**A Delicious Journey Around the World**

As I sat down to taste these fascinating candies and snacks, I couldn't help but feel like a kid in a candy store. Sophia, my friend, had shared with me her collection of treats from around the world, and I was eager to dive in.

**Dry Kiwi and Papaya Candy**

We started with a sweet treat - a dry kiwi and papaya candy that looked almost too good to be true. The kiwi and papaya were coated in a layer of sugar and syrup, giving it a gummy texture that was both soft and firm at the same time. I was amazed by its subtlety - you could taste the fruit flavors, but they were so well-balanced that it didn't feel like eating candy. As we held it up to the light, I was struck by its beauty - the translucent skin glowed with an ethereal light, revealing the tiny seeds inside.

**Quavers and Lay's Potato Chips**

Next up was a crunchy snack - Quavers, a brand of potato chips that Sophia had never tried before. We also pulled out some lay's potato chips in various flavors, including feta, which I found to be a unique twist on the classic snack. The feta flavor added a tangy, savory taste that complemented the crispy chip perfectly. On the other hand, the Quavers were delightful little curls of flavor, with a delicate balance of salt and vinegar that left me craving more.

**Candied Peanuts**

Sophia then pulled out some candied peanuts, which reminded her of Boston baked beans - a classic American snack. The caramel coating was smooth and creamy, giving way to a crunchy peanut interior that was both addictive and delicious. I couldn't help but think of the Boston baked beans I had in Massachusetts earlier, and how these peanuts captured their essence.

**Sherbet Cones**

We also tried some sherbet cones from Indonesia, which were like nothing I had ever tasted before. The sherbet itself was tangy and fizzy, with a citrus flavor that was both familiar and exotic. It reminded me of childhood treats like swizzle sticks or pixie sticks, but with a sophisticated twist. As we watched the ice melt in our hands, we couldn't help but feel the joy of childhood - it was a simple pleasure that brought us back to our own youth.

**Dolly Candy**

Finally, Sophia pulled out a special treat - a set of five candies called Dollys, which were given away as children's treats. Each one had its own unique flavor - strawberry, raspberry, cherry, and two other flavors that I couldn't quite identify. The most delicious one was the raspberry, which was intensely sweet and soft, like a cloud in my mouth. As we munched on the candies, I felt like I was experiencing a taste of childhood itself, pure and simple.

**A Sweet Thank You**

As I finished tasting these treats, I couldn't help but feel grateful to Sophia for sharing them with me. Her generosity and enthusiasm had made this experience truly unforgettable - I had tasted new flavors, tried new textures, and experienced the joys of childhood all over again. It was a sweet treat indeed - one that I would cherish forever.

Cypress I'll put the link down below so you can go check that out she sent me this in the great little package it says aphrodites secret and inside is this it is a fig cake scita and it's a very oldfashioned treat sold at Fairgrounds and you can see the little bits of fig and looks like fig seeds in there as well it's the doy BOS m it's not what I expected I thought it would be entirely fig but it's not it's figged and it has a slight flavor has a little bit of acidity so I was just thinking that it' be chopped up figs and sweetened but it has a complexity to it wow very interesting flavors I love the texture you have the nice fun crunch of the Fig seeds and the raisin like texture of the figs themselves and then there's some other flavors in there tastes a little bit like fennel so I don't know but it's good I like it very surprising okay let's cleanse the palette Serano and it has a little map of Cyprus on there it's commonly served alongside of beer and inside quite a selection of different things here's a little stick cute and looks like giant pumpkin seeds they're like little paprika like coated peanuts oh there's even like a corn nut in there ooh very light and crunchy they remind me of when I ate Persia or Iran I got a lot of seeds as well there's the pumpkin seeds let's give it a taste M nice and salty and light this looks like a cornut let's give that a taste and it tastes exactly like a corut I love those not at all greasy M that was a garbonzo bean much harder crunch but delightful I really like this blend because it's not overly salty and the crunch is really light and not at all oily love it this is called shushka and it looks incredible looks a bit like a Tamarind but it's round in diameter and the reason why it's shaped like this is because there are almonds inside they're almonds on a string that are dipped into a grape jelly repeatedly like a candle like if your hand dipping a candle or a taper and then it collects on the outside of the almonds and you get this very interesting shape how how cool is that so when you look in the inside all of them there's almonds inside I love that so I'm going to give it a little slice so cut myself a little disc wow I don't really taste any grape per se but the texture is delightful kind of a rubbery chewy texture and then you've got the Almond flavor in inside it's not what I expected at all it isn't fruity at all it tastes more like kind of brown sugar very simple kind of dessert I like that it's not very sweet this is called snacker Jacks the one she sent me with sweet chili puffy puffed rice kind of text almost brainy text surface M those are good it's a bit like kind of those rice puffed rice snacks but not as um not as toasted flavor the seasoning is delicious

