My lady friend is from North Vietnam (they moved to South after communism because at least it wasn't as bad, then she escaped in the 80s, very harrowingly). She tells all kinds of stories about things they had as a kid that just disappeared. Like pineapples was one from just the last couple days. They just "went away."
A friend of mine was from East Germany ---- they were happy to get bananas, that they never had before.

Like a person from a banana republic asking "what's saurkraut?"
Just tell them it's an irritable German.
I resemble this remark

Just tell them it's like kimchi.
