What are some unusual, hard to find, foods that you enjoy--when you can find them? Here are some of mine:
Haw--a Chinese fruit. Tastes kinda like cherries. You can occassionally find it in Asian supermarkets made into a soft candy.
Pine Bud Drink--I found a six pack of it in a Korean supermarket, a few months ago. As the name suggests, it's flavored with pine buds! An acquired taste, but I loved it!
Cordials--A candy. Dark chocolate on the outside surrounds a sugar shell, and in the middle is a liquid. Often it's liquor flavored (non-alcoholic), usually rum. Kinda expensive, so I don't get it too often!
Mochi--A vegetarian product made from brown rice. Comes in squares. Hard and rather unappetizing when you buy it. But it puffs up while cooking and becomes chewy. Tastes kinda like muffins.
Chocolate Dragees--A candy with a hard shell and a dark chocolate center. Like gourmet large sized m@m's ! And you can only find them in one place--the Harrod's in London! At around $20 a pound!
Violet Pastilles--A candy made by a small company called C.Howard's. As the name suggests, they do indeed taste like violets!
