Notes

Schnauz's notes

“This treasure takes a sophisticated palate to appreciate. First, a salty- sweet sauce is put atop some kind of white foodstuff. It's then fried and topped with a thin black layer of... paper? It sounds awful, but it tastes wonderful. Surprising in the best way!”

Olimar's notes

“It's sweet...but not too sweet. Salty... but not overly so. It tastes like something a more refined palate would appreciate. Perhaps belonging to someone whose tastes were developed over the course of many years.”

Louie's notes

“A crunchy and uncomplicated treat.”
