Hi, i'm wondering if the International snack exchange is gonna happen this year? If Gwyndolium can do it again this year that will be great!
If not, maybe i should have the honour to run it :3 if he don't want to do it?
If it happens, then i'm gonna bring Turkish snacks to sample out for you guys ;)
-
Would be nice to have. I missed it last year, but the year before I really enjoyed it.
If the event will be run again this year, I will try to participate.
-
I'm always up for this! We'll be arriving directly to EF, so now there's less trouble with the food storage, too.
-
Yes! I've been in these every previous years and it's been really nice event. Eating, tasting new foods, chatting with people :) I surely bring something.
-
I would also be interested in this happening again :9
-
i am also up for it! :)
-
Sounds like fun, but I don't think Norway has anything exciting to offer xD

I'm sure you have sweets and maybe some local (non-alcoholic) drinks :) Or local cheese, or local... anything! :D
-
It's not like I have a choice anyway as they will put it in the booklet no matter what haha.
Probably will do it again but want to speak to the charity to see if we can arrange something this time.
So Pinky if you are reading this I'll probably be poking you very soon about it ;)
-
I'm up for this me too.
I'll bring something more than what I brouhgt last year.
Any particular request about italian's snacks?

For those of us unfamiliar with what Italy offers in the way of snacks, perhaps you might provide a list of popular snacks with details for each, such as:
1) What is it called
2) What is it like to eat (is it crunchy, salty, chewy, sweet, bite-sized, bar, biscuit, wafer, etc).
3) What is it made of (primary ingredients).
-
Beeing partly italian, I would like to bring along the same stuff I brought two years ago:
- Fonzies (delicious corn/cheese puffs)
- Chinotto (non alcoholic herbal drink, like Jägermeister without alcohol)
-
- Chinotto (non alcoholic herbal drink, like Jägermeister without alcohol)
I live close to Italian border but I've never heard of it. It would be interesting to try.
-
Btw, is this supposed to be sort of a buffet where people can walk around and sample?
-

No, the idea is that it's a place where people can share food from their culture with other people who do the same and enjoy doing so.
It's about tasting small bits or sip small drinks and is in no way a replacement for dinner or lunch neither should it ever be.
Hope this helps :)
-
- Chinotto (non alcoholic herbal drink, like Jägermeister without alcohol)
Chinotto is always welcome! :)
-
I would like to join this too, and Norway does have a thng or two to. I'll see what i can bring =3
Will it be written up in the conbook? I've never been to a snack exchange before XD
-
Have to remember to bring some interesting Canadian treats, maybe candied-salamon & coffee crisp :D
-
I will be back this year, and plan to bring some more of my tasty Saudi dates with me!
-
I actually brought some norwegian chocolate last year, but missed the event D:
But I'll try to bring some goodies again if this event comes back. :3
-
Last year, me and my friend brought Chinotto, cedrata, some amaretti, and some Other stuffs.
Unfortunately, seems like i wont get to bring panettone or pandoro this year.
-
Is this going to happen? I need to know
-
I got no idea. Just like the previous years nothing is really planned out. We were just given a room and everything kind of went it's own way.
Maybe somebody of staff can varify wether it's in the conbook again yes or no.
-
hi There,
1. Gwyndolium, are you the Panelhost Again?
&2. We have add it as Event again
-
The event kind of runs itself. The only thing that has to be done is some tables to be put down in the room so people can put their stuff down.
-
And Gwyn needs a minute for an opening speech :)
And maybe some tasting and commenting, before things go all kinds of chaotic ;)
-
Don't think that's needed per se *whistles*
I'm not the best host after all haha!
-
Still, it's kind of a tradition by now, isn't it? :)
-

Depends on how many people show up with food. I'll do my best but I can't promise I'll be the best host haha.
-
Aw, I think you did a great job so far :).
I will not bring fishies this year, promise ;).
-
I have alredy picked out what i am gonna bring x3
Different types of norwegian chocolate. Someone else from Norway might bring the same stuff i dunno. But im sure itll be eaten up XD
If you guys dont i will > 3 <
- Smash
- Melkesjokolade
- Melkehjerter
- Bamsemums
- Kvikk lunsj
Also, unsure if i should wear a fursuit or not while on the snack exange.
-
We're in the middle of thinking up things to bring this year — I decided I will bring favourites from the last years for sure, and we're trying to branch out a little bit.
What's already settled:
- Karaván (the smoked cheese everyone seems to love)
- Pannónia (another cheese)
- The rouge cheese from last year
- Traubisoda
What's not yet so sure:
- Túró Rudi (will require cooling)
- Sweets of any kind (please tell me if there's anything you know and would like to get your hands on)
- Traditional Hungarian bacon + cracklings (that might not be the correct translation for töpörtyű, but whatever)
-
Also, unsure if i should wear a fursuit or not while on the snack exange.
It's easier to cut and eat things while not in fursuit and it could mess up your fursuit too so I don't recommend it.
Also it's more a social event so being able to talk helps too :)
-
My hometown has a chocolate factory ;D which makes the decision what to bring along rather easy.
Is the event already scheduled to a specific time and day?

