Fatso! ;-)

You meant, if food[:1] != '_', otherwise you'd eat people's private
foods too...

But what I would do is:

d = {}
exec '''\
from Europe.France import chocolate, wine, cheese # comment out one of
from Europe.Italy import chocolate, wine, cheese  # these lines
from Europe.Germany import bread
from Europe.Netherlands import vla
...
''' in d, d

for food in d.values():
    eat(food)
