 Hey guys welcome back to our channel. My name is Andrea and I'm Howard and we are with food inventory adventures in food And we are here today with an unboxing from Universal Yums Full disclosure. We did receive this box at the end of December But as you know, I had a baby around that time We'll actually mid December and so we just did not get a chance to unbox this and we debated about doing it But I say we do it. Yeah, because there are so many good things in here So we wanted to share it with you guys. So if you're not familiar Universal Yums is a monthly subscription box and Each month it comes with about I don't know 10 to 12 snacks It's $25 a month and in the box you get this little guide which gives you information on the different countries I think I forgot to mention Universal Yums It's a subscription box with snacks from different countries around the world So each month you get a guide with information on that country With information on all the different snack items in there It also has recipes and fun facts about that country. So with the December box Traditionally, they send you snacks from all the different countries. So it's not just one country. It's from all over the place So we'll go ahead and jump in and get started. Okay. So the first thing that we're gonna try are these raspberry potato chips and It says that they are a Let's see inspired by a Spanish New Year tradition And I've never had a raspberry potato chip before How do they smell? You like raspberry? No, but it's a regular chip and it's not pink or anything or red. Cheers. I taste a little sweetness Do you? Yeah, they hint a raspberry in there. I'll taste a hint of raspberry Not necessarily Sweet. Well, I guess I taste it now. It's like on the back end. It's a hint. Mm-hmm. It's really crunchy and crispy It's actually pretty good. So it's not like sugary sweet, but it just has a hint of raspberry. Yeah, it's pretty good Yummy yummy. Okay, so the next thing we're gonna try is Cannot pronounce that at all, but it is a chocolate coated biscuit with cream filling and These are from Uruguay So, oh, it looks like this I'm gonna cut it. So I thought it was hard like a like a chocolate covered Oreo. Is it? Or is it soft? It doesn't look like it has a Cookie in the middle. It's just like a wafer or something. Put this again. Okay. Cheers. Cheers. Not bad Not bad. That's our child crying in the background in case you're hearing something I don't like it. I like it has an almond flavor and I don't like almond flavored stuff But it does not have the consistency of an Oreo. It has a lighter consistency The cream I don't care for either. It's not a cookie with No Yeah Hey, next up Okay, so the next thing on our list is this Bundler, I'm probably saying that wrong nest tortilla alpine nut cake and It is a cake filled with walnuts and honey crumbly high-energy pastry caramelized walnuts Not what I expected me either now Howard usually likes stuff like this. I'm not usually a big fan of it So he's gonna cut it open for us I'm not really a big fan of apples like I can eat a raw apple, but like apple pie. It's really not my thing So let's see here piece. Yeah, I mean little piece. I got the big piece. Okay, so what is it? The outside part tastes like to you like the texture. What what is that texture? I can't put my finger on it That pays me. Oh, I really liked it What is it? What is the outside? I Don't know. I can't describe it, but it's like a pastry. It is like a pastry The consistency Would it be like a vanilla wafer? No, is it if they're like, um, they're any almond or anything in here walnuts I know, but like, you know, like the almond flavor. I don't I don't know. I don't see it I like that and it tastes like that to me But I can't describe it But it's like a it's not a cake. It's not like a wafer Yeah, I can't really explain it either. It's like a it's a I don't know. I can't explain it I really can't you know those. Yeah, you know like those loft house cookies like if you like the loft house cookies that are the soft cookies with the Like the icing on them. They sell them in the grocery stores to me That's kind of the texture of the outside of this kind of a little bit harder, but it's kind of that texture I can't describe it. All right. Okay. So what's next is these Tara? Tarelli cone semi-day Fennel Chio Terrible y'all. So these are wheat snacks with fennel seeds and that is not I won't like this. I'm not a big fennel seed person But these are from trying to figure out which country these are from Do not see it on here. Reminds me of a pretzel. Oh, it