Hey, leave something for me to bring :p
-
Totally awesome :)
Canadians - bring Maple Syrup cookies pppllllleeeeasssssse :) I've not had them for close to 10 years :)
If I can get some Aussie products in time I'll be there for sure :)
Most likely Tim Tams (chocolate biscuits) and some kind of lolly like Minties.

Any (US?) furs willing to bring Cheetos Flamin Hot potato chips? ( http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_leosovNgEA1qc65oco1_400.jpg )
I had some of those when I was in the US about 5 years ago, and I'd love to taste them again.
I will bring stroopwafels and other dutch snacks myself. I believe potato chips with Paprika taste are pretty rare in the US?

I can see about grabbing a bag on my way to the airport, they dont sell it in canada but im leaving via the states
-
Might join! I have some still sealed Indonesian durian flavoured wafers I got from a friend which I could bring - if anyone's feeling lucky.
Is there an official time for this yet?

There is still lots u can bring ^^
Brunost dont go bad in room temperature unless its opened, so one of u should bring that. Same goes for fløtemysost. :3 But they do get soft and might get crushed easier.
just put it in the fridge at EF when u get there to have it optimal before the exchange.
Also, maby one of you can bring some norwegian potato chips, and you should look for Smørbukk. and remember there is chocolates like melkedrøm you can bring. =3
hope it helped u getting some ideas. ^^

If it's anything like durian, we shouldn't open the package indoors XD
(Bring it on :D)

Will bring German food instead ;).

When and where will this be? I cant find it at the timetable.

Friday 23rd, 12:00pm Panel Room 5 in the Magdeburg Salon area.
-
Dayum this event is getting out of hand! So many people attended this year that we will need a bigger room next year for sure!
Thanks everybody for making this event a big succes once again!
Keep rocking!
-
I think this is still one of the best small events in EF. Thanks to everyone who arranged this and brought something. So much good and different food and candies! But indeed this needs a bigger room next time :)
-
Also a big thanks to my boyfriend Tigersclaw for helping me out arranging the tables and trashcans and everything. Couldn't have done it without him <3
-
Next year I think I'll only bring brunost, that was all people wanted to taste at our table :p
-
It was really tasty :D
Always fun to try new things like cheese with honey, cheese with caramel flavor, plantain chips, etc...
Thanks for organizing it again, and I hope next year there will be a LOT more space for it :)

Well, it was the best ISE i've been to so far! :3
I was very pleased that most of the stuff i brought was eaten! (sorry to the other guys lol) ^^; my table was quite poplular and i really, really enjoyed that caramel goats cheese from Norway!! I WANT MORE! XD i can't get it here in the UK -_-
Thanx again to Gwyndolium and his bf Tigersclaw for hosting and helping out, but sadly Gwyndolium won't take credit for it XD
I hope we get a bigger room at EF 20 XD.......i'm sure we will, it's the Estrel after all! :P
-
I cant wait for ISE next year ^^ This year was a blast.
And yes we need a bigger room XD I will bring more random norwegian stuff. :P
-
By the way, thank you so much for bringing the leftovers to the staff room, I especially appreciated all the licorice :-D

also some candy was donated to the charity. Including some of the unopened norwegian stuff ^^
-
I just dumped a few bottles of Club-Mate there and had to dash due to staff duties, but yeah, the stuff that ended up in the lounge later was quite nice =)

Haha yea I was quite surprised you brought those in :)
We put some cups next to them and filled some up so people could give it a taste.
Thank you for bringing in.
-
Great as usual! I only tried half of what I wanted, but it was impossible to wolf down more ;D.
And I am glad that you guys enjoyed my stuff so much, makes me bring moooooooore next year :).
Thankies for setting this up!

I didn't go to the snack exchange, but I have tried Club-Mate, as some german coworkers brought some to the office some time ago... How can you drink that stuff? o.o

Bit of a running gag (or attempts to be) from last year, when the Daily Eurofurence made mention of the ISE and called the Hungarian ‘Negro’ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negro_%28candy%29) candy the ‘racist candy’.
-
May I suggest someone (from Germany) buys a few bottles of Waldmeister next year? The fursuiters are quite familiar with "Eurofurence Green" by now, but the non-suiters might not be. Judging by its popularity in the fursuit lounge, I'm guessing it might actually be quite a hit =)
-
If you're making this next year, I will see what Danish goodies I can find! :D or perhaps even make some myself xD I'm crazy about some christmas candy we have that's called havregrynskugler(oatmeal balls I guess is the English translation - it's sweet, though, despite the name!). It doesn't take too long to make, so I think it'd be possible I can make a batch of those and find something else, too.
-
I'd love to see this event again this year. It is always been lot of fun and good food :)

I'll make a new topic for EF20
