Although I enjoyed Trader Joe's when I lived in the US,
just to present a different view on the subject, these
days I can find a bigger and better selection of truly
International items, and at better prices, from my
neighborhood Albert Heijn supermarket (largest chain
in the Netherlands). One of the benefits of living in
a truly multinational country is that "international
foods" means "ordinary everyday foods, the things that
ordinary everyday people eat."
I can find more Indonesian, Japanese, Chinese, Mexican,
Spanish, French, Chilean, Pacific Islander and whatever
foods in my local market than I ever could at Trader Joe's.
Same with restaurants; even in the smallest towns there
is no ethic food you cannot find -- prepared perfectly,
and fairly affordable.
It's one of the joys of living here. In many ways it's
far more gastronomically international than Paris. And
the waiters here aren't rude. :-)
