    You’re from America? It’s funny if you have an European section in the supermarket since there are American shelves in supermarkets in many European countries. They typically stock mac n cheese, pop-tarts, jello and that kind of stuff.

      No, Canada. My city has a large Eastern European population, and I mostly go to a Polish grocery store anyway, so it’s.always fun to guess what the mystery pickled vegetables are!

      My wife wanted to try the famous pop-tarts for fun. We found them in a supermarket in France. We each took a bite, looked at each other wondering if it was real food, and threw everything in the trash. It should be forbidden.

        Did you…toast them before eating them?

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop-Tarts

        Pop-Tarts (stylized as pop•tarts) is a brand of toaster pastries produced and distributed by Kellanova (formerly Kellogg’s) since 1964, consisting of a sweet filling sealed inside two layers of thin, rectangular pastry crust. Most varieties are also frosted. Although sold precooked, they are designed to be warmed inside a toaster or microwave oven.

      The stores around me in the US have a few different sections categorized like that. There’s usually an “Asian” and “Latin” section, but I see the European one often as well
