Global Snaxx 8

Howdy! It’s that time again!

Since quite a few of you have enrolled in Snack Boxes I will endevoUr to include more from what I get going forward. Ig you want to send me what you thought of certain ones please do, I will include them going forward.

Writing these makes me miss travel more due to the ‘Rona and not really going anywhere. I have found though Scenic Relaxation on the youtubez that flies drones around the world is very soothing and doesn’t involve 75 tuk-tuk drivers yelling for your attention.

If you missed the 1st installments then check the sidebar for the other ones!

Italy

Tarallini – Limone e Pepe

Lemon and Pepper bagel bites, hell yeah! As far as taste goes these are as advertised, they taste like they should and are great with a lager! They are like dry dough, like a bagel chip in consistency. They have the right amount of Pepper which gives them a bit of that kind of heat and a little citrus at the end. I will definitely look for these at the Italian market. My very first time visiting Italy I was there for 2 weeks and ate pizza every single dinner. I was on a strict budget and they were inexpensive with a glass a house wine and I was set. One of the happiest moments of my life was having a pizza in Verona looking at the relic of a coliseum. 

Italy

Buondolce Orange – Carrot

It’s a wee piece of cake! It tastes like orange carrot cake although it’s quite dry. There really is nothing special about this treat.  I mean it is no Twinkie or Ding Dong but if you needed a sugar rush then give er. I don’t see myself ever in a situation where I just need a slab of cake but if I did I would probably go for something like Sponch!! (will be reviewed another time)

Spain

Torta Polvoron – Shortbread with Powdered Sugar Topping

I love me some shortbread. First taste is all aniseed, fuck I hate black licorice. I quickly looked at the ingredients and they include pork fat and wine! How could you go wrong? You can folks, and every other style of shortbread is better than this. The aftertaste is like I have been doing Sambucca shots and that is not good. I once vomited ouzo in Santorini off a 2nd story restaurant as the proprietor brought over free post dinner ouzo. It was vile, and I waited for the owner to head to the back and threw my head out a window. I am classy. 

Turkey

Clip Pizza-Sticks

Turkish Pocky! They are quite crunchy and not offensive at all compared to some of the things that I have eaten for these posts. They do taste like Pizza chips that were around these parts a few years ago. Weird thing is that I bought these at an Indian grocery store and they came in a 4 pack but are clearly meant for Germany as the writing on the bottom of the pack. I think that they are passable but not spectacular. When in Turkey kebaps are like two dollars a pop! I subsisted on a wrap of some nature 2 or 3 times a day for 3 weeks. The only time I got sick was when I had a meat pie at a British place in Antalya. (And a road side meat snack in Bulgaria)

Next week will include Kommentist participation! Thaks to all who have gotten back to me.

Have a great day!
