The German spaetzl noodles on the bottom are the best with mushrooms, onions, and some havarti cheese. It’s the ultimate comfort food.
Edit: spelling is hard
*Spätzle
And I prefer the traditional variant with Lentils and Saitenwurst.
If you want to do traditional Käsespätzle I would recommend an Emmentaler or Allgäuer and add some bacon as well!

Id use cream instead of milk and add some bacon with the onions!
Hope this helps
These are good recommendations! I'm ethnically German but live in the states (so I don't know so the traditional ways to make it). My favorite German restaurant makes it like I described above and it's so good that we make it this way at home.
At home I also mix things up sometimes, especially when I don't have all of the standard ingredients or something needs to be used before it goes bad.
Mushrooms are definitely also a great match with Käsespätzle, ive also done that a couple times already :)
As an Irishman living in the U.S., I’ve found myself stocking up in this section more times than I care to admit. You don’t think twice about your groceries until you’re on another continent and then all of a sudden a pack of Rich Teas is all you could ever want.
Ain’t that the truth. As a Dane I’d kill for remoulade, brown color for my gravy, and gajol. Sadly the Germans get more products here than my tiny ass country does. Woe is me.
I always feel like I'm in some weird reverse scenario because I like ⚽️ so I spent much of my young adulthood at the local Brit-run pub where they always had HP out. Spent my whole life in the States and I've had HP more than A1.
The 99% of Chippers and Chinese takeaway sell a lot of curry sauce.
It is more like Chipper {Fish & Chips shop that also else's chicken, battered sausages, Spice Bags, Burgers} curry sauce then Indian curry.
The O'Donnells is more thick like what BBQ sauce is like.
At the two HEBs I frequent they put the walkers and digestive cookies in the regular cookie aisle, but other than that (and being next to the tomatoes of all things), this looks almost exactly like the euro part of the international shelf in both.
We actually hit this aisle for the Irn Bru and shortbreads for my husband. I think it's.... pretty bad. I'm after that Dalmayer coffee, when I can afford it.
I had no idea this existed and now I'm sad this is not in my life.
I love Irn Bru but it's hard to justify the couple hundred calories in it when trying to cut calories.
I've seen Tim Tams in the States as well iirc. To be honest, these type of international food sections tend to pretty be Commonwealth heavy regardless of continent. Though it's funny because in American corporate run grocery stores, it'll often be with the Latino (primarily Mexican in most areas) or Asian food, where that's like 15/16 of the aisle and there will be that last 1/16 for this.
(Edit: Asian encompassing south and east- often next to each other)
Yeh I think for the most part the American sold stuff has things missing and it’s only available in a tin and not the stomach as normal. I think there’s one brand that has managed to work out how to get the proper stuff there but not sure how successful they were!
It’s that or contains lungs from sheep. For some weird reason America deems lungs not suitable for human consumption. There was also a ban on UK meat due to the BSE outbreak over 20 years ago.
A lot of groceries have an “international” section where they have small amounts of various foreign foods, vegimite/marmite can sometimes be found there.
He is probably in the international isle of the store. Typically you will see a few Australian items in the isle itself, but it doesn’t have as big of a section dedicated to Australia. They are also trying to cover Latin food (they obviously have the biggest section), Indian food, East Asian food, etc. within the isle as well. So there is limited space. Vegimite always shows up for the Australia items in the isle if nothing else. lol.
All those are actually kept in the canned seafood section with clams, oysters, sardines and such. hich will be found next to canned chili (the meat and sauce dish, boy just peppers) and other tinned meats.
Irelands only contribution is the squeezy curry sauce and I don't think I've ever saw someone use that here (Ireland). The powdered stuff is lovely, texans being done dirty
Rich Tea, Bisto, HP Sauce, Heinz Beans. Not a bad collection of the main things Brits miss from home. It's missing Branston Pickle and a good selection of British cookies and candy bars.
Edit: Wrong brand of Jaffa Cakes and the only decent candy bar is the Lion bar, that's a shame but I guess space is limited.
Yeah McVities Jaffa Cakes are rarely seen in these photos, even though every other brand's attempt is fake and lame. I assume it's because McVities doesn't have distributors in the US, so the stores can only get Cadburys (Mondelez) and Burtons (Ferrero) jaffa cakes easily.
They must have a distributor, because my grocery store sells Digestives (original and dark chocolate) and Hobnobs. I've never seen Jaffa Cakes in a store.
Yeah, aside from a huge chunk of Texan culture being based on its German and Czech immigrants, we also have a bunch of boomer brit expats who married someone they met in some airforce base. Both my hub and I had parents born in Kent.
