i arrived at work this morning with a little treat on my computer from my friend yumiko who is from japan. (she's the one who translated the ninja star, for those who remember.)
anyhow, it's quite tasty, and i was just informed that it's a deep fried rice cake.
the flavour is fish eggs.
yes.
it tastes like barbecue bugles (do you guys have bugles?)
what other snacks have you all tried that are unusual?
One snack that I fix alot for myself (and tell me if it's not weird enough) is Roasted Garlic Triscuits stacked with pepperoni, sprouts, black olives and provolone and then microwaved until it's melted.
It's GREAT!

Hippy.
I know what happens at 4:20.
:)
Sigh...
It's interesting, Corey. Right after I posted that and saw that you were online, I thought to myself, "Damn...I hope that pot reference won't attract a hippy post from corey".
Lo and behold...it did. :-/
hahaha. I couldn't resist. :)
It's an easy target.
i'm typically gun-shy when it comes to food, but this guy isn't

he's a funny, funny, FUNNY writer and his column on prison wine is hilarious.
also, the onion does an occasional feature on dollar-store snacks that is totally worth a dig through their archives.
bon appetit
Not an interesting snack but full of protien and organic goodness :)

Bacon and grape jelly sandwhish, they're delicioso. Mama says its a disgusting creation but it just seems logical to me not really weird.
bacon+anything = awesomeness
it took me 11 years to discover bacon, but i've never looked back.

Was it Senbei? :)
Man, they have some funny snacks here. Dried squid is very popular & actually tastes a hell of a lot better than you'd think...

i don't know. she left it as a surprise and wasn't at work, and... well i can't read japanese. but the other woman who works there informed me of the fishegg flavour.
the snacks are but one more reason why i really want to visit japan. i will bring with me an extra suitcase that i will only fill with snacks. (and maybe a rare b-side album or two)
and realdeal, at bonnaroo last year, there was a cliff bar booth with samples out all the time. i would venture a guess and say that some people lived off the free stuff at bonnaroo. there was a lot of it around. smokes, beer samples...
cliff bars are yummy. mmm.
another weird snack i've had is dried seaweed. it's delicious. i just had a babaganoush sandwich with pomegranate puree.
WHAT? how AWESOME is pomegranate puree??
let me tell you. very.
so yes. somehow i need to go to japan.
for snax.

That's so funny! Whenever my wife & I go home to the UK or visit the states we fill one suitcase with snacks, cereal & candy etc.
hmm beer samples!!! sounds like yet another good reason to go to bonnaroo!!
a great snack i love (sounds a bit weird but its great) is peanut butter (smooth or crunchy) smeared onto a celery stick. the fantastic combo of healthy/really not healthy!
vegemite on toast is the ULTIMATE snack. i missed it while i was away.... nothing better as a midnight snack
on the plane we were given little packets of roasted spiced sunflower seeds with dried anchovies.... seeds were good but anchovies? eeeeew
jar of peanut butter + spoon = hell yes
Pocky.
Quotejar of peanut butter + spoon = hell yes
I ate half a big jar of peanut butter one night when I was really high.
Okay, that happened more than once. This should be in confessions.
Tom, what's pocky?
db - dude, I for SURE took home numerous snax and sundries from the UK (including a nice big bottle of Pimm's). It was mostly the dairy milk that I knew I'd want. It is not the same.
And listen to me when I tell you that I goddamn would've brought a crate of that Karamel Sutra Ben and Jerry's flavour that you can't get here if I could've found a portable freezer.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocky
My sisters always ask me to bring them Pocky whenever I see them. How many flavors do you have in the US Tom? There are so many here...
there is no pocky in the US, quite unfortunately. my grandpa was a pilot for FedEx and was always over in Japan and east Asia, so he'd bring back awesome trinkets and weird-ass snacks for us to try out. and I gotta say, Pocky rocked my world. The strawberry kind. Good lord, what a perfect snack.
if i sent you a couple bucks, could you mail me some?
Hey Tom, PM me your address & I'll send you some Pocky for your Birthday, I'm not kidding :)
god i love this board. :)
Frickin A, man.
What the...? I didn't read this thread yet and I was thinking, hmm, I have to go in there so I can talk about POCKY!! And you guys already are. :)
Yum. Strawberry = yum.
Do you know what I'm eating right now?
Hello Kitty Pocky!

Except with this kind you get to dip the biscuit sticks yourself.
Haha, D - you make me laugh! ;D
Are you sure you're not part Japanese ;)
If Japan will have me, I'll pretend to be Japanese. I'll strut around the cities buying all sorts of delicious treats 'n things. Mmmmm.....
;D
I'll have a word with my Dad's mate, see if I can't pull some strings ;)
