If you can't sell non-food covered in food, why are fortune cookies allowed?

As an Irish person, I always thought the problem with the horse meat scandal in the UK and here was that horse meat was being packaged and sold as beef or other not horse meats.

The tesco horse meat thing was because tesco labelled them as beef, outright lying to buyers, when there was a meat shortage. That pissed everyone off more than it being horse.

The thing with the horse meat in the UK was more about it a) not being included in the ingredients list, b) it not being what it was supposed to be (which is why it wasn't included in the ingredients list, because it was disguised as other meats), and c) being potentially contaminated with drugs not intended to be in human food. Of course some people were sad about the idea of eating horses too, but that's waaaaay down the list of concerns, obviously food safety and proper ingredient tracking was far more important. Random meats from questionable sources without guarantees of fitness for human consumption disguised/sold as something entirely different could be quite dangerous.

The maple producing states have strict regulations on what can be called maple syrup. It has to be 100% maple syrup to legally be called maple syrup. Vermont sued McDonalds over this and that’s why it’s called Hotcake Syrup. The syrup provided at Cracker Barrel is actually maple syrup. Comes from Vermont.

It’s also illegal to produce Foie Gras in Germany so these rules don’t always apply EU wide. The import is allowed though. Very interesting and entertaining video ☺️

Italian guy here, that kind of cheese was produced and consumed not only in Sardinia but in other Italian regions too. For example I'm from Apulia and my grandfather used to eat it (he says it's actually good), but it's called 'Formaggio coi vermi', literally 'cheese with worms'. Sometimes you can still find it and buy it, but I've never eaten it.

So fun fact: the Kinder Egg and Wonder Ball lasted until 1997 in the states. The reason is because Kinder had already established that the toys were not mixed into the food itself, as the chocolates are hollow and clearly advertise the toy inside. It wasn't until the Hershey Company sued them that they were forced from the states. Turns out, Hershey was pushing to be the primary chocolate provider in the states, so it capitalized on the fact that both the Kinder Egg and Nestle's Wonder Ball had plastic objects inside, suggesting the risk of a choking hazard. This worked, and had the unintended side-effect of setting precedent to ban toys from cereal boxes as well, which combined with the cost of licensing toys and complaints from parents having their kids suggest cereal exclusively for the toy, was enough to have the idea scrapped preemptively.

As a Canadian that recently watched a video of an American trying foreign treats for the first time and she legit just tried going at the kinder egg whole and choked on the toy container inside 😅🤦‍♀️ I was like so it’s really true 🤣 I really hope it was fake but it didn’t seem like it lol

The moment he said Sardinia, I thought: “Maggot Cheese”.

The USDA is not an organization whose aim is to improve US food standards. Their job is to ensure that top-level food distributors are happy, just like the FDA. Their guidelines are seldom based on health or nutrition.

Tonka beans being dangerous feels competitive to almonds or nutmeg being ‘dangerous’ right? Like sure, if you have ‘too much’. But that’s literally what too much means Also, with the kinder egg thing, does that mean they can’t sell packaged fruit chunks with a spoon in the packaging for example?

I used to work in microbial safety testing in a small lab in the UK and about half of the things we were testing were various dairy products. Any dairies that used unpasteurised milk would send a sample from a batch for us to test before using it in produciton as well. They were actually the most stressful to get in because to be certified legally you have to culture a full 25g for at least two different tests which use reagents which can inhibit the growth of the others, so they need to send at least 75g for a single round of tests. Then you get people who've sent in a single core weighing something like 15g. Try telling a farmer who runs a business with a turnover approaching ten million a year who has product that now has a fairly limited shelf life because he's cracked it that you can't certify his product because he hasn't sent enough and the results are going to be delayed a week. That sure was fun on a near weekly basis.

