9/15/2015 1:40:28 PM

Make sure you cancel your subscription more than 5 days before your "official" next billing date, or they'll charge you. That's where they're getting people.

two star reviews, nice try towelie

Got my box just about half an hour ago!

It is the Paris Box. Contains:

- Palais des Thes, teabags (3)
- La Mere Poulard, shortbread biscuits (2 oz)
- Charles Antona, fig jam (4 oz)
- Henaff, pork liver confit (3 oz)
- La Maison d'Armorine, chewy caramels (1 oz)
- Domains des Vignes, whole mustard (7 oz)
- Christian Potier, culinary sauce (2 single-serve pouches)

All brands are fancy/famous/expensive. My educated guess is that the items would cost $20 at retail prices.

I don't eat pork, don't like/use mustard, and don't care about the sauces. Glad I paid only $5!

P.S. if you want to see the items, follow the link below:

I also added up the prices (proportional for the smaller items) and it comes to $28. I underestimated on the liver pate and the caramels. That tiny jar of the liver pate is $8.50! I did not think it would be that expensive as it is not duck or goose liver.

9/23/2015 9:02:18 PM

Have you canceled already? Painless?

9/23/2015 10:38:25 PM

Got mine too! I plan to cancel in the morning and will report back.

9/24/2015 3:18:18 AM

Just cancelled. They try three different times to try to get you to stay subscribed. Twice with a 50% off coupon and once with a coupon code. I documented everything since I read elsewhere that they "don't process" your cancellation and keep charging you. We shall see.

9/24/2015 9:44:19 AM

I just cancelled too, and yeah I took screenshots of every screen during the process!

Thanks Obama Fhqwhgads for giving me a bad dream last night . I read your post just before sleeping. I had a dream in which I received a message from the company saying that because I had received the box so early, they were moving the date of cancellation ahead and had already charged my card because the date had been moved to today .

9/24/2015 10:37:54 AM

Received my box yesterday and cancelled. It's painless, however it doesn't seem to send you a confirmation e-mail. All it says is "the changes to your account have been made" after you cancel. I tried logging back in to see if anything changed and it wasn't clear it was cancelled so i cancelled again. Hopefully its taken care of.

9/24/2015 10:49:12 AM

free ain't free if it's $5

9/24/2015 11:54:10 AM

Got mine today, the package was in one piece but the contents were crushed and there was a broken container of Dijon. France sucks

9/24/2015 1:34:16 PM

But was your little packet of mystery sauce intact?!?!

So everybody that ordered a box got France?

9/24/2015 3:59:08 PM

so they just give you like crackers and condiments and stuff? meh

9/24/2015 4:02:03 PM

I just threw it away. France liver crumbs, confetti, and dijon mustard spilt everywhere. Even the cookies were fucked.

9/25/2015 12:41:41 AM

That's so sad. But yeah, that confetti was annoying.

9/25/2015 9:05:15 AM

any idea what the sauce is? can't decide which food to prepare for dipping. i suppose chicken is a safe bet.

9/25/2015 11:07:31 AM

OEP thinks it's bearnaise. That seems like a safe assumption. You try it and let us know.

Well they have a fixed box each month (or maybe every 2 months), so if you wait till next month, you might get a different one. Which one? No one knows.

What did you expect? Cooked (or fresh?) meat? Sturgeon caviar? Perhaps in the Russia box there will be 1.6 grams of caviar.

First you said the mustard jar was broken. Liver confit was broken too? OK, but how did that mess up the other stuff considering everything was sealed in plastic (biscuits, sauce), foil (tea), or glass (jam)? Only thing I can see getting messed up would be the caramels. Those biscuits are the best shortbread biscuits I have ever had, and so is the jam. You should have called them and asked them to send another one. You can still do it... did you take pics? Either way, that's a shame.

If you look at http://www.trytheworld.com/collections/france/products/christian-potiers-4-sauces-variety-pack and compare with the one you got, you can easily see it is bearnaise. At least that's the one I got. If yours is darker in color, it could be any of the other 3; again, compare the shade with the pic. Here is bearnaise: http://www.trytheworld.com/collections/france/products/bearnaise-sauce

Ingredients: Ingredients: water, unsalted butter, cream, white wine and red wine vinegars, shallot, egg yolk, tarragon, salt, modified corn starch, xanthan gum, lactic acid, rosemary extract, tarragon essential oil, ground white pepper

French haute cuisine has 5 mother sauces, one of which is Hollandaise. Bearnaise is the child of Hollandaise.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Béarnaise_sauce
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_sauce

Wikipedia says it is a traditional sauce for steak. I don't recall ever having it, so I don't know if it will go well with chicken or not. If you are good at food pairing, decide based on ingredients. Try it with chicken, since you have 2 sachets! Of course if you got the mushroom or peppercorn sauce, then definitely steak.

I hope this picture shows

9/26/2015 3:58:57 AM

I wouldn't $5 lafta bucks for all that shit at the grocery store

9/26/2015 7:25:29 AM

So to cancel you send an email to cancel@trytheworld.com

I did that but the reply was something about high-volume and delayed replies.

9/26/2015 1:14:09 PM

Cancel through the website and take screenshots of each step you complete in case they try to charge you later.

9/26/2015 1:59:32 PM

i dipped some chicken in the sauce and about gagged. dumped that shit out.

the jam however is pretty solid.

9/26/2015 4:05:16 PM

To its credit, it's not really a "dipping" kind of sauce. Did you even warm it up? This is why we can't have nice things.

9/27/2015 1:15:11 AM

^ lol exactly

to those who have canceled, i would suggest also sending an email to sayhello@trytheworld.com to let them know you have canceled and asking for confirmation. i sent an email and received confirmation (from a human) that my cancellation was successful.

9/29/2015 1:01:13 AM

How do you know it was from a human?

9/29/2015 1:02:10 AM

because i don't think they have invested in any AI technology that can read emails and then craft appropriate personalized responses!
