Planet Pop Chicharrones

My baggage came a day late, so customs searched everything. I'm surprised they took issue with a hermetically sealed snack, but I guess it is meat.

I want to see a picture of the bag and where it is manufactured.

The bag says "Produced for Signa Grain Ltda, Carrera 68A #19-80. Tel. (571)2907520. Bogota, Colombia. Producto Colombiano.

www.signa-grain.com

If it is not available in Canada I would consider importing it. Per 16g snack, 12g protein, 2.5g fat, 0g carbs -- if the nutritional profile can be trusted. Delicious.

I'll see if the website has a photo.

Click on the Planet Pop icon on the website.

Incidentally, Monpi, I thought of you when I picked up a "copy" of Cafe Con Aroma de Mujer in Mexico for $10. I had looked for this all over Colombia and couldn't find it there.

I wouldn't mind. But seeing as customs seized them, I cannot. A 50g bag cost a dollar. I'm craving some right now.

I'd bet you can get them in the Southern US?

Bacon Curls sound good, but if Custom is going to get itchy about meat I need them to be in Canada already?

I have friends who RAVE about bacon salt.
