Kallo - Corn Cakes - 130g (Case of 6)

Healthy, yummy and fairly priced.

It's good for road trip to France.

I've tried Kallo rice cakes (being a bit of a rice cake enthusiast), and I like Kallo as a brand, so I purchased a couple of packs of these corn versions to try. The packs are standard as you find for most rice cakes; a plastic wrapped stack tied with a metal folding tag. The cakes are easy to pull out from the packet without breaking the edges off (pet hate). You don't need to tear the plastic wrapper, making the pack easy to reseal. Use-by is May 2021 on this batch so I would feel confident in a long use-by date if placing another order. As you might expect, these are much more like popped corn snacks (think wotsits without the cheese). The flavour is really very nice. There is a much stronger flavour than you get from the delicately flavoured rice cakes, and these corn cakes are nice with a variety of toppings or even with just a smidge of spread. The saltiness is subtle and well balanced. The only disappointment from these is the texture. They are less crisp than rice cakes, kind of chewy with harder pieces of corn in them. They also stick wonderfully well to the teeth. I felt that this was a slight let-down, especially as the chewy hard lumps of corn weren't too great to chew on. They were almost soft and stale textured, as if I'd left them out opened on the side for a few days. The flavour was not a stale one though so I assume that's the texture of a corn cake! Would I buy them again? Yes, I think the flavour makes them worth an occasional lunch or snack, but I think I prefer the humble rice cake for their overall crunchy and light texture.

I re-order all the time. Low calorie and I prefer to rice cakes - more crunch.

I love these. They have a slight taste of popcorn to them, but otherwise there very plain. However as a low calorie snack they are lovely and taste nice topped with something.
