When what I want is Triscuits, which are obscenely expensive over here in the UK.
You don't know how lucky you are to be able to get Triscuits so easily.
I have a box and a half now ( boyfriend treated me) and allow myself one at a time. How sad is that?

If you ever want to really understand America, check the nutritional information on those. They're like a billion calories per serving, and a serving consists of "I looked really close at the package." You can gain fifty pounds just by thinking about eating some.
One of the best things about traveling abroad—at least for us—is trying unseen and untasted dishes from different cultures and cuisines. At the same time, there will be moments when you get homesick. And a little taste of home with a dash of nostalgia can help with this. So, it can genuinely bring a smile to your face when you see familiar ingredients, products, and meals at a shop.
According to a poll conducted by YouGov, topping the list of the most popular American dishes in the first quarter of 2025 were [drumroll, please] French fries. They had a fame rating of 99% and scored a whopping 85% in terms of popularity.
In second place were mashed potatoes (98% fame, 84% popularity), followed very closely behind by the mighty hamburger (also 98% fame, but 83% popularity).

Also around July 4th they had packages labeled "American drinking game" and it was several Solo cups and 2 ping pong balls.
YouGov found that the other most popular American dishes this year included fried chicken, the legendary grilled cheese sandwich, the cheeseburger, steak with baked potatoes, hash browns (yum!), and steak with fries.
In tenth place was corn on the cob, followed by apple pie, barbeque ribs, the simple yet yummy turkey sandwich, tater tots, chicken wings, roast beef, chicken nuggets, and the Philly cheesesteak. Chicken pot pie was nineteenth in terms of popularity, while hot dogs claimed the twentieth spot in the poll.

Omg yes! Every time we enter that aisle (during the time when they are in stock, which is very rare), my dad starts going off about how they’re making fun of us and how I should never buy them. I do anyways and I’m still waiting for when he’ll notice and lose his mind. Damn are they ever good.

Uh actually, yeah that's a thing. It's called easy cheese. Don't question it, get some chicken n a biscuit crackers and spray an x on em. Yes cheese in a can sounds like an an abomination, because it is. But it can be good depending on what you put it on.
