 Hey guys, welcome back to our channel. My name is Andrea. And I'm Howard. And we are with Food and Mentory Adventures in Food. And we are here today with another unboxing from Universal Yums. Yay. And if you're not familiar, Universal Yums is a monthly subscription box, $25 a month. And every single month they send you snacks and treats from a different country. So this month is Spain. So we're super excited about that. So this booklet that I'm holding up actually has descriptions of all of the different products that are in the box. And it also has recipes in here. So there's recipes. And then there was also fun facts about the country. So without further ado, we are going to jump in. Okay, first up, I guess it's breakfast. Gonna have some fried egg chips. Ooh, this is, and either one of us like fried eggs really. So it says- Well, I like fried eggs, but I'm not sure. You don't like them raw. No, I don't like raw or funny side or- So the picture here looks like a sunny side egg. So I'm gonna, like I said, it has a little description of the product. So I'm gonna tell you a little bit about it. It says, fried eggs in Spain are made a little bit differently. They crack the eggs in an extra hot olive oil. What does it smell like? Does it smell like an egg? And it says- It smells like oil. Oh really? It says it's gooey, runny, yolk in the center. Are you just sniffing your chip? Or are you just sniffing mine? Did you sniff my chip? No, I didn't sniff your chip. Thank you. Cheers. Ooh. Well, it tastes like an egg yolk. It does taste like an egg yolk. And it smells, even though you can't smell it. When you bite into it, you get the- You get the egg yolk taste. And I like hard boiled eggs. Well, it tastes like a fried egg, but because it talks about all the runny stuff, it turns me off. When you bite it, it tastes like a hard boiled egg yolk. It tastes like a fried egg yolk, too. You know, you can knock yourself out. I don't think I want any more chips. You're hardly tasting. Okay, let's take a little bit. That's a thumbs down for me. Is it thumbs up or thumbs down for you? I'm down. I don't want that one. Okay. Okay, so the next one that we're gonna try, and I can't pronounce the name of it, but it is a shortbread with orange marmalade filling. And does it feel soft or hard? It's soft. It's soft. So Howard likes soft stuff. I'm more of a crunchy stuff. Oh, this one broke. It broke? It broke. I'll just show it in my hand. Yeah, it kind of fell apart a little bit. Can you see up there? I don't know if that helps or not. But it says, let's see here, this is basically mantecado. I don't know what that is. I guess it's like an orange, Spanish orange. And the peak season for that is August through December. 40% of the country. In the middle has... Orange marmalade. Yeah. Oh, and it says filling contains meat. Now, I don't know if it means real meat. Oh, yeah, it is. It says, locals combined pork fat, flour, and sugar. It's going to be good to have pork in there. Do you want to try some of the filling stuff or are you just going to try the edges? I'll just try the edges. I'll leave the meat to you. Oh, I'll have all the meat. Okay, so I'll try a little edge here. So here's what mine looks like. It smells like orange. Cheers. Good. It just crumbles apart. I mean, you would like it orange. I like it. It's very good. Maybe because I know. It does taste like marmalade and stuff. Yep. It tastes like marmalade. I like it. I think what's turning me off, so there's no actual meat in here. I'm looking at the ingredients now, but it's made with lard. So the ingredients are sugar, wheat flour, lard, pumpkin, corn syrup, oranges, blah, blah, blah. Well, this is a no for me. It's too crumbly. It comes down for me. Good. It comes down for me. Okay. Next up. It says, these are coguitos. It looks like M&Ms to me. It says dark chocolate covered peanuts. And it says everyone knows peanut M&Ms even in Spanish. But in Spain, the colorful American classics face some serious competition. So these are very popular there. They're little. Are they all brown or are they different colors like M&Ms? Oh, awesome. They're all brown. So they're all brown. And they're quite a bit smaller than a regular M&M, especially a peanut M&M. You know what it looks like to me? No. Probably shouldn't say this. Rabbit pellets, but cheers. It looks like it's more like the size of a raisinette. Peanut coated, I mean the chocolate. It does taste like an M&M, but it's dark chocolate. Actually, that's not bad. Not bad at all. Mm-mm. I don't think we have dark chocolate peanut M&Ms here in the US, do we? I have no idea. They should make one. Those are actually pretty good. Okay. So the next thing are these espil, oh wait, which one is that? Right? So espil espitos. And it says they are a ham flavored ham puff snack. Yes. Oh, I don't know about that, but it says visiting Spain without tasting ham. That's impossible. Well, ham is good, but this is