Having once encountered maggoty cheese (bad piece of brie on a camping trip with friends), our response was more scream and hurl it from the tent than 'hmm, wonder if it still tastes good'

If I decided to move from Europe to the US, I could probably deal with most things. Not having easy access to European cheese though would probably tip me over the edge. Having a cheese counter is such a familiar part of food shopping nowadays.

I tried Casu martzu cheese last year whilst on a holiday in Sardinia, it is difficult to find on the island even if you want to try it, but I managed to stumble across it at a family style home restaurant near where I was staying. It likely being my only chance to ever try it, I gave it a go. For context the 'maggots' within it are tiny and are mostly removed before it is served. The cheese is made creamier and softer as a result, but it is incredibly strong in flavour, only a few small bites is enough for most. I would recommend giving it a try if you're ever lucky enough to get an opportunity to try it though.

IIRC the Horse meat 'scandal' came down to a certain supplier or abattoir somewhere in central Europe supplying a number of European food manufacturers with beef contaminated by untraced horse meat. The supermarkets copped for a lot of the flak but ultimately they were being misled. Horse is fine to eat but any untraced meat, especially as in this case that which was not intended for human consumption is a massive issue, hence the 'scandal'.

The "Kinder egg / non-edibles inside food" rule feels really funny to me. Especially given how the Kinder surprise is fine becuase its immediately adjacent to the goop. I guess this is also how cereal companies got away with toys inside cereal boxes too?

Talking about the horse meat in Tesco, my biggest issue is the lack of communication. I'll eat a horse burger, just dont tell me its beef 🤣 EDIT: Kinder chocolate is the best, I'm nearly 30 and I will still get a kinder bar from the shop

The "small" Italian island is the second biggest in the mediterranean sea (after Sicily) and the 48th biggest in the world, bigger than any US island 😅

I live in one of the US states that allow raw milk. I didn't like milk much until I tasted raw. 😋 About a decade ago, there was a threat that raw milk would be banned so one day, upon picking up my family's raw milk from a private vendor gave me their plan how to get us raw milk if it becomes illegal to sell. 😆I was young and felt so mischievous having this conversation with our vendor. Lol.

I had no idea what tonka beans were until you mentioned it, but the flavor profile you described makes it sound like a really good addition to most hot beverages or even a tea in its own right. Black tea with tonka beans sounds delightful

There were two pretty good reasons for the horse meat scandal being a scandal - firstly, in a lot of cases it wasn't on the labels, which is a serious matter because that could mean any number of other (possibly dangerous) things could also be in the food and not included on the label. Secondly, horses that are not intended to be in the human food chain are given antibiotics and other drugs that aren't supposed to be ingested by humans. There's nothing wrong with eating horse meat, as long as it's pretty clearly shown on the label and the horses were raised with that intention.

I lived in Tokyo as a child in the 1970s. My parents belonged to a St Andrews society as my dad was Scottish. The society tried to fly a haggis in for St Andrew’s day but it was confiscated by Japanese customs because it fell foul of their rules too. Not sure what specifically though.

The only thing you didn't discuss in the Tonka beans section is what the biological half life of coumarin is. I mean it's all well and good if the limit is 2400 dishes a day or a week, but if it stays in your body on the order of months or years that's a lot more significant.

Regarding Foie Gras there's actually a Spanish farmer named Eduardo Sousa who produces Foie Gras from wild geese without force-feeding them, Business insider did a video on him, it's pretty interesting.

I grew up drinking raw milk from my neighbor's farm. I remember the first time I had pasteurised milk on a camping trip, I thought it tasted really weird. Where I'm from in the US it's fully legal, but now I'm in Scotland where it's not legal :(

If a kinder egg banned according to that law, shouldnt any form of a lolipop also be banned, since it a stick surrounded by a candy. What about corndogs?

Apparently my great grandfather loved old mouldy cheese with maggots in. The maggots tasted like the stinky cheese too, so I’m told…which leads me to conclude he ate the maggots with the cheese. Lovely. But then he was a colourful guy. He survived the trenches at the Battle of the Somme alongside his best mate, then got sent to Ireland with his best mate only for his mate to be murdered as part of a honey trap. He also went to prison for throwing a debt collector out of a closed window. So I guess a preference for maggot cheese was just part of being him.

