<p>
|
||||
I don’t eat (or really like) much candy.
|
||||
Unless you count dark chocolate, which feels like its own category to me.
|
||||
</p><p>
|
||||
It’s not that I don’t like sweet things.
|
||||
I love ice cream and cookies and cake as much as anyone.
|
||||
But when it comes to the kind of stuff you’d see in the “impulse buy” section of an American store, it has little appeal to me.
|
||||
</p><p>
|
||||
We have a great Asian market in town that imports a lot of cool international food products.
|
||||
It’s super fun to walk around in because all the unfamiliar foods and packages make it feel like you’ve stepped into another country.
|
||||
I like to try out new things that strike my interest as I walk through, because I never know when I’ll find something new I love.
|
||||

<figcaption>As I mention below, it’s not exactly a candy, but mochi is a very photogenic treat.</figcaption>
|
||||
</figure>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Ironically enough, a lot of what I end up buying there is actually candy and sweets.
|
||||
As opposed to all the American candy, which I already know the taste and quality of, every Asian candy I try represents a new possibility.
|
||||
And when do I find something I really like, candy is great for sharing small portions with other people.
|
||||
</p><p>
|
||||
One of my favorite treats I’ve gotten at the market is mochi, which is a sweet food but not really a candy, I think.
|
||||
The ones I get come with peanut, sesame, and red bean fillings, which are all great.
|
||||
I’ve also gotten some good Indian peanut brittle called chikki and these chewy ginger candies.
|
||||
</p><p>
|
||||
Recently, a friend of my dad’s gave me a little bar of a Mexican candy made of salty & spicy tamarind pulp.
|
||||
He had happened upon it recently, and he said it reminded him of how they would prepare tamarind in Thailand (he is Thai), with salt & hot peppers.
|
||||
</p><p>
|
||||
I had had dried tamarind on its own before, but I didn’t like it that much.
|
||||
But this bar was unlike anything else I had tasted.
|
||||
Tamarind flavor really works better in this combination, and the bar kind of gets more tasty as you eat it.
|
||||
</p><p>
|
||||
The Asian market in town also carries this candy, so I went there and got myself a box.
|
||||
I actually got two boxes, so I have enough to hand them out to people I meet.
|
||||
I think it would be fun, and I want to see what other people think of the flavor.
|
||||
</p><p>
|
||||
I’m not going to mention the brand name of any of these foods, but they should all be fairly easy to find at the right store.
|
||||
I’ll let you know the names by email upon request if you’re interested.

||||
