Museum for sweet tooths

From this summer, those with a sweet tooth can indulge themselves in New York. Sugar Factory, a famous restaurant where you can order, among other things, cocktails with candy, is opening a candy museum. You can take selfies next to the world’s largest gummy bear, watch the candy-making process and, of course, eat candy yourself at the Sugar Factory Café. For now, you still have to travel to New York to visit the candy museum, but its creator does not rule out opening more locations.

Plus warns of egg in Easter egg

Something went wrong with Plus’s chocolate Easter eggs. They contained egg. Good grief, egg in an Easter egg. Okay, for people with an egg allergy, it is unpleasant. The egg ended up in the eggs because the advocaat-filled eggs accidentally came into contact with the other Easter eggs.

Lots and lots of eggs for Norwegian Olympians

Speaking of eggs, the Norwegian Olympic team certainly has enough of them. They received ten times as many eggs as they ordered. As a result, they suddenly found themselves saddled with 15,000 eggs, half a truckload. You could make a whole lot of omelets with that. The order went wrong because Google Translate did not translate into Korean quite correctly. Oops.

Tequila shortage

A tequila shortage is looming. Blue agave, which tequila is made from, can only grow in Mexico, but supplies there are running low. As a result, tequila will become quite a bit more expensive. Bye-bye, cheap tequila shots.

Bycatch festival

Don’t have any plans for this weekend yet? We do. At Vergulden Eenhoorn in Amsterdam, you can eat bycatch for two days in a row at the Bycatch Festival. Bycatch is the fish that fishermen accidentally catch when they are actually trying to catch a fish such as sole or flounder. They often throw it back into the sea, but you can much better fry it and eat it. Oh yes, and there are oysters too. Reservations can be made via 020 2149333.