Tonka beans, unlike vanilla beans, are actual beans. Inside looks like a peanut with little crystals growing in it (sometimes). They’re used for the smell, not the taste, and just a tiny amount of it grated over food has a HUGE impact on the aroma which then changes the perceived flavors. I got a guy in Spain who gets me mine. Personal use only. I use them in my coffee and I use them instead of nutmeg for classic cocktails (nutmeg used to be an incredibly common ingredient in mixology). After using one my fingernails smell for hours. Like vanilla, cinnamon, black pepper, freshly cut grass, sunshine, the love of a woman…. Just a heavenly indescribable scent. Also the reason the FDA banned Tonka Beans was because coumarin was being used as an adulterant for vanilla. It’s a cheap source of coumarin and extracting it is cheaper than synthesizing it. Chemists were making vanilla compounds that could be up to 60% coumarin. The ban went in effect at roughly the same time as other bans on adultering food products.

When you're above the age of 9, no one buys the Kinder egg for the toy... you buy it for the container, they're perfect for pound coins

As an Italian I have to say that casu marsu isn’t available anywhere else in italy, it’s allowed to survive in sardina only for cultural preservation. We on the mainland are safe from rotten cheese 😂 I believe that somewhere else in the world there are other kinds of cheese that have live mites instead of maggots, at least we are not unique in having a cheese that moves…

My dear Evan, I had forgotten my glasses and picked up what I thought was a wedge of Brie at the local market [believe it or not in the US]. Someone had put this Alsatian abomination in the wrong place. I am told that the taste is amazing, but the stench was so off-putting that I couldn't get even a small amount close enough to my mouth to taste it. It so happened that I had some French students, so I brought it to school an offered it to them. Their reaction was, "It may be French, but it smells like "merde" and we won't eat it."

You should consider to go to Sardinia, not for the cheese though, but the island got some really nice beaches, and is well worth a trip, even though it doesn't exist 🤣

I was thinking 'fair enough" to the banning raw milk until you said that means they can't have camembert 😱 I wouldn't drink raw milk personally, don't think its worth the risk. But i couldn't be without nice cheese or clotted cream 😂

My class took a trip to the EU years ago. We were around 16-17 at the time and were excited to try these OG kinder eggs that were banned at home. Somebody didn’t get the memo and chewed the toy because they thought it was a gummy, lmao

As an Italian, when I see ovetto kinder in the thumbnail I just click as quickly as possible.

I'm willing to try just about any food. I've eaten horse meat hotdog in Germany (very tasty), fried locusts and grasshoppers in Bangkok (the locusts were lovely - tasted just like pork scratchings. The grasshoppers, not so much so. Not keen on them), proper haggis in Scotland (love it! It reminds me of savoury duck - which doesn't actually contain any duck, as far as I know), I've made my own duck liver paté and wines from foraged fruits, flowers and berries and I've also really liked every cheese I've tried (including Yarg, which is wrapped in nettle leave - no, they don't sting your mouth because they're dead by that point - and Stinking Bishop, which is named after the Stinking Bishop perry it's washed in. Perry is made from pears and, fun fact, look on the label of a bottle of Rekorderlig "cider" and you'll see it's not made from apples. It's a Perry and is made from pears with fruit flavourings added). But I absolutely draw the line at Casu Marzu. I wouldn't let that stuff pass my lips if I was going to be paid enough money to retire very comfortably on from that day to the end of my life and the very thought of it turns my stomach! I can't even begin to imagine how bad it must smell! Apparently, it's actually quite difficult to get hold of in Sardinia too, which is perhaps a Really Good Thing...

