No, not like the cans for poor people. Dig this. Do you like food? I do. There's food, you see, that sounds good. Like Teddy Grahams and Pop Tarts. The problem is, there's a lot of food like those that sounds tasty, but isn't sold in Australia. So, here's the thing. There's also food in Australia that they don't sell in other countries. Like vegemite, and jumpies (potato chips shaped like kangaroos.) I propose that these foods be exchanged. I mail you something that sounds interesting from Australia, you mail me something that sounds interesting from your country. Hmmm?

*EDIT* Also, after SBKT made it clear that this was necessary, I'm deleting posts unrelated to nation-specific food, and/or the exchange there of. Snacks are srs bzns yo.

You forgot Pavlovas and Lemingtons, but I guess they just need a recipe, where as Jumpie are in packets and I don't think there's a way to get inflated kangaroo chips.


Man, jumpies, that brings me way back.

I am reviving this now that I have steady income and can do shit. I'd be willing to buy stuff from the states and mail them to who ever would like to send me delicious snacks from their country.

That dulce stuff is indeed delicious.

I guess I could send you, uh, instant Kaiserschmarrn or something? We have a lot of Mehlspeisen (=pastries) here you won't get anywhere else.

Or how about Grammeln?

Vegemite isn't only in Australia... I know we have it here in Canadaland.

Um... I dunno if there are even any Canada-exclusive foods...

Real maple syrup?

Oh, maybe Nanaimo bars. Fucking delicious.

I dunno, I'm just looking at the wikipedia page. lawl.

I haven't any rare food items, however, if you want a gigantic, dead, stuffed cow, that I can send you.

Well, in Canada, the only thing I can think of is poutine and real maple syrup.

According to that page though, it seems like Coffee Crisp, Mr. Big, Caramilk, Big Turk, Cherry Blossom, Crispy Crunch, and Aero are all Canadian, but a lot of them are in other countries with name variants or just different products under the same name.

Real maple syrup does not come only from Canada. They make tons of it in Vermont and they make some in other North Eastern states. There is a small company in my town that comes around and taps all the trees for sap to make syrup and maple sugar.

I would definitely like to get my hands on these.

Just saying, I may be willing to want to trade some snacks with someone. I still have to get informed about prices for exports and everything, so I can't really confirm I will do it.

Let's see, we have popular snacks here like this and this and this aaand this which is served with this
We also have these ones, but I don't really know if they are exclusive to us.

For real meals, we have these, this and this. This combination is also daisies popular around here.

For desserts, we have this, this, this and this.

We also have this particular seed that I don't think any other country has (don't counting my country neighbors).

For drinks, we have this which is great for those who like alcohol and lemon, and this which is made of sugarcane. Really really sweet flavor.

Oh yeah, we also have them around here. I personally like it, just occasionally.

And since you talked about the dulce de leche, people should try this too but they aren't exclusive to us, I think.

Yup, I guess this is it. You all probably know where I am from now, even if I never said it directly.
I didn't say the name of anything so knowing more about them will depend on your curiosity.

I am in favor of crunchy things on sticks.

What is this? Sounds like a mojito.

Your country, it start with a B and ends with a "razil?" Rhymes with Brazil?
