Beyond the delicious taste, Walker’s Shortbread, that’s made in Scotland, contains only 4 ingredients, wheat flour, butter, sugar and salt. Flip through the photos and compare that to all the artificial crap American companies put into their so-called “shortbread”. Lorna Doone shortbread cookies even contain a “bioengineered food ingredient”.

So sick of the fact that so much of the food we get in the U.S. is filled with chemicals and crap ingredients. I’m glad we at least have access to some tasty imported treats like Walkers with decent ingredients.

Was watching an old movie North Sea Hijack (1980) with Roger Moore, and had to grab this screenshot of the Seiko on Moore’s wrist. Cool to see a dive watch being used by a diver (who Moore plays).

Here’s part of my chocolate (and some biscuits and tablet) haul from my recent Scotland trip. I bought a bunch more stuff at WH Smiths at the airport before returning to the U.S., but this was the bulk of it. Had to stock up on my favorite British chocolate and sweet treats as I’m not sure how soon I’ll be back.

Got a few variations I’ve never had before i can’t get in the States, like the Cadbury Biscoff + More flavor (absolutely delicious!) and white chocolate maltesers (not pictured here, but also great). Also got a white chocolate Lion Bar!!! Loved it!

British chocolate will always be my favorite. I love the taste, the milk used, but it’s also very nostalgic for me… hits just right. The Cadbury produced in the U.S. by Hershey is absolutely disgusting compared to the Cadbury in the UK… they might as well call it by different names. Gold Bars are some of my favorites, but the shrinkflation on them feels pretty significant. I remember them being closer to the size of Club bars, but now they’re getting into Cadbury chocolate fingers territory.

Something I found surprisingly hard to find in mass produced packaged form, despite being in Scotland, was millionaire shortbread. You could find them in local bakeries, but it would have been a bit of a pain to bring back and keep fresh without proper packaging.

Anyway, I got as much as I could fit in my bags, and these should last me a good little while, so I’m pretty happy with my haul.
