How can a product produced in China be marketed under the name "Europe's Best"?
Am I ultrasensitive, or does that seem a tad dishonest?
They aren't hiding it. The words "Product of China" are pretty big on the back of this bag of frozen vegetables I'm looking at.
Last time I bought a bag of "Europe's Best" it was a product of Belgium. Which last time I checked was still in Europe, so that was okay. But now? I dunno what gives.
I confess the recent dog- and cat-food scandal has made me nervous about all consumables coming from China.

Well, so much of what we eat, wear, sit on and generally use, is made in China these days, so I'm beginning to think no one cares anymore. However, does that come under false advertising? Should you be buying fresh vegetables grown locally? (or do they come from China too?)
If Asian vegetables are Europe's best...I guess that say's a great deal about European vegetables.
But, at the same time, if Quebecois people can call shepherd's pie Pâté Chinois (translation: Chinese Pot Pie), I see no reason why Chinese vegetables cannot be called Europe's best.
Hell! Everyone thinks I'm Italian and I'm not...what that has to do with anything, I don't know.

But you look Italian, and these vegetables look European, so there ya go.
I try to grow my own vegetables, and given my family name, people might think those are Chinese too!
Excellent...now you can say you home-grow some of Europe's best vegetables.
On an unrelated note...I have just discovered that if you get something caught in your teeth and are dental floss-less, simply pull a strand of long grey hair out of your head. The coarser grey hair is strong and fine enough to act as dental floss...Don't ask how I discovered this!!!! Just try it next time you're stuck with a raspberry seed in your front teeth. Of course, it might just be easier to carry dental floss around in your purse...but that's another story!

EUWWW! Let me check the calendar. Is this National Gross-Out Day? Believe me, I'm not asking how you discovered this. I do NOT want to know.
you mean JAW fan isn't italian???
you mean ns nanuk isn't chinese???
you mean I'm not a six foot blond??
I mean MS nanuk
I'm not sure what a NS nanuk would be...
Not that I actually tried removing a seed from my teeth with my hair...however, please note, it is probably a hell of a lot more sanitary to put a strand of your own hair in your mouth than it is to try to remove that seed with your fingers...the same way your toilet seat has less germs than your kitchen counter.
Simply because something sounds gross does not make it unsanitary...just like something you would take for granted can be truly ucky and gross for you!
