Italians don't eat our breakfast! They eat sweets with their espresso. I was there for an entire year without eating my precious hash browns and bacon!
They also don't have cinnamon gum. Where I was (Sardegna) they had never seen toe separators (for painting your toenails). They also don't have pudding. There is something kinda similar but you eat it hot. Absolutely no Mexican food.
It's kinda hard to think of all of these things off the top of my head. I'll add more later if I think of anything good. Oh, and they always wear shoes (flip flops or sandals of some type) indoors, and never blow-dry your hair in bare feet! :)
Hope this helped! |

We have been watching American movies here and we have always heard about this famous "peanut butter", that all the American kids seem to eat for their afternoon snack. In Italy it is translated (the films here are dubbed) as "burro d'arachidi". I had no idea what this "burro d'arachidi" was until I went to the States and saw it for the first time.
I think we still don't have it in Italy...at least I have never seen it.
I don't know if it would be successful though... You know, we have Nutella to spread on a slice of bread and THAT is very successful! |

While there are things that are relatively rare, the hard part of this is finding something that would be popular here. Someone suggested maple syrup, which I have actually brought back for people here. They think it's interesting, but don't find much use for it here. It is available in the store in my small town though as is peanut better. The stores don't carry much of those products because they doesn't sell.
One thing that people here did seem to like was cranberry - orange muffins and cookies. The cranberries are not at all common here and the things made with the cranberries they weren't too sweet for Italian tastes.
Most of the time when I go back to the US, people don't ask me to bring back something that's not available here, but focus on things that are cheaper in the US - like electronics & cameras. |
