Credit: Liv Averett / Trader Joe's Copy this link to share with your friends! https://sporked.com/article/trader-joes-mini-taiyaki-review/ There’s a lot to love about the food offerings in Japan. Ramen at every corner. A sea of sushi bars. Wagyu up the wazoo. And freshly made taiyaki for dessert. Or for a snack. Or a pre-dinner appetizer.

Credit: Liv Averett / Trader Joe's Trader Joe’s is really giving life to the flavored popcorn game. It makes a lot of sense if you think about it. What better blank canvas is there than a bunch of plain popcorn kernels? Those beauts were made to be drenched in seasoning for your snacking pleasure.

Credit: Liv Averett / Trader Joe's It’s a very interesting time for Trader Joe’s to drop celebration cake pretzels. Have you seen what’s going on around us, TJ’s? Not really an environment that creates a celebratory mood. Maybe it’s more of a wishful thinking kinda vibe. Or maybe Joe is just hoping that these pretzels are the thing you’ll be celebrating.

For having such a complex flavor, fish sauce is shockingly simple. It’s essentially just the liquid that results from fermenting salted fish. But fish sauce truly is more than the sum of its parts. It has a wildly complex flavor that varies from brand to brand. And it’s essential for so many recipes (particularly Southeast Asian recipes). Seriously, there really is no such thing as a fish sauce replacement. Related: What Is Fish Sauce? An ExplainerBut what’s the best fish sauce?

Credit: Liv Averett / Lays I can’t say enough just how much Frito-Lay (maker of Lay’s, Doritos, and almost every other snack you love in the chip aisle) is doing this year. Every time I think we’ve covered it all there are more and more surprises. This time, Frito-Lay is gracing us with the return of the fan favorite promotion “Do Us a Flavor.” That means even more wild, new Lay’s flavors to snag.
