People Are Sharing The "American" Ingredients They Can't Find Overseas, And I Honestly Can't Imagine Living Without Some

"It's so tough to find outside of North America. I learned this the hard way."

If you've ever walked into a grocery store abroad, you know that the selection can look pretty different from what you're probably used to in the US. So redditor u/pogmoshron asked, "What are some kitchen 'must haves' that I can pick up when I'm in the States that can't be purchased in Europe?" Here's some of what people on Reddit, as well as members of the BuzzFeed Community, had to say.

1. "Any Mexican ingredients like small-label hot sauces or canned chipotles in adobo sauce."

2. "I’m from Connecticut and I've been living in England for a couple of years. For me, it’s classic New England fall foods like apple cider donuts and pumpkin-flavored everything. That stuff is a very American concept."
