.FOOrD BLOrG. Mexico!!! I am looking at you!

If you are one of the three people who look at this exercise in snackdom than you already know that I have little to no faith in Mexico's snack kingdom. But let me stress this point, I am still trying their goods (mostly bads thus far) because they dererve the benefit of the doubt. So here we have 'Salaghetti' which if you are like me then you made this in college with Taco Bell hot sauce packets and cheap pasta. This product however is, of course, Mango flavored gummy noodles with a packet of chili sauce for drizzling. Yep, I have been putting this off for over a month now and busted it out since we had a friend Kristen over and she was down for the sampler platter so this was the debut that evening. Well one of two but the rest will be in a separate post. Here we go:

1. Typical gummy scent with a dry almost dirty accent with a hint of pee. (All three of us came to that conclusion.)

2. The initial flavor of mango is nice. (This first taste was without the drizzle.)

3. We added some drizzle and here is the breakdown:

K- Tastes like barf and salivation.

S-My mouth is watering like I need to puke.

D- You are both correct.

4. Now 4 is usually reserved for the second trial of a snack and usually is the saturation point of the pungent snacks. That was so true here and I regretted every second of it. The nausea quality to this product is pretty sickening and sticks with you luckily we had a second item to try but again that is for next time.

Step 4 bled into 5 which is usually the aftermath. None of us wanted much more aftermath than we had survived so once we had braved the 'Salsaghetti' we were ready to forget it. Much like the other shame foods of college years when looking back at this snacksperience I think I can speak for all three of us when I say 'Let us never speak of this again.' Oh and Mexico you better get with the program or you'll be out in the cold like Finland.

P.s. Check out that partying Duck!! Why is there a duck in Mexico anyway? I have never seen a duck in Mexico. I bet they only have them in zoos.

.FOOrD BLOrG. Calling for backup Moufs.

Alright, so I needed back up and Sarah was game so one night I made a sampler plater. Well the next night Dave and Rosa came by so I made another sampler plater for them and here is how it broke down:In order to save time Sarah will be represented by S, David by D, and Rosa by R.
S-Liked it. Functionable to erase bad tastes. (see next snack) Not good chewing gum.

D-Tastes like pinesol and ginger. Flavor dissapates quickly.

R- Tastes of chlorine. I like it but it tastes like chlorine.
S- Compressed arlic salt and one drop of blood.

D-Pee, chicken boulion and salt.

R-salt and chicken.
S-Tastes like Jaeger.

D-Tastes like amaretto.

R-Agreed. Ameretto Jaeger.

S- Like licking a dusty leather boot.

D-Bad pulled pork

R-Frittos and beef

Yup, these here are essentially cheetos but Tom Yum soup flavor.

dirk-They smell of lemon grass and taste of lemongrass. Doesn't taste like the soup but they are spicy and taste also of lime. I ate quite a few.

S-Tastes like lemongrass and they are spicy...give you fish breath. Or seaweed.

D-Breath smells like fish, of the sea.

R-delicious, spicy, loved it.
That concludes our sampler platter experiment. All of these have there own blog post with the exception of the tom yum fritto chips. I'd like to take this moment to thank my contributers for their valiant efforts and brave tounges.