does kind of like a pretzel I don't like the smell. I know. I don't care for the smell at all. I probably won't care for the taste either Cheers hard. Don't like it Really that's it So if you like rye bread it gives me a I have a rye bread kind of tasting a little seeded rye bread Yeah, I don't eat rye bread. I don't think this is it looks like a pretzel, but it does not taste like the pret a pretzel I have the fennel and it has a really strong fennel taste. Don't like those. Okay. I say no to that one So next we have a milk chocolate bar with roasted almond. We probably won't try this It looks pretty good. It's pretty thick try off. I think you had it. I think it upside down. Did you know? Okay, so I love chocolate and I love almonds, but we're not gonna try that on camera. So the next thing up is It's ube and I'm probably saying that wrong it's ube shortbread cookie, which is a Filipino shortbread cookie and ube If I'm saying that correctly is a purple yam. So this is interesting like taro or something Maybe Purple it's very thick. Oh, it's good to me. It does not look good to me at all Very dense is it You know, those are two words. I don't like to hear with pastries It's like a shortbread cookie. Get a piece. You can have a smaller piece. I have a big piece It smells it just smells like shortbread. It doesn't have that. I'm scared. Oh you won't like it but Not what I I need some milk or something to eat this. Oh, it's very dry Flowery tastes like dirt dirt. That's what it is. Oh My mouth aren't you sad that you took a big piece now. Aren't you sad? No. Oh I don't mind the taste just that I need some liquid or something to wash this down It's very very honestly the texture to me tastes like dirt. It's very very powdery It does not taste like a shortbread cookie. I'm gonna be a peanut butter. No No That's the thumb sound for me Okay, so next we have some potato chips Again, I cannot pronounce it but it is roasted chicken flavored potato chips And these are from France So that's pretty exciting Yeah, well the roasted chicken Smell like chicken like no. It does not just smells like a chip just like the other one cheers Hmm interesting That would be a no for me. He ate my other half That's a no I don't mind it. Did they take it does taste like chicken? You know what it tastes like It's seasoned it tastes seasoned but Trader Joe's right around Thanksgiving. They have this I think it's chicken and stuffing potato chip. So if you like those and you were probably like that it does have a I Can't explain it. I don't care for it though, but it doesn't taste like chicken. Just taste savory Okay, so the next thing in the box Is baklava? It's a mixed baklava. Usually they give you we've had this I think we've had this in another box. Yeah country. It's from mm-hmm. It is from Do not see it on here But we there's normally like five or six little how many you're in there four So there's four pieces of baklava. I want to turn it on the back so they can see the picture Back right oh that front has a picture and then the back has Has that on there so there's four in there, but we're not gonna open up that box I'm enjoying it. You do you like those and I don't really care for baklava. So the next thing is These wafers with apple streusel cream filling This sounds like it is right up here alley. Yes, it does. It's pretty big. These are from Austria One shot. Yeah, go ahead. So it says let me see here. It's broken though. Yeah The outside so It says these things became an overnight sensation and they're really popular around Christmas time It is a cinnamony cinnamony cream filled wafer Was something you'll crave for the future And this was inspired by baklava pretty big It's like like this perforated here, too. Oh, yeah Like a sandwich it looks like one of those Like just a regular sugar wafer that she find in the grocery store the kind that are like pink and brown and vanilla That's what it looks like to me and I've never liked those things So all right, you can have a small piece Have a bigger piece Good to me. It smells very very sweet and apple like apple pie filling. Oh, that'd be good. Cheers Good super sweet. Oh I like sweet it's very very sweet And it has an artificial apple flavor flavor to me. Yeah I agree with you. I taste the Artificial apple type. Yeah, I don't like that Okay, so the next thing up are Let's see cannot pronounce them again, but they are a wheat pretzel stick with garlic filling Now, I don't know if this is going to be like a Soft wet garlic filling or these are going to be dry garlic filling picture. It's like a garlic