rockford	Nom Nom Nom OR Vom Vom Vom? Today's the day I'm starting turning Japanese, well eating some weird Japanes foods. I'll try to post one a day, but with life, work and other things that tend to get in the way I might not. I wil be rating each product with a Nom or Vom value - Nom Nom Nom = More please. I love it! Nom Nom = It's very nice. I'd definitely eat this again. Nom = I can eat it, but it's nothing special. Vom = It's kind of unpleasant. I don't particularly like it. Vom Vom = That's gross. No more. Never again! Vom Vom Vom = I don't want to be in the same room as it, let alone put it into my mouth again!! It's coming back! So onto - Day 1 This is a typical look for most Japanese foods - quirky without giving any hint as to what lurks inside the wrapper! So what does lurk inside? Description and rating > Reveal 🔎 It looks and feels like a 5inch long Wotsit snack, but not bent. And with a hole down the middle. Rating > Reveal 🔎 Nom Nom It's got exactly the same texture as a giant wotsit. It tastes very salty, with a herby back-story. It's crunchy and fresh. Yep, this is nice. A good start.

Jayenkai	...like an unsliced Hula Hoop? Sounds nice, but doesn't appear to be very much of it. Definitely couldn't replace your lunch with it. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Thu, 16 May 2019, 07:29
rockford	No, Hula Hoops are potato - this is definitely more maize-like, exactly like a Wotsit. The snack is probably 3 cm wide and the hole down the middle is about 5mm. Probably there to prevent throat blockage and choking. Dunno. Definitely more like a Wotsit than a Hula Hoop. And yeah, it's not filling. At all.

Jayenkai	How bizarre!! .. did you try using it as a straw??! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Thu, 16 May 2019, 07:43
rockford	I wondered about that actually, but I'll just eat (or not!) the snacks as I find them.
Thu, 16 May 2019, 07:52
Jayenkai	Good luck on your quest!!!

rockford	There's more than I thought! > Reveal 🔎 Don't click on the spoiler below if you don't want to see the full range of goodies > Reveal 🔎 I won't be eating these in any specific order Day 02 Description and rating > Reveal 🔎 They look like little dried noodles. Rating > Reveal 🔎 NOM They appear to be exactly what they look like - dried noodles. They have a pork/bacon type flavour (as expected due to the pig on the pack), that's not unpleasant, but not great either. The packet is small, but I've had to eat it in small goes, a fingers pinch full at a time, as a little goes quite a long way. I can still taste the last lot that I had a five minute ago. So flavoursome, but not a great flavour.

Jayenkai	Not sure why he's giving you the finger!! Sounds nice, but I think I'll stick to my Frazzles. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Fri, 17 May 2019, 07:31
rockford	Sticking to Frazzles is a very good idea.
Fri, 17 May 2019, 09:03
spinal	How about ruler in the photos so we can judge the size? -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!
Fri, 17 May 2019, 09:49
rockford	Yeah, I thought about that after I posted the second one. Will add something for scale from tomorrow. I can assure you though that the photo image from the pig/noodle ones, as seen on my laptop, is MUCH larger than the packet in reality.

rockford	Day 03 The packaging is not giving anything away. I honestly had no idea what this was going to be... > Reveal 🔎 ...But I was not expecing that. Look like small crisps/snacks Rating > Reveal 🔎 NOM They have no discernible flavour. They seem to be a cross between dry/stale bread and a mini Monster Munch crisp. They leave a salty taste in the mouth after eating, but do not taste salty while eating. Strange.

rockford	Day 04 A teeny, tiny box of something that rattles. The packet shows a cat? and bells, so... > Reveal 🔎 Nope wasn't expecting that. Little choco balls? Rating > Reveal 🔎 NOM. NOM. Not chocolate balls at all. Not even chocolate. They're actually cola flavoured bubble gum. They start off as a crispy shell, (not as hard as say a Juicy Fruit), that cracks and the cola flavour intensifies. They taste more like Pepsi Max than Coke. And the flavour lasts quite some time - it's been five+ minutes so far and I can still taste it. And as there are four, I've got more to chew on later.

