During the podcast, one of you mentioned having a friend who’s a chef living in Paris, France, and when he came to the U.S. recently, he brought an extra bag to fill with miscellaneous “junk.” I’ll be echoing his plan soon, as I’m heading stateside next week and bringing my own spare bag. You may laugh, but many American products are expensive or impossible to get when outside the U.S. I’m a military retiree, so I can get a lot of American products on nearby military bases, but the selection is inherently limited. For those who aren’t associated with the military, it’s even tougher to the the tastes and products of home. Living outside the U.S. brings many interesting and fulfilling experiences, but getting familiar products isn’t guaranteed.
I would also love to have the mom and pop type of Mexican and Greek restaurants that are in strip malls all across the U.S.