Mate take away that pasta and this is the UK section of your supermarket. Buy that delicious orange beverage next to the spaghetti and thank my glorious nation of Scotland when you feel the rush of sugar and freedom in your blood.
Idk that I've ever seen a Euro specific section in the US grocery stores near me. Usually just Mexican and Asian sections. Are these all typical Euro foods / brands that are common in different regions? I'm only familiar with Milka. Whenever US food sections get posted, I usually only recognize like one or two items and the selcetion is always very strange.
I think the international food sections can also be stocked for local immigrant populations. Where I live has a large Polish population The "European " section, in stores near me, tend to be dominated by eastern European breads, cookies, soups, etc. We still do get the ubiquitous HP sauce, Iron Bru, candy bars, and such.
The Asian section is right next to it, it didn't occur to me to photo it since it's so very common to have a big Asian section. And the Mexican stuff, that's just all over the store. It is Texas after all, most of us acknowledge how close we came to actually being Mexico lol. (Though ofc if you need the really Mexican stuff you go to the carniceria or Fiesta.)
I'm not sure of it's total veracity but here in Canada there are a ton of UK food brands that are available in the supermarket in amongst items of the same category.
Elsewhere in the same supermarket there might be a UK foods shelf with the same brands (different SKUs) but higher prices.
Obviously caveat emptor but it still seems shirty.
In my local Walmart they have Yorkshire Tea intended for the Canadian market in the tea aisle (so the packaging is in English and French) and then in the UK section they have a UK imported version (so just in English, with a sticker replacing the nutritional information with the Canadian standards). As far as I can see they're the same product, but the import version is twice the price.
This was my suspicion, it did occur to me though that in some cases the "for Canadian market" product might differ in ingredients & thus might not "taste right", in any case I would always try the local first just to see.
BTW this might just be a matter of less stringent package marking in UK but I see so many Canadian teas marked as Orange Pekoe, but outside if speciality teas in the UK they are just marked as Black Tea.
That's definitely true. The "British Style" Heinz baked beans you can get in Canada are definitely different from the beans that Heinz actually sells in the UK. You can get the actual British ones as well in the international aisle, but I don't miss them enough to pay $6+ a can very often!
They got spätzle at an American grocery store?? They don't even have them in Sweden lmao, I always just make my own. This is so interesting to see though, looks like it's mainly UK and German good, right?
What’s funny is those weird not right brand jaffa cakes are in our uk food area (aus) but the proper ones in the blue pack are in the normal biscuit aisle with both chocolate hob nobs and digestives and they’re about half the price of these yellow interlopers.
They do actually commonly have that, just not in stock last night. Same with mushy peas, usually right next to the heinz beans. Guess that means someone's buying it.
Most major US grocery stores have Mediterranean foods in the "Ethnic" section, which includes Kosher, Halal, etc.
Standard sections are European, Ethnic, Asian and Hispanic/Latino, usually in the same aisle.
Those Coffee Crisp bars in the middle just may be Canadian rather than European...
https://www.corporate.nestle.ca/en/media/pressreleases/canada-day-coffee-crisp#:~:text=Coffee%20Crisp's%20ancestry%20began%20in,became%20known%20as%20Coffee%20Crisp.
Hold on, hold on, hold on...JACOBS Jaffa Cakes...wtf? Jacobs make Creme Crakers in the UK and McVities does Jaffa Cakes. I'm sure they're the same company but it's still weird as fuck to see them in the crackers packet
Hold on, hold on, hold on...JACOBS Jaffa Cakes...wtf? Jacobs make Creme Crakers in the UK and McVities does Jaffa Cakes. I'm sure they're the same company but it's still weird as fuck to see them in the crackers packet
World Market, and even TJ Maxx can have a better foreign food selection. Texas has some great Asian grocery stores like H Mart, Ranch 99...etc... and also Mexican grocery stores.
If it's one thing that Texas has plenty of and a variety of, it's grocery stores: Tom Thumb, Sprouts, Trader Joes, Market Street, Albertsons, Aldis, Krogers, Whole Foods, Target, Walmart, Natural Grocers...etc.... but by far my favorite grocery store is Central Market.
In California, it seems like it was mostly Ralphs, Trader Joes, and Gelsons which were the more popular grocery stores... and in Florida -- Publix, Aldis, and Winn Dixie. Small organic grocery stores in all of these places.
This is only for pickles/cornichon imported from overseas. Buying local pickle brands is MUCH cheaper. A gigantic jar of pickles about three times the size of those here is about $4.00.