Jayenkai	Mmmm!

rockford	Day 05 A pyramidal bag of... what? > Reveal 🔎 I thought they'd be spicey peanuts or something akin. I was totally wrong. Rating > Reveal 🔎 NOM. NOM. NOM. They weren't nuts at all. On opening the packet they smelled like coffee or cocoa. But weren't anything chocolatey or coffee-eeey. Can you guess what they were? > Reveal 🔎 I bet you can't! > Reveal 🔎 Sugar Puffs. You didn't see that one coming, did you! Yep, they're sugar puffs. Exactly the same flavour and texture, but look different and a lot darker. But I shit you not.
Mon, 20 May 2019, 10:46
Jayenkai	Oooh, that sounds nice. > Reveal 🔎 I've gone off proper sugar puffs since they murdered them, taking away all the sugar. Boooooooo! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Mon, 20 May 2019, 10:47
spinal	Pepsi Max flavour bubble gum!?!?!?!?!?!
Mon, 20 May 2019, 10:53
rockford	> Reveal 🔎 These were the proper old fashioned Sugar Puffs (which I haven't eaten in at least 25 years, but you never forget the taste.) I presume they are in a tiny packet to limit the amount of sugar available to the ADHD generations! I've actually just looked at the packet in the photo (I never really looked at the proper one. It even shows you that they are wheatpuffs! D'oh! @Spinal. Yep!

rockford	Day 06 A small round foil topped package. > Reveal 🔎 And underneath > Reveal 🔎 That kind of gives it away... Or does it > Reveal 🔎 And inside... Yep, it's a chocloate coin. Rating > Reveal 🔎 Nom. Nom. It's a chocolate coin. Not famed for ever using the best chocolate. But it's nice enough. Better than cheapo choc. Getting the coin out of the packaging was a complete bastard. It broke. So I ate it. It had the same bottom image embossed on it. But what does that writing on the lid say? Good luck? This chocolate tastes foul? Screw you? Hello? Who knows!
Tue, 21 May 2019, 07:05
Jayenkai	shrugs not much to say.. chocolate coin, innit?! Um. Woot!!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	Day errr... 07 (Sorry there was no snack yesterday - busy with life, work and things). But today we have - > Reveal 🔎 Apparently the name "Sugata Fry" translates to "deep-fried squid snack with a whole shape of squid" so squid goodness all round then? Here goes lunch... > Reveal 🔎 I'm presuming that if I rearranged the bits it would look like a squid. Sort of. I'm not going to do that. The smell of ripe fish as I opened the packet was if not nauseating, pretty close. It looks like a big broken crisp snack, like a Frazzle, but crossed with a Dorito. I like Frazzles. I like Doritos. But which is better? There's only one way to find out! I figured that it may have been at it's best 4 months ago, when it wasn't out of date, but here goes nothing... Rating > Reveal 🔎 Vom. Vom. (Did you really expect anything else?) Based on having only half of the second largest part, it tastes... not really fishy. It doesn't really have a distinct flavour, but what's there isn't nice. TBF I've not a fish lover. Despite it looking like the glorious union of Frazzles and Doritos, the texture is more like that of a pork scratching. Shame it didn't taste like one though. Still. my dogs enjoyed it...

Jayenkai	Mmmmmm.. > Reveal 🔎

rockford	Day 8 Typical Japanese-ness going on here with this artwork. Not a clue what's going on or what the product inside actually is. But that artwork? It's great! > Reveal 🔎 Lots of little packets of... - Gone off chocloate stars? - Little sachets of drug laced stuffage? - Starfish, made with real... starfish? Who knows?! Rating > Reveal 🔎 Nom. Nom. Nom. Nom. Nom. Nom. Nom. Nom.... These are delicious!!!! They're not chocolate in themselves, they're kind of like hardish powdered candy that has a sweet milky chocolate flavour. I've had the flavour before, somewhere long ago, but the texture is new. But oh sooo lovely! I'm pretty sure they are drugs in candy form, as Inow want mooooooaaaaaoooor! These definitely make up for the squid the other day!
Sun, 26 May 2019, 10:49
Jayenkai	Sounds a bit odd! .. are you sure they weren't dog biscuits??! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Sun, 26 May 2019, 12:28
rockford	If they were, I don't care!
Mon, 27 May 2019, 05:40
rockford	Day 09 More Japanese artwork that doesn't appear to mean much. Until... > Reveal 🔎 It looks like a gummy hand. Hence the hands on the front of the packet? Rating > Reveal 🔎 Nom. It looks like a gummy hand, but it's actually... > Reveal 🔎 A gummy hand. Yeah, looks aren't deceiving. It tastes like generic cola. Nothing special.
