I love spicy foods. I was brought up eating curries and have been partial to a few vindaloo's in my time. Just amazing. They cause a funny feeling in the stomach though when eating too many (Vindaloo's that is).

Blixa, can you not get pot noodles in America? We get some American food over here. I did have to buy Jolly Ranchers and Lucky Charms online though. We get Pop Tarts, but not many varieties.

I might be able to turn them up at a specialty store. Like the British candy my spouse craves, they may be available in a few out of the way places (I know for a fact, though, that they are not on offer at "Tea and Sympathy" a british tea shop next to the chippy "A Salt and Battery" in the West Village that carries candy and some canned goods). That's why I'll probably resort to getting them online. I need to replenish our stock of chocolate anyway: Walnut Whip, Crunchie, Flake, Fry's Turkish Delight, Aero and my all time favorite bar, the Yorkie!!

I like Drifter best. Snickers is cool too. Walnut Whips are rare here. I tried your Hersheys, they lack chocolateyness. I'd send you some pot noodles, but I wouldn't have a clue how to go about it. Hmm... Maybe it wouldn't be that hard. I miss Scottish food. There isn't much in England. Next time Im in Scotland I am going to pick up some red cola. Should be great. Maybe I could ask my dad or brother to send me some.

Pirate.

Most over the counter chocolate in the U.S. is rubbish. Hershey's tastes like wax.

Why is that?

They make very fine chocolate here in Belgium. Every year in Bruges there is a chocolate festival where you can walk around all day and sample the local chocolatiers' goods.

The hamburgers are odd, though, as is what they call "jockey steak," which is basically a strip of meat with an egg on top.

Your in Belgium? Well of course Belgium make great chocolate. Their chocolate is famous.

Which do you guys prefer, Pepsi or Cola?

I remember Belgian chocolate. In fact, I bought it in Brugge. I also bought waffles with whip-cream when I visited Antwerp. Belgium's pretty good as far as that goes, but talking to the natives in Flemmish always cracks me up because Flemmish just sounds funny to people who are used to hearing Dutch.
