Things I had in France that I liked:

• snails (Helix lucorum) in garlic butter


• Tomme
  
• canned tuna (it's so much better than American tuna)


• Vollkornbrot


• salami


• saurkraut with frankfurters from the market


• manakiche (a lebanese flat bread flavored with thyme and olive oil)


• croissants for breakfast


• baguettes for breakfast; (while some bakeries have nice baguettes, I'm sad to say that the ones I bake myself are a lot better than some others)


• dark chocolate tablets, available not only at ED (200 gram tablets with hazelnuts or orange for €1.39) but also at G/20 and FranPrix, for 1.29 (hazelnuts only)

But now I find that Aldi, the German counterpart to ED, which has a store here in the sticks, is sellling 200 gram tablets with hazelnuts for $1.69 under the Choceur label, and it tastes pretty much like the French stuff.
