We
all know that @Dan likes to bring back Apropos (I second that, though they can be found in the US now for quite exorbitant prices, and since
@Dan wrote about them they also came out with a delicious milk chocolate covered version), Doritos Chamutz Charif (some of my kids like that), as well as hopes for bringing CY Ben & Jerry's.
While some of the snacks are nice to have (I like to bring back עוגיות עבאדי, the original sesame, as well as extra crispy), I find the real delicacies to bring back (timely for Shavuos) are dairy items.
An all time favorite of our family is Tenuva 9% (no low fat c..p) Cottage Cheese. No other Cottage cheese that I have sampled comes close!!! A traditional family snack after someone comes back from EY is Apropos with Tenuva Cottage Cheese.
With the recent conversion of Tara dairy to Badatz Eida Chareidis, Müller yogurts are also excellent. DW declared the Kiwi flavor to be the best, while my kids loved the Pear flavor. I don't go for sweetened stuff, but during my recent visit, I treated myself to a 5% fat content smooth Müller yogurt with granola - simply out of this world.
גבינה צפתית is also a favorite. I personally think that the one produced by Y. Mordechai dairy of Moshav Beit Gamliel (scarcely available - have seen it only in Kfar Chabad, under supervision of Rav Landa BB) is much better (in taste and texture) than the Tenuva one, though the Tenuva one is packed in sturdy packaging that can better withstand the beating of travel, and is usually longer dated.
גבינת חרמון is also extremely welcome in our house, unlike all of the above, it can be frozen, and though it loses some of its texture, it's ok since we use it mostly in baking and/or cooking.
A recent addition to the Israel shopping list is a laundry additive called Vanish (actually manufactured in Italy, and possibly elsewhere in the EU). DW says that nothing she has seen in the US comes close to it in removing stains or brightening whites. It comes in a regular version and a version specifically for whites.
Luckily, on my most recent trip, the suitcase with the non-perishables was the one that was mishandled by Swiss, so we got everything more or less OK.
What's on your Israeli shopping list to bring back to the US?
