The best way to spend a vacation is to explore the ins and outs of a foreign supermarket. As Brits, we might have some idea of the exotic goods found on shelves overseas.
But when our American friends visit us in the UK, they can discover a wide variety of chains – from Tesco to Asda. Recently, one American shared his adventure at Sainsbury's, where he stumbled upon something unexpected while grocery shopping. He wrote in the post, “Hi everyone. I found something I didn't expect at all at Sainsbury's today… masa flatbreads!” reports The Mirror.

Fans of Mexican cuisine have likely tried masa tortillas when making tacos. They are an integral part of South American cuisine and are generally gluten-free.
Masa tortillas are prized for their authentic, rich corn flavor and dense texture, which stands the test of time better than store-bought tortillas, even with a moist filling. So it's understandable why an American was thrilled to discover them in the UK.
In the message, the man continued: “I didn’t have to say anything, my partner knew we would buy them.
We decided to change up our dinner plans by making tacos, and they turned out quite delicious. They smelled just right and (mostly) tasted just right. Now I need to see if they make more of them. Highly recommended. Product Name: Cantina del Sabor, Cali Street.

Since the post was published on Reddit, it has garnered dozens of likes and reactions.
One American said: “Oh, thanks for the advice! I'll check it out now.”
Another added: “This is amazing! Thanks for telling me about this.”
A third confessed: “Yay! I used to accidentally find corn tortillas at TK Maxx too!”
Meanwhile, someone else remarked, “I've seen these at Aldi before.”
One of them confessed, “As a Mexican who moved from California, the thing I missed most was corn tortillas. When I found them, I almost cried. Haha, they taste just like the original street tacos.”
“I've ordered from Chingona Tortilleria but I've never been able to get service from them fast enough to make it work + the cost of ordering and delivery.”
A pack of 15 tacos is available at Sainsbury's for £1.75. For best results, heat them in a little oil for 20 seconds per side.
