around you and where those ethnicities are willing and able to shop.

I live in a highly multiethnic area.
Two of the four chain supermarkets here have nice ethnic sections (the other two have Old El Paso taco kits and Maruchan ramen in their 'international' section, no joke).
Of the good two, one carries a lot of Caribbean, Maghrebi, West African and Indonesian goods along with Mexican stuff. The other carries Turkish, Israeli/Palestinian, 'Jewish' (though it's all Ashkenazi and all American) and Mexican stuff.
The Walmart quite a ways away carries a number of Indian/Pakistani imports as well as Indonesian things.
Another chain supermarket just 15 minutes away has an ENORMOUS Polish section and a smaller one catering specifically to Haitians.

No supermarket here carries anything Western European, which gives me quite the sad.

Despite having a huge Southeast Asian population, SEAs other than Indonesians don't shop at chain supermarkets here for some reason, so they don't carry anything for them.
>>
>>7998488
>poptarts are godtier
I imported a 16-pack of chocolate chip ones.
It tasted of cheap nutella, slightly sour pastry and cheap.

From the regular section, mainly pop tarts and those fudge covered white pretzel things

If my friend is importing for his shop n offering me at cost I get Oreo creme brownies (grossly sickening but man I love em) peanut butter m&ms and mint oreos

I'm sure some American will come along and tell me it's actually the worst brand of it, but I find Skippy's far superior to and "British" peanut butter, which I always find is chalky and tasteless. So I don't mind paying the extra couple pounds on that.
>>
>>7998060
I really wish root beer was more common here. I love the stuff but I can only get it once in a while.
>>
>>8006307
I know that one. The fox bought peanut butter a few times but every time it was this strange fatty salty shit that couldn't really be used for anything and once it even had these annoying chinks in it. So the fox decided not to bother with it anymore, there's plenty of other ways to get calories.

Fluff is WAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to sweet for my tastes, but I can see the appeal if you like very, very sweet things.
While I've never had it, I hear peanut butter and fluff sandwiches are popular among USican children.

And before anyone starts talking shit about Ameribros eating candy for lunch, remember that we do it, too. The fuck you think Nutella is?
>>
>>8006382
>I hear peanut butter and fluff sandwiches are popular among USican children.
Maybe in the 1970's are somewhere in the midwest.
Here in Florida we only use marshmallow fluff as raccoon bait, and anyone found mixing peanut butter with anything that isn't grape jelly is executed on the spot.

the american section in a non-american grocery store is only a very small sample of the offerings at any american grocery store. of course they don't stock meat/dairy/fruit/veg, etc. the shit you see is a handful of junk foods that the non-american store thought their community might buy, not what most americans actually eat on a daily basis.
>>
>>8007496
>the shit you see is a handful of junk foods that the non-american store thought their community might buy
Incorrect. Those items are on the shelf because the corporations that make those products paid that supermarket company to put those items on the shelf, hoping that their product will catch on in a new overseas market.
Source: I know things.
>>
>>8007535
you may be correct on that point, but reason for what is on the shelves aside, it is still not the kind of shit that most americans eat on a daily basis.

>Mexican foods with other Mexican foods,
Check your privilege please. Mexican foods are grouped with other Hispanic/ Latin foods, not all South and central Americans are Mexican.

>. Nothing stands out as being specifically American,

Thats because people are dumb and thats every country. If you look in any countries section of your countries food its probably greatly reduced and commercialized. A real American food isle would include:

Lousiana Creole/ Cajun food
American southern BBQ (which can't really have an aisle anyways because its mostly things like fresh corn, potato salad, 12 hour smoked ribs etc)
>California cuisine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_cuisine
>New England cuisine
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuisine_of_New_England
>The traditional things that everyone eats like Hamburgers, hotdogs, texmex tacos, spaghetti, regional things like lobster rolls, philadelphia cheesesteak sandwhiches, and the incorporated things which are commonly eaten as takeout like chinese food, burritos, delivery pizza.

The things you would find in an isle are just the commercialized junk food desu and not actual meals.

None of the supermarkets here have any region-specific aisles, all products are put into aisles according to what they are, not where they were made.
>>
>>7997537
I have eaten nerds. m&ms, and I think I have had the purple Goober.

