Mamba

Yesterday I popped into the Polish supermarket again to see what I could found. I grabbed so much, I had to get a friend to help carry it all (I didn't pick up a basket. But then again, I don't think they have any)
I can find a picture of an English (American?) version, but not the ones I found, so here's a picture for your eyes (I've bought a new camera recently)


After a bit of research, I've found out these are a German product and are made by the same company as Werther's Originals (I never knew that was German....)
The entire packaging is in Polish, but you can guess what flavours they are from the pictures. The top one is cherry and banana and the bottom one looks like apple and melon

They look a bit like Maoams or something
Cherry+Banana (Top), Apple+Melon (Bottom)
Let's try the cherry and banana first. Simply because I can't say I've ever heard of that combination before and I'm not the biggest fan of banana ever
It's instantly banana-ish and not so much cherry-ish. But it's a nice banana flavour. It's pretty good

Now the melon and apple....
This one's good. Really melon-ish, but you can still taste the apple underneath
They're moderately soft, but you need to work them around before you can chew them easily, but they're not bad for what I paid for them (about 25p per pack)

8 out of 10 :o

Jack Link's Chicken Bites Flamin' Buffalo Style

These were picked up in B&M. They sounded really good so I bought 8 packs without even knowing what they're like, haha
At 29p a packet, you can't go wrong. But I was surprised to see something like this not in a fridge. It says on the pack they don't need to be refrigerated as well, but I put them in the fridge when I got home anyway. The pack I have with me, however, isn't from the fridge. I took them to work for my break but I didn't end up eating them, so they're a bit warm

Now, I like chicken. I like spicy food even more (Damn, I could've got some spicy chicken from Asda today....), so these sounded awesome to me. Let's open them up, shall we?
There's a little sachet to suck up any moisture, so don't try and sprinkle it everywhere thinking it's salt or you'll end up not feeling too well. They smell kind of funny and off, but at the same time, pleasantly warm and spicy. They're not too big, just enough for a bite, like the name says.
Mmmm... They're kind of dry and tough, but they have a really nice taste to them. It's only mildly spicy (I always thought Buffalo was a really hot flavour?) I can't quite tell what's in it, but it's great either way
You only get a handful of decent size pieces and then there's a load of straggly bits at the bottom, but they're just as good if not better due to the fact they're not as tough

I really like these, I think they're great :D
If you see any, they're definitely worth trying out ;)
Nine out of ten!
