Yes I’d noticed that too summer, maybe it’s just become a bit old fashioned.
Poor old Bertie, I just hope they don’t reinvent him in an attempt to make him more relevant to modern times, the mind boggles

I apologise if my rant against American memes, such as the food list, offended you. I was expressing my frustration at the number of such memes that use US words and also US thinking (e.g. the only offal in the list was liver). Facebook is dominated by them. Please do not be put off posting just because I ranted at the list (not at you). Maybe there are Brazilian delicacies that Europeans would hesitate to eat?
And, of course, I liked your opening post because I also replied with my own preferences !

Don’t worry. I get that a lot too. So provincial. Some people seem to think that the world begins and ends at their country’s border.
As to the OP, I’ve tried everything on the list except snails. I’d try that if it was available. I’m a vegan but I’d happily eat everything on the list* except black licorice. Red licorice is yum but not black licorice.
*I’d probably be sick later but taste wise, I’d be ok.
Me too

I remember the days when we’d buy these, the trick was to pinch the centre between finger and thumb and chomp away at the end of the tape, what delicious unraveling!
You could get away with it when you were a kid, over eighteen and it’d just look crass and slobby

Yes the over 50s that admit to liking liquorice are just big children at heart.

I remember buying liquorice root from the Tuck Shop at school and even though I kept buying it, it was very disappointing. Let’s face it Liquorice is mainly sugar with liquorice flavour.
Just one - liquorice. It’s surprising how unpopular it is. I did eat allsorts as a child but I liked the coconut ones best. It’s just not very appealing otherwise.
I’ve eaten l’escargot in France, Paris probably or maybe the South of France, when interrailing in my late teens/early twenties. They were delicious. lots of garlic and butter. It’s not something I would go out of my way to order now but I wouldn’t rule them out.
