Nope, if they have sweet popcorn here I have never seen it. They did however have chocolate covered popcorn, but I have not seen them for a long while so I guess they did not tickled the taste buds of the Swedes.
LOL yeah a care package like that would send me in to a diabetic shock. I do usually do not eat much carbohydrates so I get a sugar high from white bread.
Sandra the peanut butter drug lord. LOL Yeah, I remember that night.
Yeah I hate it, The taste of peanut butter isn’t that bad, but they way it like glues itself to the roof of the mouth, that’s just disturbingly disgusting. And then the sweetness of it how much sugar do they put in it? And the taste never goes away it just stays in your mouth.
The only way I can eat it is if its non sugar (just peanut and salt) and you mash it down with bananas and put it on rye bread. And that is the closest to I have come to a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

I have never had a sweet peanut butter, hmmmm are they tinkering with the recipe there? lol. I hate the way it sticks to your mouth also which is why they have it with sweet things as for some reason this prevents it from sticking. I have had it with jam but that is kinda off to me as it tastes like you are eating sweets and not breakfast. I love it with slicked tomatos. I know everyone is gona be like omg you freak but trust me it is amazing. I just had some I then put some black pepper and a lil salt and away you go. On bread or bagles obviously, not a jar of peanut butter with cherry tomatoes thrown in lol. Chocolate covered popcorn? oh my....I think that could even top butter. No no! I take that back, nothing can top that filth. Now I want some toffee popcorn. Oh and LMAO@getting a sugar high from white bread

Yeah, from what i remember it tasted very sweet, i do not know if are they are tinkering with the recipe here or if my mum did do something with it (she was baking cookies at that time). From what i remember it came from a jar of skippy peanut butter and it tasted sweet and it did feel like some kind of icky glue.
What is the differences between jam and preserve? Here we just call it sylt. And what is jelly? Here we have something called gele, but it's not really that sweet and you eat it with meat.
Maybe i should try to eat a pb & j.

Try it with tomato too! lol
Here we just call it jam and if it is an expensive type of jam then it is conserve. We have redcurrant jelly/sauce that you have with meats and such. And then there is cranberry sauce of course. Oh and mint sauce for lamb. And marmalade is jam but made with citrus fruits, usually orange. If I am understanding this correctly, America has them all. They have a cheap to make type of jam that is made using only juice(which is from concentrate I think) and they call that jelly. They then have jam which is the same as our jam which is made from both fruit and juice. Then I think they have concerves aswell. And any type of semi sweet jam/sauce that goes with meats is called jelly e.g mint jelly.
Here in the UK jelly is what America calls Gello.
American fellows did I get that right?

Okay, now i have tried Root Beer and it was disgusting. Sorry that I'm dissing American food, but seriously i did not like it at all. On the other hand i guess some of you would hate some Swedish food to.

On the other hand i guess some of you would hate some Swedish food to. I used to think the same thing till I had real organic Rootbeer brewed from actual sassafras and not that fake chemical version. Oh I was in heaven. I had some for the first time at a music festival a few years ago and oh my goddess! lol

I know that, but I had never had the real stuff. That store bought stuff is fake.
Recently I had real marshmallows made from the marshmallow plant as well. The stuff you buy in the store is made from gelatin and crap. lol
I was over at a friend's (fellow herbalist) and she was making homemade marshmallows. Yummy! Better than the gelatin crap.

Sassafras… sassafras, funny name. Lol yeah, the root bear I had was one of those fake once. When I got the can I was like “lets see what’s in it …hmfh ROOT bear my ass” it was just allot of fake aroma things in it. I didn’t know that there were real and fake root bear.
Now I have bought a jar of skippy creamy peanut butter and I’m going to try a pb & j tomorrow, but the only jam I have is homemade raspberry so that will have to do. I usually am not so picky when it comes to food, but that first memory of peanut butter scares me.

It went quite well, it took a few days before i had the courage to try it. It was not as disgusting as i imagined, I did put on allot of the raspberry jam though. And i did come to the conclusion that the thing i tasted when i was a child must have been some kind of peanut butter sugar mix.
