Sajeeb Ready Mix Pancake
We sure live in a global village. Never imagined instant pancake mix will be made and sold in Bangladesh. This pancake mix doesn't exactly taste like the pancakes mixes you find at supermarkets in the Europe and Americas but it is good. It has a bit of floury taste to it which you may or may not like but you will only know if you try it. The taste will definitely need to be modified to match with the America/European ones if the manufacturer is interested in exporting them.

Crown Farms Chandpuri Hilsa
It was very exciting when I ran into this at a local Vietnamese grocery store. There is a wide selection of fish and seafood there and most them are from Vietnam and Thailand. I didn't expect to see my favorite fish there but I did. On the same note, Hilsa/Ilish is probably the favorite fish of 125% Bengalis :). Hilsa is not cheap in Bangladesh/India and neither was this one but ask any Bengali, he/she will pay the price for the unforgettable taste of Hilsa - yummm! I think the price of Hilsa is same in Western world as it is in Bangladesh now. However, you will probably have better luck finding Hilsa in grocery stores of Europe, Middle East and Americas than in Bangladesh since a while lot of them are exported.
