The American diet is 40% bread crumbs apparently.

The exfoliating properties of regular breadcrumbs far surpasses that of panko, for sure.

I mean, nobody wants to admit they ate nine cans of pie filling, but I did, and I’m
ashamed of myself. The first can doesn’t count, then you get to the second and the third.
Fourth and fifth I think I burned with the blowtorch. Then I just kept eating.

It’s not even hot salsa, its mild. And even worse is the mild peach mango salsa. Woof.

Mild peach and mango actually sounds good as a marinade. Very different from what I'm

It’s Carefour, which is like the Walmart of France and many other countries in Southeast Asia

and the Middle East…so they probably are not the best place to go for such things.

The ones I go to have legitimate ”ethnic“ food sections. Both an “Asian“ and “authentic Asian”

The only thing that looks familiar is the Herr's brand, but never seen spinach dip, but I guess
I've never looked for it either. They need to get some Cheeto's up on that shelf.
