Tell us what foreign snacks, candy, and drinks you think are the tastiest. Are there any you want to try but haven't yet? Here's a list of my favorites.



Monster Munch
Discovered these chips at the airport in Paris. Love the shape, texture, and different flavors.

Pocky
Tried these on a high school trip to Japan before they became popular in the States. Japan seems to have an endless variety of them.



Japanese Kit Kats
Ordered an excellent variety box from Bokksu.com once.

Ramune bottled soda
Mainly for the novelty of the marble and the loud noise it makes when it's opened.



Prince cookies
Delicious French cookie brand.

Dubai Chocolate
Amazing combo of chocolate, pistachio, and crunchy knafeh. Still haven't tried the original from Dubai.

Coffee flavored caramel candy
A friend brought some back from a mission trip to Mexico once and I couldn't stop eating them.

The Jury's Still Out...

I just tried mango-flavored Pepsi from France. Hated the first sip but it slowly grew on me.

Wishlist

Irn Bru
I hear it's as good as Mountain Dew. Can't confirm yet.



Jollibee
Not a snack, but I still need to try this fast food restuarant from the Philippines. I've read many positive reviews.

Yep, and apparently they like spaghetti with chopped up hot dogs as a side.

I tried a popular Saudi fried chicken fast food joint called Al Baik a couple of times. The fried chicken wasn't bad, but all the sides looked and tasted like public school cafeteria food.

Quote :
"The Chickenjoy is widely considered the best thing on the Jollibee menu, having been named the #1 best fast-food fried chicken in the U.S. by USA TODAY’s 10Best for two consecutive years. It is celebrated for its hand-breaded, "crispy-licious" skin and "juicy-licious" interior, always served with a signature savory gravy"


Customers like the Jolly Spaghetti and Peach Mango Pie too.
