Yaki Anago: The dried seafood section of hmart is one of the most intriguing, and on a whim, I decided to purchase this single serving grilled eel snack. From the packaging, the strips almost look like bacon, but they have a very familiar seafood flavor. While the package had very little English, the words \"Japanese cracker\" are misleading; instead, inside are strips of eel with a soft yet meaty texture not unlike jerky.

Trader Joe's everything pretzel slims: Flat pretzel-shaped crisps flavored with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, caraway seeds, and an especially significant amount of garlic. Texture is not great-not quite a cracker or a chip, and somewhat stale. But unlike most pretzel snacks, it's not overly seasoned. Works well with dips. 3.0/5.0

Kettle Real Sliced Potatoes hickory honey bbq potato chips: Why brands put "real" in their product names is beyond me - what's unreal about the original product line? Nonetheless, these chips seem to be cut thicker than normal, with a ring around them showing the skin of the potato. Good crunch. BBQ flavor is not distinctive but not bad either. 3.0/5.0

Bagelsaurus oatmeal chocolate chip cookie: My favorite part of eating an oatmeal cookie is the texture-the more whole oats, the better. This cookie didn't have that texture at all. In fact, if I didn't purchase it, I probably wouldn't have known it had oatmeal. The texture otherwise, though, was pretty good: soft and chewy. Very sweet overall. 3.0/5.0