I just want to say, to absolutely nobody in particular, that it’s not my fault I have to live in Arizona right now… it’s just temporary I swear 😭

I’ve seen Kinder eggs in the US. They’re in European specialty stores, like European delis and bakeries. They’re also sold at military base commissaries. And you can get black pudding in every Irish pub in the US, too. It’s lovely.

Raw milk is legal in California as well (with a warning label). Every Health Food store in CA sells it.

The horse meat scandal wasn't because people were necessarily upset about eating horse meat, it was because there was a major discrepancy between the listed contents on item's packaging and the actual thing you were buying - the supermarkets didn't know what they were selling and therefore had no idea if anything unsafe for human consumption was being sold as food.

In Finland (Non-Ceylon) cinnamon is actually not allowed in any baby food until the kid turns 1 because of the same reason!

I remember reading about the maggot cheese on Wikipedia. One section that stuck with me: _Some who eat the cheese prefer not to ingest the maggots. Those who do not wish to eat them place the cheese in a sealed paper bag. The maggots, starved for oxygen, writhe and jump in the bag, creating a "pitter-patter" sound. When the sounds subside, the maggots are dead and the cheese can be eaten._ That's kinda wild.

"If your baby was going to choke on a toy, it was a stupid baby anyway" - W2S, about Kinder Eggs.

I really loved the energy you give out in this video. Plus the info, it's so interesting. Thank you for the research and the fun delivery :)

The horsemeat scandal was primarily based around two problems in the UK: 1. They said it was beef 2. The horses slaughtered weren't subject to the same regulations as cows bred for slaughter, meaning that it was possible they could have been diseased.

In France, there used to be a 'boucherie chevaline' in most towns (horse butcher shop) until the younger generation stopped eating horse meat and also other 'delicacies' such as lamb's brain; tripe used to be popular but is now quite expensive as less people are enjoying it (I love it personally, especially the one cooked in tomato, herbs and white wine).

My Sardinian wife is laughing. There’s another Sardinian cheese which is called callu de cabrettu. Look it up…

as someone who grew up with Kindereggs - even though I wouldnt want to miss them in my childhood - I see the biggest issue with Kindereggs in the gambling addiction they promote. They don't do it quite as much anymore, but they used to have very cool figurine series (little hippos or dinosaurs, or even disney figurines) and the chance to get one of them was 1:6. So on average, you'd get one in every 7th egg. But of course you'd get doubles so to complete your collection you'd have to actually buy quite a lot. there was an aspect of fomo too, because the series would go away to replaced for a new one at some point. Most kids at some point were quite expert in telling from the way they rattle if they'd contain a figurine or not. It was like very rudimentary gacha for playschool and elementary school kids. i think they cut down on that quite a lot as far as I can tell. less elaborate (less thoughtful) in the series they put out, and at least in Germany I see lots of sales displays of them where you get a guaranteed figurine.

My Wife and I used to buy a type of meat from Tesco that turned out to be Horse they had to withdraw it due to false labelling. If they had just stuck Horse Meat labels on it we would have continued to buy it. It is delicious.

Ikea also had a controversy when they had accidental horse meat in their meatballs😂 I worked at Ikea at that point and we had dozens of customers daily coming to ask if they could please buy the meatballs because it was considered a delicacy😅 Unfortunately we were not allowed to sell the faulty items. And I do understand that the issue with this drama was more the fact that the meatballs included meat that was not up to standards😅

lots of things that are banned because "it could hurt you or kill you" hits the 2 parts of my personality where I go "that makes sense, but sometimes if you're that stupid to eat something you know will kill you in amounts that will kill you, then it's your own goddamn fault"

27 US states allow the sale of raw milk within their borders. Restrictions do apply. In Massachusetts, where I live, raw milk can only be sold on the farms where it is produced. 💕

"Everything is legal in New Jersey, except the sale of raw milk." Yeah, and pumping your own gas. Also, Casu Marzu is pretty unique. Not something I'd eat on a regular basis, but considering all the things in my life I've eaten, it was probably on the least terrible side. :)

You're one of the very few KZfaqrs that can make a video about just about anything and I'll enjoy it. Fuck the algorithm!

