Visiting the USA aisle at my supermarket store. Anything here worth getting?

[Anonymous No.18194526]

Never understood why the "American" aisle in foreign supermarkets are packed with marshmallows. Do you guys really not have them? You only eat them if you're going camping and eating smores, or a mom making rice krispie treats.

They are made of corn syrup and that doesn't really exist anywhere else.

Your grocery store looks like a Mormon's doomsday pantry.

It looks like everything below the marshmallows is British. Nothing catches my eye. Maybe a bag of those salted in-shell peanuts and a 12 pack of beer. Have them with some cigarettes on your porch.

I've never seen any one of these brands aside from swiss miss. It's a hot chocolate and only used once a year where you microwave milk and mix it in. I'd maybe try the pumpking cans just to make pumpkin pie, especially if you've never had it, but even in the US they're not great because it takes added spices to make it worthwhile. It would be hard to tell how good that brand is, especially since I've never seen it before. It might take extra sugar or more spices like nutmeg/cloves/cinnamon.

I really wouldn't buy anything there aside from baking soda which you probably already have. Shitty american aisle. If you really want something maybe try the simply butter popcorn or peanut butter?

Marshmallows can be found in every single candy section of every single supermarket in Europe.
It's just some asshole trying to sell product putting them in the America display.
It's not like pancakes or popcorn are huge novelties either.
As was mentioned already, clam chowder is possibly the only thing in that display you can't already find in the store because it's just regular shit.

honey graham cracker, hersheys chocolate, toasted (lightly to blackened to taste) marshmallow over wood campfire, top cracker

I dont recognise most of those brands, so I can't tell you if they're good or not, but you cant ever go wrong with grabbing some pumpkin pie mix. No idea if that bbw sauce is any good, it might be really sweet if its considered American. Still, could be worth trying. I don't recognise anything on the lower shelves, and it's odd how there's so much popcorn and marshmallows. I guess grab a jar of peanut butter too, I eat that shit straight from the jar. Fucking delicious. If you can find any cornbread mix, I encourage you to try making some, go fantastic with any sort of meat centric meal or even with just a glass of milk for breakfast.
