McVitie's

I have a cousin who grew up in Beirut, where she grew to like McVitie's Digestive Biscuits.

I "grew up" as an adult in Japan, where I grew to like McVitie's Digestive Biscuits.  I'm partial to the chocolate kind, but in Japan we had seasonal flavors as well.  Right now in Japan they have a green tea flavor, vanilla cream, cheddar, and sweet mint, in addition to plain and chocolate.  I remember seeing an orange one a few years back.

This week I saw plain and chocolate in my local Wal-mart.  Ut-oh! (Not good for the diet... especially when I could read the nutrition label for the first time and realized that one chocolate biscuit has 0 grams fiber?!?)

What imported food would you buy if you found it in your local grocery store?
