Default LeeLee haul

Couple of Lee Kum Kee sauce flavors. A nice trout. Some
baby bok choi. Beer. A can of crab in spicy frying sauce.
A burro banana:

About the length of a medium banana, but twice as thick,
easily. Like a short, yellow plantain. Tastes like an
unsweetened banana. Even moreso than a plantain does.
In my experience (and I keep trying 'em), the only
variation on the banana formula that is truly sweet is
the banana itself.

Honestly, the stuff I didn't get was more interesting:

Moth Flour. Really said it was made from something
recognizable on the label, but I forgot to write it
down.

Frankincense (non-edible). Little pink crystals.

Water Giant Bug Essence. No indication of what this
really was.

Grape Sugar: The nutritional label said: Sugars: 0g.
Funny me. I thought dextrose was a sugar.

Puffed rice: this was interesting because it was packaged
in a heat-sealed plastic bag that was trademarked to the
store itself, with that address. No ingredients list or
nutritional info. I'm thinking they bought a huge bag
and repackaged it themselves. Or bought it unlabeled and
realized it too late. Just puffed rice. Four other brands
right next to it. But does it suggest they're going to
start self-branding more?

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.......I HATE bugs. This reminds me of the
first home visit that I did for Habitat......I came home and showered for
about 30 minutes.

Looking at those and thinking about that visit still makes me cringe!
