Beer n Snacks Pt 2: Snacks!

Part two: Snacky time!

This is a selection of things we've been buying, often while drunk.


Big Katsu - it's jerky that's crumbed and flavoured like katsu - crumbed pork. There's also this curry flavoured 'sauce' on there. It's much better than you think it will be. I'll be bringing some of these back to keep me occupied on the plane - sort like a dog with a dried pig's ear or something.



A pick from the Cheetos 'Night Selection' - y'know, for those classy after 5:00 soires that we always throw in our hotel room? This is the basil and salt flavour. Not bad.


These chili flavoured chips were a revelation. Perfect with beer and for ruining your dinner.

And next we come to Chip Star. These are like Pringles, but about half the price.
Consomme and Nori flavours picked up from a 100 yen store.



Turns out Lu is a fiend for ice cream. Must be rebelling against her vegan past or something. This little ice cream sandwich was miraculous in that the biscuit part was actually crunchy.


I know you can get Toppe in Melbourne but they're still good. It's like Pocky in reverse.


We bought this on a whim the other day - they must be new cos they're pushing them everywhere. I think it's a diet food. It kind of tasted like a slice your sister made (and subsequently burnt) in home economics. But it has chocolate in it so you eat it anyway.

Sounds like you hit the Japanese snacks lottery.
Soy Joy got a semi-jokey (totally paid) mention once on 30 Rock - "Fortified with Optimism!" is their actual slogan (even though it sounds like a 30 Rock punchline)!