slender grassel container of zna which is the national drink of Cyprus this is an alcoholic beverage it's an apertif and Sophia says it's very very very strong wrong so she said just taste a tiny tiny

go come by wow yeah that is really strong it is very strong like when you EX ale you feel like you're kind of exhaling cool fumes but it's actually not bad for a really strong High proof lour it's not bad it doesn't have that much of a flavor it may be similar to vodka or something like that this is called halva I tried an Israeli version of halva that was made with sesame seeds and I also got another version from Oman but I didn't try that one because I wasn't sure if it was spoiled or not so I didn't eat that one which is quite different but this one looks more like the Israeli version makes sense for Cypress cuz the Middle East is just east of Cypress this one has cherries okay here's a little piece of it m that is good similar and different to the one that I tried in Israel similar kind of Sesame roasted sesame flavor and crumbly texture this one's a little less sweet and has little bits of Cherry in it which is delicious what I do like of very much about it is it has a really lovely roasted flavor and it's not overly sweet s it's a dessert that just tastes very kind of sweetly satisfying but not choly so Cheetos suetos we have Cheetos here in the States but NE I've never seen something called suetos ah it comes with a little prize inside how cool I got heart with wings I've got I also got a skull with some barb wire and this is what it looks like it's a little triangle m those are good they remind me a lot like of these snacks that I had in the Philippines I believe they're called Cloud9 is that what they were called I'm not sure Filipino friends will forgive me otherwise but it has a really crunchy kind of corn chocolate cocoa flavor on the outside a lot like a cereal like Cocoa Puffs and then inside M has a really nice chocolate dark chocolate

that you often find in Greek food let's see if it tastes like taziki boy those are good I don't think it tastes like tsiki to me this tastes like sour cream and onion chips with a nice little punch of garlic which is delicious Sophia also sent me a selection of dried fruits which you said that are really popular at fairs and markets so she picked these out just for me includes dates these are beautiful like big kind of mawel looking dates some dry kiwi to dry papaya beautiful green kiwi and give that a taste here we go M that's amazing very very sweet but they've add so much sugar and syrup in there it has the texture of a gumdrop it's amazing and subtle fruit flavor and when you put it in the light it's beautiful it's translucent and the light passes through it and you can see the beautiful seeds gorgeous let's try the papaya that's what it looks like beautiful kind of red orange color to give that a taste M that one you can taste really the papaya flavor this one the Kiwi has a really soft gummy kind of texture this is a little bit harder and drier it's like the original candy I think you know you take fruit and then you preserve it with sugar delicious and so beautiful love it I love these videos they're so much fun okay let's try something salty look at this another lays brand but I've never heard of it it's called Quavers have you ever had Quavers Sophia also says comes in a ton of different flavors as well including some strange flavors like prawn cocktail a little bit prawny and kind of vinegar but look how delightful they are they're like little curls look at that m it does taste a bit like cocktail sauce it has kind of that ketchupy flavor a little bit salt and vinegar but sweeter comparon to some of the prawn chips that I had in Malaysia or Japan this is really subtle I hardly taste any any kind of prawn or shrimp flavor at all mostly I just taste this cocktail sauce flavor yeah I think I like the lace chip better this is okay so these are candied peanuts they're called Mano peanuts really big peanuts coated with a caramel like coating h m they actually remind me a lot of Boston baked beans and M chusetts my em eats Massachusetts video I ate Boston baked beans the coating is a little bit different of course the Boston baked beans are a lot smoother and of course a different color but the flavor is the same kind of a caramel sweet very crunchy hard exterior with a beautiful roasted peanut in the middle it's really good I think these would be highly addictive this one got a little bit squash this is another lay chip and this time it's feta flavor that's amazing so feta is a type of Greek cheese it usually comes uh in a block and it's quite Briny and salty and tangy and crumbly in texture same C leay potato chip let's give it a taste here we go M it's like sour cream and onion chips without the onion which is very curious I wouldn't say it's necessarily reminds me of feta if someone were to give me a blind test I wouldn't immediately call out feta cheese but not bad not bad I think in the end I probably just prefer to take a plain lazed potato chip I feel like the feta flavor doesn't really add that much to it it got broken along the way so I'll try to balance it and show you look at that how adorable it reminds me of the cone that I had in Indonesia very similar a little bit smaller in size has a little bit of foil on the top wow it's like sherbet on top in the UK it's called sherbet which is like a flavored sugar sopia warned me just to taste a little bit cuz it's very intense here we go M that's actually really fun it is just like shet it's very Tangy and kind of fizzy it's delightful it doesn't really have a specific flavor maybe kind of like a citrus it reminds me of swizzle sticks or pixie sticks M
