After listening to the comments of others I decided that they weren't for me, and on a weekend where snacks and junk food are consumed in large quantities they went mostly untouched.

The brand you showed is pretty mediocre. Now, mind you, I was introduced to Kroepoek in the Netherlands, where it's very popular. The fresher they are, the better; they go stale within a couple of days (they sell "fresh" kroepoek in an Oriental supermarket near me, but it's usually made with bad oil. Other than going to Indonesia or the Netherlands, the only way to see how good they really are is to buy them uncooked, and deep fat fry them yourself.

Boiled peanuts. I love peanuts, but boiled nuts are like tasteless mush. They are nasty and I don't understand how anyone can eat them.

Boiled eggs. They smell like farts and are not that much better. I do like eggs a lot, but like peanuts above, it's all about preperation.

Peppermint/chocolate candy (like Peppermint Patty's). Love peppermint candy. Love chocolate. Together it's not palatable to me.

Any candy with coconut in it. Coconut tastes like fruity wood shavings.

I thought you lived in China. Chinese loved boiled peanuts. My China born wife is always wanting to stop and buy boiled peanuts whenever we are in the south. All egg dishes stink, hate them all. Love peppermint, chocolate and them together. Agree completely on coconut.

I tried bacon flavored peanuts the other day and they were the worst thing I ever put into my mouth. The flavor of bacon was ok but it didn't mix well with the peanut flavor. After a few minutes it tasted like chemicals and dried out my mouth. I couldn't drink enough beer to get the taste out of my mouth!!!

Just sayin'

The Asians have the lock on this category. Sure, my local Asian supermarkets have plenty of good snacks to offer, but for every delicious Gentlemen's Pocky or Kasugai Peanut and You out there there's a Sakura Shrimp-Flavored Chip or Orchid Hot Prepared Cuttlefish to challenge this Westerner's taste buds.

And by "challenge" I mean totally gross out.

I encountered these for the first time last weekend:

I really like the shrimp flavored chips.

Some of my coworkers snack on that shing shang stuff through out the day. We politely decline their offers to share...

Y'know, I still have a package of Peeps that we forgot to eat, from this past Easter. We will now have a Peeps microwave tournament as entertainment for our next barbecue. Since I have one of those new Advantium ovens I will need to find the proper setting so the Peeps don't get blown to h***. Thanks!

Roasted peeps on a stick. The best

RE: Your list of nasty snack food (angielynnscott)

I find this the best! Take a peep and put it on a stick or something and roast it over your gas stove or camp fire.

Have you ever had a Peep duel? This is what I've been told: put two Peeps in the microwave, facing each other, each with a toothpick poked into his little Peep side and protruding toward his opponent. Then press reheat and may the best Peep win!

Vienna sausages. Eating them straight out of the can is nasty enough, but the only way I've seen them used - can't imagine using them in a recipe or as party snacks.

The guy I work with eats a can of them a night. THEN he drinks the brine. First time I saw this I almost threw up.

I've never even tried mac and cheese. The very concept is a turn-off, for some reason.

But I love most other forms of pasta.

They're probably not all that bad, compared with some of the other junk my kids eat. Cheetos, for instance...

I'm not sure if this is nasty I will eat or so nasty I'll take a beating before I will. I will go with eating (and slurping) pickeled pigs feet and saltines. I get it up to my elbows. I love 'em with beer cheese and hot mustard. I will NOT put in my mouth (or enter a room with) Blind Robin on a bet, dare or threat of pain. If your not familiar with this "treat" it's a small whole fish (herring or sardines, it's hard to tell, call your local CSI) that has been salted and sun (probably on a dashboard) dried. Yeah right! I take that to mean it was bait that went bad and even catfish won't bite. Then someone forgot to pack it up. On returning to the 'ol fishin' hole, someone thought hey, wonder what this tastes like. Mmmmmmm yum rotten salty chewy fish, my favorite. I know, I'll put this in a little plastic wrapper, staple it on a piece of cardboard, put it in cheap beer joints and make a fortune! This ain't the stuff that's considered a delicacy at Club Med. This had to be a bad joke that got out of hand. I know guy's that will put it their pockets like jerky(that's really what it is, really bad fish jerky). Oh yes it is a joy to sit in a hot truck on a long drive with a man with a pocket full of decayed fish. Usually the same guy who thinks eating a pigs foot with a cracker is gross. Though I totally understand complaints about the cheese!
