Midwestern ethnic cuisine (as seen from Sweden)
Just bought some "american soup" in Sweden 
...I saw this in the store nearby and had to have some, it was just too funny to resist. I'm sure the labels on "ethnic" food in America are just as funny to people from those places.
Check it out, with my certified translation:
"Straight from the American Midwest comes the idea for a soup that has, for generations, given the right energy to build barns, milk cows, and dance the square dance. The trick is simple: an exciting blend of vegetables, dumplings*, and hearty spices. Next, just let simmer in a pot, ring the farmyard bell, and expect them to all rush in! Yee-haw!"
Yee-haw?
It was right beside the "Mexican soup".
Note also the lovely statue of liberty on the front, under "Soups of the World":

*Not really dumplings. Frikadeller, which are supposed to be Danish meatballs. But these were too small to be anything more than meat smarties.

If you see Canadian soup, or any Canadian foodstuffs other than maple syrup, I'd love to hear about it.
Perhaps Canadian soup could be described something like this:
"Straight from the Canadian Tundra comes the idea for a soup that has, for generations, given the right energy to chop wood, trap and skin animals, and survive an icy winter. The trick is simple: an exciting blend of wheat, pemmican and blubber. Eh?"
Note also the lovely CN Tower on the front.
LMAO, Rohan! I'll be looking out for Canadian soup...
Did you eat it yet? The best before date just past! I hope you aren't considering eating it now.
