Pass the Haggis!

Heard of Haggis?

Wikipedia describes it as such:

Haggis (Scottish Gaelic: taigeis) is a savoury pudding containing sheep's pluck (heart, liver, and lungs), minced with chopped onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and cooked while traditionally encased in the animal's stomach[1] though now an artificial casing is often used instead.

We’ve got Haggis and Cracked Black Pepper Chips in this week… from Ireland 🇮🇪!

Are you bold enough to get your paws on some?!?

How cool are these Rainbow Pixel gummies from Germany 🇩🇪!
We are open all weekend long and just fully stocked our store with lots of new goodies, including these!

Squid Games anyone?!?

Dried squid snacks are a popular snacking delicacy in many parts of Asia, particularly Thailand 🇹🇭 .

We haven’t carried many in stock… until NOW.
We weren’t sure how brave yinz guys were, but we are realizing you are the most adventurous customers EVER. ❤️

Anytime we get these fantastic ginger/lemon gummies from Germany 🇩🇪, they always sell out very quickly.
They are currently in one of our machines, and we’ve got about 20 bags left until we run out until next time. If you’re a fan of this type of flavor, come get your hands on one this week. Once they are gone, they are gone!

One of our drink machines is experiencing issues with the credit card reader not working. We are working with technical support to resolve this. However….It is still accepting cash! It takes 1 dollar bills, 5 dollar bills, and all coins except for Pennies. So please make sure if you’re taking a trip to see us this weekend, that you have a little extra cash for that machine! All other machines are fully operational with working card readers!!!

Lots of new products and long anticipated returns.. from Croatia, South Africa, India, Ireland, Ukraine, and more!!! Some are pictured below… we will update you on more later this weekend!

Thanks for your support Pittsburgh ❤️

I often get asked… “What is your favorite snack in the store?”
And that’s a very tough question to answer, as I’ve had so many.
But if you asked me what are the best chips I’ve tasted within the last couple of months…
I would hands down say my favorite so far in 2024 are these:

Truffle and Real Irish Butter Crisps
By Keough’s

From Ireland 🇮🇪

OMG 🫠🫠😵🤤🤤🤤🥴🥴🫠

In stock while supplies last.

Salted Caramel Twix, making their first time appearance in our store… from Germany 🇩🇪!

Are you a fan of Starburst candies?
These Ki-Ki Tutti Frutti chewy candies are from Croatia 🇭🇷
Similar to in consistency to Starbursts, they are chewy and fruity and delicious.
They come in four flavors strawberry, orange, lemon, and raspberry. They come individually wrapped like American starburst, and in a bag of 25 or so.
And unlike American candies, these do not contain artificial colors or high fructose corn syrup! These are made from real sugar, and all of the coloring comes from natural fruits and berries!
These are one of three different Croatian candies we currently have in stock. Including peppermint covered chocolates, and caramel with herb.
We never close… so come grab some for yourself, whenever you’d like!
