Global Snaxx Episode 11 or Episidio Once. SecsiMexi Part Dos.

Good day to you!

This is the part dos to the Snaxx that our own Balls sent to me. This is probably due to the fact that he knew that I would get addicted to SecsiMexi futbol! I’m fully addicted to the Mexican brand of futbol as it’s completely unpredictable and the quality of play is quite good. The only issue is of course the diving. I swear there are cartel snipers in each stadium with free license to take anyone out. Nonetheless I’m now addicted and use an illegal stream on game nights and always have it on in the background. I’m sure by now Balls wishes he hadn’t introduced the league to me as my constant texts are probably really annoying!

To the Snaxx!

Fritos Chile y Limon.

I have had Fritos before and I always deemed them sub par compared to a tortilla chip or regular potato chip. The ones in question were the regular salted flavoUr which didn’t really have a lot going for them. I enjoy Chile y Lime tasting things and figured these would be good. They were…alright. I do really like the flavoUr dust as you can really taste the lime which is the only things they have going for them. These would be great in some sort of seafood dip, would be like a chile and lime shrimp taco (or Ottawa Sandwich). I did see a Chorizo version of these up here which I will be sure to purchase when I head back to the Latin market. These are better than the salted version but Fritos are still Fritos and there are better salty snacks out there.

Note: been back to the Latin market and the Chorizo ones are out of stock.

Sponch! 

This has history at [DFO] from a meet up in LA. I will be honest, I do not know the joke so someone will have to fill me in below. It’s a marshmallow cookie thing with coconut and some sort of jelly. I’m not normally a fan of marshmallow but I was very excited to try it after hearing so much about it. It’s……… fucking delicious. It starts out very sweet, then you get a straight hit of coconut followed by the jam and cookie. I’m truly surprised how much I like these. I even left 1 in the bag for time of writing and it was stale as hell but still delicious. You had better believe I will be buying these again unless I can’t find them and then I’ll just ask Balls to send me more with bootleg Club Puebla gear. The Facebook sponsored jersey is really something special. I looked up to see if they actually wore it in a game, sadly they did. The NASCAR takeover of Mexican kits came so quickly….

I will not wear this one in public.

Cheetos Colmillos 

Ahora con mas sabor! – The first thing I notice is the cigarette warning at the top (not pictured). Exceso Calorios and Exceso sodio! Hell yeah, everyone needs excess calories and salt! I really like these, they are a superb spicy corn treat. The authorities weren’t lying, they are very salty and quite spicy so you will want a Mexican coke to wash it down. This is probably the 2nd favoUrite thing Balls sent me behind that fiery mix and match bag which was epic. These aren’t available in my local market which is a shame for my munchies but probably better for my health. Your fingers get that wonderful red coloUr and do NOT rub your eyes after thoroughly washing your hands. 

Morelianas – Fruta Picosta

At first glance he sent me a bag of fruit leather covered in sugar. There is so much loose sugar it is ridiculous.

I guessed that due to the name they are from where Morelia futbol club plays. I now associate everything Mexican with the local futbol heroes. (Damn YOU BALLS) The bags in side the bag are also very difficult to open. I am starting to think I am an absolute moron and can barely use my opposable thumbs. The ingredients are Mexican Hawthorne (I do not know what that is) sugar , Red 40 and tamarind, which basically makes it sugar fruit leather with my favoUrite Red (other than those the late TWBS used to post on Fridays for me). First impressions are that it does not need the excessive sugar at all. The Hawthorne and tamarind are delightfully tangy and would be a great snack for a kid barring the crazy amount of sugar. In the market there is a tonne of tamarind flavoUred stuff, I had no idea it was such a prevalent taste down there. (heh).

Last week I left you with a Fulham clip that made me happy, now back to some humoUr. This is a parody on Chopper Reid a gangster in the 80’s in Melbourne, Eric Bana played him a a really good movie. I actually shoulder barged the real Chopper by accident at a bar my ex worked at in Port Douglas, Australia. He was there on a speaking tour talking about his life etc. and I was trying to get by, he didn’t move so I went through him. This was not appreciated by the burly individual so I apologized (Canadia). It was only after I realized it was the heal Chopper Reid by checking out his ears which he had sawed off in the clink so he could go into solitary.

Be safe, and snack like you never have before during the NCAA tourney.
