Absinthe is no longer illegal in the US and has not been since 2009. I served in my own bar for 5 years. However, its manufacturing is heavily regulated and restricted. The Abinthe one gets in the US is not identical to what is available in France. The same is true of Jagermeister, an other anise liquor that is available in the US.

[@belliesofgold]

you're right penny . . . they removed the original chemical "thujone" from most absinthe brands which is poisonous in large amounts

[@MP77USA]

Yeah haggis is not illegal - animal lungs are prohibited from being sold commercially for human consumption but a lot of international meat markets sell haggis. And caviar is not illegal - beluga caviar is banned from importation because of the unsustainable harvesting practices but you can buy American beluga caviar. This is a lotttt of misinformation. Clickbait.

Although, I’m told the real haggis far superior over the canned stuff. But, I wouldn’t know. Lol

Ackee is delicious! It has to tree ripen - the pod must open on the tree so the seeds can be seen BEFORE you pick them. Most have 3 seeds and on occasion 4. You twist and pull out the seeds, then also the little orange membrane residue. Cut out any overly soft pieces from the yellow fruit. You can then blanch the remaining yellow fruit and freeze if you aren't ready to cook it yet. Fry it up with onions, garlic, thyme, salt. pepper, sweet peppers etc. Pairs well with salted cod which it is cooked down with. Eats great alone once seasoned up.

Caspian sturgeon tastes horrible. It’s super fishy, more so than lobster and crab. It’s edible but not exactly something you’d like to eat all the time. Plus certain times of the year they can cause ciguatera poisoning. I lived in Azerbaijan for a while and tried it, as well as the caviar. Not thrilling. Not to mention the sale of a lot of beluga caviar is actually controlled by certain mafia groups, especially in Dagestan. They’ve been known to actually bomb police barracks’ and shit. So buying it supports organized crime. No thanks.

[@vicpiepenbrink2475]

Yes and no. The Kinder eggs in the US are not the iconic eggs that originate in Europe but rather a different design created for the US market as US law states it bans candy with non-food objects inside due to being a choking hazard. By current law the item is banned from being brought from any country to the US and if found to be carrying them there is a hefty fine of $2500 per egg and a potential case of being refused entry, I have confirmed this before with border control and you can see it on the U.S. Customs and Border Protection website. www.cbp.gov/newsroom/local-media-release/importation-advisory-kinder-eggs.
