I EXPOSED food items tourists sneak out of the USA

[@smasheduppumpkinette]

Cornstarch is called cornflour in the UK. It cost about 70p a box in most of the big supermarkets (and even cheaper in Aldi and Lidl). Fine ground white powder that makes the hard and runny at the same time thing when you mix it with water. Great for thickening sauces etc. Please note what Americans call cornflour is what we call cornmeal in the UK (it’s yellow and courser). So I can 100% guarantee if you buy a box of cornflour from a UK supermarket it will be the same as the US cornstarch you bought.

[@hopecreations3333]

So fun watching this from the American perspective 🤣

[@LIFEWITDJ09]

Yes because I fell bad that they don’t got this stuff

[@lillienguyen2802]

From an Aussie perspective USA foods = sugar and obesity. I prefer Australian servings

[@womensarmycorpsveteran2904]

As an American whose lived abroad for over 20 years it’s funny and interesting to me having experienced it from both perspectives. You can’t get proper hot dogs anywhere outside of the states either. Lived in England for 6 years now in New Zealand. When I do go back to the states, my sister always brings me a twinkee when she picks me up from the airport.

It's not pancake syrup, its jelly. For peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. However some people put peanut butter and jelly ON pancakes

[@Doglover-4289]

The grape "syrup" is actually grape jelly. You could technically put it on pancakes, but for American's it is more common on bread. Like spread on toast, sandwiches, and even on bagels. For the sandwiches the jelly is usually paired with peanut butter.

[@jadeclunes1280]

I’ve never heard of fillows. I had no idea Arizona made nachos, but I also don’t eat dairy lol. I had no idea you could buy edible slime, I thought you would have to make it in order to make slime edible/safe to eat lol. But some of these things are just like everyday items that I would’ve thought were in other countries, especially the UK!

Pepridge Farm is really big in the US. Not only do they make cookies but they are also the company behind the Goldfish snacks, and they make bread, among other things. Also, there are two restaurants in the US, Hooters & Twin Peaks, both of which feature waitresses who wear tight fitting shirts made to show off their chest areas.

[@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory]

Next time you are in the US, pick up the packets of dry Hidden Valley Ranch powder. I actually don't care for the bottled dressing - if you make restaurant style ranch dressing with the powder, sour cream & mayo. But thank you for reminding me of all the fun, crazy flavors here. I tend to lean away from artificial flavors & colors, but it's good to have a few fun treats

[@crystalbrown8483]

In the UK ask for corn flour. That's what companies there call what we in the US call cornstarch. My best friend who's stationed in the military there took forever to learn that. Brown & Polson brand cornflour is her favorite.

Corn flour is a yellow powder made from finely ground, dried corn, while cornstarch is a fine, white powder made from the starchy part of a corn kernel. Both may go by different names depending on where you live. Corn flour is used similarly to other flours, whereas cornstarch is mainly used as a thickener

As an expat I always use UHaul boxes for my loot and Polar Bear coolers for frozen foods. The box HAS to be UHaul brand, the dish crate size. If you cut it down 2 inches it’s fine to put with luggage if you tape it well. When I fly business class I don’t even cut it down. The polar bear coolers will keep your food frozen for up to 48 hours. We travel to Saudi Arabia and the food is still frozen. I think London is 9 hours from Houston so they should work really well for you.
