Although, do NOT try the bacon (jelly) beans. There is no erasing that particular horror from your palate.JL Craverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17672273251636416478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-68661462095215591682012-05-27T19:38:13.735-04:002012-05-27T19:38:13.735-04:00Snickers are pretty good, but Baby Ruth was my can...Snickers are pretty good, but Baby Ruth was my candy bar nirvana, back before my tastes switched to beer and such as.<br />~ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®©https://www.blogger.com/profile/06252371815131259831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-63940111892555493192012-05-27T15:35:07.091-04:002012-05-27T15:35:07.091-04:00food is a strange thing...when i go home to German...food is a strange thing...when i go home to Germany i pick all the things i miss here in Canada.CorvusCorax12https://www.blogger.com/profile/02705986279180729268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-36138796693519413492012-05-27T12:10:35.092-04:002012-05-27T12:10:35.092-04:00I am most definitely not a picky eater, and I don&...I am most definitely not a picky eater, and I don't have all the food restrictions you do (I'm assuming you try to stay kosher), but I found China a bit of a challenge foodwise. I was served camel hoof soup (I'm sure that's not kosher! but you're not missing anything), fermented goose eggs, and duck tongues. And lots of stuff I couldn't identify.<br />I took to eating vegetarian -- because noodles and unidentifiable greens were a lot easier for me to deal with.<br />Then there was the day they took us to McDonald's. Ah, after three weeks in China, a Big Mac looked like God's gift to us! And it tasted exactly like Big Macs do elsewhere in the world.Lisa Shaferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08141316010311729143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-79575028233968534032012-05-27T11:40:37.937-04:002012-05-27T11:40:37.937-04:00Boy, there is definitely a lot of food for thought...Boy, there is definitely a lot of food for thought in this post Carmi.photowannabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11760961275666768173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1867210189936223762012-05-27T11:39:27.287-04:002012-05-27T11:39:27.287-04:00Great shot!

But is it really that it tastes better away from home or does it actually taste differently. <br /><br />Brand name items are sometimes created differently in a foreign market.<br /><br />For instance, when it comes to chocolate bars, a Canadian O-Henry and an American O-Henry are different. <br /><br />So is it not possible that the Snickers you had in Asia had a slightly different composition than what you're used to back home?<br /><br />PAHPeter Anthony Holderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07944720458489961053noreply@blogger.com
