Global Snaxx Round 7.

Good day, shall we go for our 7th spin around the globe? We shall!

**Note** I subscribe to the Universal Yums box and I know a few of you have done so as well. Mrs. Cola has let me know that I give you are reference we both save money! Shoot me a message if you wish.

Should any of you want to jump in the reviews from the snacks you receive please let me know.

If you missed any of the prior spins the powers that be have now put Snaxx in the sidebar. I MADE IT BABY!

Thailand

Mae Napa – Sticky rice with Coconut Cream & Mango

I read the bag and there are three options to eat this thing. One involves hot water, one the microwave, the third was to eat it raw, I ate it rawdog. I believe that it would have been better microwaved, but there is no way I am soaking this thing in hot water for 5 minutes. They’re like a sweet glue substance that doesn’t have an off putting taste but does have a weird texture.  I definitely wouldn’t go out of my way to find these and eat them again as there are better things to eat on a Khao San Road reminiscing tour. If you’ve ever been to Bangkok then you’ve probably been to Khao San Road, which is known as the backpackers ghetto. There are food stands down the whole street where you can get all sorts of street food and buckets! A bucket is a child’s beach bucket with 1 mickey of Sangthip Whiskey, can of coke, and a bottle of Thai Redbull. Rocket fuel.  You can party 24 hours a day there however after midnight things do get a bit more sketchy. Always keep a keen eye out for an Adam’s apple!

Scotland

Mackie’s of Scotland Turkey and stuffing flavoUred potato crisps.

 It was a chilly Canadian night and had been a long day. I bid good evening to the manservant and thanked the nanny for minding our child. I retired to the reading room for a dram and some roasted meats. Damn! The nanny cooked me nothing. She will pay for that. These “crisps” taste like Stove Top stuffing. Either you like it or you hate it and I am in the camp of loving stuffing in all forms. As a poor student I would buy bargain bacon and boxes of Stove Top stuffing and that would be my weekly meal because I would not compromise beer money for food. I don’t know if these were baked but they are a lot more dense than the usual British Crisps. I would definitely recommend these with a Brown Ale at a pub, they would be perfect. Not my fave UK chip but I wouldn’t turn them down if they were offered to me. 

Taiwan

Salted Egg Yolk Popcorn 

I’m very leery about what could be inside this bag, but the first problem is that I can’t open it. I need the fucking jaws of life over here. I did ask my wife, and she basically used the raccoon method to open it. which is always fun. They smell like normal popcorn but are kind of like a salty/sweet white cheddar type popcorn? They definitely have a weird funky aftertaste of which Mrs. Cola is not a fan. There are better popcorn products on the market, however the more that I eat these, the more I am enjoying them.

I am now halfway through and they are not very good.

A very strange creation Taiwan. I have been to Taiwan once and was stuck in the airport for 12 hours as a volcano was going off near Bali and the dust apparently can ruin engines. All I wanted was the flight to be delayed a full day so I could get into to town and eat so me real wild things. That being said there were some good restaurants in the airport and I had the best dumplings of my life. We both want to go back to Taiwan and actually leave the airport as the travel shows that I have seen show the island as a beautiful green space. 

Russia

Mushroom Croutons. 

Mushrooms are right beside mayonnaise and blue cheese on my list of hated foods. Easy open bag, and there is no smell to them whatsoever which is a blessing. At first taste they are quite bland, but straight up they taste like a cardboard box that once housed mushrooms. Texture? A bit gritty, but kinda crispy, I guess they would go well in a salad. Personally there would be no reason to ever buy these again. Mushrooms can get the hell out of here, I have tried all sorts in all ways and I do not like them whatsoever.

I just tried them again and they are bland as fuck.

Mrs. Cola’s hands smell like she has been digging for truffles and it is quite off putting. I guess the Russians like nuts because this snack box had a bunch of nut filled goodies and since I can’t eat them Mrs. Cola was very happy. 

As always be safe, have a snack and a giggle.

*Tacos and sushi are not sandwiches.
