It's rare to find here but commonplace in Germany I like have a German beer, pork knuckle, and some boiled vegetables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyla Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 That's not so exotic for me, only a strange pair. Probably I would find it too salty. On the other hand I tried peanut butter when I was an adult already, I didn't know what to expect, I imagined it something like Nutella, so I was totally shocked that it's salty, and couldn't imagine that you ppl over there can eat it. But this pb-jam combo was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cult Icon Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 ^ I was only kidding P & J and Tuna are considered "struggle foods" in certain contexts. P & J is associated with adolescents, college student poverty, and public school lunches. There are a large variety of peanut butters, the best are freshly churned ones that are weighed by the pound. Beware: P & J sandwiches have very high calories (400, 500)- similar to eating a hamburger. I like eating them too but I gain weight when I do. Elvis Presley is famous for liking extreme versions of P & J sandwiches (including fried bananas, ham, bacon etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cult Icon Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 http://candidcuisine.net/cookie-butter-smackdown/ I am going to go to a European food store and try this for the first time. It's supposed to be godly: Even Nabisco jumped onto the bandwagon: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cult Icon Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I just bought/ate it It's great but not godly. It's smashed ginger cookies and oil. The crunchy version can be eaten out of a can. I used the spread with some sweet biscuits. Overall, it's not really craze- worthy. Almond butter is more healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enrico_sw Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Flan au chocolat!! I think that it can be translated "Chocolate Custard Pie" in English, but Flan is not really like the pies I've seen across the Channel... It's one of the best desserts I know. Not too sweet (but a little bit of fat which is what we need ) (it needs to be done by the right person for it to be good ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cult Icon Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I had Avocado Kale Salad and Avocado Toast in a liberal enclave in downtown Portland, Maine. A homeless man, pushing a cart even screamed "Damn Liberals! Think you own the world!" Opinions about kale salads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrico_sw Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 ^ as for many stuff, it depends on how it's prepared (dressing, spices, etc.) I really like avocado (and guacamole!) I often use it with other foodstuff to make them better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrico_sw Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Kale is not very famous in Europe. I hear that it's very fashionable in the US. What kind of virtues is it supposed to have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer if Kale replaced all lettuce but it's probably not happening anytime soon.... Kale has much higher nutrition density than many other vegetables. I like the taste.
