about knifes... I prefer Patadas from Sardinia... or Nogent's, or Bielles (France) made canifs... (ever heard about a Mongin ?)...
But i know a guy in Brussels who makes wonderfull knifes, too...
The problem is not provenance but quality, I'm sure that all over the world there are unbranded unknown perfect products... for food, clothes, daily life...

True. I have superb knives from Tibet (old) and Crete (bought from the cutler).

When I moved to the US what I was missing the most was:
-european style pork based products like ham/chorizo/saucisson/mergez and other "charcuterie"
-european cheeses
-european wines even though you can find good red ones made in USA go find a good fendant or a good rose or good gewurtz without importing it from europe.
-did I talk about bred and pastries ?
-strong alcohols: armagnac, cognac, calvados, distillated fruits alcohols
-hard apple/pear cider from Normandy or Britanny
And a lot more in the food and boose category. For the rest I could live with asia/usa made products, and thankfully most of the products listed above are available in the USA in good food stores (who said new seasons?
