Tuk Tuk Box delivers a box of Southeast Asian snacks, treats and beverages. Submitted photo
One of the more interesting aspects of this job as editor of the food pages, is being invited to sample new products. During this pandemic year, the arrival of boxes at my door has certainly been more entertaining than one more Zoom meeting.
The contents have ranged from bottled camelsâ milk (probably best enjoyed in the desert) to Distelâs Turkey Meatloaf in a sous vide bag (tasty; you can find it at Whole Foods), from barbecued jackfruit (well, itâs virtuous) to a new brand of nut butters (Once Again, worth seeking out.)
