Thanks to my Grandma being German we were eating Nutella when I was a kid before it was sold over here.
She used to bring it back from her frequent trips home. Plus other Germnan goodies. She used to have these huge jars of blueberries that we would have with icecream and we had pumpernickel before it was fashionable.


Still hate her guts though.

We used to get blueberry jam
and grade 1 maple syrup from Canada. The difference between the top ones and the bog standard syrup is as marked as it is with, say, olive oil. Magic.

As children we also used to get clothes, which were invariably hilarious. A pair of age 12 Canadian jeans would have a waistband a good 3-4 inches too big, even in the late 70s. Like fucking clown trousers.
