Homemade Catsup and Potatoes

I've always wanted to open a pub. Pub food is some of the most wonderfully satisfying taste treats for all of humankind. Indeed I might have to classify this as food porn. Yep, I think so.

Here are the elements.

• Homemade catsup
• Homemade pepper crusted potato home fries.
• Thick cut crispy cooked bacon
• And a chewy Syrah

Pretz

Not too long ago, I hooked up with a friend of a friend, well a friend of a blog friend. I guess the friend has a blog too and he became one of my early followers (love all you early followers!) and anyhoo I heard from my blog friend that the happy Hello Panda crackers were something that he turned her onto, so when I said Hello!, I asked him what his favorite Japanese snacks were.

He said Pretz.

And this is why I went to the Asian store and bought a boatload of snacks.

It turns out that Pretz are not available at this store and really the only place I had ever seen them was at J-List. So a orderin' we shall go. High Ho the merry O. A orderin' we shall go. (Who knew that the O stood for online.)

I also got some Sake drops, Beer drops, and gyoza drops. Gyoza are pork dumpings, and the drops taste just like that, only candified. One word: Awful.

But I love the beer drops and the bacon Pretz. Love bacon!

Snack Happy

I returned to my castle with the goods. My expedition was successful. Hello Kitty sticks, check. Hapi party mix, check. Kiwi gummy fruit, double check. I also bought many things I've never tried before. Oh wait! Everything here I've never tried before. It's all new to me. But you know if the package says, "WANT WANT Rice Crackers," then I got a feeling I'm going to want want them.

Hail Hail The Gang's All Here

A wee snack of melon flowers and cheese and ham. And my friends....

Snack For A Saturday

This is one of those high fiber rye crackers spread with full fat cream cheese - a thin layer mind you - topped with ham fans that are topped with three rectangles of double cream Gouda accompanying two strawberry flowers with one dried apricot, cut in half.
