Any kind of kinder was my favorite snack when i was growing up in Calabria. Briosce were second on my list, tied with the Mulino Bianco cookies. mmm mmm!! Brasilena was my absolute favorite drink--still is, I used to be able to find it at Dibacco's on Franklin Ave in Hartford, they no longer carry it. Liuzzi's in New Haven also used to, I'll have to check if they still do,, spero di si!! Nutella from Italy is nothing like Nutella in America.

I wish I could get that in the States. Similar to Kinder Bueno was Kinder Snack, I think, flavored with Cointreau. I wish I could get that in the States.

After reading about them here I had been wondering what they were. Last week we finally found them in Siena. I ate eight little packs of them straightaway. So deliciously addicting...

Hi Katie... hope it was good. Cheers. Kay, I'm a big fan of the olive pate too. Sorry to make you home sick! Hi Carla... good reasons to book a trip! I agree, I like Brasilena in a bottle better too... wish I could find the large bottles, that would be great! Scintilla, "twisties?" do they taste the same? As long as they taste the same... they can call them whatever they want:) Vanessa, I have heard the same.. maybe I’ll do a taste test!

Otherwise I've only ever found them in Italy. We get Fonzies in Australia only they are called ‘Twisties’. Otherwise I’ve only ever found them in Italy.

Fonzies, all and any kind of Kinder! With the Brasilena, they have it here but only in the can and it's just not the same...in the glass bottle they do have Moka Drink and Frizz Coffee which are also both made in Calabria...I know, I know it's not the original Brasilena, but I'll take either of those in the bottle over Brasilena in a can. I don't know why they stopped importing Brasilena in the glass bottle. Anyway, I also always, always bring back at least 3 bottles each of the Amaro del Capo and that brand of Limoncello (Liotti maybe? the one with the bottle shaped like Calabria). Guglielmo I find here, but what I don't find are le caramelle al Guglielmo, so I make sure I bring those...another thing I do bring is Tortellini prosciutto crudo by emiliane Barilla, because they don't have those here...geez, now i'm really hungry e mi manca la calabria :( Joe, I’m with you on all of these!

I'm in Alabama for a month and my Vecchio Amaro del Capo is still at casa mia... as if I wasn't homesick enough! (mmm.... I usually bring Rio Mare Pate' Olive Nere, a bottle of my own olive oil, Mon Cherie cherry liqueur chocolates...) and I really miss our wonderful wood-fired oven bread. Noooo….
