Each country has its own gastronomic preferences. But that's not all. There are products that Russians can consume, but Americans have no right. They are banned in their country. What products cannot end up on the American table, says Fraufluger.
Perch
Everyone's favorite sea bass in America is strictly prohibited. And not because it is harmful. The reason is different. About half a century ago, this fish was so popular that its population was almost completely destroyed.
Only in Mississippi does the government permit limited capture of perch. Those who wish can come to the state to taste dishes from their favorite fish.
Absinthe
Classic absinthe Americans can try. The main thing is that wormwood extract is not added to it. What is the reason? Doctors noted a large number of miscarriages, as wormwood negatively affects pregnancy. Although the question arises: how can a woman who is expecting a baby to consume alcohol?

Kinder Surprise
This sweet with a toy inside is popular in Russian stores. Many parents buy Kinder Surprise to bring joy to their children. But the Americans do not allow to treat their little ones with such sweetness. The egg was banned from producing and buying because children accidentally swallow plastic. It is interesting: have there been such cases in Russia or are they simply silent about? Or maybe Russian children are much smarter than American offspring?
Mirabel
Such a beautiful name for French plums. The fruits themselves are very tasty, but they do not tolerate transportation well. By the end of the journey, they lose not only their attractiveness. The worst thing is that it is dangerous to eat such plums - they can be harmful to health. That is why the US government has banned the French Mirabelle plums.

Unpasteurized milk
From time immemorial Russians have drank cow's or goat's milk. Mostly raw, it was rarely boiled. And how many children grew up on fresh milk! And today many townspeople try to give their children a natural product, from a cow, and not from a bag or bottle.
Americans are afraid of bacteria and germs. In the United States, only pasteurized milk is used for food. During the heat treatment, microbes and bacteria are killed. But also useful substances from this no longer become.