very light. It's very... And it says, ham is a crown jewel of the Spanish cuisine. Blah, blah, blah. Oh, that's interesting. Is there something in the middle? No. No, there's no filling. It's just like a... I can see right through it. Hmm, okay. It says bold country, it says it has a bold flavor of Iberian ham in the form of a crunchy corn puff. Try not to hog this yum, it says. Try not to hog it. Okay. You got me a little bit. I know, you didn't want a little piece. You want a big piece like mine? Spells like ham. That's good. Sure, sure. Wow. This integrates in your mouth. It's like a puff, I like it. And you don't like puffs, you don't like Cheetos puffs. No, but it just melts in your mouth. It really does. And you can get the ham flavor in there. That's not bad. I'll have to give that one a thumbs up. See? But then you try it. And what do you give it? Thumbs up. Okay. Moving on to the next one. It is the, I can't pronounce it, but it's a soft cake with cream filling. Yeah, it doesn't sound like you. No, because I don't really like soft stuff. But it says, It feels heavy right there. It has a sugary glaze on it. And the nuns eat it in this particular city. It says it's a decadent cake with a luscious cream in a super sweet. That does not look like what I thought. Is it heavy? It's very heavy. That is big. I want a little piece, so you want a big piece. No, I want a little piece. I'd like a little piece, please. I really like that ham puff thing. See? Now Cheetos should come out with like a ham puff Cheetos. Ham and cheese. All right, here's your little piece. I don't know. I got my man size piece. And it's kind of wet filling too. He likes stuff like that. Cheers. Cheers. I don't like the way it smells. Mmm, not so. It tastes like- I give it a thumbs sideways. I give it a thumbs down because it tastes like uncooked cake to me. I don't like that. No. Okay. Oh, so next up, we are trying some artisan potato chips, Mediterranean herb with assorted herbs, garlic, and onion. And this is what it looks like. So now we're getting to something that I think I might enjoy. One for you too? I got it. So it says parsley, garlic, and onion, savory adobo seasoning, actually I want a bigger one. I want a bigger one. Yeah, it smells good. Cheers. No. Mmm, I like it. What don't you like? It tastes green. Oh, basil. Basil? Basil, parsley, garlic, and onion. Put some ham on there. Where's the Spanish ham? I like these. These are a thumbs up for me. If you like herby stuff, and it kind of tastes like a kettle chip too, so it's really kind of crunchy. Okay. So next thing, I want to open these things up, these are candy coated white chocolate and caramel pieces. And we've had these before. I think we got these in another box. And these kind of taste like plain M&Ms, but they're made with white chocolate. They have kind of like caramel flavor. Oh, they look better. And they're like an M&M, but they're flat. Cheers. I like these. I like them last time too. Oh, they're really good. Thumbs up for me. Thumbs up for me. Okay. So the next thing, again, I cannot pronounce the name, but they are chili, barbecue flavored corn and rice snacks. They kind of look like, I don't know if you can show you, this is what they look like. Kind of like a Chinese rice cracker mix. Oh. It's kind of what they remind me of. I mean, I like it. Hold on. Well, I don't know, a Chinese rice cracker, but it has ham or something in there, right? I don't think it has ham. Is it pork or something? Chili barbecue. Barbecue, all right, good. So they do have corn nuts in there. I got a star and a little ball thing. Get the barbecue a bit, but it's a little spicy, a little spice too, but. I like it. You got some on your chin. But I don't like the puff stuff though. I do like this because it has, if I could find one, there's like a Frito in there, which kind of reminds me of like a chili cheese Frito. So if you like Fritos and you like that chili cheese flavored Frito that I like, this is what this snack makes taste like. So I give that one a thumbs up. I definitely give it a thumbs up. I'm gonna hold that one, not quite all the way down. Okay. So another thing that we have are these spicy mango flavored gummies. That looks familiar like we've had that before. I feel like we've had that before too, and I don't really care for mango. I don't mind the mango, but we'll see how these taste. I know they've been spicy. This is extremely hot commodity. It's fruity and spicy. Cheers. I think I can bite. Yeah. Tastes mango. Tastes of mango. Tastes of spiciness too. I do taste of spiciness. I don't care for it. I don't like. Not bad. It definitely has a kick because I can feel it in the back of my throat. Spicy mango. I don't think I like a spicy gummy bear. Like if it was the traditional, I wouldn't want it spicy. I don't like this combo. If you like sweet and spicy, I think you'd like it. It's not bad at all. I taste mango. I definitely, if you like mango, you