Here we have another of those strange little flower-shaped (or perhaps snowflake-shaped) crispy snacks from Israel. I think it's a great shape for a crispy snack; light crispy crunchy little pillows - they're very nice. And a good base for a flavour.
So why have I never seen this shape in a snack not intended for the kosher market? I have no idea and I think it's a bit odd. Still, perhaps there is a crispy developer planning a British version of this snack even as I type.
Another weird thing is that the only other flower or snowflake snacks I have tried were made by Beigel & Beigel. And guess who owns Gesher? Beigel & Beigel. So they market two different kinds of exactly the same snack. The Snow Flakes look as though they may be aimed at children, the Beigel & Beigel version has a more upmarket style of packaging and larger packets.
This is sold as a BBQ flavor snack. Which it isn't. The taste is more cheap tomato ketchup. Which is a shame. Because the crispiness is just fine.

A bbq snowflake? haha. Now that's different. I thought they were leaves at first! Maybe white cheddar would be a good flavor for a snowflake shape!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever tried white cheddar but it seems appropriate. We have more flavours of snowflake in the basket.
DeleteI have not come across foods claiming to be "cholesterol free" before. I seem to recall the GLW and the Lad going on about there being good and bad cholesterol - I wonder if these stars are free of both?
ReplyDeleteIt's an Israeli product so probably quite a lot of these little packets end off in the USA where food often seems to contain no ingredients of any kind.
