They all look so delicious [gonk]

TaiyoTsuki 06-08-2019 07:41 AM

They aarrreee.....

Well, I can't speak for the tree nuts part. Allergy is a very good reason for not trying X'D

Antagonist 06-08-2019 04:41 PM

I think I'm okay with all foods, no known allergies to any of them...I'd like to try them and see what they're like. o Ao

TaiyoTsuki 06-09-2019 05:23 AM

They've got a list somewhere of which countries they ship to, hang on...

And count your lucky stars that you don't have a food allergy. They're rage-inducing.

Antagonist 06-09-2019 07:40 AM

I can imagine. My mom wanted me to go gluten-free for a while and it was driving me nuts because I kept accidentally eating stuff that has it in them. >__>;

TaiyoTsuki 06-09-2019 08:25 AM

As far as I know, gluten-free has no real benefit unless you have a gluten intolerance, sensitivity, or allergy. Unfortunately, all the kinda hipstery and food-trendy people jumping on the bandwagon who don't have to worry about their digestive system going flooey if they eat something with gluten in it, are making all the gluten-free options through-the-nose expensive for everyone else....

It's kinda like how it seems every other thing on the shelves now has tree nuts in it for no concievable reason. And I'm not talking stuff like brownies or cookies or spreads, no; I'm talking about stuff like meatballs, fruit cups, Pop-tarts, frozen veggies, snack chips...the stuff that nuts have no business being in in the first damn place!

Antagonist 06-09-2019 12:51 PM

lol Wtf. xD;; Yeah I heard that a few foods that were originally inexpensive had their prices skyrocket because the food-trendy people started buying them in droves because they're the next best thing or something and it sucked for the people who were originally buying and eating them for their inexpensive prices. >_>

TaiyoTsuki 06-10-2019 08:10 AM

This is why food trends annoy me =_=. I remember when anything hazelnut spread was the latest "new thing", it was in freaking everything chocolate. And here I am, allergic to hazelnuts, suddenly unable to eat most of the chocolate stuff in the sweets section becaue everyone got obsessed with hazelnuts and hazelnut spread..... [stare]

Antagonist 06-10-2019 01:51 PM

Oh man that sucks! D: I like hazelnut for its taste, I hadn't noticed it started to get everywhere, just that there were suddenly hazelnut milk tea being sold at drink shops...

TaiyoTsuki 06-11-2019 08:03 AM

Thankfully, it seems to have petered out...thank god.
Unfortunately, there's still avocado everywhere. I hate the stuff.

Antagonist 06-12-2019 01:40 PM

Haha I rather like avocado. xD Avocado milk is really nice, but too expensive for me to want to buy them.

TaiyoTsuki 06-13-2019 07:23 AM

Ehhh...you can have my share X'D. I hate avocado with a passion; I think it's disgusting.

Antagonist 06-13-2019 08:17 AM

Well if you like watermelons or guava then all my share goes to you in exchange. xD

Often times the reason why nuts are included in the ingredient list is because the foods are processed where nuts are used in other foods and there is the chance of cross-contamination.
My granddaughter was in a kindergarten class where she needed to bring 2 snacks every day, but 2 of the kids in the class had nut allergies so nobody could bring anything that included nuts. It became quite challenging to think of snacks that she would eat that didn't include nuts.
Rice Krispies treats don't include nuts, but Rice Krispies treats with M&M's include a warning that they are made where nuts are processed.
Even dried fruit carry the same warning about being made where nuts are processed.

@Anta: WATERMELON! GIVE ME ALL OF YOUR WATERMELOOOONNN!

@Inzane: Which is why I pay attention to the "may contain" and "processed in a facility with" parts of the label. But, at least with me, if they're not part of the direct ingredients list I'm probably okay. But I know why they're there.

Something I try to do when I'm bringing food that I'll be sharing with a group, I'll try and ask or pass around a list for people to put down food allergies, and work around that. Because I've got a food allergy and I know how friggin' rage-inducing they are.

Antagonist 06-14-2019 01:44 PM

Oh goody you like watermelon, I like avocados, WE'RE THE PERFECT MATCH [rofl]

TaiyoTsuki 06-16-2019 07:05 AM

You can have all of my share of avocado. Same with my friends' shares; they hate it too.

Antagonist 06-21-2019 02:10 PM

Awesome, in return you get all my watermelon. xD

I miss drinking avocado milk. T_T

TaiyoTsuki 06-24-2019 08:10 AM

I'd send you some, but...never seen it here. Thank GOD

hummy 06-24-2019 08:34 AM

Antagonist 06-24-2019 03:30 PM

Avocado milk is delicious. [drool]

TaiyoTsuki 06-28-2019 07:53 AM

Antagonist 06-30-2019 01:28 PM

Meanwhile, I'm chowing on some delicious mango. [drool]