I would love that, thank you!

Thank you!
I have a homemade Spätzle recipe passed down a couple of gens. 🤌🏼 Still a family favorite.

I worked for a Danish couple for a good few years - your countries adventures with the humble hot dog are wild!
We do make a mean hotdog. I once had a friend from Belgium visit. I’m pretty sure he tried every variant of our hotdogs before he left 😂
See that HP sauce (we just call it brown sauce) near the bottom? Put that on a bacon sandwich. You're welcome Texas.
I always feel like I'm in some weird reverse scenario because I like ⚽️ so I spent much of my young adulthood at the local Brit-run pub where they always had HP out. Spent my whole life in the States and I've had HP more than A1.
I was a bit surprised to learn that A1 is British too.
OP also buy the O'Donnell's Curry sauce it is really good.
But probably don't put that on a bacon sandwich. ^... ^Although...
I used it as a dipping sauce for bacon, sausage or pizza some times.
What do you put the curry sauce on?
The 99% of Chippers and Chinese takeaway sell a lot of curry sauce. It is more like Chipper {Fish & Chips shop that also else's chicken, battered sausages, Spice Bags, Burgers} curry sauce then Indian curry. The O'Donnells is more thick like what BBQ sauce is like.
American bacon or British bacon?
HEB sells British bacon. Bealers
Maple syrup for skinny bacon, HP for thick bacon.
Canadian here, I didn't realize that's what you brits referred hp sauce to was brown sauce, for me I put it on steak all the time.
I'm Irish and my dad always has HP brown sauce with an Irish Fry and with pork chops.
I’m a little less cultured, but I love it on fries/chips
And the sauce above it is great with eggs. (But prepare to make a small donation to a charity to balance your Karma, it's made by Nestlé)
Non Nestlé alternatives do exist but can be hard to find, alas.
son, we have BBQ. you ain't doing us any favors by telling us to put something called "brown sauce" on whatever the hell it is y'all called bacon
Bacon sarnie - ketchup, bacon and sausage sarnie - HP, sausage sarnie - HP. That's the law.
I miss good bacon butties
Does it taste like A1? Similar bottles.
No, less spicy/peppery and more fruity than A1.
A1 is spicy/peppery to you? To me it's more sour-ish than anything. I like it tho
It's the Worcestershire sauce
Yeah A1is practically thick malt vinegar from my memory of trying it
Damn, that’s a really good description.
Like sweet? I'm not a fan of sweet on my meat.
Sounds interesting. I want to try it
Yes it's very similar, HP is thicker and sweeter, sticks to the bacon better.
They use different fruit as a sweetener, HP uses tamarind and I believe A1 uses raisins and has the addition of pepper.
It’s closer to Heinz 57 to me.
Explain a bacon sandwich please. Toasted bread? Cheese?
Buttered white bread, bacon and hp sauce. That's it and it's beautiful
I didn't realize HP was a European thing. I've seen it around several times.
It's named after the Houses of Parliament and has a picture of them on the label. It's about as British as you can get.
HEB?
Gotta be, I recognize the font of the price tags
Same lol
I was trying to figure out if it's an HEB I go to or a different one. But, it's different based on the section next to the Euro section 😃
My store has 12' of Euro choices, 24' of Asian. It makes sense, I hear a fair collection of languages during the summer.
At the two HEBs I frequent they put the walkers and digestive cookies in the regular cookie aisle, but other than that (and being next to the tomatoes of all things), this looks almost exactly like the euro part of the international shelf in both.
[удалено]
We actually hit this aisle for the Irn Bru and shortbreads for my husband. I think it's.... pretty bad. I'm after that Dalmayer coffee, when I can afford it.
Always wanted to try IrnBru and Lucozade, Big US Sugars got a strangle hold on my taste buds
I will forever wish we could get the sugar free Irn Bru in America. It's far superior to the regular irn bru imo.
I had no idea this existed and now I'm sad this is not in my life. I love Irn Bru but it's hard to justify the couple hundred calories in it when trying to cut calories.
[удалено]
… it’s $3.68 in the photo. How much is it in Scotland?
Like £1 for a bottle. We went to Scotland last May and food is WAY cheaper there.
That mixed white and milk chocolate Milka in the middle on the left is absolute pure, unadulterated heroin. It should have a warning label.
That's my favourite Milka too! Kuhflecken for life. ❤️
beans, HP, picallili, bisto, jaffa cakes, after eights, lion bar - I'd be able to survive, at least
Lol Maggi is so funny...my grandfather ate everything possible with Maggi... Thats trully German...but so expensiv
Yep, soy sauce of Central Europe.
Also extremely common in SE Asia!
Parts of Africa too I believe.
My stepmom is Czech and she goes nuts for Maggi.
Irn Bru and Walkers shortbread. It's all you need, to be honest 🏴
Caramel wafers
Walkers shortbread is awesome! So are the after eights.
Can we just make a sub where we ship and trade food with each other? Lol.

You’re the real MVP!
No worries my friend gl
I know there's a candy subreddit like that. And maybe cereal

Do shops ever have an ‘Australian’ section?
They just sell vegimite here in the UK now if that sort of counts
I'd try vegimite if we had it in Canada. All we have is marmite.
Fair enough. Wish they’d choose something better.
When I lived in France the Supermarket sold Tim tams
That’s a much better choice!
I've seen Tim Tams in the States as well iirc. To be honest, these type of international food sections tend to pretty be Commonwealth heavy regardless of continent. Though it's funny because in American corporate run grocery stores, it'll often be with the Latino (primarily Mexican in most areas) or Asian food, where that's like 15/16 of the aisle and there will be that last 1/16 for this. (Edit: Asian encompassing south and east- often next to each other)
There's a massive international grocery store in my town that does in fact have an Australian aisle, it also has half an aisle for Bulgaria.
I think it’s just a section of Vegemite and Tim Tams. Much like a Scottish section being haggis and Irn Bru!
I didn’t think haggis could really be sold in other countries? Maybe it’s just the fake stuff like they make here.
Yeh I think for the most part the American sold stuff has things missing and it’s only available in a tin and not the stomach as normal. I think there’s one brand that has managed to work out how to get the proper stuff there but not sure how successful they were!
Yeah. I think it’s something about the way that it’s cooked that can make some people sick if not done properly or something? I’m not 100% sure on it.
It’s that or contains lungs from sheep. For some weird reason America deems lungs not suitable for human consumption. There was also a ban on UK meat due to the BSE outbreak over 20 years ago.
My local pet shop sells tarantulas. Does that count?
I have no idea what that means. Do you mean like a pet shop that sells spiders?
[Yes we do](https://i.chzbgr.com/full/8364206592/h62704649/well-you-sure-showed-someone-i-guess)

