So, bought this while I was over in Mexico (it being manufactured there), thought I would bring it back into the office for people have a little go of (if they were brave), it being described as a "Hot and Salted Tamarind Pulp Candy" it seemed like it might be interesting...quite a few people did have a go (after I did) only one refusing point-blank, and the (by far) most popular description of the taste was "Oh, it tastes like Dates", followed immediately by "...and it's a bit salty...", and then "...and there's a bit of fire there too"...(mostly as it said on the packet, but) I was suprised at quite how fruity it was, for me I got about half dried dates, half sultana, (plus the after-zing) which persisted for a good 5 minutes after eating (even only a tiny little taste of) it...perhaps a *little* hardcore to be referred to as "candy" in the UK though... ;)
One American colleague said - "Mmmm...this tastes exactly like Fruit Roll, do you guys have Fruit Roll over here?"...but no-one had any idea what she was talking about...another thing to try perhaps... ;)
