Warning for rant coming up! I really really miss the Basics. I love living here in Sweden for the most part, but this is one thing that I really wish we had. I call it the Basics. It is the foodstuffs that we use all the time in the US that I just have not been able to find here. And we use these things ALL the time, never do not have them in house type of stuff. One is the saltine cracker. And no, Swedes, there is no equivalent here, I have looked, tasted, tried but no, it does not exist here. I just bought three boxes from an American store in England. But we have saltines with everything from soup to cheese to peanut butter to summer sausage to chili. I miss them! So now I will bulk buy from England. Some of the other Basics are: mushroom soup ( and no, it does not taste at all the same, the Swedish one), chicken broth in a can, Velveeta, self raising flour, Miracle Whip, vanilla extract (and again no Swedes, vaniljarom is not vanilla extract, I sorry). Especially the mushroom soup, it is in everything we make! But I like my taxes and social wonderfulness enough to just buy crackers from England I guess :).
