Alright, I'm going to try to keep this short and sweet so I can dive into this plethora of tasty snacks.

Started off with my culinary tour guide, Sam the Eagle. 'Murica! This badass dude is teaching me about the historical and culturally influenced cuisine of the Pacific Northwest.

The first bit is some historical favorites: homemade trail mix, homemade elk jerky, smoked salmon, dried Fuji apples, fruit leather, and some raspberry jam. Awesome start.

Next stop is some Scandinavian inspired Cardamon biscotti. I don't know what Cardamon is, but I plan on trying it out right after this.

Next is Japan. I have some snacks (JanJan and Pocky), wasabi, and 'ready make' noodles. Still solid.

Next up is some Hispanic cuisine, as it turns out the Spanish were the first 'non-native' explorers to reach Washington. I did not know this until today. I'll be rocking the tostadas and refried beans in their honor.

Now on to some local, new age, 21st century snacks. I've got some coffee (Seattle's Best) - Couldn't help but think about the scene from Elf when I saw the name - about a billion flavors of tea, three different types of nut butter (yeah I laughed, shut up), kettle chips, and a FishPeople tuna instant dinner type of thing.

To summarize, my gifter went above and beyond and killed it. I am extremely appreciative of the effort and creativity. Everything is perfect and I can't wait to get a taste of the Pacific Northwest!
