Everyone knows that if you move away from your home country, the thing you miss most is the food you grew up with (well maybe it's family, but that's debatable). So whether you’re from the States and need a big bowl of comfort cereal or you're a kiwi and need some pineapple lumps in your life, we've got all your cravings covered!
Here's where to find all the foods you miss from home.
New Zealand

Canada
