why don’t westerners like seafood-flavored snacks? In fact I’d go so far as to say they’re grossed out by it.
Does it taste like smelly pussy?
>>21628371No but it smells like it (all pussies stink like they masturbate with fish sticks)>>21628304love 'em, i accidentally all of the ones at my local store
tastes bad.
>>21628304I like them. Whenever I'm in Hawaii I bring back a bunch.
>>21628304Sure we do.
>>21628304Because they don't taste like fish, they taste (and smell) like spoiled fish. Westerners generally aren't poor enough to have to eat spoiled fish or seafood, so if we smell it, its usually because our fridge died, or some other mishap, or because the smell is coming from a garbage heap. If you show me a cheap snack food that tastes like fresh, well-prepared fish, I'll first in line to try it.
Shrimp chips aren't super common but I see them more and more here travelling around the NY/NJ/CT tristate for work.
>>21628304Prawn crackers are taking off in the US, they're selling them at Walmart and Costco now. I think they're alright, but cheese, spicy or BBQ flavors will always be more popular.
>>21628670>>21628671i prefer the first one, the second one my microwave doesn't do right
>>21628304We don’t but I think that applies to most meats - beef or chicken flavor crackers and chips aren’t popular in the US, I think bacon is the only accepted one
>>21628624This. Ever visit a fishing marina? Seagulls everywhere because there are fish guts rotting all around? That's not a good aroma. That's a foul odor. Asians are culturally obsessed with seafood and they want it at all times in every meal and snack. It's like the USA and sugar. I'll eat sesame seaweed type stuff, but even that's pushing it. I love sushi and fish tacos and fried fish and smoked clams and all of it, but not in crispy snack foods. Not in everything. I'd still barely drink a mountain dew over a crab juice at this point.
>>21629168Chicken is accepted, too
>>21628670These are the bomb.
