I sampled all the stuff I bought from the Asian Market with the exception of the plum osmanthus juice
My favorite is the Pea-Peanut Brittle-It tastes like *no sugar* peanut brittle. My least favorite are these white taffy type candy that taste like I'm eating raw agar off a petri dish...(not the taro wafers-they just tasted like sugar).
Those red candies on a stick I showed above: I really expected them to be on a stick. False advertising! I'm disappointed.
I was under the impression these were dried tomatoes or something. I guess I should have looked closer...
These are Hawthorn berries that have been pitted, dried, sugared, and sesame seeds added.
They have a super hard shell and once you use a disturbing amount of jaw strength to crack them and bite through-my gf describes it as 'Getting slapped in the face with tangy-ness'.
I daresay these are the most tangy things I've eaten since I sampled a variety of authentic Indian sauces. lol I'm not a huge fan of these candies, but, my gf scarfed them all down within an hour-and she would definitely make me buy them again...
I should also mention they are about a year past their expiration date. Almost much everything I bought (at a legit asian supermarket-no less) was past expiration (upon review). I suppose that is something I should keep an eye out for in the future...
