Fussy American girls

Love the wit and candor of these girls. Although it seems our tastes are world apart (they hate mayo, marmite, and even Fruitcake) they do however deliver on the history and info of these products, and lads more of other products (some they even like)

I would like to pend a day or two with them showing them some tastes of South Africa.