Kinder Surprise eggs are great. 🙂 They are available in every grocery store in Canada and they have larger sized eggs for Easter, Christmas and Valentine's Day. Children love them. Can't say the waxy chocolate is healthy but neither is vegetable oil.

Love your sarcastic and punny nature, it isn't cheesy at all.

With the sheer absurd quantity of puns, I found myself genuinely wanting somebody to wander in and slap you, which is unusual

Love this. Keep being creative with your content. Keep your improv songs at the end.

America: worried about raw milk, not worried about junk food 🤷

I lived in Arizona for a while Right next to a weekly farmers market And one of the usual farmers had a cow farm and sold freshish milk (like milked within the last 2 days) And while I am severely lactose intolerant I bought one it was pretty good some of the best milk I’ve ever had

I can handle it when it's like, cruelty or health related... my favorite UK chocolate bar is a Yorkie bar. Which is banned for import into the US. Hershey blocked it on the basis that it would infringe on the York peppermint patty trademark, and Americans would be confused into thinking that's what a Yorkie was. Course... I can't eat them anymore anyway because I have celiac disease, but when I lived in the US I remember being quite upset when they disappeared from the international aisles.

In Finland, 3-5 years old children usually break a chocolate egg because it's fun for them and then eat it piece by piece, after which a plastic capsule remains, which they ask their parents to open because they can't open it themselves. Older children already know how to open the capsule themselves, but over time they lose their attraction to feather eggs. In Finland, maybe something is done right when chocolate eggs are never given directly to children who are under 3 years old, and 3-year-old children already know what they can eat and what they can't eat. But one thing that the EU could ban is the Swedish fermented fish Surströmming, whose smell is so strong that it easily causes people to feel sick and vomit, and the smell of the Surströmming can that has been opened indoors is not easily removed and you have to smell it inside for a week or longer if the can is not opened outside.

9:27 I live in Arizona and living anywhere else seems not particularly sensible -- I couldn't imagine being at risk of tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, blizzards, tsunamis, etc. - and not having to deal with snow for half the year is beautiful.

My grandma used to boil the milk for breakfast, even if it was pasteurized milk bought at the supermarket. It an habit she inherited from living in a farm for most of her life.

I live in Sardinia, Italy, although I'm not originally from there but I'm Romanian. Sardinia is very particular, the population loves its island (it has beautiful beaches that you can't imagine) and doesn't even consider itself Italian, on the contrary, it hates the continent. I can also give the example of the language, it is totally different from Italian, more similar to Spanish. I have often tasted Casu Martzu, unfortunately not yet with worms, it is a very spicy cheese and can also be spread on bread. Trying it doesn't hurt anyone, I've eaten some strange things.

Honestly fresh honey and some thawed frozen fruit mixed together. The juice that comes out and the tenderness of the thaw is off putting in some places but works beautifully as a syrup substitute. I prefer over maple.

Evan: “Choosing to live in Arizona is about the least sensible thing you can do.” Ohio: “Am I not a joke to you?”

I feel like Evan woke up and chose violence. He was scarred by rotten cheese and decided we also needed to be scarred.

