Rare imported food finds

Found these two gems at Jason’s Market in Sanxia today. Chocolate cigars and guacamole.

Uh are those intended to be eaten together, or separately?

“Creamy Guacamole flavored dip”?

Let’s hope it remains a rare find!

Why does it say it’s from Japan?

Is it just a chocolate in the shape of a cigar? Never seen it before.

The cigars may or may not be nice. No comment.

But take it from a food industry guy, any time you see the phrase “______ flavored ______” its not actually whatever the blanks appear to be advertising. I do a fair bit of food industry work, including labelling. And if it’s A, bet your ass it is advertised as A. If its not A, its called A “flavored”, made from A, etc…

In life it is either is A, or it isnt…rea the label!

Herrs products and the sour cream aren’t all that rare. Why cheese salsa has completely disappeared remains a mystery.

I had them when I was a kid, I smoked them like crazy!

You take salsa and add cheese, problem solved!

Cheese salsa was not high quality cheese, but to get the same flavor you have to use expensive cheese. Maybe not everywhere, but it seems like all they have here is cheap cheese and expensive cheese. The jarred salsa here is heavy on water also. It’s fine on it’s own, but with cheese it makes the entire mixture watery.

At Family Mart today:

Sorry, this next one is blurry.
It’s like a yogurt energy / cereal bar.

Along with the Red Velvet Oreos I also saw decaf coffee in 7-11 this morning. I’ve only ever seen decaf at Starbucks and sometimes Carrefour.
