Snack #212- Eldorado Chilinøtter Innbakte Peanøtter (Chili flavored coated peanuts)

Eldorado Chilinøtter Innbakte Peanøtter (Chili flavored coated peanuts)

While traveling to Norway for a friend’s wedding we stumbled upon this unique spicy snack which is basically a whole peanut surrounded by a crispy, savory coating and dusted with paprika.  In form they are similar to the Asian peanuts tried in Costa Rica but in flavor they are the standard European paprika seasoning which tastes like pepper but is not spicy.  The peanut center is tasty and the coating adds a well-seasoned paprika taste so they are an enjoyable snack but not spicy at all.

Rating on the Spice-O-Meter: 1/10

Bottom Line: Paprika coated crunchy peanuts.

Snack #211- Perri Hot Lips Nice ‘N’ Spicy Flavour

Perri Hot Lips Nice ‘N’ Spicy Flavour

These baked corn puffs were brought to us by a Hot Chick associate who traveled to Ireland.  They are low-calorie and baked instead of fried but the positives pretty much end there.  They are packing peanut consistency and melt in your mouth with no crispiness.  The flavor is extremely mild and there is only the barest hint of tomato and paprika seasonings.  The corn flavor is also dull so this snack basically takes like nothing.  We always enjoy trying international spicy snacks but this one certainly fell flat!

Bottom Line: Lip-shaped packing peanuts.

Snack #196- Lorenz Crunchips Paprika Potato Chips

Lorenz Crunchips Paprika Potato Chips

This is the first snack I found while I was traveling in Mongolia.  These chips have a faint hint of barbeque and little bit of sweetness but no heat.  The flavor itself is not very good and they taste stale but that could be due to being imported from Europe to Mongolia.  They taste fairly nutty because they were probably fried in peanut oil and they are crispy like a standard potato chip. 

Rating on the Spice-O-Meter: 0/10

Bottom Line: Mildly BBQ but not very good.