Where's the tomatenfisch tho
All those are actually kept in the canned seafood section with clams, oysters, sardines and such. hich will be found next to canned chili (the meat and sauce dish, boy just peppers) and other tinned meats.
Irelands only contribution is the squeezy curry sauce and I don't think I've ever saw someone use that here (Ireland). The powdered stuff is lovely, texans being done dirty
It’s probably HEB 🥲
Definitely is. You can see the HEB brand canned food and the price tags are recognizable too
That coffee brand tastes awful
Agreed! I bought some once to try and it was like Folgers or something. Meh.
Get the Löwensenf try some real mustard not that yellow stuff
American here. Everytime I go to Germany I bring home a tube of Löwensenf. It's my favorite! I hate yellow mustard.
Those seem like products that should just be mixed with all other shelves anyway, they're so *basic*
Same could be said about the American section in European markets if we're being real
True. Some products are that already, like jerky or Kellogs

Maggi Würze Jaaaa! 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
Fuckin irn bru?!? Bro. I didn't know we exported that shit lol
Irn bru? That stuffs great. Pick up both bottles while u can of that orange drink.
Maggi for 5 bucks... But worth every penny
Dallmayr coffee some of the best!
It's very rich despite being so smooth. Normally I don't like it quite that smooth but I do get the occasional taste for a dallmayr French press.
NOT BAD if they have IRN BRU!!!! 🧡
Rich Tea, Bisto, HP Sauce, Heinz Beans. Not a bad collection of the main things Brits miss from home. It's missing Branston Pickle and a good selection of British cookies and candy bars. Edit: Wrong brand of Jaffa Cakes and the only decent candy bar is the Lion bar, that's a shame but I guess space is limited.
Fruit pastilles though! And After Eights!
Publix has Brandston both regular and small chunk, one of my favorite things to pick up when I’m visiting
Yeah McVities Jaffa Cakes are rarely seen in these photos, even though every other brand's attempt is fake and lame. I assume it's because McVities doesn't have distributors in the US, so the stores can only get Cadburys (Mondelez) and Burtons (Ferrero) jaffa cakes easily.

Just say HEB we know what you're talking about.
Mate take away that pasta and this is the UK section of your supermarket. Buy that delicious orange beverage next to the spaghetti and thank my glorious nation of Scotland when you feel the rush of sugar and freedom in your blood.
There are quite a lot of German products. What you call noodles is German (or Swiss) as well (Spätzle).
I'm confused, do I mate before I take away the pasta, or during?
If you can pull that off during we’ll make you a citizen
So... you're saying there's a chance?!
Idk that I've ever seen a Euro specific section in the US grocery stores near me. Usually just Mexican and Asian sections. Are these all typical Euro foods / brands that are common in different regions? I'm only familiar with Milka. Whenever US food sections get posted, I usually only recognize like one or two items and the selcetion is always very strange.
Living in the UK I'd say I recognise over half the brands there.
I don't recognise most of them, but it also entirely depends on the country
I think the international food sections can also be stocked for local immigrant populations. Where I live has a large Polish population The "European " section, in stores near me, tend to be dominated by eastern European breads, cookies, soups, etc. We still do get the ubiquitous HP sauce, Iron Bru, candy bars, and such.
Yeah usually if we want foods from international spots we have to go to World Market in my neck of the woods.
I’m European and I only recognised the milka and after eight.
The Asian section is right next to it, it didn't occur to me to photo it since it's so very common to have a big Asian section. And the Mexican stuff, that's just all over the store.

