Yummy Bazaar World Sampler July 2018 Review
Every World Sampler Box also comes with this "Hello, World!" info sheet with information about the products inside, including the price of the full-size version. This month's box includes treats from Germany, Turkey, and Korea.
Lorenz Original Curly Peanut Puffs, 60 g - Retail Value $1.55
Whoa, these puff snacks are addictive! They have the consistency of a thicker corn puff, but they taste like natural peanut butter—there's a thick, salty, yumminess to them. I'd never have imagined peanut flavors in this form, but I dig it!
Sunny Fruit Sample Size Dried Turkish Apricots, 1.76 oz. - Buy a full-size bag for $9.95 (per the info card)
These dried apricots are a healthy alternative to the usual sweet snacks I reach for as a mid-afternoon treat. They're a great combination of bright fruit flavor and rich, yummy, honey-like sweetness.
Lotte Custard Cake, 0.81 oz. - Buy a full-size package of 6 for $6.00 (per the info card)
This little cake has a convenience store snack vibe but in the best way. It's got a light, very delicate vanilla flavor and spongy texture, and the custard center is creamy, milky, and subtly sweet.
Cosomi Cookies by Orion - Buy a full-size package for $6.00 (per the info card)
Wow, these cookies were GOOD! They taste like a toasty, sesame-ish version of a Girl Scouts' shortbread cookie. They're thin, so they're incredibly crisp and delicious. The info card notes how good Orion is at salty-sweet snacks, and I've got to agree!
Choripdong Korean Traditional Cookie - Buy a full-size package for $7.95 (per the info card)
This cookie is more like a small cake, in my opinion. It's increeedibly dense—the flavor/texture reminds me of freshly fried funnel cake bits that are just soaked with oil and sugar. But because of the sesame flavor that permeates this ultra-moist, hefty cookie, the flavor and experience are light and almost delicate. It doesn't feel as weighty going down.
Verdict: I had fun munching through the snacks in this month's Yummy Bazaar World Sampler Box. Sometimes I do feel that the snacks are a bit convenience-store quality, which makes them a little less exciting to eat, but I do like the element of getting to try a food from another country. I loved the cookies this month in particular. The sesame flavors were so different from what I typically expect in a dessert food (so light, elegant, and subtle) that I really felt like I was experiencing something new.
