My gift arrived way late, and that got me a little sad but my secret santa did message me a few time explaining to me his colleagues ate my snacks. Now I will admit that sounds like an excuse but who cares in the end, I got them right :).

My gifter mentioned in the accompanying letter that he hoped he had sent me stuff I couldn't find in the Netherlands. That almost worked out, since we do have Kettle Chips here. In fact, we do have a lot of famous chips here in a lot of variaties, I don't think the US will beat us there by much.

I also got two bags of Chicharonnes. Now I didn't know what those were, but they seem to be deep fried pig skins with some sugar, salt and spice added. To be honest they took a LOT of getting used to, but after one whole bag I can say I'm beginning to like them. This is nothing like I've ever tasted here and I don't know if it can even be bought here, a truly unique taste of the US indeed.
