Cheese Pollacky

I could spend days wandering the snack aisles in the Japanese grocery stores! Cheese Pollacky is another snack that we picked up while in Singapore. It's a cheese snack that does not need to be refrigerated, and is surprisingly tasty.





At first glance, it looks like small strips of dried cheese covered on two sides with a thin papery substance. I was told by a friend that the papery substance is actually dried cod. When eaten alone - it tastes like dry processed Brie with a slight fishy flavor. (Think of a firmer, "drier" version of the soft Babybell processed soft cheese wedges.)



When sampled with saltine crackers - the fishy taste is not as pronounced. But either plain or accompanied with crackers, I really enjoyed the Cheese Pollacky and will have to look for more the next time I go to an Asian or Japanese grocery store!
