28. ‘Tis the Season For Penguins
This is a pretty peculiar sight – little blobs with penguins or ducks printed on them. But in reality, they’re a hallmark of American Halloween: cookies with ghosts! It’s an amusing insight into how the U.S. does sweets – a bit unusual, perhaps a tad too sugary for some.
The ghosts that seemed like birds are just part of the playful, over-the-top nature of American festivities. While it’s all in good fun, some might find themselves longing for the subtler sweetness of European pastries. Either way, it’s a strange peek into the quirky world of international dessert traditions.
