This is one of my finds from Pirate O's a couple of weeks ago. It's described as a banana foam bar. I looove that fake banana flavor (gross, I know! But I like REAL banana flavor, too!), so I HAD to snag this. Although I could never find the country of origin on the label, it did have ingredients listed in English, Asian characters and a couple of European languages.
Weird! I was expecting it to be soft and chewy, like a marshmallow, and while the flavor was reminiscent of a Circus Peanut, the texture was oddly crunchy...and foamy, which I guess is why they call it a banana foam bar. It was almost like a meringue, in fact.
I know this isn't "health" food, per se, but I do think it's absolutely necessary for growth and development of the soul to eat a little junk nasty every now and then (or maybe even once a day). Plus, it was fruit flavored... ;)
Being the experimentarian that I am,Browsing offbeat little food markets is one of my favorite pastimes, and my husband is indulgent enough to come with me every once in a while like he did this evening. We saw a teeny tiny cottage called Pirate O's that specializes in cheese and other gourmet items. they're known for their Roasted Raspberry Chipotle Sauce, which is quite delicious. You never know what you'll find at a place like this, and tonight I found this gem:
Ok, maybe I'm just immature, but I thought it was hilarious. I'm not usually one for potty humor, but c'mon! How can you not laugh at this?! I guess it's some sort of tinned sponge cake. You'll notice, it's also microwaveable...how convenient--and quite the bargain at $5.75!
Hubby joked that I should get some to try for the blog, but I just don't know if I could bring myself to eat it--I'd be laughing too hard :)
I did, however, get several other items for my experiments, which shall be appearing shortly. None quite so comical.
P.S. If you live in Utah, you absolutely must stop at this place--it's a spectacular mecca of strange and international foodstuffs that I guarantee you won't find at the local WalMart!
