Sambo Pristur

The great thing about this treat, the thing that made me jump up and down like a little schoolgirl when I saw it was the name. I'm fairly easily impressed by silly little things and the name of this bar made me gasp in aw. You see I've had a bit of a private search going on for a while, I've been looking for treats that have really short names. Sure it's a stupid hobby but when you review candy for a living your hobbies tend to be kind of lame.

The cool thing about this treat is also that it was a gift from a traveler. Someone completely oblivious to my search found me a little something that made me so happy. I guess I should talk about the bar a little too.

It was ok; I'm not really sure what it was though. At first it had little to no flavour, but the texture of Turkish delight covered in chocolate. Then the flavour got a little fruity, not bad. Then it got kind of gross and turned into a liquorice aftertaste, yuck. I like that I was completely surprised by what I had to eat. I was expecting something really simple and basic but what I got I may not have liked that much (mainly because of the liquorice) but it surprised me.

So what did I learn today? Well I learned that cultures all over the world have great treats to offer. I learned that there are sweets with one-character names. I also learned that when I eat something that I can't read the package it would be a good idea to keep a glass of water nearby.
