Buy European

Mexican on the bottom half of shelves, Canadian on the top half of shelves.

maybe even healthier.

Turkiye also has a large military industry looking to sell to the EU, a large military, and wants control over the black sea (which involves weakening Russia), and wants to be as friendly to the EU as possible to eventually get that coveted EU membership.

Yeah, an opportunistic authoritarian, but a useful one in this dire emergency.

There is a huge Turkish population in Germany, that seems to be the most probable reason.

but they're not as loudly shitty to europeans about it.

Heimvergeltungsstolz?

dunno, but I've been an anarchist for a while, and I feel it every time I see someone stand up to these assholes I paid taxes to, that one time I made enough money to pay taxes.

solidarity with the free, or at least hoping-to-be-less-constrained, peoples of the world, certainly. we need something shorter.

i also find an odd kind of half solidarity with my ancestors who fought in the second world war, against what america is trying to be, and sort of always was, but were very much flag waving 'rarara america' patriots the rest of their lives at the same time.

point being that the non-shitty people from this awful shit hole country aren't going to begrudge anyone ditching the awful garbage that gets made here. 'made in america' mostly means prison slaves anyway. edit:the people who make the decisions and own the stuff here have no common interest with the common people. we are all bludgeoned or manipulated into not putting up a fight. which isn't to say there aren't enough insane fanatics and bloated military budget to be a serious threat to the free world, but, like, please fuck our shit up. it's not like any of us ever see any benefit from it anyway.

Virtually no one here likes Erdogan whatsoever, but our interests in relation to Ukraine and weakening USA/Russia aligns in this particular case. Turkey is a large country that actually borders the EU and has the largest non-European diaspora living here; keeping somwhat cood relations makes sense, even if I'd never want to see them join the Union and know we can never fully trust them.

As we lost our biggest ally, trading with another large country with a significant military makes perfect sense. Besides, Turkish food is actually great, especially compared to murican trash

Türklündar

I'm scared of the spin angle from a Turkish knockoff The Boys.

It might unironically be more in line with the comics though.

I'm imagining peanut butter, BBQ sauce, pumpkin pie filling, and maybe a few breakfast foods like cream of wheat. Not all of our foods are terrible nightmares, they're just either available in different aisles or not super popular to justify being everywhere.

The intersection of "American", "novelty" and "popular enough to import but not enough to fully stock" is probably mostly candy, pop tarts and Lucky charms.

The last time trump was around and pulled this type of shit peanut butter was one of the things people had issues with, since the US produces a lot of peanuts and peanut butter.