Definitely enjoy this new format! :D

Like the format. I've just been doing research ie googling,because I've NEVER HEARD of Tonka Beans and now I know all about them. They're from a flowering tree called Dypteryx odorata that grows throughout north-east South America notably in Venezuela,Guyana and Brazil. The pink sprays of pea like pink flowers that are fragrant really make a show in the green rain forest and the fruit is eaten by lots of creatures including monkeys,parrots,bats,toucans,coati mundis and agoutis and great green macaws can strip a tree they love them so much. So if you buy some you're stealing the wild critturs food. I'd like to give one or two a try though. They are similar to Vanilla in culinary use. Due to that illegal logging they're getting cut down and it takes hundreds of years for a new tree to grow to harvest worth size from a tiny seed so that must push up the price. I've learned something new,at my age! As regards horsemeat. It's hugely popular in Belgium,even more than France. Just as well as there has to be some sort of commercial value for those Dartmoor and New Forest ponies or the owners wouldnt bother. Cruel but true. They don't all get bought for little girls. Horsemeat was in everything,ready meals from every supplier out there. And none of us consumers noticed. It tastes alright. In WW2 there were shops that sold horsemeat,it was the only meat that was unrationed. I only know this because a caller in on a radio phone in told of how as a little boy in WW2 his mother sent him to buy horsemeat every day before school for the evening meal because she was too embarrassed to be seen going in as were many people who used subterfuges to get their meat,hoping their neighbours wouldnt notice. I'd like to put in a word for the virtue signal-hated McDonald's,where I never go but I have once ate there with others and twice had some fries and once a cup of tea BUT this much defamed company was the one place thst was totally untouched by the scandal and I actually contacted the information place to check and it's true that in UK at least,can't speak for other countries,they ONLY use British raised beef. They buy beef raised by British farmers that is grass fed grazed in those wild upland areas like Wales etc where no other kind of agriculture is feasible. I'm not FOR McDs but praise where it's due. Better shut up now I didn't intend this comment to be so long.

Me: “I have heard of tonka beans before… must’ve been from my ex (professional chef)”. Me after seeing the news blurb: 👀👀👀 (that’s the restaurant he interned at).

8:58 Sehr lustig, wie du plötzlich Deutsch sprichst :D

Actually, there absolutely WAS a scandal about horse meat in France!! It was found in lasagna and not properly advertised, meaning people unknowingly ate some, and it was a pretty big thing at the time.

While horse meat is perhaps not as common as beef, chicken, pork or lamb, it's not uncommon to see it sold, at least not in Sweden. It's readily available as sandwich meat in most stores I frequent (often named "Hamburger meat", as in meat from Hamburg, though that's an inherited title for a way of preparing it for consumption), and my local butcher carries horse meat, though the nice cuts are so outrageously expensive that I've never considered trying it. I think the scandal that happened, which was also a thing in Sweden, I don't know if we imported frozen food from the same manufacturer or if it was just a general scare that maybe if it happened in the UK it could happen here as well, but I think it's mostly about your food containing something not specified on the label, as well as if they are filling it up with horse meat it's probably not that super expensive fine stuff that they are adding.

I think the taboo about horse meat is mostly in the english-speaking world. I've hadn't had much horse meat in my life because it's often rare and expensive but there is no particular taboo about it. I grew up in a town where in the countryside just a bit south east of it there is a village/meat factory, famous for it's horse meat salami. It wasn't my favorite, I prefer smoked ham, but it's ok on a sandwich. Just a bit too expensive for everyday consumption.

I just learned that I should probably lower my (currently very high) daily consumption of cinnamon…😅

omg yes been waiting for this!!

I grew up drinking raw cows milk and never had any problems with it. I would still prefer it over the homogenized/sterilized/artificially created D2 added store milk. In Sweden, "hamburger" was thinly sliced horse meat -- don't know if it still is or not (been a while since anyone from that side of the family has been over there).

America: Don't over feed those ducks, it's cruel America: Hey kids here's a burger meal with a gallon of soda for $5

In Sweden we have horsemeat as cold cuts on our sandwiches. Not super common but definitely available in most stores. But honestly, horsemeat is very delicious. I have been to Kazakhstan where it is very common to eat horsemeat and it was tender and mild and just great to eat. So I feel it is a bit of a social thing to ban horsemeat, not so much to do with wether the meat is any good or not. Like how cow meat is banned in India. We in the west clearly couldn't care less about that.

Anything you put together is fun and informative, like the BBC you inform educate and entertain. Thank you.😊🤗👍

Good illustration of OLD laws that need to be relooked at and likely changed/updated with current information.

