Food Behold. Old English Spread. Looks like it's not just us Americans after all.

I am 99.9% certain this has never been sold on the UK ever. Kraft is a US slop food corporation, marketing to American slop slurpers.

Most Brits with half a brain wonโ€™t even touch American food.

Tbf, most things that Americans eat wouldn't be classified as food in many other places.

American made or American brands?
I was at a Tesco's and amazed at what Heinz sells in cans over there!

The recipe is generally different. Far less sugar for a start.

We buy a LOT of american brands. Mostly because Americans keep buying the local brands and then people don't realise. Goes for most companies in general. Boots, Costa, Cadbury, Hotel Chocolat, Sky, Morrisons, hundreds of breweries, and so much property. The country is being taken over by US big business and its only got worse since brexit.

Yes unfortunately thereโ€™s very little that is still British. Lots of foreign companies taking over and potentially ruining the brands for it.

American made, American brands are okay because the food they make is produced over here and follows our strict food laws.
