This is my first time participating in this fun exchange idea, Foodie Penpals. The idea is to send and receive a foodie care package of around 15$. Actually it has a lot of similarities with my old defunct program The Foodie Exchange where people chose each other. In the Foodie Penpals case the assigning is done for you and everyone posts on the same day. Person A is assigned to person B (me). And person B (me) is assigned person C. They match you up with people in your country. There are now over 1000 participants.
My first exchange was with Lisa who unfortunately does not have a blog so I can’t link her up. But still I want to send Lisa a big thank you. She is from Calgary and obviously a snack fiend! Here is what I got!
– Two items for a sweet tooth like me:
- Taste of Nature California Almond Valley bar
- Tunnocks Bûche Caramel roasted coconut coated wafers
– A box of Celestial Seasonings Madagascar Vanilla, a Rooibos tea. Rooibos is one of my favorite teas so I really enjoyed discovering this product.
– A big selection of salty treats from Joe’s Tasty Travels:
- Deluxe Emperor’s choice Rice Cracker Mix
- Cajun Jazz Mix with nut, sesame sticks and toasted corn
- Spicy Caribbean Plantain Chips (my favorite item of all)
– And finally, Palace Deli Dry Roasted Edemame

You got some fun, fun stuff! Very cool 🙂
receiving a package of goodies from someone in a different city/country sounds like so cool! have fun snacking 🙂
That sounds like so much fun!
Evelyne, thanks for stopping by my kitchen 🙂 I apologize for not having the English version yet, I’m running late with my translations due to all the come and go Brazil X Korea. Check back in a couple of days, I’ll try my best to catch up on my translations 🙂
This is actually a great way to try something new. I’m a kind of person who eats same snack all the time because I can’t get out of the comfort zone… unless someone pass some new snack to me, I’m reluctant to change (how bad, huh?). Enjoy snacking on these delicious gifts!
I meant LOVING..not LOBING lol
What a fun pacakge of goodies..I’m lobing the dry roasted edamame! I would love to take part one month 🙂
