Fun with Food. Numero 2
Fishskin Goobers by Treasure Flavour Food Co. Ltd.
I came across these bite sized morsels just recently and their cute and clever packaging caught my eye. It looks like Mr and Mrs Fishskin Goober were planning an outing to the beach, by just looking at their sunglasses and hats. Now, if I could read what Mr Goober was saying, I’d imagine he was just telling everyone to eat his many Fishskin Goober children. (Perhaps an amorous fish and a drunken peanut hooked up?)
I don’t know if this was an outdated package, but these things were so darn crunchy, I was afraid that I was going to break some teeth. It was like bitting down on rocks, with about as much flavor as a rock (that wasn’t covered in mud). Perhaps I’m missing some international taste buds and I need more practice eating rocks.
Ingredients: peanut (possibly one that is broken into many?), amylum (a starch), granulated sugar (it must have been burnt), refined salt (in limited quantity). It forgot to mention: pressed peanut sweepings and fishskin.
The manufacturer website is printed as: http://www.z-q-w.com but that site seems to have gone the way of the Dodo. So it seems Mr and Mrs Goober have the last (toothless) laugh.
