If you're a traveler and an adventurous eater on the road, be aware that many of the things you might like to eat overseas, you can't eat back here in the U.S.

These items have been banned by the U.S. government.

Would you believe there's a federal ban on the Scottish delicacy haggis?

Not my favorite food, but a lot of people like it—it's made from a sheep's innards oats and cooked inside the animal's stomach.

You can't order beluga caviar here either—the Beluga sturgeon is considered an endangered species.

Ever heard of Kinder surprise? It's very popular in Europe—they are chocolate eggs with a toy inside.

But a U.S. law forbids the sale of non-edible objects embedded within food products.

Question—how did Cracker Jack get away with it this long?

For the moment, you can still get and consume these products overseas. Just not here.
