rockford	Nom/Vom '21 It's back!!! Once again my wife has bought a truckload of foodstuffs from international shores. Some of it I can read - much of it, I haven;t got a clue, although some is familiar. So, yeah, more of the same as Nom/Vom 20. Same rules as before; I vote in "Noms" and "Voms" - the nicer the foodstuff the more "Noms" it gets, the nastier the food the more "Voms" it gets. So - Nom Nom Nom = Awesomely tasty and I definitely want more of these Nom Nom = I'd happily eat that again Nom = It's OK. Nothing Special N/V = It's so middle of the road between like/dislike it doesn't deserve a Nom or Vom Vom = I'm not really sure Vom Vom = I don't really like it Vom Vom Vom = Pass the sick-bucket, Quick!!! I will try to do at least one item per day; it may be from any country...

rockford	Day 01 > Reveal 🔎 These are like Hula Hoops, but are potato free. They are more like Doritos, but airier. But how do they taste? > Reveal 🔎 NOM Disappointing. They were OK, but didn't really taste anything like Bar-B-Q. Kind of sweet, but not meaty. \|edit\| Or smoky.

Jayenkai	Yeah, that BBQ sauce I got in the degustabox, last year, was sickly sweet. Not sure what America's using to BBQ things. Must be Honey glaze, coated in Syrup, with sugar sprinkles... -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	It's strange what other countries use to flavour their foods - US foods tend to be on the sweet side, whereas the Japanes foods tend to be salty. The US "might" have invented BBQ, but they haven't got a clue what great BBQ flavour actually is!

rockford	Day 02 > Reveal 🔎 Little chocolate nuggets of cookie dough goodness? > Reveal 🔎 N/V Nope! These are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sweet that I can feel my teeth rotting just thinking about them. They also taste like rum. I could understand if the cookie dough was rum and raisin flavour, but it's supposed to be choc-chip cookie dough. I don't mind the rum flavour, but it's nothing like what you expect from the packaging. If you can imagine the old Rum Balls sweets but sweetened to the nth degree and smaller, then you've pretty much got these. Only these are even sweeter. They're tiny, but I managed just two. No more of those today, methinks!

Jayenkai	Ooooh. Those sound nice.. mmmm...

cyangames	Rum flavoured eh? Ohhhh, sounds nice, sweet, sweet rum -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

rockford	Day 03 > Reveal 🔎 Donatello? Michealangelo? Raphael? Leonardo? > Reveal 🔎 Nope. A chocolate splat of something! > Reveal 🔎 Nom Nom It's like a squashed Snickers (Marathon), but without the nougat. Surprisingly less sweet than I was expecting too. Which is good.
Mon, 04 Jan 2021, 16:14
Jayenkai	Ok!!!
Tue, 05 Jan 2021, 14:21
rockford	Day 04 > Reveal 🔎 Korean Hula Hoops-y? > Reveal 🔎 Nope. The texture is unlike any crispy snack I've ever had. It's not potato, like Hula Hoops, or wheat like Wheat crunchies or Doritos. It's weird. And despite being "Honey dipped" they do not taste of honey and they're not that sweet. > Reveal 🔎 N/V. I've not had too many as they are quite bland.

Jayenkai	> Reveal 🔎 Ingredients : Wheat Flour, Palm Oil, Sugar, Starch Syrup, Salt, Ammonium Bicarbonate (E503), Nutmeg Powder, Oligosaccaride, Sesame Seed, Sodium Bicarbonate (E500), Smoke Flavour, Cinnamon Powder, Docosahexaenoic Acid, Biscuit Flavour Samyang tend to make noodles. Is it possible these are a form of noodle-snacks? Linkage https://starrymart.co.uk/samyang-honey-dipped-snack-chang-gu-75g.html -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	It's popssible, but I don't think so. It's not even like a dried pasta (penne et al) - it's just unusual. And exactly where is the honey? :/
Wed, 06 Jan 2021, 02:58
Jayenkai	Don't ask me! You're the one that ate them!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Wed, 06 Jan 2021, 02:59
rockford	I wasn't really asking you... The name of this snack would be illegal in this country. And I haven't eaten them all. Just a a few!
Wed, 06 Jan 2021, 03:19
Jayenkai	wasted snacks!!??

rockford	Day 05 > Reveal 🔎 Black grape flavoured gummies? > Reveal 🔎 Yep! I love black grape, but these don't really taste like black grape at first and have a really nasty, artificial smell, which permeates into an aftertaste, which then disappears, replaced by a more grapelike flavour. Strange... And, surprisingly, they're not overly sweet. > Reveal 🔎 NOM NOM They may not taste much like grap, but these little buggers are addictive!
Thu, 07 Jan 2021, 09:46
Jayenkai	Ooooh, those sound good.
Sun, 10 Jan 2021, 13:21
rockford	Day 06 > Reveal 🔎 The box they come in is cute (hex shaped) and the character biscuits look sweet too. I wonder if they taste sweeeeeeeet! > Reveal 🔎 These are little panda shaped and printed biscuits filled with a coconut cream type centre (not like the shredded coconut of a Bounty). But are they nice? > Reveal 🔎 NOM NOM NOM Must eat more!!!!!
Sun, 10 Jan 2021, 15:14
Jayenkai	Mmmmmmmmmm
Tue, 12 Jan 2021, 09:54
rockford	Day 07 > Reveal 🔎 Chocolate AND Pie goodness? > Reveal 🔎 NOM NOM NOM Yep! It's basically a Wagon Wheel (with less chocolate coating), filled with marshmallow fluff, rather than that creamy stuff. As you can imagine, it's very sweet!
Tue, 12 Jan 2021, 09:59
Jayenkai	"Less" chocolate!!?.?
Tue, 12 Jan 2021, 09:59
rockford	Day 08 > Reveal 🔎 Worms? Potato worms? > Reveal 🔎 NOM NOM Kind of. It's not like solid potato (eg mashed potato extruded into a worm shape), it's more like potato starch and other stuff. Ready salted flavoured. Well, more potato starch and something else flavoured, with salt added in. Not the best crispy things I've ever had, but it was a big bag and now it's gone... My wife helped out.
Tue, 12 Jan 2021, 10:01
rockford	Re: less chocolate - Yep. It's kind of thinly scraped/sprayed. The pack image makes it look likes there's a nice layer of it. The packet lies. It's just about thick enough that you can't see through it. Like a couple of coats of paint...
Thu, 14 Jan 2021, 13:56
rockford	Day 09 > Reveal 🔎 Difficult to tell what this is from the packet. From the back, I thnk it's Polish. > Reveal 🔎 NOM NOM NOM These are coconut mallow semi-circles of goodness on a thin crumbly biscuit base, topped off with hundreds & thousands. They taste almost exactly like - > Reveal 🔎 But without the jam. And covered in hundreds & thousands sugar sprinkles. Lovely
