Flipz

Now I’m temporarily living in the US, there will be many entries relating to food on here. The first I dedicate to Flipz:

When I was a young scamp of about fourteen, these chocolate covered pretzel snacks launched in the UK. I remember our school vending machines stocked them and I fell in love. Then they disappeared, never to be seen again in our Island nation.

But wait; I have been reunited with the Flipz and let us never be apart again! The salty pretzel and the sweet chocolate make a union of awesomeness to create a snack so more-ish, I’m surely going to double in weight while I’m living over here.

Peanut Butter M&Ms

You can't get these beauties in the UK, so every time any of my friends or relatives visit the States, they always bring some peanut butter m&ms back for me to enjoy. I recently came home from a holiday in Florida with two large bags of them in my suitcase.

The slightly bitter, peanut buttery goodness is a great contrast with the sweet chocolate and crispy shell and it all combines to create a taste sensation! They are so moreish that once you open a pack, you're hard pressed to be good and limit your intake - i.e. portion control is a problem.

I have no idea why these aren't sold here in the UK, but it makes every trip to the US worthwhile.

Barack Obama

I am not an American. I don't live in the States. I can't vote today. But I really hope that when I wake up tomorrow morning, Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States of America.
