Mogyi Micro Pop Cheese Flavour

Here's another thing I saw in the Polish Supermarket. It caught my eye. Cheese flavoured popcorn???
How odd...




It looks like this but in English :o

It's in the microwave as we speak and I can hear it popping from upstairs....
Powerful stuff, haha

As well as being my first experience with foreign cheese flavoured popcorn, it's also my first experience with micro popcorn. I've added a bit of salt to these too

They smell rather nice, kind of like cheesy mash. And they taste ok too just a hell of a lot of them, haha. I didn't think there'd be this much....
They're not the cheesiest of things, but it's a nice flavour when you hit some. Maybe I'll melt some cheese on top or something
They're a bit dry, but very addictive. Pretty good. If I were in the shop again, I'd probably pick up another packet

Pork Farms Toastables Cheese And Ham

Here's something I found in the pound shop up town in the fridge. Usually I don't trust things in the pound shop fridge (the bacon's always a funny colour), but this sounded pretty good. I also picked up a bacon and brown sauce one, but I'll try that another day
I'm lazy and couldn't be bothered to get the toaster out, so I put it in the microwave for a minute. I'm sure they'd be much better from the toaster, including crispier (it seems kind of floppy at the moment). So it's basically cheese and ham (or a mush of said ingredients) in pastry somewhat representing that all time favourite breakfast food item, toasted bread. On the back it says "...crisp golden pastry". Crisp? Crisp? Hahahaha.... I'll try the other one in the toaster and comment on the crispiness then. But this one is about as flaccid as... <Insert your own comment here>
So onto tasting it....
It's really bland and tastes just like pastry. I can only just notice any kind of filling. The texture feels the same all the way through. Soggy pastry with soggy pastry on the inside. I wouldn't be surprised if this was literally just a lump of pastry, because that's what it tastes and feels like. There's no slice of ham in it, so it has to be all mushed up with "cheese"
I just read the back and there's 6% reformed ham, 5% processed cheese and 4% cheddar cheese. So that's only 15% filling. I was right, this is basically a lump of pastry.
If you love chewing on cardboard, then this is the snack for you! 8D
It's a good idea, but really poorly executed

Thank god I've finished that....

Herr's Jalapeño Popper Cheese Curls

So now I'm down to the last savoury thing from my shipment from the Stateside Candy Co. :(
These sound really good. Jalapeños - good, cheese - good, crisps - good
What could make for a better recipe?
I've tried making my own jalapeño poppers before, and they're awesome!
I might have to make more one day....

These smells pretty darn good. Let's hope they taste just the same
They taste kind of like a spicy version of Dairylea. The flavour's not a intense as the other pack I've had, but it's a much nicer taste. There's the right amount of spice to leave a tingle on your tongue and the cheese isn't overpowering. Yeh, these are really nice :D
I think I'm gonna have to order some more soon

Therefore, I shall award them with my highest rating so far! Nine out of ten! :D

Herr's Buffalo Blue Cheese

So here I am sat at the computer again with yet another bag of American goodness! :o
Herr's Buffalo Blue Cheese flavour cheese curls!
On the top it says "Over baked with real cheese!", but being American
, it's most likely the most minuscule amount of cheese you cold imagine.
Well, would you have ever thought of it?! Cheese is actually high up on the ingredients :o
I've only ever tried blue cheese once when I was a lot younger, but I've had buffalo wings\buffalo sauce a few times. I have a bottle of the sauce in my drawer as we speak.
Going by the packet, these look akin to Wotsits here in the UK
Let's pop this bad boy open and give them a whirl....

WOW! These are massive! They're bigger than my little finger, haha
They smell kind of nasty, that strong, sour smell some cheese have. I'm assuming that's what blue cheese smells like
Mm... They're fairly spicy and you can taste the cheese flavour pretty well. They melt really easily in my mouth leaving a pleasant tingle from the spice behind. The flavour is pretty intense, the crisps themselves are generously covered in flavouring. The cheese is really strong with a fairly sour taste and kicks your tongue into submission, but it gets a bit too much after a few.
There's not too many in the pack, but I guess that's made up for with the size and the intense flavour

Overall these are pretty damn good. Well done, America! Have a sticker *Gives a sticker*
I want to give them a nine out of ten, but the cheese overpowers the buffalo taste a bit more. I'll be awkward and award them eight and a half out of ten ;)

Chex Mix

Another American snack! :o
This time it's Chex Mix
Why's it say Brand Snack underneath the logo?
Apparently a "bag of interesting" according to the back. Guess what else the back says? Yup, artificial crap again! Oh, how I love chemicals! :3
I got these for 15p and they're about a fortnight out of date, but hey, I'm not fussy. All the chemicals shall stop any degradation! 8D

