Favorite Foreign Candy

[sho'nuff]

nobody mentioned U-NO?

that was one weird over-the-counter candy bar. but i was always drawn to its metallic wrapper, weird texture, and strange candy that was never advertised in any way or form.

Addictive like crack. Cannot stop eating until the bag is gone, and even then I'm tempted to lick the bag.

Also, I have a friend from Russia who gave me some chocolates that had squirrels on the wrappers. Those were great, but I don't remember what they were called, and I believe all of the text was in cyrillic...

I went to an Asian grocer and picked up some of these because of this post. I also searched desperately for a can of soursop, but to no avail. Soursop, if not privy to its glory, is straight up ambrosia -- the nectar of the gods.

Oreos.

I really like those foreign cream-filled delights. Pity I cannot have them most of the time.
