Shout from Brazil ! I love you guys. The Passatempo usually kids eat them, u dont see many adults eating because of the stong chemical flavor. The potato crips, we actually use as side dish from other stuff ... i barealy see someone eating by themselves, they'r awesome with hotdogs. Fruit jelly they use real fruits in them, but every state have their own mix. Ouro Branco its my FAVORITE. Would be super nice to see u guys try our beer. (i hate most of them :P)
I still eat passatempo as an adult and it's the first time I hear about this strong chemical flavor, maybe I can't even notice because I also don't mind industrialized juice instead of natural.
We eat those chips mainly topping hot dog sandwiches or sometimes as a side dish. You won't see nobody eating them straight from the bag as we eat Lay's. That jelly used to be very popular here when I was a kid, in the 80s, but not anymore. You will struggle to find it here nowadays.
Thomas and Clisare next to each other is like an optical illusion. Thomas looks closer to the camera and Clisare farther away, while at the same time side by side.
The thin crisps are known as “potato stix” in the US. I love them, because you can nibble away for quite a while, without eating a ton of them. Love your reactions!
I went to Brazil on a business trip about 10 years ago. I was expecting you guys to try barbeque, caipirinhas, and especially coffee (the best I've had in the world). Never tried sweets while I was there...
We don't eat straw potatoes as a snack. We put it on top of food, for example in hot dogs and stroganoff. It's like the cherry on the cake' :D Passatempo biscuits and gelatin are children's snacks. (:
I like how Darren tries to instill a sense of arthouse cinema into these TRY episodes. Maybe when you're doing an episode about South African snacks you could make him wrestle a Mamba or ride an Ostrich at the end of the episode.
The strawfries are very reminiscent of Hickory Sticks here in Canada, and I'm so here for it! I wish I had known about them many years ago when I was lucky enough to visit Rio de Janeiro, I'd have brought some home for sure! Clearly, I was far too distracted by the Rodízio (I must go back for the BBQ one day, I must!).
Cultural context for those curious! Passatempo: Name means "pass time" or "hobby". This was like the ultimate recess food. Like the lunchables of the cookie world. If you brought those, other kids would be like, "ooooo". It's the luxury premiere brand of cookie that your mom would say isn't good for you and get you some off brand generic store version of and you'd sit there being, "It could be... passatempo...". It's a milk cookie with strawberry or chocolate fudge filling. Straw fries: Straw as in "hay". Because they're like a pile of hay. Almost every reaction channel has people try them... and... it's like having someone try croutons from a bag. It's very rarely if ever eaten by themselves. They're crunchy toppings. Usually on top of pies, or hot dogs. In the future have them try it how its supposed to be! Fruit Jelly: Basically jujubes. It's an old style candy that grandmas used to give. Ouro Branco: Now... some Brazilians might be mad at me for saying this. But this is the off brand "Serenata". There's a very very famous bon bon called "Serenata de amor", or "love's serenade". Boys would sometimes give one to girls in school. It's a hazelnut fudge filling covered by a layer of wafer dipped in chocolate. They're from Garoto, a company that I believe have merged with Nestle. Now, their big competitor is Lacta. Think Coke vs Pepsi. And Lacta created a serenata clone. This one, Ouro Branco, or "White gold", is a spinoff of the clone, a white chocolate version. It's still good. And just like coke vs pepsi some people will yell at you for calling it the wish version of serenata xD
The same is true of Lena next to Sarah. They’re sitting right next to each other, why do they look like they are built at a completely different scale?
The small potato crisps are use more as compliments in other dishes like hot-dogs, beef stew with rice... Cheers from Brazil. Oh, the jelly sweet as far as I'm concerned at least the red part is made with real guava fruit.
Here in the United States we have a snack called shoe string potatoes that are very similar to the crisps they have. I always liked them as a nice change from potato chips.
I love people saying things like "we have something similar here" and when you go try it has nothing to do with it. Like recently a vietnamese ate a feijoada and said they had something similar, but they served sweet for dessert. Like wtf, if it's sweet then it`s the exact opposite taste, how can it be similar? I ended up trying later on and it had absoutely nothing to do with it. Just because it was a dessert with beans they called it "similar". I bet their biscuit they call similar is just another buiscuit with filling in the middle, cuz I`ve travelled a lot and love to eat those junk stuff, but NEVER found any biscuit as creamy that melts in your mouth like Passatempo.
When I lived in Puerto Rico we used to put them in cuban style sandwiches and they made the sandwich much better. I bet they would be good on something like hoagies.
Where's the brigadeiro, like? And the Paçoquito? A good video though, so well done, y'all! Brigadeiro is the most popular Brazilian dessert (so I read), and dangerously easy to make at home. It's like a truffle with chocolate sprinkles on top. And Paçoquito is like a Mexican De La Rosa or the inside of a Reese's Peanut Butter cup.
Brazilian here 🙋🏻The straw fries chips are not a snack, they're usually a topping on hotdogs/sandwiches or you put a small garnish on your everyday food just to zhuzh it up your meal. Also, the snacks you've tried are not really good examples of our common snacks, there are others way more popular.
I was disappointed they didn't do more common snacks as well, they seem to regularly get weird snacks from places. But I need to disagree with you and say they can be a snack. I know that usually they're called batata palha. The bag they had, the label said they were batata frita, which is weird because as you know, batata fritas are french fries. The wonderful thing with potatoes is that you can eat them in whatever way that you want to. Personally I prefer making a sauce and mixing them in it and eating them with a fork so it's less messy.
@@emilygrae Yeah, you can eat pretty much everything as snack, but with batata palha usually you eat as a side dish or topping (and just like you I prefer to eat with fork and knife, mostly with rice, beans and strogonoff).
3:02 this is not a snack, i'm from brazil and we eat it with rice and a food called stroganoff, which is cream with ketchup and mustard with chicken or minced meat, here in brazil we have ruffles, leys and other fries
The straw fries chips aka batata palha are usually eaten on a meal even though it’s good munch material. Some brands are good, some are terrible. That one didn’t look great. 😬
@@emilygrae Have u tasted Goiabada and Marmelada? Goiabada is from Guava and Marmelada is from Marmelo fruit. They are fruit desserts. Ouro Branco means White Gold. Ouro is Gold in portuguese
There're tons more brazilian's treats that you guys should give a try! That Ouro Branco bombom is my favorite ❤ Next time go for paçoquinha, biscoito de polvilho, bis, cocada, doce de leite 🇧🇷
The thin potato crisp are good when you mix them with melted peanut butter and butterscotch chips. Then you drop them in tablespoon drops and wait for them to harden. My family calls them noodle candy but the real name is haystacks. The little crisps aren’t what you normally use chow mien noodles but I think these could work.
We have a version of that, but with crispy chow mein noodles with chocolate instead of butterscotch chips. "Chocolate haystacks" haven't had those in years.
This channel getting it wrong again. Those potato tiny fries, are a topping. Just a terrible representation of “Brazilian Snacks”. Where’s the coxinha? Esfiha? Pao de queijo?Cade o brigadeiro gente?
