More Interesting Snacks

17 Jul

The last few days I’ve been busy making cake pops, making phone calls, and making DVD’s, none of which I took a photo of (do you want a picture of our phone?  Because I’ll do it, mind you, if you clamor loud enough!).  So instead I thought I’d post a few more reviews of interesting international snacks we’ve tried a bit ago, but haven’t written about yet.

lonely god snacks

The first is another snack food from New Zealand, that Travis was kind enough to share with us.  ”Lonely God Potato Twists” are very unusual, but highly addicting.  They are shaped like spiral pasta, have the flavor reminiscent of Sour Cream and Onion Pringles, but with the texture of puffed rice.  It was very easy to eat a handful of these, and still be left with the feeling that you really hadn’t eat anything at all.

crack

Next up was an even more addicting candy from Peru, which our friend Jenn brought Justin back from her recent trip there.  And we were fully prepared to get addicted to it, as it was rightfully named “Crack”.  One type had a crunchy chocolate center coated in chocolate, while they other type was a crunchy peanut center coated in chocolate.  Yep, those two bags didn’t last too long once they were opened!  

sublimez

Jenn also brought Justin a Nestle Sublime chocolate bar, but he turned his back for a moment and somehow it tripped and fell into my mouth.  It happened so suddenly, in fact, that I kind of think Justin forgot it was even there.  They are oh so tasty, and I remembered them from my time in Peru.  Similar to a Mr. Goodbar, but with better chocolate.  

In all – fun, delicious treats.  Much more successful than the last taste test!

    I wonder how they came up with the name “Lonely God Potato Twists”?

      No kidding. Maybe if God ate them he’d have bad breath, and then the angels wouldn’t want to come near? ;-)
