Novelty Snacks of Baku

I kind of love these cookies.

One of the joys of travel is seeking out new foods. Being a grazer by nature, I am particularly drawn to the novely snack. Baku turned out to be a snacker’s delight.

Tastes Like: Every good thing that’s ever happened to you having a party in your mouth on the first sunny day of spring
Verdict: Thumbs up! Can’t lie… I’m a little obessessed with these cookies. I mean, I dreamed about laying on the floor at the hypermarket surrounded by their little red and white packages. I hoarded as much as I could in my suitcase and have been rationing them since I returned home. Frances swears she found some at the market in the desert… but I’ll believe it when I see it.

Over all, mostly positive and only 2 concerns: 1. I now have to manage a cookie addiction (this is new for me) and 2. I’m still trying to figure out why FOR MEN is for men… hmm…
