    I’m only buying European products, and even got some Canadian stuff. No US products at all. Ditched all meta, amazon, google, disney. Hope the US economy is going to take more hard hits, so people realise the Orange Toddler needs to go

      I’m curious what Canadian stuff made its way to you. I think one thing that should be a more well known thing is Honey Dill Sauce. Yum!

        As much as I love people buying stuff from MB, honey dill is obscenely simple to make

        Honey Dill Mayo

        You can do equal parts honey and mayo or adjust them to your preference, it’s an extremely forgiving recipe. I do usually around half the amount of honey to mayo.

          I moved to Alberta and couldn’t find the sauce easily and found it is so easy to make. But having some to buy for the first time you taste it isn’t a bad thing.

            Very true, I do encourage those who haven’t tried it to buy it, i don’t mind that brand but I make mine with more mayo for sure!

        Not OP, but one thing that is kind-of a luxury here is maple syrup, which I buy infrequently as a treat - but so far, I had always bought the cheapest (US) variant I found here in Europe. Seeing that I buy it so infrequently anyway, I will go for a more premium Canadian one for sure next time I buy some.

          • That seems to be regional.

            Perhaps there’s some interprovincial barriers that we’re not aware of.

            Growing up on the west coast, real maple syrup was a luxury.

            Where we are now in Eastern Ontario, we buy it by the litre or even by the case. Our teens pour it freely all over their plates.

            We use the medium or amber at the table, and the darkest we can get for baking.

          Hrm, I hadn’t hear of Arc’teryx before. There’s a shop at the mall close to me. I’ll have to check it out!

            They are an outdoor brand, like Fjallraven from Sweden (my fav) or Patagonia. They are quite expensive btw. But if i can support some Canadians, why not!

      Please keep it up! The US economy needs to feel significant pain if we’re to wake up from this ketamine coma or whatever the fuck has happened.
