Taste Test – MunchPak February 2023 #2

March 3, 2023 Joseph Candora Asia, China, Europe, Japan, Mexico, MunchPak, Netherlands, North America, Poland, South Korea, Taste Test

Our second MunchPak for this month is again a total winner. We continue to be amazed at the quality of the snacks when compared to other subscription snack boxes. The only complaint being that the snacks come from a variety of countries and do not have a single theme. Although the box does not have the educational value of other subscriptions it is perfect for sitting down in front of the TV. This turned out to be our highest rated box ever Alex 8.04 out of 10, Joe 7.47 out of 10.

Taste Test – HP Sauce

September 29, 2022 Rita Aguilar England, Europe, London, Netherlands, Taste Test

HP Sauce is a British brown sauce, the main ingredients of which are tomatoes and tamarind extract. It was named after London’s Houses of Parliament. After making its first appearance on British dinner tables in 1899, HP Sauce went on to become an icon of British culture. The bottle I purchased was manufactured in The Netherlands and distributed out of London. I am not a huge steak fan but I decided to try the sauce on some steak and prime rib.

Taste Test – Try the World (January 2021)

July 10, 2021 Joseph Candora Asia, Europe, France, India, Japan, Netherlands, Taste Test, Try the World, Turkey

Our first Try the World subscription box for 2021 has arrived. To go along with the disappointment of not having any descriptive material in the box there was a repeat item from only a few months ago. I would give up this subscription but the quality of the products is still top notch. The cultural experience is severely lacking when compared to other description boxes.

Fettuccine gummies from France

Gavottes – a crumbly candy from France

Mango pickle from India – quite spicy

Ajvar – the common red pepper and eggplant spread found throughout the Mediterranean region this one from Turkey

Korma simmer sauce from India

Peri-Peri sauce from The Netherlands. Disappointedly this is a repeat item from just few months ago.
