Very intrigued by the shrimp chips. How fishy are we talking about?

the ones I had were not very fishy, but I did not care for them much. They're not bad, and I eat them if they are out somewhere, but don't buy them myself.

I do like the Japanese rice cracker things, often come as an assortment of different kinds, with a sweet/salty coating.

Oh, an other thing I love are the peanut butter filled pretzel stick things from Trader Joe's, a great combination of flavors and nice and crunchy.

Also love corn puffs (or worms? Not sure what they are called here) but prefer the ones from Germany again, smaller and tastier to me.

And pretzel sticks.

Not very fishy - just a hint of dry shrimp. They are baked and quite light. There is another style I have not purchased in a while, and whose brand name I do not recall, that is more intense. They are imperfectly round and perhaps a 32nd inch thick. Perhaps someone else knows what I am referring to?

In my snacks list potato chips takes the first position. I go mad for chips, but as they are considered to be fattening, I avoid taking it regularly. Besides this I like gluten free muffins as well as garlic cheddar biscuits.

Uncooked krupuk, I think; they puff up when you cook them. I didn't know you could eat them uncooked!
