      Hi Kudapooda, Happy Sunday! I'm sure we'll be seeing more Christmas-related varieties of crisps/chips soon. We did see a Thanksgiving dressing variety of chips in our local Trader Joe's, also a couple days ago we came across a Lay's brand "all-dressed" that sounded interesting:

      If the Sun Bites are like our Sun Chips, we do have those from time to time, love them - something we can find in our work snack bar :) Hope you're having a great weekend. :)

      Hi Angela! We have a Birdseye brand here but mainly frozen vegatables, I don't believe we've ever seen Birdseye frozen fish products (It's usually Gortons or Van de Camps). Hope you're having a great weekend :)

    Nice one, Tina. 'And as nuts go, I think pistachios are meant to be good for you!' I love your reasoning!!
    At the risk of repeating myself, those special edition Co-op and Tesco finest crisps are always delicious.
    You are pronouncing 'co-op' correctly, Tina. The organisation is actually a long-time co-operative where members share dividends. Traditionally they've also dealt with funeral services (used to be called undertakers!) and have bank and insurance services.
    The food shops are not the cheapest, but the quality is usually good and you know/hope the goods and practices are ethically sourced and undertaken!!
    Enjoy the rest of those opened snacks. Love M&S foods.
    Have a great weekend. 😊

      Hi Agranda, there is a natural foods co-op here, but it's not close to us. It's also not known to be cheap, but a place to go if you're looking for foods without preservative, artificial colors, etc.! Wow, they did funeral services too? Sounds like they do a bit of everything! Have a great weekend.

    Captain mitch was shown here in the uk I was about 8-9 years old (born 1986) The American tv shows for kids at that time where mostly from the 70s to late 80s maybe early 90s for Ren and Stimpy

      @FinnLovesFood  21 день назад +1

      Hi James! Wow, had no idea! We just assumed Captain MItch was somewhat of a local thing here, he was such a childhood fixture growing-up after school and Saturday mornings. Just looked him up and noticed he lived to be 92:

    It is verrry cold where i live in england. Heating on and blankets over duvets. Vast amounts of hot drinks on the go lol.
    I like chocolate brazils: white, dark or milk. We also get chocolate peanuts and raisins.
    Another good haul you got today. Thankyou to those who took their time giving you good options to try.

Looking forward to colder weather here (and hot drinks to go with it : ) Hope you have a Happy Friday and a great weekend :)

      Hi Temeraire, Happy Friday! Thank you both, we appreciate the generous packages, the thoughtfulness, time and care taken in allowing us the opportunity to try all these wonderful items.
      Thank you, we had no idea of the back history of the co-ops there, sounds very interesting. We have a Whole Foods co-op local to us but technically we're not member (at least yet), they tend to have a wide variety of products.
      Thank you again, love the chocolate-covered pistachios and looking forward to trying the gummies and the eclaires, hope you have a great weekend :)

    Years ago the co-op gave you dividends aka Divi for every member and people would cash it in around Christmas, they still have a membership but I don't know what you get from it, some nice crisps and sweets and I have not tried chocolate pistachios but they sound nice, I thought Richard had finished his boxes, enjoy and have a nice weekend

    • @FinnLovesFood
      @FinnLovesFood  21 день назад +2

      Hi Michael, Happy Friday! The dividends sound like a nice, we have our Whole Food Co-Op here but I don't know of any of the perks like that, if anything they tend to be known for having higher prices but a decent selection of products. If you come across the chocolate pistashios, please let us know what you think. Hope you're feeling well and have a great weekend :)

    The Coop as an organisation has been explained but they are into banking as well. They don't produce anything but will get well-known products labelled with the Coop brand and at a lower price.

      Hi Ron, Hope you're having a great weekend! Thank you for the information. The only co-op that we know of local to us is actually a Whole Foods store, which tends to be more pricey (possibly because we're not memebers, yet) but they do have a large variety of items. Happy Sunday!

      @@Temeraire101 now you have our curiosity. What are the flavors of the black and red gummies? It really is a shame. We haven't encountered this issue before. Now I wonder if it happened in customs or did someone at the post office get into it? We don't recall it looking like it had been tampered with or it certainly wasn't obvious.

    Why have I never heard an American pronounce turmeric correctly? They all say tumeric, completely ignoring the first R

    • @FinnLovesFood
      @FinnLovesFood  20 дней назад

      It's funny because if you asked me to spell it without looking at the bottle, I would have dropped that first r! It reminds me of sherbet. It was always pronounced as sherbert in my family, and someone told me it was sherbet. Then I wondered why it wasn't pronounced sher-bay like we pronounce sorbet. Though not sure how sorbet is pronounced in the UK!
