Expat life is fun, but no matter how hard we try to adapt to the local culture, there are things we will always miss.

Like bread, for example. Living abroad is a dream come true, but finding good bread on every street corner is a challenge.

Of course, bread can be found abroad. But nothing beats a good French baguette. Especially when you know that the Scandinavians put syrup in their bread and that the Americans sell "French Bread" which does not even come close to the industrial baguettes of the supermarket.

If you live abroad, you're in luck if your city hosts a good French bakery.

Last week, we asked French people living abroad to tell us which specialties they miss the most.

Here are their responses:

1. Breton pancakes .

2. Orgeat syrup .

3. Yogurts .

4. Snails .

5. Spätzle .

6. Charcuterie , hard to find Bayonne ham in our adopted country.

7. Blood sausage turns most foreigners off...

8. Graubünden meat is nowhere to be found.

9. And Foie Gras is outright banned in some areas.

10. And let's not even talk about the crème fraîch ...

11. Impossible to find a Cassoulet worthy of the name outside France.

12. The Kouign Amann .

13. The Flammekueche .

14.Chipolatas .

15. Rillettes are a rare commodity...
