Curious food items you've seen, but have no interest in buying or trying

I see a lot of foods / food products for sale that catch my eye, but often not in a good way.

Since the existing thread about food items peeps discovered & actually bought doesn’t seem like a good place to park such items, I thought I’d create a home for them here.

I’ll start:

Here are some desiccated, sliced strawberries at one of our favorite German supermarket chains. Perhaps even more jarring given we’re smack-dab in the middle of the German strawberry season, with the sweetest strawberries I’ve had.

Chocolate with salt licorice. That’s a hard no.

Chocolate with “cheesecake” filling. Ditto.

I’d try the cheesecake chocolates, but not the other 2. Are those strawberries a snack item, or are they used for other applications like baking or other cooking related uses?

Beats me. Maybe as an addition to granola or cornflakes, or… GRAPENUTS? :wink:

I honestly don’t know. I don’t understand the point of dehydrated fruit, but evidently they serve a purpose :woman_shrugging:t2:

POCKY is a popular chocolate covered biscuit snack amongst kids.

Blue tins are WHISKEY flavored. Red tins are WINE flavored. Start ‘em off young. :slight_smile:

Don’t knock it 'til you try it. I’m not a licorice fan, in general, but I got quite hooked on these after the initial “hmm, I’m not sure whether I like this or not”.

I’ve had it. My mom was a huge fan of salmiakki, so I occasionally would try them to see if maybe I’d like them — nope, not my cuppa. Even if you covered it in pistachio paste and chocolate :smile:
