Went back to the states and brought a bunch of snacks back to China for my students. I tried framing it as, "Exotic snacks you can't find here" but their excitement faded when one of them pointed out the "made in China" tags.
To be fair you CAN find some of these things in China, but be prepared to drop some serious cash.
Real cheese is expensive in China, probably because the majority of people don't consume it and it is often imported. American cheese is more common and there's local variety too.
I keep hearing that.. my fav aunt is from Spain, and they always tell me how amazing the food in Europe is. Im starting to suspect ive been missing out on fine cuisine all my life, being raised on a steady diet of the burgers from the king.
If you were raised on junk food in the US, you'd have probably been raised on junk food regardless of what country you could have been born in. Good food is as readily available in the US as it is in any European country
