Grocery Stores and Colonization

It’s funny how you can see who colonized which countries or who has the greatest ties to a country through their grocery stores. They say that Sierra Leone is very British, Guinea is very French, and Liberia is definitely oh-so-American... it was the most exciting shopping experience I've had in a long time. So I'm now stocked up on America via Monrovia. I’m attempting to get back to Guinea with:
  • 4 bottles of Kraft BBQ sauce
  • a jar of Vlastic sweet pickles
  • 2 boxes of Fruity Pebbles
  • 1 box of Aunt Jamima pancake mix
  • A-1 steak sauce
  • Ranch dressing
  • Wishbone Italian dressing
  • 4 containers of Folgers Hazelnut coffee.
Anyone inspecting my suitcase is going to be pretty perplexed, but I’m a happy camper… as long as I can get on the plane with this stuff... keeping my fingers crossed.
