Nongshim – Spicy Kimchi Ramen Potato Chips

Keeping up with brands I remember growing up with is always a mixed bag. Sometimes I remember them fondly and find out they’re doing some questionable things, and other times I find out they simply…

Maretti – Tomato, Olives & Oregano Bruschette Chips

Maretti – Tomato, Olives & Oregano Bruschette Chips

Every once in a while I get really nostalgic for snacks and crackers I had as a kid, even if a part of me kind of reviled them. I was a kid, I was hungry…

Darrell Lea – Mixed Fruit Soft Australian Licorice

Darrell Lea – Mixed Fruit Soft Australian Licorice

Licorice as a candy often bets a bad rap. While I do love my some licorice, I totally see why people wince or cringe at the mere word. The term gets kind of confusing these…

DARS Chocolate – Tiramisu

DARS Chocolate – Tiramisu

By now I’m sure I’ve made it quite clear that coffee as a drink and flavour is just not my jam. I prefer to find other ways to get my caffeine intake if necessary, and…

Calbee – Four Cheese Pizza Chips

Calbee – Four Cheese Pizza Chips

Red Band – Wine Gums

Red Band – Wine Gums

Haitai – Spicy Rice Cake Sticks

Haitai – Spicy Rice Cake Sticks

Spicy rice cakes, or tteokbokki as it’s more commonly known in Korean, are a very common staple in Korean cuisine and one of my favourites. Well, the rice cakes themselves, not so much the spicy…

Indianlife – Palak (Spinach) Chips

Indianlife – Palak (Spinach) Chips

I can’t say I’ve had much experience with Indian style snacks, but I do know they have some tasty fried snacks, and I’m expecting these to be similar in format. As far as spinach based…
