This is for you Trivia buffs!
Here's the trivia: the ingredients include "partially hydrogenated and no hydrogenated cabbage tree oil." DreamWalker already knows this, I'm sure, but it's a native of New Zealand and looks like this.
Just what you always wanted to know!

When Emma was in Elementary All-State Choir for Florida, they sang a song from Australia called "My Cabbage Tree Hat".
ReplyDeleteI didn't think it was a real tree!! :)
Does that mean it doesn't contain hydrogenated cabbage tree oil? LOL
ReplyDeleteMrs. M/Shari: HA! So you got your education as well :)
ReplyDeleteT1: Welcome back! I've missed you!
I asked the same thing: does it or doesn't it? Or maybe it's both?
Were there 3, or 4 in the bag?
ReplyDeleteThey sound yummy. I love cheetos, a real downfall of mine.
lol - that is so funny...
ReplyDeleteI can see you like water with gaz...
hehe - so do I...
(although it's not too popular here)
You had Perrier!!!! In a CAN! When we came back from Vancouver, we only had flat water... in plastic glasses. It was 2 or 3 days after the London events and everybody was really nervous about all the liquids in original bottles! :) I was not so nervous, because I had taken 2 Dilaudid (heheheheh) for the pain... :)))))))))))))))))
ReplyDeleteRuth: Oh my--there were 10 times that many. The bag was just the right size: enough to make you feel satisfied and not too much to feel sinful :)
ReplyDeleteET: Oh yes, I do like water with gas. Donica does not, so I ask for it whenever I can and we're not sharing.
MP: The brand doesn't have to be Perrier, as far as I'm concerned, but when I ask for water with gas, that's usually what I get (unless I'm on Delta and get club soda!).
Water with gas is a funny expression I like it!
ReplyDeleteHmm, seems I must get a flight on Air France!
The arts site from new Zealand is very cool. Wonder if we have any American sites like that?
Your blog is always so enlightening Ginnie, thank you!
That cabbage tree looks rather beautiful. And I don't think I ever heard the expression "water with gas" before. One can always learn something new.
ReplyDeleteJozee: I'm so used to "water with gas" now that I forget how unusual it first sounded! BTW, I was thinking of you big-time yesterday and will have a post soon to explain why :)
ReplyDeleteTim: Oh yes--I feel like I'm learning something new every day!
Seasoned grazer that I am I just don't think I could brazenly and without great forethought eat something called a "crusty". Or a bag of them. From France.
ReplyDeleteWhere does one get "crusties" anyway? Are they grown? Harvested? Must stop thinking about this. Am losing appetite for breakfast.
Lisa, HA! I have a feeling something is lost in the translation. I assure you, they are definitely good. Do you like fried cheese puffs????
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't like fried cheese puffs??? We only got pretzels on our flight back - hmmphh.
ReplyDeleteI have never, ever heard of cabbage tree oil before, though. Maybe I should inspect the ingredient list on my snacks more closely next time. I like the "traces of crustaceans" on the bottom of your list too - makes you wonder just where those snacks have been before they get to you! :-)
I know, Christina! I think it's probably better to not check. Anything that tastes that great can't possible be good for you, right?!
ReplyDeleteHmm, I'll be back to see what's going on!
ReplyDeleteIt'll have your name all over it, Jozee--you won't miss it! Maybe on Friday.
ReplyDeleteI love when languages are translated and it becomes a bit messy. But then again, you read my post already. BTW, they probably translated "crusties" from the French word "croustilles" (potato chips)
ReplyDeleteHaha, since you're doing the writing I won't be nervous but I'm wondering what you are thinking! ;-)
ReplyDeleteCS: AHA! Now that makes sense--your French translation. And yes, your post was absolutely hysterical!
ReplyDeleteJozee: Actually, it's more about what you'll SEE :) I like keeping you in suspenders!
;-)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like an interesting snack, but I have to admit that while I am familiar with Cabbage Trees, I have never heard of the oil...and never had it as far as I know :)
ReplyDeleteDW: Hmmm. I'm guessing I'll start looking at ingredients all the time now (here in Europe) to see if I find it again.
