Enjoy the things you can afford
Brand: Nestle Cost: £0.70 Found at: Tesco Yuck. I mean, just yuck. It may seem like I’ve got an ax to grind with Nestle. And I do – I think they are a corporation with a long history of corporate greed and avarice that has hurt people, particularly people at risk. But that’s... Continue Reading →
Brand: Hissa Found at: Karlstad Christmas Market I have no problem with eating moose. Moose are grumpy animals who will trample you as soon as look at you. Not only will a moose crush you to death if you hit one with your car, but I firmly believe that they take great pleasure in... Continue Reading →
Brand: Eat Grub Cost: £1 Found at: Sainsbury’s I was so confident when I bought these cricket snacks. I walked out of the Sainsbury’s with a self-righteous strut. “I’m going to eat these crickets,” I bragged to myself, as well I should. For DECADES I’ve been telling everyone that: a. we should eat bugs... Continue Reading →
Brand: Tunnock’s Found at: Iceland Cost: £1 for 6 Even the most hardened Anglophile has to admit that the UK is far from perfect. The trains never seem to run on time, the government offices never seem to be reliable or consistent, and I’ve never seen anyone litter quite like the British. That being... Continue Reading →
Brand: Sensations Cost: 90p Found at: Morrisons In the years I spent out and about in the adult world, I had forgotten just how social school-life is. I had happily gotten myself happily ensconced in the comfortably formal work relationships and increasingly distant friend relationships that define millennial early adulthood. And, being somewhat introverted... Continue Reading →
Brand: Morrisons Cost: £2 Found at: Morrisons Years ago, I somehow got a hold of a free audiobook copy of Ken Albala’s “Great Courses” lectures on the history of food. (Its long and will make you crave food wherever you go, but I recommend it.) I spent many a long commute thinking about Indian... Continue Reading →
Brand: Nestle Cost: £1.50 Found at: Morrisons Once again, Nestle has me feeling deceived. Everything about these chocolates says elegance and sophistication. They come in a long, dark green box with a provocative name. Each square of chocolate is individually wrapped in its own little paper sleeve. When I reach for one, I feel... Continue Reading →
Brand: Cloetta Cost: 5.50 KR Found at: Coop It's not a Nordic Christmas without strawberry marshmallow Santas! I actually really like these – they’re cute little marshmallow Santas in little, pink marshmallow Santa suits. They are about the consistency of a circus peanut and have that wonderful artificial strawberry flavor that instantly transports you... Continue Reading →
Brand: Morrisons Cost: £1.15 Found at: Morrisons In my head, this chocolate bar was supposed to taste like munching on a box of chocolates while sipping on a Gin and Tonic. In the cold, damp Scottish winter, this chocolate bar promised to transport me to the Cairo of Death on The Nile – all... Continue Reading →
Brand: Apotekarnes Cost: 14 KR Found at: Coop It's a long time coming, but I’ve finally gotten what’s coming to me. For years, I have delighted in watching non-Americans try root beer: gleeful in their reactions of disgust and horror. I was raised on the stuff, so I can drink it like water,... Continue Reading →