They're a bit weird sometimes.
Like, the pic related is from Tesco where you can get shit fairly reasonably priced.

But like, Pop Tarts are readily available in all cereal aisles anyway often for much cheaper and have been for fucking years.

Reeces Pieces and Hershey's are now produced in Europe anyway so we can get them super cheap and almost anywhere.

And more and more American import shops are popping up.

American stuff is interesting cause generally speaking, British and European confection is just better. But there's certainly lots of interesting American favourites. Lots of peanut butter stuff and things like candy corn are pretty unique and nice to have.

>>But like, Pop Tarts are readily available in all cereal aisles anyway often for much cheaper and have been for fucking years.

That same kind of thing happens in the US. For example, in my local supermarket I can find Colman's mustard in the "English" import section...but it's also found in the normal mustard section. The same is true for various other foods as well.

>>British and European confection is just better
I agree. As am American I'm puzzled that you would even want most of those products I see in "American Sections".

Then again, I wonder if you feel the same way about the "Brit Section" that we have?
>>
>>8015220
I'd say a big majority in the American sections haven't had too much thought put into them. Maybe it's just stuff that the stores can most easily get their hands on.

Fluff, rootbeer, twinkies, Reeces Pieces, Pop Tarts, Taffy, Hersheys and MIke & Ikes are all fairly popular or at least a novelty in some cases.

The rest is just sort of there for some reason.
>>
>>8015220
What sort of things do you usually find in Brit sections?
>>
>>8015249
The thinks I can recall of the top of my head:
Sarson's vinegar, Colman's mustard, Branston pickle, HP sauce, Major Grey chutney
Lucozade, Irn Bru, Robinson's squash, Ribena
Various biscuits (walker's), Rowntree candy, weetabix. Bird's custard mix. Paxo stuffing. Clotted cream, Lemon curd.

...and probably a bunch more than I'm forgetting.
>>
>>8015252

...a few things I forgot:
Heinz beans in the teal-blue can. A few kinds of tea like Tetley & PG tips (though we also have the same brands in our normal tea section). "Indian" products--usually Patak's, Sharwood, or both. Bisto. Various Cadbury's biscuits/candy. Marmite. Bovril (if one is lucky).
>>
>>8006170
My nearest super market in Amsterdam has 1 'international' aisle. It had mostly Asian products (Japanese, Indian, Korean, but mainly Indonesian). There's also Mexican, Caribbean and Middle Eastern food. And then there's like 3 types of soda and some marshmallows from the US.

Out here in SoCal, there's naturally a large Mexican aisle/section in every store. More than just taco shells and sauce of course. It's where you get your masa and such.

Usually there's a fair sized pan-Asian section as well, with a mix of Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Thai noodles, sauces, and ingredients. In my experience, most Asians go to Asian grocers for the good stuff, though.

Indian's the next most common, and in my area we've also got a sizeable British expat population, so there tends to be British brands as well.

And the Jewish foods are usually all located on one rack of shelves that gets bigger around Passover.

The produce aisle tends to have special section for Mexican (tomatillos, nopalitos, peppers, etc.) and Asian (lemongrass, bok choy, eggplant varieties) ingredients.
>>
>>7997537
I buy pancake mix and maple syrup. These are all normal items in Canada and so there is no American section.
>>
i live in london, i've only ever seen a section in a supermarket for a specific country once, and it was a small jamaican section. i don't even think it was labeled as such, had a few drinks from there but that was pretty much it
usually all the foods from foreign countries are mixed in with the rest, it's not really questioned

my mum visited the us a while ago and brought back some sweets, to this day they are some of the nastiest shit i have ever tasted. milk duds i think? she brought them some really cheap belgian chocolate from tesco and they all shat themselves apparently

So cal here too. Where I live theres a bunch of asian stores a few miles away, a bunch of mexican stores a few miles away the other direction. Then the standard stores that are everywhere like Ralphs and Albertsons, then the more expensive american stores like Whole Foods and Trader Joes, then the wholesale big mega stores like Costco and Sams. The Indian, Jewish, even a small dutch store and other nationalities spotted around randomly. What county are you in?

No shops here have an american section, but I do see several of the things on your pic on the shelves.
