  • OP doing the classic “this is a thing in my country/city/whatever and that means it must be the same for the rest of the world” with that title. I’ve never even heard about this before. It’s not a thing in any shops I’ve ever been too, both in my own country and other countries I’ve been to. In my country the only similar experience is when you go to a store and use the machine for recycling cans and plastic bottles, you get a choice to donate the money directly to “children of the world” which is part of a national organisation that works to improve the rights and access to healt care, schools and safety for kids all around the world.









  • Highly recommend pear dessert recipe my family makes on some holidays and birthdays:

    Tosca butterscotch pears:

    1 can (850g) preserved pears halves
    100g almond shavings
    50g butter
    1/2 dl sugar
    1/2 dl golden syrup
    2 tbsp flour
    2 tbsp milk
    Good quality vanilla ice cream

    Set your oven to 200°C

    Drain the pears and put them with the flatter/inner side up on an oven safe dish (DON’T get rid of the liquid from the can, it’s delicious and worth saving for whatever)

    Melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a pan and bring it to a boil

    Stir in the almond flakes, flour and milk

    Let it simmer until it thickens

    Spoon the mixture over the pears

    Put the oven dish in the oven until the mixture is golden brown on top

    Serve with the vanilla ice cream

    (Tosca is a Swedish word used for deserts with nuts, mostly almonds, and caramel/butterscotch)
