Based on an amazing post here
that showed what Taki is, it made me realise that thanks to language not only how something is said, that foods have different names as well. WHO KNEW!?!?
Sausages, crisps and flapjacks aside, what other ones are different where you’re from compared to where everyone else is from? And if you asked for something in one country what would you get in another.
i think a single bag of takis would rid a british person of their accent
Okay well now I want to try them! But I’m not sure I’d lose my accent, in the interest of science am prepared to try!
they also have blue ones, which i’m pretty sure contain at least 1 chemical banned by the EU (not sure if that still applies since you’re visiting home)
Yeah the UK regulations changed a lot post Brexit. I’m heading home tomorrow but if I find a bag of either I’ll try them!
Just don’t get your hopes up. I tried Takis for the first time a few months back and with no exaggeration it might be the worst snack-chip thing I’ve eaten.
Thanks for the warning - as my bar is set high with
May have to move these posts to a specific scoffing down a pizzer - snack edition topic!
forum needs a dislike button
No, Takis need a dislike button.
Forgot to mention when I was in England, couldn’t find those. However…
Price has been masked because I think I was ripped off, but I want to see if I can lose my accent!
I’m in the UK and pretty much every independent newsagent, sweet shop, min-imarket sells Takis. Particularly in cities.
What are these called elsewhere?
I didn’t see them anywhere and was in London hoping to and nothing!
Takis are all over the place here in Canada! As a snack enthusiast and former USian I’ve always been curious about them but they are not vegan so I’ve never tried them!
Super curious about the pickled onion flavour snack though!
The appeal of Takis is premised on their being cheap
Madness! Literally every mini-market I go to in London, Liverpool, has them. Not Sainsbury’s or Tesco or Asda, perhaps (I never go in them), but the independent corner shops owned and run by immigrants that form the core of our beautiful society.
Tom…were you even in England?
Good news, somehow you can Pickled Onion Monster Munch in Canada!!
They’re not cheap but then again, neither were the Takis I ordered!
To be fair, when we were in London it was for one day and dragging the boys around didn’t give me ample time to look as hard as I’d liked. I do miss those shops though, being able to buy random things like odd sweets. Where we were staying didn’t have much as it was out in the country so choices were slim.
I’m not sure anymore. I have memories of chip butties, Mr. Freeze ice pops and queuing way too much. But all those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
Yeah I remember rain. I was there!
Tom word of warning: the blue takis will stain any exposed skin that comes into contact with them. And I’m sure you already anticipate this but don’t give them to your kids. Cigarettes might be healthier
Thanks for the warning on that. I had concerns about the blue colouring and luckily have sterile gloves so will pull them out.
Wasn’t even going to tell my boys about them. I mean they have cigarettes already, they are French, but these look dangerous.
