Sunflower Spök

Sunflower seeds are a pretty traditional Chinese snack. Drinking cups of tea while cracking roasted sunflower seeds is a favorite way to spend an afternoon in front of the TV or chatting around the table. Usually they are just made with salt and maybe five spice. When these "creamy" extra big ones came out a few years ago they became all the rage!

People also loved the old timey look of the packaging.

Salty! Five Spicy! Creamy?! Snappy!

Dressing Crisps!

These super crunchy crispy rice snacks are yummy! They're our favorite rice crackers. The Dressing Flavoring is also delicious, if slightly mysterious.

Crunchy! Salty! Crispy! Dressing-y!

Cracker Nuts!

I'm glad someone came up with an English name for these. For years I just called these peanuts with a crunchy coating "super crunchies." In Chinese they are called "fish skin peanuts." But they're not fishy!

They also have all kinds of crazy flavors now. Adobo is the favorite around the Spök-spök HQ.

Super crunchie! Salty! Peanut-y!

Kalles Kaviar!

Spök-spök and Spökelina brought Toofhairy Mini (who will hit the stores in a few weeks!) to IKEA in Brooklyn today.


They got some Kalles Kaviar, which is a Swedish delicacy for the refined palette. It's basically creamed caviar, and they got both the dill version and the cheese version.

Salty, fishy, dilly, and cheesy! Delicious!

Grade: A+!

Oh Toofhairy

Remember when Toofhairy said her favorite food was lasagna?

Now she says it's enchiladas!

We think she just loves anything with cheeeeeeese!!

Baron Broad Bean!

I think the broad (fava) bean often gets a bad rap.

These broad beans deep fried with garlic and salt are popular all over China. It's one of our favorite snacks here at Spök-spök HQ.

Crunchy! Salty! Garlic-y!

We had a problem with them disappearing so we set up a spy camera... guess what it caught?
