Pesach Food Spotlights - Bissli

Bissli Party Smokey Flavor SnacksToday's Pesach Food Spotlight falls on that little Israeli snack food that could, Bissli - Smokey Flavor!

For those unfamiliar with the popular Israeli snack food line, Bissli is Israel's answer to the Potato Chip. Available in all shapes, sizes and flavors, the hard-hats over at the Osem factory must have worked well into the late afternoon to come up with the substance used as the basis for all Bissli snack "foods". Their unique coarse texture, saturated in delicious Palm Oil, combined with the unmistakable crunch (and subsequent jaw ache) that accompanies every bite, make Bissli a must-try for any serious aficionado of Middle Eastern cuisine. The Smokey Flavor comes in tube shapes, which, upon mastication, collapse quite nicely, causing little gum or palate damage (as opposed to Pizza Wheels, which should not be allowed on airplanes). One would be wise to adhere to the warning emblazoned on all Bissli food products: "Protect from Sun." We're still trying to figure out if they mean the food, or those that ate the food.

So check out Bissli products; "Kosher for Passover, and all year round!"

Stay tuned for more Pesach Food Spotlights, from my lunch.

Yes they are awesome. The only drawback is that you get about 5 pieces of bisli per bag. (ok, so I'm exxagerating, but the bag really feels empty when I opened it).
