Kami, what the heck is this stuff...? The Chew-eez they sell here in the states in the gourmet delis in NYC they are like $2

Har har :D I did warn you :lol: thanks for you help dude :bigok: I was going to give you some beer/petrol money but you had me pay the other guy directly :lol:

From the top, L to R ... dried shredded squid, mini-salamis, bamboo-root-shaped chocolate-coated cookies, wasabi-flavoured seaweed, seaweed-wrapped rice-cracker sticks, 7-11 (and i-Holdings) brand deep-fried chicken knuckles and Hai-chu (grape and grapefruit IIRC) ... kind of a chewy candy, you got it!

I eat them all, quite happily. Man, I love dried-seaweed - the thin sheets of it are so good, like potato chips/crisps ... I eat them by the packet full! Squid-jerky is pretty good too, goes well with beer :D

Enjoy! :D

What a cool gift pack! I'd give it all a try... Except perhaps the deep-fried chicken knuckles. Bet my golden retriever would like those, though.

Snacks! jr loves the fruit chews (last pic)

I'm a huge fan of dried squid, spicy and non spicy.

I can bring you more in October, there is Cola candy and some more stuff.
Do you like Pocky?

I wasn't sure Pocky would have survived the trip - better no Pocky than ruin the experience with melted nastiness :D ... and I couldn't find Men's Pocky anyway :lol:

You coming over in October, Ric?! :singing:

no international plans this year. I'm limited to just Canada and USA trips.

however next year is a different agenda and budget.

out of the countries that do Dried Squid, hands down the best comes from Vietnam. homemade is even better.

asians eat all the weird stuff. hehehe.
