Chicken nuggets with curry dip!  How very American.  ;)

But I think BBQ Marshmallows is my favourite.  I mean... I get it, but it's just not quite how we would say it.   ::)

Instinctively thought "BBQ flavoured Marshmallows" and thought "ugh gross...never seen that at American Week before..." and then instantly realised that wasn't the case LOL

That was exactly my plan. I found the gluten free rice crispies yesterday and will need snacks for work next week!

AWFUL REALLY AWFUL. That McKennedy brand that Lidl sells is as American as Fidel Castro. Horrendous quality and taste. Don't even waste money trying it.

I've never tried the marshmallows but every other McKennedy product I have tried has been awful. If marketed in America the brand would be a miserable failure for sure. Lidl has a lot of good food at reasonable prices but should give up on the fake American stuff.

McKennedy products taste nothing like anything I have ever eaten anywhere in America. Really disappointing.

The name is pretty cringeworthy too!  ;D

It seemed a rather foreign brand for "American" food. I am only gonna try the marshmallows provided I can find em, shall report back if its a complete failure (and then buy a candy thermometer to make my own).
