i think it's just hard to keep up with all the text, we get pretty fast responses when it comes to food!
Because that's what it is, and that's literally what it says on the packaging at Wegmans (and other grocery stores)...telling folks that it's imitation. Lol. I've bought it before as something to snack on and hold me over for a bit while I was out and about (I have to be munching on something every few hours...I cannot go hours without eating like other people can).
hehehh I get it, good to know fox. KissesI refuse to call it anything else but "imitation crab."

Vienetta just makes me think of birthday parties as a kid. Party rings, cheese and pineapple on a stick, twiglets. Why are none of those seen as appropriate adult food
We can declare them appropriate adult food here on the ACF.Vienetta just makes me think of birthday parties as a kid. Party rings, cheese and pineapple on a stick, twiglets. Why are none of those seen as appropriate adult food
OMG I had completely forgotten Twiglets, now I recall how great they were, and how your fingers used to get all covered in the coating.Vienetta just makes me think of birthday parties as a kid.

Who determined what appropriate adult food is? When was it decided? Why was I not asked?
They are most certainly still available in the UK but I normally only have them at a Christmas for some ridiculous reason! They do these massive Christmas Twiglets tubs that are supposed to last a week or two but in reality you could devour it in dayOMG I had completely forgotten Twiglets, now I recall how great they were, and how your fingers used to get all covered in the coating.
Are they still available in the UK? For some reason, now I'm remembering school coach trips and packed lunches, and have a sudden wish for Pickled Onion flavour Monster Munch!!!!
Side note: my local supermarket here in Aus has a small section of imported UK products, and every now and then I treat myself to an old favourite. Just feels really weird to see PG Tips tea bags, Double-Deckers, Pot Noodles, Bisto gravy, and others again after so long. I even saw a Fray Bentos steak 'n' kidney pudding not that long ago, and had to explain to my kids all about suet
It’s funny the home comforts you take for granted until you’re living abroad! I love marmite and cadburys chocolate but are rarely eat either here in the UK. Whenever I’ve lived in a foreign country though I’ve always got so excited when I’ve found them in some obscure little shop.OMG I had completely forgotten Twiglets, now I recall how great they were, and how your fingers used to get all covered in the coating.

Oh yeah. And as a kid growing up in the late 70's/early 80's, Christmas was also about pinching After Eight mints from the little paper envelopes without any adults noticing

Ah, the Christmas memories are flowing back. The big tin of Quality Street or Roses (and the way the same ones were always the last to remain, like the strawberry cremes), the Terry's Chocolate Orange, those candied fruit slices that were arranged in a round box with alternating lemon and orange segments. My father was also a big fan of walnuts, brazil nuts, hazelnuts, almonds and others; he would sit there opening them with the nutcracker for hours and passing them around, whether we were watching a family movie or playing Monopoly. Fun times!I was the only one in my household and circle of family/friends who liked Twiglets, everyone else looked at me like I was some freak, while they are all munching down on their mince pies and I am eating my Twiglets, thinking THEY are the freaks
After Eights we would receive from our grandparents when we went there for the evening, that was always amazing.
Funnily enough, I dislike dark chocolate except with mint - after eights, mint choc ice cream, etc
I have a huge weakness for my dads pancakes on my birthday, he makes them a little sweet, but not SUPER sweet, so they fit both with spicy meat in them, but then also for vanilla ice cream and strawberry jam in the last one you get... I think this must be my absolute favorite birthday meal still, and have been for about 25 years

That sounds lovely. Pancake tacos have become a thing here. Eggs and bacon or whipped cream and fruit.I have a huge weakness for my dads pancakes on my birthday, he makes them a little sweet, but not SUPER sweet, so they fit both with spicy meat in them, but then also for vanilla ice cream and strawberry jam in the last one you get...

Perhaps a regional thing? I grew up drinking true Southern iced tea -- a full cup of sugar in 1 gallon of tea. So sweet your dentist bought a new yacht kind of stuff. Started dating my husband and he would order unsweet tea at restaurants then add some Sweet n low and he's from the midwest.
Sun tea is soooo good. My grandmother made the worst tea on earth. Steeped too long on the stove, pour hot into a glass pitcher with no added water. Military tea, she called it. It would then sit on the counter, never in the fridge. When you picked up the pitcher, all of tannens collected at the bottom like an ancient bottle of cheap wine.