in there Um, let's see. These are from Croatia And these are popular around christmas too. It says they're called christmas wheat um It says Oh, okay. Not what I expect neither I smell the garlic. Do you you can't really see the filling you can't see that filling on the inside, but there's a little bit in there Cheers garlic strong garlic Oh, yeah, not super savory like burning garlic burning. What does that mean? It's so strong it burns It's not good it does it it just tastes like like there's no salt To me, it's just garlic like there's nothing savory strong. I need some sweet. It's extremely strong That would be a thumbs down for me. Okay. So the next thing we have are white cinnamon cookie Belgian chocolate, which is a white chocolate with cinnamon cookie pieces Now we're just going to open that up. Mm-hmm And it says during the holiday season um, it's you know These are pretty common. These are from belgium and these are popular there Let's see here The most common toys in belgium are belgium chocolates in cinnamon cookies called speculose And so this is a white cinnamon chocolate with those speculose. I'm probably saying that wrong cookie Inside so the bar was already broken apart. Yeah, it's broken. It's broken. It's a pretty big bar. It's thin. Yeah, it's super thin Cheers. Good piece. It's good It's not bad very cinnamon-y Super cinnamon-y if you don't like cinnamon, you probably wouldn't like this I don't get super cinnamon-y. I taste cinnamon But I like cinnamon Yeah, and I like cinnamon too, but these are very cinnamon-y to me But they're still good and you taste the creaminess of the white chocolate. You've got the crunch of the cookie Whoops, it's actually pretty good. I don't mind that at all Okay, so next up we have um these treats from japan Um, and they are a pretzel cookie with the caramel almond filling. So let's try those out How's it gonna open the box? It said in on the description of this product it says that mid december Um, in japan they kind of pick a little siesta There's the one of the packages inside the box one of several Um, and they're sweet and salty and these are tradition during mid january Oh, no, they're super thin. Two cookies in each or whatever they are in each one. Yeah, I'll take one And they're through them They're super duper. Look how thin they are. They're kind of like an Oreo thin Cookie, I mean they're that thin Cheers I'm gonna taste the outside by itself Tastes the filling Caramel This is caramel almond filling. I like it So the cookie I thought it was gonna be sweet and salty, but I taste mostly sweet I tasted this little cookie part by itself and it just tastes like a thin Not really sweet cookie and then the filling. Yeah, the filling. What do you think? I like it What does it taste like to you? Well, again, it has the almond stuff in there, which I like Tastes almond and cinnamon and see I don't really care for almond flavoring and I don't taste almond I just taste like caramel So I guess if you like almond or you don't like almond, you'll probably like this cookies if you like a Crunchy Cookie. Oh, I'm pretty good. Yes, I agree. Okay. So next up we have Oh, this is up your alley. You can't pronounce the name of it But it is a gingerbread with black currant icing The package has several individual little gingerbreads in there, you know that? And See, I don't like stuff like this, but Howard does it has a sweet black currant berry icing And this is from the heart shape and there's six of them in the package And these are a Polish snack So these are right up your alley I expected kind of filling. I guess it's all gingerbread Yeah, so there's no filling on the inside, which I thought there would be two I guess the thing's inside there the uh, what's the other thing? Black current yeah And it's dry. So it's not like a wet moist cookie. Yeah took too much Very dry very dry taste the the black current or whatever it is immediately Probably on the outside Okay, so I've never had current before I don't know if I've even well, I guess this is current right here There's current in the picture that one icing so I get it right. So you put it on your in your mouth. I get the current I don't like that taste to me and for lack of a better word. It tastes kind of musty tasting I don't care for this at all at all I would need some liquid to go with this Milk or something very dry is very very dry. So it's not like a wet moist No, very dry pastry, whatever it is. Okay. So next up we have What's next? I think we open them off Yeah, I don't have a next. Yeah, I came to the end of the book.
