I love anything squishy like a marshmallow, chalky like musk pencils, or really gummy chewy like Haribo gummy bears.
Anything with a tater-tot kind of structure- loose grains that get crispy on the outside but keep it softer on the inside.
Oh yeah!
Mochi!
I also like their flavour. Especially matcha and red bean. But the texture is really what I like them for.
Mmm yes!
Waterchestnuts.
Chicharron bulaklak. It’s deep fried intestinal fat or something like that. Ok it doesn’t sound too appetizing but when it’s fresh it’s so nice and crispy and melts in your mouth. Dip it in the vinegar to balance the oiliness and the texture+flavor combination is just amazing. Your arteries will hate you, but that’s ok every now and then.
Also makes me thing of droewors, which I absolutely love. I’ll have to give it a go!
Munching on crushed ice.
Any cereals that crunch. Also, fish roe. And watermelon. Honey roasted nuts. The list is very long but those are the first ones that come to mind.
Fish roe for me too! I love the pop.
Potato chips, cheetos puffs, gushers fruit snacks, twizzlers and kitkats are my go to food when I want textures more than flavor.
Ice cream. Flavors good, but more about the texture and temperature for me.
Wood ear mushrooms. They don’t have much flavor – a little olive oil can give them flavor – but they’re crunchy.
Agreed! I know them as black ear and think the same.
Jellyfish. Also tripe, especially in pho or a taco.
Ooh never tried either of these. I imagine they have a q texture? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_texture
I think tripas used in tacos is typically from small intestine whereas the tripe in pho is from the stomach. That said, when done right the texture of both are quite unique and pretty damn awesome. Undercooked or overcooked tripas though… yikes!
Cheeses that have almost a sandy texture
Twizzlers. I like that it has a good chew. A lot of people recommend me different kinds of licorice or say that twizzlers aren’t real licorice, but it’s not the flavor that I like. I don’t really care for the flavor of twizzler to be honest. I just like the consistency when I’m chewing on it.
Me too
Anything creamy and “fluffy”: cheesecake, tiramisu, pastry cream, even pudding with whipped cream folded in (like in ambrosia salad). Cream puffs are especially nice, having that soft filling inside a pastry, mmm…
Comunion wafers
I’ve been buying these “Coco rolls” snacks recently. They’re a crunchy flaky slightly sweet snack and I just can’t get enough of the texture of them. They taste good too, but it’s the texture that I crave.
Those are really great broken up over some yogurt.
I like them too for the texture!
