I don’t get it … Gargamel created Smurfette, right? So he’s capable of making Smurfs. Why the fuck doesn’t he make his own god damn Smurfs to eat and turn into gold? Is he stupid?
They are delicious. But they tend to stick to your gums.

They are suspiciously labelled vegetarian, not vegan. And contain: beeswax
I also wonder what the trade value of gold might have been in that universe? For all we know, it might be an either/or situation. Like “Well, I could have my favorite takeout every Friday for a year, OR the newest smartphone.” Both are tempting but for different reasons. Like, “I could buy a lot of turnips, potatoes, and beer with one golden smurf and not have to worry every month if I have enough food, but then they taste REALLY good on their own.” Gargamel struck me as someone who didn’t have a lot of money, so having been poor myself, I understand this weird conundrum. Also, having a golden smurf to trade might bring unwanted attention from locals would who assume he has LOTS of them, and rob his home looking for them.
He must have eaten at least one to find out how good they are, right?
I’m pretty sure that Gargamel is a distant ancestor of Dr. Doofenschmirtz.
