Snack is just a funny word






As I sit here eating these tasty Rainbow Iso Peanuts, it occurs to me that the Chinese like to take peanuts and wrap them in other stuff to make new peanut snacks. I admire that. Love me some peanuts.

It also occurs to me that these Rainbow Iso Peanuts are well-traveled, having been manufactured in China, distributed to Hawaii, and then sent by my parents to me in the Ville.

And now it occurs to me that they may be poison. Aw, shit.

Ummmm...just how close ARE you to your parents?

Then again, what's a bit of melamine and lead between loved ones?

I think you have just crated your own new peanut snack. Peanuts dipped in paranoia. ;)

Mmmmmmmm covered peanuts. My particular favourites are the puffy shells that taste like prawn.

Those colourful ones look like they'd stain your fingers AND your tongue AND whatever else they come into contact with!!

Definite likeness to colours used by Mattel ;)

Jonas, maybe not as close as I imagined.

Nish, they are out to get me and they know my weakness is peanuts!!!

Sidog, you mean the chocolate ones??? Mmmmmmm.

Matt, laugh with me, not at me, and it's all good. :)

Fiona, hold the phone .. are you saying that there are shrimp chip-covered peanuts? Because I have to have them. I just ate a bag of shrimp chips from one of the little Asian markets on the South side here (the only place I can find them in town). Love the way they crackle on my tongue. LOVE them. And love wasabi peanuts, etc. But shrimp chips and peanuts??? I am so distracted now.

Email me an address and I'll send you a bag or two of local goodies;) ooooh yes I love the way those shrimp chips sort of dissolve onto the tongue and stick there LOL you do that too??!!!! Have you tried the lobster chips? And the shrimp crisp sticks?? Lord you'd be in seventh heaven here *L*