These look kind of like an elaborate version of Cheese Savouries which we can get in this country pretty cheap.
Oh, go on then, let's open them up....
Ugh, they smell nasty.... Is that a Shreddie in there? Maybe these have been knitted by nanas too. But I guess that's better than the jumper with a reindeer on with the big, sticky out, bobbly, red nose you get every year for Christmas that you'll only wear when you go round and wear those stupid little paper hats which tear at the slightest whisper of air. There's also a ring, a window, a triangle and some wiggly thing. The circle and window shape look like the same type of thing as a pretzel. The triangles are intensely orange compared to the others.
I suppose it's time to try them, eh?
The window.... No cheese flavour at all, just a pretzel thing. And the same for the ring. How about the wiggly thing? Every so slightly cheesy, barely noticeable. Now for the shreddie. Slightly more flavour, but not really cheese flavoured. There's a slightly nutty taste But nicer than the others so far. Now for the triangle. These look like they've beaten all the other shapes into submission so it can steal their flavour. Hmm, they must've got arrested and had the flavour confiscated because there's still not a lot
Oh, hang on, a super flavour saturated shreddie... Ach! That's not a nice taste. A really funny, off-tasting "cheese" flavour.
The pretzel pieces taste kind of like breakfast cereal.
Cheddar cheese is the only cheese-looking ingredient on the list and it's 3rd from last. I don't know about the US, but I think in the UK, the ingredients are listed from most to least. If it's the same other the pond, then I'm not too sure how they can pass these as "cheddar" flavour. It should say "funny chemical, nasty fake cheese flavour" on the pack.
The range of shapes are a really good idea, there's different textures and tastes to the actual pieces, but the cheese flavouring.... No..... It's not too nice, to be honest. If the flavouring was decent, then I'd give these a maximum of 7 or 8 of ten, but other than that, I'll give them a 4

America, you ain't got nowt on our cheese savouries, bitch!

Combos Jalapeño Cheddar Tortilla

While I'm waiting for the Simpsons to start on channel 4, I thought I'd do another review. Yet another product from the Stateside Candy Co
Here we go....
I'm not entirely too sure what to expect from these, but the flavour sounded good, hence why I bought them. Only 59p ;)
So let's open them up....
But first, a quick look on the back, and guess what? Yup.... There's artificial flavourings in them (Surely it's easy enough to make cheese and chilli flavour?)

Anywho, as soon as I open the bag, I can smell them. It smells cheesy and chilli-ish. That's a good sign. They look like cylindrical biscuity\crackery things with some sort of soft cheese stuff in the middle and some salt sprinkled on top (is it salt? It better not be dandruff....)
Here's a picture of them

Tasting time! :o My favourite part....
Hmmm... Not the strongest flavour in the world, but a nice one. I can't really taste any chilli, but I can feel the slightest kick of spice in the back of my mouth and throat. They taste familiar. Sort of like Tuc sandwiches except with a kick, here's a picture of them
There's not a great deal in the pack, maybe 18 or 19 and they're about half the length of a double A battery.
If I order from this site again and these are at the same price, I'd definitely buy them again

As I'm eating these, the spice I'm feeling in the back of my throat is getting stronger with each one
But overall, pretty nice, shame about the weak chilli flavour, but well worth checking out ;)
A seven and a half out of ten ;)

Andy Capp's Cheddar Fries!

Hellooooo
Here I have another item from my order from the Stateside Candy Co.
Andy Capp's Cheddar Fries! :o
Here's a picture
There appears to be some sort of cockney\farmer on the pack, haha
There's not a lot interesting on the pack, but wow! Look at the list of ingredients....
Oh, what a surprise. Artificial flavours and colours!
So these are a corn and potato snack, and I'm assuming cheese flavour....

Let's open them up....
It's the usual deal with crisp type things, half a pack only and the rest is air
They smell like generic cheese and onion crisps. So let's try one....
They're pretty easy to bite through, like those salt and vinegar sticks you can get. The flavour's not all that strong, but it's a kind of toasted cheese flavour and slightly herby.
I picked these up for only 20p because they were about a week out of date (at the time of ordering), but I'm not fussy, it's only a week....
Maybe they'd taste a bit stronger before the date, but I don't know....
They have a funny, slightly off-tasting after taste

So let's give them a rating....
I'd give them a 5 out of 10
I probably wouldn't buy them again unless they were dirt cheap. If you see them cheap, give them a go, but otherwise, naaaahhhh, don't bother
