    Whoa! I’m impressed you guys managed to get through that many bars! I’ve had a few of these when I went to the UK a few years ago, and there are definitely some good ones in that bunch you tried! That was so nice of you Vasyear to send all of those!

      I know the video was a bit long, but we decided to just do them all at once rather than break it up again ;)

    Most of these you can get here in Australia. With the flakes they’re usually either stuck in ice cream cone or crushed and put on as a topper on cakes (at least in my experience). Picnics are awesome. Violet crumble is the Aussie version of a crunchie, they’re actually made in my state (South Australia). We actually have a lot of great confectionery made here.

    • @CriticalEatsJapan
      @CriticalEatsJapan  Před 8 měsíci +1

      Violet Crumble, yes! I hope they do factory tours there ;)

    You're correct about the Turkish, Paul. They are small but quite intense, I love them but they cost a lot here in Africa.

    • @CriticalEatsJapan

      I'm not super crazy about the rosewater thing, but I would give it another chance because it was so interesting.

  • @bonzolvr
    @bonzolvr Před 8 měsíci +3

    I’ve had most of these. All are pretty good. I found ume potato chips at our Japanese grocery the other day. I like them but I also love salt & vinegar chips.
    Oh, and I believe Daim is pronounced like the American currency “dime”

    • @CriticalEatsJapan
      @CriticalEatsJapan  Před 8 měsíci +1

      Nice! Ume chips are really good! Usually they release them as a summer flavour here. Doesn't work so well as a soda though... ;)

  • @lukewbez
    @lukewbez Před 8 měsíci +1

    Picnic is my favourite! 😅 I haven’t seen flakes in the shops as much anymore, but you can definitely still get a 99! The ume soda looked good too!

  • @charlottetooth1457
    @charlottetooth1457 Před 8 měsíci +1

    With the flakes, one of the most popular ways to eat them is stuck in a cone of soft-serve ice cream. It is called a 99. Ususally sold by icecream vans.

  • @leadarko7567
    @leadarko7567 Před 8 měsíci +1

    An interesting assortment of chocolate bars. I've only ever had Flake and Snickers. I would like to try Picnic and Lion...maybe the one that tasted like rose water too. The texture sounded different.

    • @CriticalEatsJapan
      @CriticalEatsJapan  Před 8 měsíci +1

      The Picnic and Lion were both really good! Definitely give them a shot if you get the chance👍

    A Flake in England is a memorable experience. English chocolate is the BEST💗

  • @helenrobinson8894
    @helenrobinson8894 Před 8 měsíci +1

    So being here in Eng i've obviously had all of these. Didn't surprise me that Picnic was popular with you all as nutty bars are so popular in the US. Flake is actually my fave and what i would go for here. It was always marketed as very indulgent thw way it crumbles and melts in the tongue, but you are right commonly served in ice cream cones which are then called a 99

  • @XENONPLASMA
    @XENONPLASMA Před 8 měsíci +1

    When the chocolate separates like it did with the snickers, it's called a "bloom" the color and taste will change but it's not harmful or anything like that.

    • @CriticalEatsJapan
      @CriticalEatsJapan  Před 8 měsíci +1

      Yeah, thanks ---these had a rough trip here and arrived during some much hotter weather.

    The Daim (used to be Dajm) is usually pronounced "dime", obviously not as funny though.
    It's Swedish and the center part seems to be inspired by traditional Swedish christmas candy.
    Very unlikely to be the oldest on the table but it's been around for many years now.

    • @CriticalEatsJapan
      @CriticalEatsJapan  Před 8 měsíci +1

      Yeah, not as fun. But it was tasty ---and interesting. The Skor bar we were comparing it to kinda sounds like it may have been Sweden influenced too...👍

    It's a pleasure to help and I'd love to be able to send different lemonades (sodas) to see if they are different from what you had but i doubt I can send them but perhaps some hot sauces

    • @CriticalEatsJapan
      @CriticalEatsJapan  Před 8 měsíci

      Thanks, but you've sent plenty already. And I still do have some hot sauces that you sent ---I'll need to try them as soon as Aaron is ready enough for a hot sauce video again... ;)
