An American woman has been mocked by hundreds after sharing a TikTok documenting her struggle to find common food items in Australian supermarkets.
Gabrielle, who recently moved from America to Adelaide, is confused as to why she can’t find ‘ground beef or chicken broth’ in-store – however she’s unaware they’re just under different names (mince and stock).
‘If you think grocery shopping is hard try grocery shopping in a foreign country,’ Gabrielle shared online.

In the TikTok Gabrielle compares the common American names for food items and what the Australian names are.
‘Heavy cream is thickened cream here, fries are called chips at restaurants but chips are called chips in the grocery store,’ Gabrielle said.
The Adelaide-based expat also shared that she ‘can’t find ground beef, ground sausage’, although as many know the food item is a supermarket staple and called mince meat.
Her TikTok has received over 286,000 views, with many comments from Aussies saying ‘just cause we call it something different doesn’t mean we don’t have it’, ‘Broth = stock and ground meat = mince meat ,’ a user commented online
Gabrielle also shared that she didn’t think the nation stocks chicken broth, when again Australians just call it chicken stock.
Her TikTok has received over 286,000 views, with many comments from Aussies saying ‘just cause we call it something different doesn’t mean we don’t have it’.

She also shared her confusion regarding the bag situation at supermarkets.
‘You have to buy your bags, they don’t just have a bunch of plastic bags for free,’ she said.
‘We want people to use reusable bags, not plastic,’ an Aussie woman said.
Many have also shared shopping tips to Gabrielle who is ‘grateful and happy to be here [in Australia]’.
