It irritates me that it's so much harder to find single-serving packages of full-fat yogurt in American supermarkets than in many other countries.

...or a single-serving container of plain yogurt with no artificial sweeteners.

Yes, that too.

I have in my hands right now a 140g glass jar of Dunnes Stores "Simply Better" (their premium store brand) yogurt, lemon curd flavor. It is bedfull_o_books favorite brand of yogurt. Sadly, it is empty as US Customs will not allow such a dangerously competitive product to enter the land of the free.

The ingredients list is as follows: "Cow's Milk, Lemon Curd (20%) [Sugar, Whole Egg, Water, Salted Butter, Concentrate Lemon Juice, Citric Acid, Agar, Sicilian Lemon Oil, Tri Sodium Citrate], Cream, Skim Milk Powder, Lactic Acid Cultures. Contains Live Cultures: Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus Acidophilus."

Not a hint of artificial sweetener.

Produced and packed in County Wexford.

But I'm not bitter. Much.

It is stuck in customs next to Kinder Surprise eggs and most French cheeses

All these products are clearly too dangerous to import...

...for their American competitors, at least. But somehow, Canada survives.

Grrrr.

(bedfull_o_books likes Kinder Surprise eggs, too. And most French cheeses.)

Similarly, I loved Sainsbury's "Taste the Difference" brand when we lived in England. Particularly the rhubarb.
