Came for the scammers, stayed for everything else. There’s something very comforting about these videos. It almost reminds me of being a kid and walking across the street to my neighbor’s house after they just finished baking cookies. It has that same sort of feel- enjoying the company of a good friend during a quiet afternoon. ... maybe it’s the tablecloth.
I'm really happy your sticking to the type of content you started off with and didn't change your channel to scam baiting for the views. You are amazing with your content I personally don't watch this type but recently I find myself watching all of your content and I love your attitude and vibes you give off. Seriously congrats on 100k and in no time you'll be at that gold play button
I can't help but get a vibe from Atomic Shrimp that I can only describe as an odd but extremely wholesome mix of James May, Ashens, and Jim Browning. Some of your videos I look at and don't think I'll bee to interested, but then as if by magic I find myself at the end of the video. Loving the variety you produce. Proper wholesome.
Yes, more tastings with the wife would be good when possible. It's good to hear a second opinion from a female perspective, as I understand women have more taste buds than men.
I'm on a diet right now, so this is the kind of content I've been craving! The Yaar bars are probably my favorite out of these. It looks so appetizing.
@@JimboJuice I think he meant across the Atlantic pond not through the molten pond, think Stenson not boonie if ya get what I'm spewing buddyo aaaaaaooooo
the yaar things are similar to an old russian dessert called syrok, and it is a bar of sweetened smooth cottage cheese (quark) in a chocolate shell, its really nice. it might be a bit unusual texture and flavour-wise, but i love it. the chocolate ones are really rich and theyre more dark chocolate and cocoa powder flavoured rather than usual milk chocolate. its a common thing for the chocolate shell to be a little sweaty when you open it, especially if its in a foil like packaging like these were. ah, you said about the cheese ones being targeted at adults - in the iron curtain era these were the only "candy bars" available and kids enjoyed them a lot, nowadays these kids became fathers and mothers and its kind of a nostalgia snack now, not many gen z kids care about syroks
Yeah, I think they're exactly like syrok. Specifically that Magija-thing, I suspect is pronounced like 'magiya' and should be either polish or Baltic, as Shrimp said - makes me think they are all some type of a glazed syrok. I love those, so does my 9 y.o.
Magija "Magiya" is a Lithuanian chocolate cheese bar. We have sooooo many flavours! And tons of different brands. I'd love to send you some somehow to try!
These "quark bars" are pretty common in slavic countries for some reason. I think this stuff originated from Bulgaria, I read that somewhere, might be wrong. IT'S THE BEST STUFF ON THIS PLANET MY GOD IT'S SO GOOD! Btw. the coating keeps coming off and it will always come off no matter what. This chees-y stuff "sweats" a whole lot when in contact with warm air, most brands use very easily meltable chocolate in hope that it will melt and stick back to the bar quickly, but it never works.
Growing up, the kinder maxi king and the " sandwich" ( in Hungary we call it "milk-slice") were my favorites. I still remember my dear old grandpa buying one each day before school for me. Don't know how popular Kinder is in the UK, but it is extremely popular in central Europe. They make very high quality and incredible tasting stuff. The maxi king is out of this world. If you see the one called " paradiso' definitely try that. It has 2 varieties: vanilla and chocolate both great.
Hahaha we have something like those in the small store by my apartment. They are called "Milk Snack". I was obsessed with them for a month. A very light and airy snack!
A shame we don't have those sort of things here in the US! My 7-year-old would love one every now and then for dessert in her lunch box, and I think even I would enjoy it now and again.
When I was a kid, they always said that the Kinder one (the sandwhich thing) had alcohol in it. I totally believed that bc it tasted weird. But honestly in the end my mother just didn't want us to eat too much chocolate lol. I wonder if the recipe is still the same tho.
I have often found that packaged individual cake products taste like they contain alcohol - the effect is especially prominent in products containing cherries or cherry flavour, but also anything that contains vanilla Some flavour extracts are alcohol-based, so I guess in cases where the flavour is sprayed on after baking (which I think could be part of the manufacturing process for thin layers of cake), maybe some of that alcohol survives in the finished product - not enough to need to declare it on the label, but enough to taste. Or maybe there's some other compound in there that is provoking the same taste/smell response. I know that some artificial sweeteners (Sorbitol, Xylitol) are technically alcohols - perhaps there's something going on there...
@@AtomicShrimp Oh, thank you so much for the information! I never thought this could actually be true because alcohol in sweets that are made for kids? But as I said the "Milchschnitte" always tasted weird, I didn't like it much as a kid because of that. This would explain everything though. If it's something 0,02 % I doubt they really would declare it. If some artificial do have some similiar effects, this of course would explain it as well! And here I thought that rumor came about just because it was expensive chocolate. Thanks again for the explanation
I don't think they treat dried dairy quiet the same here. We have chocolate bars and then dried dairy in a freezer aka ice cream or frozen dessert depending on the milk content. I doubt most of these could even be sold here legally (here is Canada). First one is just an ice cream sandwich here but due to protectionist policies around the dairy industry, it would depend on the milk fat content. We do eat English chocolate that is banned in the US but thats a whole other topic/video.
As a German the second one (called ‚Milchschnitte‘ in Germany, not really translatable) was the only one we used to have when I was a kid so I sometimes get them to get a taste of childhood. I never got used to the quark bars due to the consistency.
As an American, I was surprised by how small these were, and the cheese inside an ice cream snack. It was also jarring to see you pick up what we call an "ice cream sandwich" and say they weren't ice creams!
We have the Maxi King and the Milk Slice (Milchschnitte) in Germany, the Maxi King is lovely but not really suitable for a lunchbox, because it needs to be very chilled otherwise it falls apart.
I have been watching your videos for some time now. So it was nice to see something that comes from my homeland (Magija, spoken like Magiya, which means magic in Lithuanian). I don't know if you have tried it already or if you can get it in the UK, but if you liked the Quark bars, consider another Lithuanian one called Nykštukas (Neekshtukas, means dwarf). There is a variety of flavours to choose from too.
The Magija nor the other one similar bar you've tried are Nordic, sorry but as a local where those bars come from I cannot stand them being called Nordic when they aren't. The blue and the red one are Estonian, and the Magija brown one is Lithuanian, which was the concept of these cheese bars originated from. I used to love these until I found out I was lactose intolerant :(
@@AtomicShrimp Splendid. I prefer not to assume. My Gentleman's Relish is in the post to the USA now. I'll make a video referencing yours when I receive it.
