Salsagheti Gusanos Mango (candy “spaghetti” worms with tamarind sauce)

Leo | April 3, 2008

Salsaghetti — Sure, the duck *looks* cool, but is picoso really something to aspire to?We bought this Lucas product because it looked cool; unfortunately, our package was quite stale and disappointing. We wanted to like it, but since the “spaghetti” had the texture of real pasta which had had the misfortune of being overcooked and then left out for hours, it was hard to arrive at a favorable opinion. Although we should say that Catherine enjoyed the slightly sweet, slightly spicy sauce, Leo didn’t find anything redeeming about it. Perhaps if we had gotten a fresher package things would have turned out better but, as it was, it was a sweet and salty choking hazard.

This post was part of our Mexican Candy Shootout! series. You can find all the posts in this series here.

    Ate a ton of tamarind sauce in West Africa during my Fulbright Fellowship. It is an absolutely amazing garnish. Sorry this package didn’t deliver…
