I logged into Hellofresh from the UK and was directed to their UK site. However I objected to the amount of detail that they demanded (date of birth, address etc) from me before I could even browse their site, so I did not proceed any further.
If Hellofresh want to do anything in the United Kingdom, then they need to use metric units - all packaged foodstuffs here are labelled in metric quantities and there are other gotcha's - nobody here knows what a "stick" of butter is - butter comes in 100 gram, 250 gram or 500 gram packs! The British Guild of food writers generally use metric units (or dual units) when they write - newspapers, books etc. (website https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gfw.co.uk%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cusma%40lists.colostate.edu%7C5e9e062bc2e34506ef1608d8e324da94%7Cafb58802ff7a4bb1ab21367ff2ecfc8b%7C0%7C0%7C637509094713586171%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=rMQs54fcaqEdT0CRls6oI5bKtNJ7dtBso6egNHCNltQ%3D&reserved=0). I trust that this is of use to you.

So far, it's been great. A little expensive but when you both work full time, it's very convenient and the food really is delish. They send you all the necessary fresh ingredients along with a recipe card. Problem is, our recipe cards are exclusively in 9th century units. Not fair to people like myself, my wife and the millions of other Americans denied use of the SI because of the country we live in. I chatted with support and asked them to please submit our recipes in real world units. We really do monitor or sodium, sugar, caloric, fat intake and such it's nearly impossible when your only option is the "add 2 & 21/32's minims of salt" (well, maybe I'm exaggerating lol). Sure, I can convert but why should I when I'm comfortable with rational units? Anyway - Here was their reply "I'm not sure what we currently offer for inside the states, but we do have locations outside of the US so I am working on finding a creative solution for you, Jim! :)" Perhaps there are some of you considering hellofresh or already use the service and can help me raise awareness and encourage the service to provide their recipe cards in real world units even to those who live in a special place, with their own special way of quantifying their special world. They can be emailed at: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Thanks! GO METRIC, AMERICA! Because the kings foot stinks.
