American Week at Lidl

Lidl, one of the grocery stores in France, is currently running "American Week". Lidl is a German based company so their "American Week" is really the German interpretation of American items. So, in great excitement, I checked out the sales. The following items were on sale and apparently these items are what define American food.

• Dried cranberries
• Peanut butter (chunky or smooth)
  
• Microwave popcorn (butter or sweet)
• BBQ ketchup
• Thousand Island dressing
• Ranch dressing
• Caesar dressing
• Hamburger sauce (which after reading the ingredients is apparently a sauce made of tomatoes, mustard, onions, pickles and some other various ingredients)
• Brownie cookies (which were really just really chocolate cookies)
• Apple cookies (I haven't tasted them yet but they seem odd)
• Pancake mix
• Texas style chili potato chips
• Beef & chili potato chips
• Hot dogs (in a jar with some sort of liquid)
  

There were supposed to be bagels and to my dismay, they were nowhere to be found. Now, I am all stocked up on just a few of these items and happy to live in France with some "American" items.
