Foods I Miss While Living Abroad From A US Perspective
Sweet Potatoes dancing in my head.
Last week I read an article from Janice Macdonald (article linked below) and she talked about the foods she missed while living abroad, and later that same evening, I was out and found myself at a table with other travelers — some of them long term travelers and some just here for a couple of weeks.
Somehow we got on the subject of food. They told me how they said that my boyfriend must try Lucky Charms.
It made me think back to the article, and if I were to go home, what foods would I want to bring back to Colombia.
What foods do I miss when living abroad.
Some things I only miss because I live in a small town, and can find in a big city. Yet if I were to fly home tomorrow and come back in a week, what would I bring back home with me?
It’s so funny to think this because the longer I live abroad, the more I realize we in the US do not have “one thing we all eat.”
For example, here in Colombia, everyone eats Arepas and Empanadas. They are just some foods popular here in Colombia.
