My new neighborhood near Park Ridge seems to have many immigrants from Eastern Europe, and as a result the smaller supermarkets carry interesting imported products. I picked up a bag of cookies, and wanted to look at the ingredient list. Here you go;
The ingredients in French, Great Britainish, der German, Espanish, Portuguese, Italian?, Dutch, Greek, Bulgarian?, Saudi Arabic
Now you’re thinking that’s a pain in the butt – since you want to sell in America, slap on the required nutritional label with the required colors and font/size.
The European Union has more issues than lack of a common set of budget rules – the lack of a common language makes many things much more difficult.
Hmmmm, I guess the GB language is sooo much different that, they can’t understand the label in American English ? I guess it woud be time, that I would Quit buying that Product, and prchasing, anything in that store. Just to show my intrest in Diversity.
Well, you’ll notice they used sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. They’re okay, but not great. I also bought some interesting German cookies – apparently they are sold just this time of year – they basically ginger snaps covered in a sugary icing . If you ate one as a child, you would definitely lick the flavor in your brain and remember it forever.
Didn’t find the iced ginger snaps but I just bought 6 bags of ginger snaps because someone said they weren’t going to make that brand which I dearly love, anymore. I will freeze them to keep them fresh. I will be on the lookout for the iced ones. I can’t lick the flavor in my brain… (GREAT MIND VISUAL!)
Let’s see if I can upload a picture
Yum!
