What are some things they have in Europe that they don't have in the U.S.?

Not abstract stuff...like things you can buy at a store in Europe that you'd have a hard time finding here. For example, in Mexico candy with chili powder is very popular but you can usually only find it in a specialty shop here.

Wow, you guys are really missing the point here. Um, have you ever heard of Imported Beer? And "history" is in the "abstract" vein of things. Sheesh, if I don't get some real answers I'm just gonna delete the question.

With markets as global as they are, there are in fact, fewer things we CAN'T get. Where I live, we can pretty much get all the brands of Belgian Beers that exist. Further more American craft beers are just as good. So beer doesn't count unless you live in Podunk, Iowa.

As a kid, I lived in Nurnberg, Germany. During the Xmas Fests, I would buy a special candy that we called "sweet & sour" sticks. They were about three inches long and were like "sweet tarts" but were sweeter and kinda foamed in your mouth once you chewed them.

I went back to vist Nurnberg during the Xmas Markets two years ago and was amazed to find my candy. I bought a pound of them...and am sorry to say...ate them before I even left for home.

I wish I could find them here in the US.

Another thing...Europeans have much better cell phone technology than we do here. It's sad. I also think the NON-Designer brands of leather goods available in Germany are amazing. I bought a wallet that lasted for 10 years and wished I could find the maker to purchase another one. No brand names...

GOOD BEER...

The first thing that comes to mind is - History.

Europe has thousands of years of history the US has just over two hundred years.

Mostly: anything that is made in the US that can also be made in Europe, or is not popular in Europe, or is not known in Europe, will not be available in Europe.
And vice versa.

whole grain bread without molasses and sugar
raw milk cheese
cooked ham without sugar
Quark
D枚ner ( kind of Turkish food )
some tools
That's the things I haven't seen in Florida, they may be available in other parts of the States.

In addition to being a teacher of English as a foreign language, I am a carpenter. So I'm always looking for things in the construction trade that are different between the two continents. I've lived in a number of European countries, and I am currently in the US.

In Europe they sell these hinges that make the doors swing out. Hinges in the US have these pins in them so that if you pop them out of the hinges, you can take the door out of the jamb. But the way the European hinges are made you have to actually open the door before you can remove it from the opening. Do you get what I mean? So that American hinges have three components: door hinge plate, jamb hinge plate, and the pin. European hinges only have two components since their door hinge plate has a pin that fits into the hole of the jamb side hinge plate.

Also, their yogurt is totally different from ours. It has to do with the way the cows are fed or something. Same is true with the beef in general: corn fed (US) vs. grain fed (Europe). You can't buy the one in the other place.

There are others, but I'm too tired right now to think of them. I hope this helps.
