I’m Canadian, but… Fruit, I guess. Some fruit we get from places like Greece, Spain or Italy, both canned and fresh. We could live without them, but surely there’d be moments in the year when we couldn’t get fresh peaches, for example, at the supermarket, without European imports.
But it’s not a majority. We get quite a bit from South America, North Africa, and, astonishingly, as far as South Africa, too.
Though there isn’t much else. It’s rarely worth it to import food from another rich country, all the way across the ocean, in today’s world.
Though interestingly, I bought “canned” soup (actually packaged in a plastic bag) that came from Lithuania, of all places.