Fun to see the flip side of your "banned foods" video!

“I’m done with the sheep puns, he said sheepishly.” - ewe did not go there: baaaaaaa-d Evan, baaaaaaa-d Evan. 😜

Don't know what you want, maggots are an excellent protein donor. For sensitive there is also an alternative recipe, maggots together with potatoes to feed the pigs, gives a nice crispy "Schweinshaxn". Process the leftover potatoes into dumplings and all is well.

If you are willing to try Casu Marzu, you might also like to try German Milbenkäse, a historical regional speciality in parts of Thuringia. It uses mites to ripen the cheese and you eat the mites as part of the cheese. It's safe, but also in a legal grey area.

I'd love to see you do a colab with the Lost in the Pond guy (name's blanking on me at the moment). He came from England and has moved to America and he does a lot of America/England comparison or things I only learned since moving there sort of videos. Obviously you're on opposite sides of the pond now but maybe a web cam style convo of various little things you've experienced differently or something like that would be interesting, I think.

The US bans food that contains non-nutritive objects. Pity it doesn't ban food that contains non-nutritive substances.

The thing about foie gras is that it happens in nature anyway, kinda. Geese don't have humans putting a funnel down their throat and piping food in, true, but geese go foraging before they migrate, gorging themselves to eat more than they usually would so they have a thick layer of fat around their liver which, when they're flying for days at a time, heading to Africa for the summer, they can convert the fat to energy and don't need to feed while flying over the sea.

Bit interested in the kinder egg controversy. I was a bit surprised because I remember a similar ban happening for a candy that if I remember correctly was called a wonder egg. Very similar to a kinder egg but it was just a chocolate ball that was hollow in the center with a toy inside. Quite easy to separate the halves of the chocolate to get to the toy as well. I had thought around when that toy was wide spread was when this ban was first introduced because I remember seeing a news report on it and how it was getting banned because the toy inside could easily be swallowed by kids who didn't know any better. They did a presentation on this by using a paper towel tube and said if the toy could fit through that a kid could accidently swallow the toy. I was surprised because only a few years ago did I start seeing kinder products in my state and we did get the ones with toys in them for a while, but i think they were temporarily taken off shelves and replaced with a kinder bar until new eggs were released without toys inside.

I grew up on Unpasturiesed milk, deliverd direct from the farm!

I'm in the US, born and raised, and I did not know the Kinder Egg was banned. You could have fooled me since I feel like I've seen them in stores. AND we used to have another type of chocolate ball with a hidden toy that I would have growing up (although I can't remember it's name since it's been about 20 years). Maybe it's another weird California thing 🤷‍♀️

there's a way to do a more ethical foie gras (note: it's not eaten just in the form of pate but also just like this is its liver form btw i'm not french). so, some farmers in Spain let their domesticated ducks/geese live with their wild counterparts when they are preparing to migrate: turns out that the fattening of their livers is a natural occurrence. before the migration also for "pepperino" you probably meant pecorino (from pecora, sheep). Sardinia is famous for having various types of pecorino (like pecorino sardo) and other various cheeses. also you can't use the italian-american accent for Sardinians. Sardinian language is one the most conservative romance language and it's very similar to latin. italian accent in america is probably from, that's a guess, derived from southern italian languages like, campanian, apulian, calabrian, sicilian etc. or anyway regionalized modern italian from those parts yes, i'm you annoying italian commenter and on a last note YOU VILL EAR ZE BUGS

So fun😂. Glad I've found your channel. The maggots cheese sounds "one step to far" 😂

Are these cheeses available in Canada? Europe is too far to go for cheese, but I’ll go to Canada.

So, what about the "prize" in said crackerjacks and breakfast cereals?

Mustard oil is also used as a hair moisturising oil which is probably how it is sold in the states...

I demand a vid of you eating casu martzu. Never heard of it before but now i don't think i could go on living without seeing you try it.
