That's top level Asian store packaging if I've ever seen it. They will stick anything on a Styrofoam dish with cellophane over it.

For how expensive that is it better be fucking great.
I don’t mind shelling out for nicer ingredients, especially with sugars like honey or getting real maple syrup.
I could be misinformed on this, but I've heard some countries outside the US have huge upcharges on things like peanut butter for no other reason than marketing it as a luxury ingredient. But, there could be more to it that I'm not aware of.
S'true. Not a lot of people in Denmark like it so it gets "rarity pricing" like it's some kind of exotic delicacy! Don't you just love it when things cost more for being unpopular?
I'm Dutch, never been to Denmark, but whenever I encounter something Denmark on TV or in the media I can't help but think how much we are alike (even the language makes me turn my head to later realize that it is indeed not Dutch). Well, not anymore. Helaas, pindakaas.
So you're saying that peanut butter is more popular in the Netherlands? I can see how that would alter your entire (correct, as far as I can tell) perspective 🤔😂
Unless someone had a peanut allergy, I think I've never been in a household that didn't have peanut butter in the cupboard. Chocolate sprinkles or cheese are two popular toppings.
Are spreadable Kerrygold and Swiss Miss pudding cups widely available outside the US?
Swiss Miss pudding cups
*googles*
"Non-fat milk"? You've got to be kidding me. Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate is legal over here, specifically in deserts, but raises eyebrows pudding is supposed to be milk, cream, starch, and whatever flavour, if anything you rather see carageen. Yellow 5 and 6 are technically legal but you won't see them in products, that would be carotene and/or curcumin. Artificial flavours is a definite red flag even though natural ones also often aren't what you think they are (yes bacteria can taste like strawberries).
Why is the coconut oil hydrogenated? Why do you remove milk fat but then specifically add fat? And why is the starch modified?
spreadable Kerrygold
OLIVE OIL IN BUTTER?
...no. That would cause several national as well as civil wars in Europe and is thus banned under hate speech statutes.

That's actually pretty common in Germany. It's super practical, you can keep the butter where it doesn't get rancid but you don't have to cut butter slices to put it on your bread slice. I currently use butter-flavored margarine for ethical reasons.
Yeah, Germany already isn't popular in Europe and we're certainly not known for our exquisite cuisine.
Is that $30/lb? That's a lot more expensive than the fresh ground PB in Fresh Market and such.
$36.45/kg -> like $16.50 a pound, but let's assume it's Australian dollars (bit cheaper than Canadian) and say it's US$11/pound. Still an awful lot to pay for peanuts, which you can buy in bulk for less than $1/pound even if they're very good ones.
Yeah, it butter be great!
This must be the progress everybody is talking about
This looks Canadian
Violently Canadian
It goes great with a nice bag of milk
$36 a kilo? Is this Australia? Please be Australia.
Mmmkay, but if I were to buy one of those nut butter steaks, it sure as shit better come with one of those little meat diapers in the bottom of the package.
Don’t you cheat me.
What are those things for anyway?
I think they absorb meat liquids so they don’t pool at the bottom of the tray. Probably just to make it look more appealing.
To be noted: My keyboard attempted to autocorrect “pool” to “poop.” I am not displeased.
Those meat diapers can go get fucked. Every time I buy ground meat that uses them, the actual meat is usually a significant amount of ounces lower than the advertised weight.
Go tube or go home. In my experience they're typically a bit heavier than the advertised weight.
You know, I never even thought about how much liquid weight those little diapers accounted for.
I have heard of “tube steak”. I’ll check into that.
Nope nope nope… Fuuuuuuck that noise. Tube steak appears to not be a viable option.
For me.
...I thought "tube steak" just meant "penis"?
One way to find out.
Sigh... Here we go again... unzips
