I've avoided all food from America for more than a decade.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 7 points 6 days ago

Genuinely can't think of anything we eat that comes from there. It's too far for anything fresh and too expensive for anything cheap.

Look for soy ingredients.

I never ate American food to my knowledge. Not out of volition but I rarely see American food sold here in Ireland.

They had food and safety regulations?

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 9 points 6 days ago

Beef must contain at least 35% beef to be called beef in the states. That is the level of regulations they had, so now? Does beef need any cow?

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 7 points 6 days ago

Your beef can legally contain mostly not beef?

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 5 points 6 days ago

Mine?! Oh don't put that evil nationality on me. But yes the fools in the states seem to require that something called beef needs to be comprised of at least 35% cooked beef

[-] lowspeedchase@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 6 days ago

Kinda disingenuous as the list you linked is for prepared meals like beef dumplings. In what world would you consider that product to be 100% beef? lol

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 2 points 6 days ago

Ah yes, it is I and the rest of the world that is crazy. When we ask for "beef" dumplings we clearly only want at least 35% beef inside....

Oh and for our Beef and gravy as well:

[-] lowspeedchase@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago

Well... yeah? I mean think about what a dumpling is, how much flour and water it takes to make? I don't understand your point?

I suppose they have regulations for the safety of manufacturers from consumers.

I am consistently shocked how much higher quality the food is in France and The NL when I visit; even the sloppy mall restaurants were higher quality. Paris was off the charts. The worst quality food we had there was above average for here.

No one wants to visit that fascist state anymore.
