Those are German...are they available in the USA ?

lately I'm on black bean chips w/ goat cheese pepita dip... and plantain chips... and chili spiced mango slices... all from Trader Joe's, of course

Japanese rice crackers, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, dried algae leaves, cashews, fat reduced potato chips, and sometimes Snyder´s Honey Mustard Pretzels...

I've been on an asian market kick. Buying things like little cups of mango pudding and ginger candy and these things that are like freezy-pops but a little different. And I'm still on my exotic fruit kick. I bought rambutans last week.

There are these brown rice chips that I used to get @ Whole Foods - WAY over priced ($2.00+ for a small bag!) but so damn GOOD! & very low in fat... I wish I could buy them in bulk

Hell I'll pretty much eat any Utz potato chip.

and Snyder's Pretzels. The big hard sourdough ones. yummy.

asian spice chocolate

CarrieMpls said:

They're beautiful! What do they taste like?

KoolEaze said:

No!

applekisses said:

Tbet taste a bit like lychees but a little less delicate. Lychees kind of taste like a fruit-ish flower would taste. lol. Rambutans are a little more fruit-like, a little less floral.

CarrieMpls said:

I love a peanut butter sandwich!

Turkish meze...feta, grape leaves, olives, pita, hummus if it's in the fridge, eggplant salad (we make it often) This is a great breakfast, also. And vegetarian. It's high in vit E, good for hair and nails.

Hey ,cool ! I´m Turkish too, but in the wintertime I´m not really in the mood for meze unless I really , really have one of my Turkish moments .

I always associate meze with summer or at least springtime, don´t know why.

But I love hummus every now and then...very good for your hormone levels and , as you mentioned, for your hair and nails and skin.
Olives are great, too....but it´s a bit difficult to get the real good stuff over here, so that´s why I tend to buy Greek Kalamata olives, they remind me of the olives my aunt used to prepare.

I also have tons of dried figs here, from my aunt...being a true Agaen myself, I can´t get enough of them, especially with almonds or walnuts.

PS: This tastes best when flushed down with a couple of glasses of icecold Raki, an anis drink that is best when mixed with water.

purplerein said:

Nah, man, not those kinda figs...and, by the way , the pleasure of giving head to a woman strongly depends on the individual woman, some are fine and delicious, some taste nasty.

Blue Diamond Almonds are fantastic! Smokehouse flavor, please.


~I love apples & peanut butter for a snack.
~All kinds of fresh fruit. (Love you, Carrie!)...
~And, Kettle Chips/Vickie's brand potato chips.




I eat jitterbugs too!

... lol (j/k)

If you were here in the western desert of Iraq, I'd share mine with u..... I have smokehouse, wasabi and soy, lime and chili....weird though, because unless they're lightly flavored, I usually don't go for almonds....

reneGade20 said:

I wish. lol

I drank too much of the greek version on my honeymoon in Greece and threw up.
When I was in Turkey at a small village restaurant, I got up and bellydanced with the gypsy dancer, and the other patrons sent all these glasses of Raki plus fruit to our table. It's way too potent to drink much of.

We have a middle eastern grocery store in town. The owner slaughters lamb (and goat) every thursday so there's fresh chops, or leg for a good meal. He also has 6 differnt types of feta and 5 types of olives, including a spicey batch with chilis. We buy olive oil by the gallon, and it's good qualilty at a reasonable price. I like to make spinach borek. I use a spicey meat filling too.
And don't forget about the tasty rice pilav with the spaghetti noodles fried in butter. YUM.
