For how expensive that is it better be fucking great.

I don’t mind shelling out for nicer ingredients, especially with sugars like honey or getting real maple syrup.

$36.45/kg -> like $16.50 a pound, but let’s assume it’s Australian dollars (bit cheaper than Canadian) and say it’s US$11/pound. Still an awful lot to pay for peanuts, which you can buy in bulk for less than $1/pound even if they’re very good ones.

I could be misinformed on this, but I’ve heard some countries outside the US have huge upcharges on things like peanut butter for no other reason than marketing it as a luxury ingredient. But, there could be more to it that I’m not aware of.

S’true. Not a lot of people in Denmark like it so it gets “rarity pricing” like it’s some kind of exotic delicacy! Don’t you just love it when things cost more for being unpopular?

I suppose if it’s a rarity in those places I could see it going for a little more, but PB being considered a luxury ingredient does give me a bit of a chuckle.

Are spreadable Kerrygold and Swiss Miss pudding cups widely available outside the US?

Swiss Miss pudding cups

*googles*

“Non-fat milk”? You’ve got to be kidding me. Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate is legal over here, specifically in deserts, but raises eyebrows pudding is supposed to be milk, cream, starch, and whatever flavour, if anything you rather see carageen. Yellow 5 and 6 are technically legal but you won’t see them in products, that would be carotene and/or curcumin. Artificial flavours is a definite red flag even though natural ones also often aren’t what you think they are (yes bacteria can taste like strawberries).

Why is the coconut oil hydrogenated? Why do you remove milk fat but then specifically add fat? And why is the starch modified?

spreadable Kerrygold

OLIVE OIL IN BUTTER?

…no. That would cause several national as well as civil wars in Europe and is thus banned under hate speech statutes.

Is that $30/lb? That’s a lot more expensive than the fresh ground PB in Fresh Market and such.
