...and that are difficult or impossible to source from elsewhere.

I can't remember the name of the chocolate bar, but it had crunchy toffee in it. Haven't found its like elsewhere.

USA

Triscuits: crunchy salty shredded wheat crackers. Nice enough to nibble on their own.
Soft pretzels, warm and fresh. Sometimes, from time to time there have been shops selling these here, but they don't endure.
Cinnamon-flavoured sugarless chewing gum. And cinnamon-flavoured things in general, nobody else seems to want to make things cinnamon-flavoured (or at least very few things). About the only cinnamon-flavoured thing one can get here is donuts.
Grape Nuts. Tiny crunchy whole-wheat cereal, which for being so whole-wheat and low-sugar strangely manages not to go completely soggy, I am amazed at them. Delicious with a handful of dried currants.

New Zealand

"Berry Berry Bubbles" and "Berry Berry Flakes" cereal: puffed or flaked cereal covered with mixed berry puree and dried. There was a short period when my local supermarket imported it. Really yummy.

Israel

We spent a month in Israel when I was six. And this is what I remember: freshly baked flatbread warm from the oven. It was lovely, especially with mashed banana. We called it "Arab bread" then. Sure, we can get "Pita bread" here, but I don't know any bakeries where one can get it freshly baked; it's all pre-packaged.

Holland

Ginger loaf. When I was there as a teenager, the place we were staying had that as part of the breakfast selection. This wasn't bread, more like cake; think "banana bread" for comparison. Ginger loaf with Swiss cheese is a lovely flavour combination.

Australia

Home grown victuals that I would miss if I couldn't get them.

Tim-Tams. Sorry, but everyone else's chocolate-cream chocolate on chocolate biscuits are also-rans. My favourite flavour is the double-dipped chocolate ones.
Cheese Twisties. Cheese-flavoured knobbly crunchy nibbles.
Sesame Vita-Weat Crackers. A whole-wheat cracker that is solid and robust, but not stodgy. And the sesame flavour adds that little extra.

And I suppose I take for granted the huge variety of fresh fruit and veggies I can get here.

But I am a traitor to my country because I like neither football nor Vegimite.
