Ah Prague, with its pretty architecture, glorious Vltava river, streets, history and lively nights– definitely a great city to visit if you’re in Europe. While the food scene offered some interesting tastes including some really good duck, sausages, and soups, how were the pistachios in Kafka’s city? Let’s find out !
After the very sad experience of trying out pistachios in Vietnam, today we are reviewing two pistachios from the brand Trong Garden, found in both the countries of Laos & Thailand. The first pack of pistachios was found in a small store in the town of Viang Veng in Laos.

A clean and organized modern melting pot with interesting surprises if you wander around a bit. Back to our pistachios. First of all let’s talk about the packaging, where these pistachios come from and how […]

Pistachio review in Baja California ( SnackClub & Calisureño )
here are beaches and then there is Zipolite.
It is located in the south of the beautiful state of Oaxaca in Mexico. Laid back and tranquil, with strong waves with strong personalities that tumble you into an ecstatic and dreamful state and push you back to the soft golden sand bordered by impressive rock formations.
Today we review some pistachios picked up at a rest stop on the way to the unique city of Oaxaca.
