Hit and miss for Ribena here in Canada I never even knew about it until last year. The existence of it I mean not the availability here. Here in Canada we tend to know more about UK stuff than people in the US. We get imports the US doesn&#

I'm in the same boat. Just a shy kid who never got over it. My grandfather died when I was three and I think it hit Dad hard. I was determined to find a woman and have children even if it meant doing so if not married. My Catholic pare

But then it gets into the ridiculous where white sugar is used. It's white by filtering it with bone char. At that point it's a religion more than a diet.

I just commented above similar story. But it's not better safe than sorry. As a friend of mine said it's become a joke everything is "gluten free" but it's not known if it actually is.

At a small town in my Canadian province there is a seasonal ice cream stand/dairy bar. My Mom and Aunt go there since it's the town in which they grew up. My Mom asked the person at the counter why does their soft ice cream taste
