Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I'm a Zimbabwean 🇿🇼 who has stayed half of her life in Malawi 🇲🇼

If I could pick one souvenir food wise it would be this garlic sauce from here in Malawi.

Will make a series of posts on this.

(I'm in the US). I've been told by multiple friends in multiple countries that they appreciate Reese's Pieces peanut butter candies. The salty-sweet combo is unique and they don't get them often in their countries.

My other go-tos depending on who I'm visiting would be a locally roasted coffee or an over-the-top flavor bomb craft beer. Like my local brewery has a seasonal on rotation right now, "Sprinkled doughnut double spiced oatmeal stout" with a bright, colorful can. My German friend is offended but intrigued by the beers I bring. Usually he gets playfully wound up insisting they don't count as real beer.

Don’t worry, Germans are offended by every non-German beers.

Am German, found the exception. There is a beautiful little brewery in Lucerne right at the Lake. Go there and drink one of both beers on tap. Yes its that good. :)
