R.W. Knudsen spiced pear drink: While this juice consists predominantly of apple and pear juice from concentrate, the flavor is undeniably festive and perfect for the late fall. Spiced cinnamon and clove add to this well balanced drink, which is good hot or cold. Definitely on the sweet side, but I still enjoyed it. 4.0/5.0

KurKure masala munch: Shaped exactly like crunchy cheetos, this corn snack forgoes cheese and instead has a satisfying, spiced coating that includes onion powder, garlic powder, and cumin. A manageable amount of heat that adds rather than detracts. From India. 3.0/5.0

Lay's India's Magic Masala: Another bag of chips brought back from India, this distinctive snack is flavored with turmeric, cumin, dry mango powder, and chili powder. It reminds me of some of the delicious fried potato straws I've had from Indian grocery stores. The flavor has heat but is more spiced than spicy. 3.0/5.0

Hyosung Food roasted seaweed: A recent conversation with @sharingnicely about kelp inspired me to buy a seaweed product on my latest trip to Hmart. I purchased a bag of Korean roasted seaweed, which I'm discovering comes in an alternative form of shredded, crispy seaweed mixed with sesame seeds (as opposed to sheets). I typically add this seaweed to rice to eat alongside a savory dish (the form of the snack doesn't lead itself to be eaten by hand). It's quite sweet on its own.
