My blog is playing tricks on me, and that's not nice! First I thought my last post vanished, then it reappeared. I took a nap today... weird. Anyway! I decided not to go to the little Sci-Fi "my book is better than your book" meeting and read the Iliad instead which I really should get back to, but I took a break to walk around with Claire for a minute who is having trouble communicating with her financial institution back home and this is causing her some distress. It would cause me distress too, that's just the last thing you want to have happen when you are across an ocean. We walked down to Tesco (it's a grocery store like Sainsbury, in fact one is right next to a Sainsbury near Broad Street which seems like it would be too fierce a competition but I guess that sort of thing is allowed here) and I got a Fanta - Fanta is delicious over here where it is considered second rate by most people who like soda (or pop if you like) in the States. KitKats are also way better over here, the chocolate is superior in some way I can't explain and I have become slightly addicted to them, but I figure that's ok for now.
I need to pick an activity before they all get going without me, but it is a pain to have to actually go to them when you are trying to get your studying done and maybe - just maybe - relax a little bit afterwards. Ah well, I can always fall back on the Tolkien Society (though after I saw their list of events, I am fairly dubious... Mock trial for Sauron for environmental crimes - REALLY?! Oy!)

ReplyDeleteThis is the ingredients list in Kit Kat from the Nestle site. http://www.nestle.ca/en/products/brands/KitKat/bar.htm?subGroup=Chocolates. Maybe they use local ingredients in the UK versions. I know some UK products use Sugar instead of HFCS.
ReplyDeleteBruno, you're mean lol.
They use a LOT of local stuff here - big time on the local products. So much so that places to eat and stores advertise in their windows how many miles from Oxford their beef or cheese or other materials comes from. So it might be that, someone also said it was more cocoa than sugarcane or something like that too. Who knows, they are freaking phenomenal though- oh and they are Fair Trade. Everything over here is super labeled as far as: 1) recyclable/not 2) vegetarian/vegan safe 3) allergy warnings (nuts, etc.) 4) gluten free/not 5) fair trade and 6) local product
