TUC Paprika crackers. I must write about these separately.

Jessica and Kaitlin bought these crackers in Budapest because paprika is a very popular spice in Hungary.

I loved them.

They were awesome.

I liked them so much I bought three packs before leaving Budapest: first for train, second for Vienna, third for Prague.

I had to use some self control to not eat a whole pack in a sitting. I’ll admit that I was proud of myself for arriving in Copenhagen with a whole pack left. I had such wonderful thoughts about these crackers and I was sad to be almost done with them. Even though, I liked them so much I offered some to my friend Tommy, another NU friend living in Copenhagen and also a fellow Chapino. At first, he declined but eventually he wanted to see if they were worth all my fuss.

Then Tommy broke my stomach’s heart with just a few words.

“I think they have MSG.”

Nooooooo. Sigh, no wonder I liked them so much hahahhaah. I couldn’t help it. Who could resist?

I asked google, “Why is msg so good?” so I could impart some knowledge but it told me all these random and contradictory things that aren’t worth repeating but basically, I will never see my paprika crackers the same again.

….I’m still super glad I had so much of them before learning the hard truth.
