Natural Brew Outrageous Ginger Beer: I'm likely to purchase any ginger beer I haven't tried before, and this brand was no exception.

Maya Kaimal Seeded Multigrain Chickpea Crisps: A gluten-free tortilla chip made from chickpea and rice, with a slight spiced flavor from Asafetida. Its taste is reminiscence of a mild papadum, with a fried vegetable aftertaste. Seasoning is a bit inconsistent but on the whole is light. A decent snack on its own but I imagine would also pair well with a variety of salsas and dips. 3.0/5.0
