We don't really do salad cream, we have Miracle Whip which is supposed to be used for salad dressing but most people use it like mayonnaise because its very thick.

I suppose if you diluted Miracle Whip with vinegar and an extra egg yolk it would be similar. Salad cream is shitty anyway, I just use based Kyupie mayo on my salads.

Ever try making your own? Key ingredient if you can get your hands on any copycoat of the cereal (Can use crispix) is simply worchestershire sauce. You can bake it or even microwave the sauce onto the snack.

In Sainsburys earlier I saw a kid throwing a temper tantrum and screaming at his mum to buy him some Twinkies. He wasn't older than 12 years old. His mum offered to get him some mini rolls instead (which are better IMO) but he started fucking SCREECHING at the top of his lungs 'TWINKIES TWINKIES TWINKIES' until she gave up and threw them into the trolley.

£5.50
Five pounds and fucking fifty pence for 10 cakes.

Just out of curiosity I followed them around for a bit. The kid kept grabbing the twinkies box out of the trolley and putting it on top of the other food then telling his mum 'mum if you replace these with mr kipling again I will run away from home'. They also had Ben and Jerries ice cream, processed slices of cheese, and when she tried to get some Penne pasta the kid calmy took it out of her hands and took elbow Macaroni instead. She nervously said 'oh sorry steve, I forgot you need this for your mac and cheese'. She looked like a woman crushed by the minimum wage lifestyle combined with the american culture in OUR supermarkets.

Dunno if y'all have them or not, but https://www.jellybelly.com/ (guess I could have checked for a .co.uk, but well, we're here now), as far as different, they actually generally taste like the flavor that they're supposed to taste like. Some of them I love, some I hate, and some are just trolls (like the Harry Potter flavors).

>What's the thing most of you eat?
Really it's mostly stuff like the main chocolate bar varieties (snickers, three musketeers, baby ruth, milkyway, etc.) which if you didn't grow up eating, you won't like. To tell the truth, I don't really see many people eating candy candies that much any more. It might just be my age (mid 30s), but also I've noticed through my life the candy section's gotten a lot smaller.

If you are ever in Pennsylvania try Wilbur's Candies. If you are ever in California try the stuff by the company Annabelles.

What is up with this anyway? I live in Japan now, and the foreign food stores are complete shit. Mexican section? Select the grossest whitest flyover mexicanoid food you can possibly imagine, and then stock that only. WHY! Why is all your Mexican food imported from Australia and America, instead of Mexico?

The foreign alcohol section is always perfect though.

And in America, you can be sure all the Japanese supermarkets stock the same things. Horrid bread that isn't sold in Japan. Hawaiian drinks. Dollar store food. Food you find in actual Japanese stores? Not a chance. Where do they find this shit and why do they choose it over the things Japanese people actually eat?
