I have returned from Europe! I am fully back in my original timezone and recovered from jetlag and carrying what I believe to be a very reasonable haul! Some people bring home magnets, postcards, cheesy shot glasses (my partner), or tasteful local ceramics... I brought home jars of PB. One of them was AUD30 because the conversion from Swiss Francs... let's don’t talk about it. My bank account may never recover.
Across various international grocery store visits - one of my favourite travel activities and, frankly, a key pillar of cultural research - I managed to acquire a little lineup of peanut butters from Finland, Estonia, Switerland, Belgium, and Germany. (The trip has also made me more insufferable in other ways, because I have picked up French lessons again and the second thing my class learned about me (after my name) was that J'aime beacoup le beurre de cacahuète.)
Reviews are coming as soon as I come back from the combined effects of marathon recovery, building up a laundry backlog, and the emotional weight that is owning these rare acquisitions and writing about them. Please respect this important work.
