Biggest problem I had cooking a turkey in Germany was making sure I bought one small enough to fit in my oven! (I had friends on military bases who would get me an American turkey - but it had to be a small one.) When we first moved to Germany, I couldn’t find pecans anywhere, but later the grocer started carrying small cans of them. I could usually find good ones at Aldi. You’re right - pecan pies always went over big! (And I discovered that the strudel dough in the fridge section made a pretty good pie crust. Better than using the German flour.)

Nutello is big in Europe (created in Italy) - wherever we went, breakfast bars always included Nutella and fresh croissants. Oh my.
