Only common scum who work in medial jobs for 40+ years look like this.

Greggs is trash nowadays anyway. The shops and food items get smaller, the queues get bigger and the staff remain as slow as a turtle when serving you. Truly the most pleb tier of all lunch time food outlets.

I have never, ever seen it. Not in Germany where I lived a couple months as well. Probably because those countries have great chocolate traditions and we don't import foreign chocolate that much

I always wanted to try milk duds to find out why people mock them so much. Then I found them one day, and I really liked them, so now I get them whenever I can.

>>8608860
I live in the UK, so we have a strong connection to America and the Kraft company recently bought our chocolate manufacturers here.

I personally really like Reese's, peanut butter and chocolate go really well together.

i guess some brit candies, they always seem to have interesting ones in nostalgia threads

>>8608863
I normally don't like pb/chocolate combo because it's too rich but I like Reese's. I think it's because the peanut butter in the cups is dry and not as rich.

>>8608788
They taste salty

>>8608863
>the Kraft company recently ruined our chocolate manufacturers here.

FTFY

Amerifat here, Reeses is shit tier candy.

>>8608917
The only thing that has changed with Kraft owning Cadbury is the Cadbury Egg recipe being changed.

Cadbudy Dairy Milk and everything else is still the same, so I won't follow the 'Kraft ruined Cadbury' meme like the rest of the country.

Niggas, i found this in fucking Bulgaria recently.
Then again, its not widespread and I found it just in this one little shop.
It was the american candy that i've always wanted to try too, but i was kinda disappointed.
Its way too sugary and sweet, and maybe its because it was imported, it was overpriced as fuck(costed like 3 times the price of a double snickers, while its less than 50 grams)
Honestly, pretty underwhelming all in all, you are better off just buying some quality chocolate and spreading peanut butter on it

>>8608862
Revels are basically the same thing but come in a convenient bag instead of a retarded cardboard box.

I wish I could just have spreadable heart disease in a jar like you guys. It would be so wonderful for stoned munchie "cooking".

Anyone that associates with it has downs syndrome by default.

>>8609052
ate this last month, its way too "cheesy"
and i mean it in the "eating cheese flavored cheetos or chips" way, not in actual cheese way.
its pretty meh, imagine that you melted 5 slices of that disguting american plastic "cheese", but even more concentrated in a single spoon

As a UK child of the 90s I grew up watching a lot of American TV. I was obsessed with two quintessentially American foods: Oreos and Taco Bell. Shortly after the turn of the millennium I moved to the USA.

Holy fuck I was so disappointed. Fucking icing sugar between two bourbon biscuits with all the flavour chemically extracted so they have the taste and consistency of chipboard. Oreos are utter bullshit when you're from the land of the HobNob and the Jaffa Cake. Fuck whoever invented TM and fuck American TV for memeing them so hard through my childhood.

Taco Bell was pretty good though. I expected cheap and mediocre Mexican-style food and that's what it was. Better than no Mexican food, which was and mostly still is the situation over here.

>>8609072
>Better than no Mexican food, which was and mostly still is the situation over here.
just bring in more guest workers :)

>>8609024
>it was overpriced as fuck(costed like 3 times the price of a double snickers, while its less than 50 grams)
A double pack of reese's cups (assuming standard size cups) costs the same as a single snickers, so you were def getting fucked on pricing.

I personally am not a fan of Reese's cups, the peanut butter is too sweet.

>>8608788

I'm Canadian, and the thing I want to try from Europe the most is authentic middle eastern food.

>>8609072
same, they started selling oreos here in the last 5 or so years and its pretty fucking disappointing.
turned out, that the local brands making similar cookies were way better

Don't be obtuse

>the thing I want to try from Europe the most is authentic middle eastern food.

The joke being there are SOOOO many immigrants from the middle east to europe that "authentic" food would be middle eastern in origin.


It's a pol meme and not even that funny of a meme.

>>8609080
yeah, im sure that this was the case, considering that i dont think they sell it "officially" in the stores and it was imported.
tho its weird, they sell it officially here but only in cinemas, there are even buses around the city with reese's ad vinyl but not in the stores.

>>8609095

damn, you really are a fag. Still doesn't make me wrong.

>>8609102
yeah i'm sure your world view is totally accurate considering your life experiences probably span the ~300 miles around where you were born.

>>8609095
so?doesnt make it wrong.
you can stop being salty for a minute and at least look for the plus in the situation, at least you get good, middle eastern food.
same with spics in usa, we should stop focusing only on the shitty part of the stick

>>8609108
But Americans are just European immigrants and their cheese is shit.

>>8609112
okay?

>>8609108
It's not even correct though, there is barely any good authentic middle eastern food, it's literally just a joke he made up because he's a /pol/ tard.

If there were an abundance of nice good authentic middle eastern food that Europe was known for like the south/west of the US is known for tex-mex/spic food, then sure fine. His statement might approach making sense.

As it is, he's just trying to be an edgy faggot.

>>8609105

I'm Canadian, we don't use miles. Maybe you would feel more comfortable if you went to tumblr. You seem to be very upset. Is it because hwndu went down again last night?

>be addicted to this crack as fat little piglet

I just bought one of the egg-shaped easter ones a week ago just for old-times sake. Even though it's been nearly a decade since I had one, the second I took one bite I basically shoved the rest of it into my mouth and felt a huge overwhelming regret that I hadn't bought like 10 more, I even had to fight myself not to go back and buy them. Then about 10-20 minutes later my stomach started hurting and I felt sick like I wanted to throw up.

Yeah.. they're great... can't wait to try them again in another 10 years.

>>8609118
Miles are a unit of measurement, it doesn't matter what unit you use locally.

Here let me translate for you since you seem to have skipped a good deal of your primary education

>your life experiences probably span the ~480 Km around where you were born

>>8609114
stop eating in the duner shack across the street and go to an actual restaurant.
there are plenty of decent arab restaurants nowadays

>>8609128

That's awfully presumptuous of you. Does it make you feel good about yourself to make inaccurate statements about people you have never met on the internet? Am I your new President Trump?

>>8609133
>there are plenty of decent arab restaurants nowadays


are there some? Sure. But as I said
>middle eastern food that Europe was known for like the south/west of the US is known for tex-mex/spic food, then sure fine.

Europe is not known for it's middle eastern food, are there examples of good middle eastern restaurants? Sure. But that's true of any major city in almost any country in the world.


Europe, the region, is NOT known for it's middle eastern cuisine. Period.

>>8609087
>>8609095

>The joke being there are SOOOO many immigrants from the middle east to europe that "authentic" food would be middle eastern in origin

You do know that a not-inconsiderable chunk of the middle east is in Europe, right?

>>8609148

If Europe isn't known for its Arab food, why are swedes always talking about gyros?

>>8609149
Yes, of all of the european countries, roughly 1-7% of the population is from the middle east.

That is hardly a majority however. MOST countries have 1-3% with only a few like france, germany, etc being up over 4%

>>8609157
The echo chamber that is /pol/ talks about whatever they think will get a reaction and further their end goals, regardless of the validity of those "facts"

>>8609161

Actually I'm talking about this board.

>>8609157
gyros is european, my amerishart friend

>>8609165
then how the fuck would you know they're swedes?


This board doesn't have flags, and 90% of the posts have no mention of country of origin, and since there are no flags you would just have to say you're from somewhere you're not.


What are you even talking about?
Swedes rarely mention gryos at all, you're just meming like a faggot again.

Really? All the European countries have roughly 1-7 % of their population from the middle east? Including the European countries that are _part of the middle east_? Azerbaijan must have a fucking incredible migrant problem, if 93% of their population aren't originally from there.

>>8609177
why are /pol/edditors so cringy?

>>8609184
Stopping point for europe is Istanbul faggot, anything east of that is middle east, not europe.

>>8609169

Because they post gyros when talking about food from Sweden.

>>8609175

We all know it's Turkish.

>>8609159
>Yes, of all of the european countries, roughly 1-7% of the population is from the middle east.

yeah, the famous estonian middle eastern minority...

>>8609185

That would mean more African and Middle-Eastern food, which isn't half bad.

Which reminds me: "his draconian food security laws forever permits him from having real döner."

>>8609245

Some of us do this thing, it's called exercise. It's what people who aren't fat but also aren't skinny little thinks do. You should try it sometime. Maybe you wouldn't look like you just came out of a concentration camp.

I tried them, they are good. They taste nothing like coffee though. They are really fucking thick.

>>8609403
Nothing except you can buy just one instead of the usual 2 pack.

>>8609730
Actually they are a little bit softer and being larger than the standard cup you get a little bit more. It's a personal preference thing really but I'd think most people would prefer having a few eggs as opposed to a few cups.

>>8609072

If you didn't eat the oreos with a big glass of milk you should try again. And if you had oreos with milk and didn't get it, you should kill yourself.

>>8608788
Don't waste your time, my dude: it's bad chocolate mixed with worse peanut butter

>>8609024

canadian reese cups are thinner and come with 3 instead of 2, I find them to be a lot better than the thicker cups, a better ratio of chocolate to peanut butter.

>>8610395

It's nothing to do with denial. Biscuits in proper English occupy basically the same semantic space as cookies do in American English. I'm not sure what we would call the mutant dumpling abominations you call biscuits.
Also is Oreos are meant to be eaten exclusively with milk (which nobody over the age of 10 should be drinking anyway) then the packaging should clearly state as much.
Face it, Oreos are dreadful.

Chick-fil-A is the most overrated place I've been to. It's not that it's bad -- in fact, the food is OK. But people rave about it to an extent entirely out of proportion to the quality of the food/service.

I don't know why. Is it that until recently Chick-fil-A restaurants were pretty sparse outside the South? Is it because of the not open on Sundays thing (or the related Bible-thumper thing)? Because it isn't the quality of the food, which I'd say is about on par with a good Wendy's.

(Speaking of, Wendy's seems to me like the fast food place where the quality depends the most on the management. Go to one with the right manager and the place will be clean, the service will be quick, and the food will be as fresh as you can realistically expect of fast food. Go to one with a bad manager, and it will be a mess with slow service and sloppy/stale food.)

>>8609024
TRIMORETA here as well. I found some American stuff, including some Hershey's a while back in a Metro store. Where did you find it?
Also yeah, American candy is a bit too sweet for my taste, at least the ones I've tried. I honestly prefer UK candy.

pie, mash, and eels.

>>8614434
I agree with every thing you said.

>>8608860
Reeses specifically aren't that great- they're way too sweet, like a lot of mass produced American candies. Peanut butter and chocolate is a godly combo though, especially if the peanut butter component is a little salted.