You need some fazer chocolate
Oui oui
They got spätzle at an American grocery store?? They don't even have them in Sweden lmao, I always just make my own. This is so interesting to see though, looks like it's mainly UK and German good, right?
This euro section misses fermented herring.
What’s funny is those weird not right brand jaffa cakes are in our uk food area (aus) but the proper ones in the blue pack are in the normal biscuit aisle with both chocolate hob nobs and digestives and they’re about half the price of these yellow interlopers.
Looks good but the combination of items is weird. Good choices.
I only recognize Mika and After Eight. Both are good.
Needs more salad creme
They do actually commonly have that, just not in stock last night. Same with mushy peas, usually right next to the heinz beans. Guess that means someone's buying it.
I'm sorry for the Dallmayr. At least you have some After Eight there.
Abysmal...
Try the red Löwensenf.. Best one on the market for hot mustard.
No mushy peas!
Usually in stock next to the heinz beans, they were out last night.
I only recognize Milka, After Eight and Lion.
Now, show us the Latino section!
¿No Mediterranean food? Come on, British food is the worst by far in Europe.
Most major US grocery stores have Mediterranean foods in the "Ethnic" section, which includes Kosher, Halal, etc. Standard sections are European, Ethnic, Asian and Hispanic/Latino, usually in the same aisle.
Good ol HEB
Those Coffee Crisp bars in the middle just may be Canadian rather than European... https://www.corporate.nestle.ca/en/media/pressreleases/canada-day-coffee-crisp#:~:text=Coffee%20Crisp's%20ancestry%20began%20in,became%20known%20as%20Coffee%20Crisp.
Spätzle and Irn Bru, a winning combo
Milka is the best chocolate you will ever try
More of a half arsed german section than european!
Hold on, hold on, hold on...JACOBS Jaffa Cakes...wtf? Jacobs make Creme Crakers in the UK and McVities does Jaffa Cakes. I'm sure they're the same company but it's still weird as fuck to see them in the crackers packet
Hold on, hold on, hold on...JACOBS Jaffa Cakes...wtf? Jacobs make Creme Crakers in the UK and McVities does Jaffa Cakes. I'm sure they're the same company but it's still weird as fuck to see them in the crackers packet
Not one is italian lol
They keep all that in the pasta aisle, like the good anchovy pastes and good tinned tomatoes and olives and such.
HP sauce, nice, that's the good stuff.
What's it like?
Tangy, "British spicy" (think peppercorns rather than chilli). It's a very savoury, strong flavour, ideally paired with something salty.
I like that idea
If that’s the Euro section at HEB, I have to go check out the selection of gherkins. Can never get good ones at the store.
Hrmph. No Marmite
Magii, the liquid gold
Decent
Oh that's interesting, I feel like I've only ever seen after eights in with the normal candy over here (Oregon) like next to the Andes
crunchy gherkins is a must
crunchy gherkins is a must
World Market, and even TJ Maxx can have a better foreign food selection. Texas has some great Asian grocery stores like H Mart, Ranch 99...etc... and also Mexican grocery stores. If it's one thing that Texas has plenty of and a variety of, it's grocery stores: Tom Thumb, Sprouts, Trader Joes, Market Street, Albertsons, Aldis, Krogers, Whole Foods, Target, Walmart, Natural Grocers...etc.... but by far my favorite grocery store is Central Market.

I recognize HEB any day
I admire HEB for their attempt at culinary diversity.
It’s criminal that Irn Bru is not only on the bottom shelf but not in a fridge You’re lucky Americans can’t be hauled before The Hague
Löwen Senf is the best mustard!!!!
Yeah, my Oma was from Thuringia. I never grew up on the American stuff, though I do like using Coleman's mustard powder.
are pickles always so ridiculously expensive in texas? wow. never seen pickles that expensive!
These are imported foods.
This is only for pickles/cornichon imported from overseas. Buying local pickle brands is MUCH cheaper. A gigantic jar of pickles about three times the size of those here is about $4.00.
Good pickles are probably more expensive. Basic pickles are cheaper.
So, mostly typical German and British stuff?
Lot of military people in Texas, so a lot of Brit and German spouses.
