This is so funny, Barb. What do Scots think South African’s eat?

I’m pretty sure if Tesco puts in an international foods section for South Africa, it will consist solely of rooibos tea.

I’ve often wondered what people from other countries think of the selections that are offered in the international foods sections under their country’s name? As an American (who hasn’t just smoked a very significant number of joints), I would find it difficult to base my national cuisine on Cocoa Puffs, marshmallow fluff, and pop tarts.

In a stoner moment I can see dipping a Dorito into some mushy peas. :)

No, no, no… At best mushy peas could qualify as a sculptural medium, but they must never be consumed, especially after being imprisoned in a can. It’s probably a good thing that vegetables can’t bring class action lawsuits, because what’s happened to innocent peas is clearly a crime
