I am not aware of many food items not available in Ukraine. What is it?

We bring Maple Syrup (sealed containers) and local chocolate to friends on each trip. I have brought tulips (cut flowers) from Amsterdam without a problem.

Actually when I went to Russia, I attempted to make a version of cheesecake for American Christmas dinner. We went shopping, and several items, including cream cheese and corn starch, were very hard to find. I was able to locate cream cheese, it turns out they just call it something different. There was no corn starch..and vanilla is solid compared to the liquid extract we have in the states. So my attempt to thicken a raspberry glaze with potato starch, and then gelatin...was a horrible fail. But the cheesecake itself was absolutely delicious!!

Okra? Oh yes, I was glad they did not have that. You could probably bring that in provided it had no dirt attached to it (not kidding) Put it in checked baggage and no one will know anyway, worst case they take it away from you...and regret it when they eat it later.

Brought the makings for pumpkin pie a few times to Belarus. Their definition of Pie is different than ours... I do not even think they have pies.

I had a hard time finding cream cheese, powdered sugar, and brown sugar! (another recipe)
