adventurous eaters rejoice we’re gonna
get a little weird with this one welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
strange snack food flavors from around
the world I like to drink my yogurt it’s
a time-saver
before we begin we publish new videos
every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re ranking
snack food flavors from across the globe
that may seem strange to the average
North American palate we won’t be
including more complex international
dishes but rather focusing on flavor
profiles that exist off the beaten
culinary path number 10 cajun squirrel
potato crisps we begin our brave
culinary adventure across the pond where
the British have made bold strides in
their creative crisped game case in
point the Cajun squirrel flavor of
walker’s brand potato crisps which were
one of six flavors included in the
company’s take on the Lay’s do us a
flavor campaign although the response to
many of the flavors was intensely
negative the Cajun squirrel variety
actually had a few fans who praised the
curiously named flavor as a mixture of
herbs barbecue and smoked meat notes now
they could only find something else to
call it
number nine sausage and beer Doritos on
the surface this flavor profile actually
sounds pretty appealing just think of
grilling up some hot italian sausages
and washing them down with an ice-cold
beer sounds pretty good right well maybe
that’s why Japan decided to introduce
these sausage and beer flavored Doritos
as part of their gourmet lineup and as
their reputation has spread even snack
food junkies here in the West have grown
intrigued about how they might taste if
the end results deliver a flavor that’s
even half as appealing as the image on
the bag then sign us up number eight
wasabi ice cream daring gourmet ice
cream flavors are all the rage whether
you want to Instagram a pic of your
activated charcoal cone or you want to
replace your avocado toast with avocado
ice cream you have options but what if
what you want isn’t a cool refreshing
treat but a hot and spicy dessert
that’ll hit you right in the sinuses
that’s where wasabi ice cream comes in
yeah
do this back in Japan what’s sabe you’re
probably most familiar with wasabi as
that paste beside your sushi but
Japanese horseradish is a taste beloved
by so many it’s made its way to the
dessert course as well and not just in
Asia but in adventurous ice-cream
parlors across the globe
number seven dry pork and seaweed donuts
if you’ve ever desired a serious sense
of savory with your donut dish then
maybe it’s time to book a trip to Asia
where a plethora of peculiar donut
flavor options are available yep even at
Dunkin Donuts
believe it or not Dunkin franchises in
China for example have gone the extra
mile for their customers combining a
classic glazed doughnut with the less
classic combo of dried pork floss and
seaweed we have to assume these pack a
pungent punch to the palate but having
never tried it ourselves we can’t be
sure maybe some brave souls in the
comment section can enlighten us number
six
Vegemite Cadbury Dairy Milk the pungent
powerful taste of Vegemite a yeast
extract product that happens to be
Australia’s most beloved breakfast food
is an acquired one at best
still this didn’t stop England’s Cadbury
chocolate brand from preparing a bar
incorporating Vegemite for the
Australian market in 2015 reactions were
mixed with some reviewers praising the
balance of sweet and salty flavors while
others reviled what they perceived as an
old yeasty aftertaste however in today’s
climate of new and adventurous snack
food flavors maybe there’s a place for
Vegemite Cadbury Dairy Milk after all
number 5
lemon and pepper Tang the powdered mix
drink known as Tang first tapped into
the public consciousness during the
1960s when NASA brought it on a number
of their space missions since then the
sugary and sweet beverage has remained
relatively low-key on taste radars until
now thanks to the innovative pairing of
lemon and pepper in Tang there’s now a
much more savoury take on what was
previously relentlessly saccharin
available in the Middle East at least
although regular Tang certainly has its
fans and defend
the idea of a tang that’s not just
incredibly sweet kinda has us intrigued
number four garlic chocolate the world
of chocolate is one with a seemingly
unlimited amount of flavor combinations
from the sweet and salty to the hot and
fiery the origin of garlic chocolate
though is fairly fascinating apparently
during World War two Britain’s Special
Operations Executive organization
developed the candy as a way to either
embarrass Nazi dignitaries by giving
them bad breath or for SOE agents to
blend in with the crowds after they
parachuted into Spain whether or not
garlic chocolates served either of these
functions well is unclear but today the
flavor of a garlic clove in robed in
chocolate is a novel snack food you can
try in countries like Japan number three
Mountain Dew Cheetos the next strange
snack food flavor on our list may be one
of the most familiar with a number of
youtube food reviewers daring to take
the mountain Dew Cheetos challenge this
limited-edition flavor first hit
Japanese store shelves back in 2014
mixing together a crisp Cheetos crunch
with the taste of that carbonated
lemon-lime drink we all know and love
although the Doritos brand released
something similar in the US with their
mystery flavor quest back in 2008 these
miracles of soda pop science are a
japan-only proposition unless of course
you import a couple of bags online
number two fish and chips gelato the
idea of mixing Friday night fish and
chips with Italy’s favorite creamy
dessert seems like the textbook
definition of trying to fit a square peg
into a round hole naturally this didn’t
stop Australia from rejecting the
natural order of things in 2011 when the
flavor was introduced at Kylie’s fish
market cafe in Fremantle surprisingly
reviews were fairly positive for the
flavor with responses praising the salty
sweet dynamic as well as the crunchy
batter bits included for texture the
best thing of all however no fishy
aftertaste number one grilled corn
KitKat there are a bevy of unique KitKat
creations to be found in Japan from
potato to pancake but one of the biggest
head scratchers has to be the grilled
corn variety the Japanese trans
of KitKat is similar to a phrase that
denotes good luck thus explaining the
dizzying array of flavor combinations
that seem to emerge every couple of
months the grilled corn KitKat was a
limited-edition item that attempted to
combine the buttery salty taste of
grilled corn on the cob with the candies
classic wafer crunch the catch it’s
covered in a yellow tinted white
chocolate which could make or break the
bar our advice just try one for yourself
do you agree with our picks check out
