Starving Expats

No, don't worry. We all have work. This is more a post related to the foods we miss.

Having lived in Buenos Aires for 10 years now, I have found so many foods from the good old U.S. of A. that were never available here. Supermarkets have been wising up to the over 1 million expats living here, and some imported foods have started to arrive.

Within the last year, Doritos, Snickers, and iced coffee have all arrived. The newest arrivals, this week, were Pace Picante Salsa and Campbell's soup.




A few things still missing:
Smoked sausage
Pepperoni
Breakfast sausage
Italian sausage
Corned Beef
Fried Chicken
Pickles (that don't taste like straight vinegar)
Tartar sauce
Any kind of dip
Any kind of salad dressing
Reeses Peanut Butter Cups
Cheddar cheese

Again just a partial list...
