I actually double checked the price on this one a few times (once when I opened the box and again when I was getting ready to write the review) to make sure that it was right. I was amazed at how much they packed into the box!
The October 2015 Yummy Bazaar “Sampler” included the following items:
~French Galettes Cookies by Traou Mad (France): These butter cookies are amazing. They kind of remind me of the Mrs Thirsters cookies I get at Costco. Very good.
~Chestnut Spread Puree de Marrons by Clement Faugier (France): I have had this before and I just don’t know. I don’t think chestnut spread is for me. They recommend it on toast, ice-cream, pastries, etc. Maybe it’s an acquired taste?
~Paella Seasoning with Real Saffron by Paellero (Spain): I have been looking for some fun new crockpot ideas and I think I am going to use this for some sort of Paella crockpot dish.
~Mini Hojaldres Puff Pastries by 1880 (Spain): These are flakey puff pastries. The outside almost looks like a powdered donut, but the inside is flakey and has an orange flavor to it. I thouught they were pretty good.
~Truffle Ketchup by Urbani (Italy): I wish I liked fancy ketchup, but the reality is that I just like plain old boring ketchup. It’s not bad, it’s just different. Although, I would put this on a burger. I thin that would be good.
~Chocolate Bonbons with White Truffles by Urbani: I can find absolutely nothing wrong with these. They are just delicious truffles. They are rich white chocolate and taste amazing.
~Original Rice Crackers by Kamesa (Japan): These are kind of blah, but they are rice crackers so I expect that. They aren’t really good or really bad. They are just there.
~Original Milk Tea by 3:15 (Taiwan): I am going to give this tea to my cousin, but I have to admit, I love this name. 3-5pm is when I start dragging. I can totally see how a caffeine pick-me-up at that time would be fabulous.
I didn’t do a cost breakdown on this box, but I think it’s well worth the $9.95 cost. I actually can’t believe it’s so inexpensive!
