maybe even healthier.

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

1. He is a million times better than Trump and has far far less blood on his hands than either Trump or Biden
2. Turkiye isn't engaging in economic warfare against Europe
3. Turkiye welcomed Syrian and Ukrainian refugees escaping the wars
4. Turkiye supports Ukraine in various ways such as drones

Turkiye is a Muslim country as well as a European country, so it is in an odd place to be but also bridges both worlds.

Edit: I know about the Kurds, I am from the Middle East. Turkiye had a history of racist nationalism that Erdogan actually campaigns against. Turkiye and Erdogan are not angels or innocent but are a far lesser evil than many others.

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.

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.

Besides the stuff people already listed, I know sections like this here in Germany, and they often (not always) just have "American style" products - basically some weird hybrids of what a European imagines America to be like, but for European palates. So I bet - unless this was a section with true import stuff - any American would be confused why they never heard of any of these products.

Lucky Charms and Nerds. I think it’s mostly for Americans in Europe actually. It’s all quite expensive and I’ve never seen anyone buy it.

Well the fact that, no fewer than 3 times, the Great British Bake-off judges have said something to the effect of “Wow! Your combination of peanuts and jam is a brilliant and unique flavor!” has taught me that maybe we really do have something to share with the world.

Decent crunchy PB.

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

Weird, most Americans would not spell it that way.