may like it, especially with a little kick on there. Yeah, there's definitely a kick for sure. I'm trying to see what spice is in there. I don't see it off the top of my, I mean, I'm glancing through the list here of ingredients and I don't see like cayenne pepper or anything. I don't see anything, but I don't care for this. For me, this would be a thumbs down. Parsley up a little bit. Okay. So it's your turn. And it is Carmen. I can't pronounce it, but it's an olive oil cookie with almond and spices. I'm not sure olive oil cookie does it for me, but it has other stuff which makes it taste good. It says Spain is the world's largest producer of olive oil, accounting for 21% of the global supply. It says it's an almond infused olive oil cookie. Is it hard or soft? It's dense, but not crunchy. Okay. So the ingredients say wheat flour, sugar, extra virgin olive oil, spices, almonds and yeast. So this should be interesting. It's not like raisins or something. Yeah. Not good. Soft. It kind of, I wouldn't say powdery, but it's kind of... Crumbly. I don't care for that. It has a odd flavor. I'll tell you what it is. I don't really like almond flavored things. I love almonds. This has an almond flavor and you can taste the olive oil. I think it's just something, I'm not into it. It's not bad. I don't get a full thumbs up, but I get a diagonal thumbs up. I give it a thumbs down. Okay. So the next thing that we're gonna try are these biscuits with lemon cream filling. And biscuits are cookies. And let's see. It says ready for a taste of sweet success. The company behind these zesty cream filled biscuits is as successful as could be. I personally love lemon flavored stuff. So they're not cookies, they're biscuits. What's the difference? I thought a biscuit was a cookie. I think biscuits are harder to eat. Okay. So I'm gonna try that out. It says it has deliciously zingy lemon cream. Zingy. Yeah. It does have a really good flavor. Definitely tastes lemony, don't you think? It does. I'm not sure what the biscuit part of it though. You don't like the crunchy cookie? It's like a plain cookie. It's not very sweet. The cookie, the biscuit I should say in itself is not super sweet. No, you need the cream to help it out. I like it. I'd give it a thumbs up and I'd buy it in the store if I saw it. So the next thing that we've got to try is, oh. There's one more here, whatever this is. So they are cocoa-dusted chocolate truffles. Okay, let me open this box. So it says, let's see. This chocolate is a huge secret. The Spanish Conquistador first encounter chocolate as a bitter, spiced drink in Aztec, Mexico. Bitter spiced? And a bit of scissors over there. Let's see here. Spanish Monarchy, seeing how lucrative chocolate could be. Try to keep it hush-hush. And in 1606, the entire continent was in on the sweet secret. Here it is, it looks like a kiss. It looks like a dusty kiss. Okay, so cheers. Very chocolatey. Very chocolatey. Dark chocolate. It is dark chocolate, but it's not bitter. You know how some chocolates are very, very bitter? This is not like that. I'll give it a thumbs up. I'm not very a chocolate, not into a chocolate much, but. Mm-hmm. I'd give it a thumbs up too. Pretty good, not bad. Okay, so the next thing that we have to try are- Is it the last thing? Is it the last thing? Mm-hmm. Okay, it is the last thing. The last thing that we have to try are the Palomitas, which are ketchup and mustard-flavored baked corn snacks. I can bet I won't like it. I can bet I won't like it. Why won't you like it? Mustard. Ketchup for me. Ha-ha-ha. And the puffy- Can I have some scissors please? Thank you. It's like a popcorn sort of look. Cheers. Doesn't taste like anything. It's like ketchup. I don't taste ketchup. But I could do without that. I give that one a thumbs down. Happy piece. You said it doesn't taste like anything. You give it a thumbs down. Ha-ha-ha-ha. I'm done with that. Yeah, that's not my favorite. So what was your least favorite thing out of this entire box? Uh, well, hmm. I didn't like the egg. Yeah. I'd have to review a few. I would say that was my least favorite thing. It tastes like a hard-boiled egg chip. I think it just tastes like an egg yolk. It tastes like a hard-boiled egg yolk. Have you ever had a fried egg yolk? Yeah. Okay, well, it tastes like egg. It's not good. And I like eggs. So what was your favorite thing? It could be this cookie thing with the... Which one was it? This one. Possibly. So that will be your favorite? I think so. So for me, I would have to say my favorite. I'm torn between two. You like this one? I really like that one a lot. And then I also really like this snack mix too. Oh, how about your green chips? I really like those too, but if I had to pick, it would probably be these. So anyway, I think that's it. Okay. Yeah, so thanks so much for watching. We hope that you guys enjoyed this video. If you haven't, subscribe to our channel. We hope that you'll do so.
