Re: Assault on my taste buds

They ceetainly look and sound vile. I don't like oreos, having tried them once.

It is true that you get used to your own country's food and treats. Yet when I had a friend in Florida when visiting here quite some years ago, she was mad for Cadburys chcolate. I bet now, with the US owned company, it tastes like their own.

Forget the Tripe, I'm not even going there...but my dad loved Blood Sausage as that's what Black Pudding is called here... I tried it too when I was a kid and found it enjoyable...
