To be fair, cereal back then was plain bran flakes, maybe corn. No cocoa, no sugar, not even a goddamn raisin. If that was all you could eat, I doubt your hog would be very active.

Grape-Nuts is just yeast and flour baked into a sheet and run through a coffee grinder.

The specific idea John Harvey Kellogg had was that cereal needed to be as bland as possible to avoid inflaming people's passions, and that's what he served at his sanitarium. Grape Nuts were developed by a guy who had a stay at the sanitarium and decided he liked the cereal but it could be use some flavor, Charles William Post.

John Harvey Kellogg's brother, William Kieth Kellogg, was the guy who started the Kellogg's cereal company, and the brothers had a falling out over all the extra sugar and flavor added to the cereal as well as William Kieth Kellogg's financial success.

Taco Bell would do gangbusters in Sweden and I’m floored as to why they aren’t in the Nordics. Svennetacos are not good.

Foreign fast food chains that aren't Burger King or McDonalds have a hard time establishing themselves in the Nordics. Pizza Hut for example tried in 2000 and lost millions.

That is the US. Having a "food culture" that is beyond garbage on every level all the while "well actually"-ing other countries about their own real food culture.

lmfao, you must be from some European culinary shithole like England where *literally* everything is stolen from other cultures.

Side note: BBQ is delicious and calling it "beyond garbage" will get you murdered in a not-insignificant potion of the southern US. Good luck with that.

Sweden needs a Gorbachev to bring it midgrade american pizza chains.

Although they do have Dominos, so it's probably more Pizza Hut being lame. Dominos is selling this abomination on Sweden's behalf.

One of my neighborhood spots does absolutely amazing carrot tacos but we’re talking bigger chunks that have been blackened on a hot griddle as the main filling component, not raw shavings in the greenery. Had them yesterday, so good. Anyway try ordering the vegetarian taco options at more places, you might make some cool discoveries :)

A lot of Mexican places use small, diced carrots in their rice. Never seen them in tacos, though.

Seen quite a few spicy pickled carrots served on the side of street tacos. Might just be a southwest thing though, I don’t tend to eat Mexican food when I travel.

I guess it's the rarer one, but I feel like there are a couple specific contrasting food tastes:
- No seasoning
- Black pepper is the only seasoning, but only preground and dumped on top of the final dish

Escabeche is a very common side dish with tacos - pickled jalapenos with carrot, onion, and cauliflower generally, sometimes other stuff in there.

Friend of mine put it best that Coke flavors tend to be flavor COKE, whereas Pepsi flavors tend to be FLAVOR Pepsi.
