'Tis the season of the llama-shaped snack!
I was worried these would be like dog biscuits. Great big crunchy dog biscuits. But obviously I had to
try a packet. Instead I find they are rather tasty little llama-shaped snacks. Yum. It's true, the smell is a little bit dog biscuit, but the taste is anything but. A mix of digestive biscuit (thinner but crunchier) with a hot chilli taste and a lot of sweetness. Each llama is very tiny and it's very easy to have another. And another. I'm quite surprised how much I like them. In the interests of scientific reporting I should say that Terry didn't seem to be mad keen. But I like them a lot.
Lucky thing I went to Tesco eh? I might be tempted to eat the whole packet....
From the smart red gussetted packaging:
- No llamas were harmed in the making of these snacks.
- One mammal's mission to rid the world of boring snacks.
- What is it with you British and your boring snacks? (asks the llama) Where I come from our nibbles have some kahunas! Big flavours, big crunch, big attitude.
- So hasta la vista 'ready salted', adios 'dry roasted', my delicious sweet chilli flavour baked bites are ready to rumble.
- Now that's what I'm talking about!
- Whole wheat oven-baked snack crackers so good I modelled them on me.
- Chomp-on, oh people of good taste.
- Get busy with the chilli!
Yes, OK, perhaps a little overkill on the cute llama-ness but never mind. I can cope and if you try these I expect you will too. However, these llamas are actually made in Canada for a British company based in Salford. Take a look at the website; the llama even writes a ridiculous blog. It's very silly. Read it here
