I’m trying to think of the last food item I’ve eaten that was made in Europe, without success.
I’ve moved and become Canadian… but I was born American and raised it.
I love the shit out of quality marzipan.
Proper pickled onions and Branston pickle.
German chocolate is like a whole other food than the wax that Hershey’s pretends is the real thing.
Try Belgian chocolate next
As a swiss person “Hershey” is not choclate — it is a candy.
Soapy-tasting wax, at that.
Twinings (UK version) Extra Strong Breakfast Tea with Digestives dark chocolate biscuits.
W SAUCE
Banoffee pie.
Can’t find bakeries nearby that make it. Silly.
Danish butter cookies are pretty awesome
Those tins never contain cookies when I see them.
They are sewing tins, the butter cookies are stowaways.
European sardines are VASTLY superior to most of the stuff you get in the US
I love that Smarties are naturally colored. All our candy is basically carcinogenic
what’s the source for your candy being carcinogenic?
Which ones, the chalky fruity ones or the candy coated chocolates?
Smarties are two different things in the US and Europe so you have to specify.
It’s not from Europe but I wouldn’t feel the same if I couldn’t get Pocky anymore.

Dutch chocolate which is very good, and uses a slavery-free supply chain.
But not a lead free chain

Welp. That’s depressing
CR uses shit science, doesn’t open source their papers, isn’t peer-reviewed and goes against WHO and FOA recommendations. source
CR’s latest article on heavy metals in chocolates advised readers that “kids and pregnant people should consume dark chocolate sparingly, if at all, because heavy metals pose the highest risk to young children and developing babies.”
But medical toxicologists who spoke with Ars disagreed with the “sparingly, if at all” suggestion.
“I don’t see evidence that pregnant people or children will be harmed from eating food from time to time with concentrations at the levels described in the article,” Stolbach told Ars.
Feed your babies all the chocolate you want then.
As far as I’m concerned it’s a self solving problem.
totally normal way to respond to a scientific critique of misinformation
Damn. Pick your battles I guess, I’ll die of lead poisoning to keep people free
I think it’s more like “The chocolate supply chain is poisoning you in general” tbh, so go with Tony’s because it’s the ethical choice of delicious lead.
Preparing EU exit tariffs for the upcoming trade war with the US?
In that case, fancy wines that rich people buy.
Chianti Classico from Italy. It’s just soooooo smooth.
Seitenbacher Museli is delicious too.
But you can make a kick ass veg broth with scraps, dried shitake, and a piece of kombu.
And the Museli I can also make at home.
