I just learned that my 2 fav snacks are from america: potato chips (has potato), and popcorn (has maize). What are some non-US snacks I could try instead?

thanks

    What message are you trying to send by boycotting a vegetable domesticated in South America, and brought to Europe by Spanish explorers about 500 years ago?

        You must be trolling.

        There’s nothing USA about potatoes or corn.

        Corn, or maize, was first domesticated by the native populations near Mexico, and potatoes have been a staple food in Europe for a really long time, to the point where Ireland had a famine when they lost their potato crop.
