Q: What's the deal on those giant rice crispie-type cakes that the Uighur sell?

I'm sure it isn't rice crispie, but it looks like it. It's also covered in dried fruit and nuts. Anyone tried it, any good? I'm too scared to find out for myself.

They're not bad. Kind of thing you eat for a minute, then spend the next five picking your teeth. PS: What the Hell's an Uighur? Aren't they those big buggers out of Lord of the Rings?

Almost like the infamous fruitcake, but tastes better in my opinion. It's chewy as hell and like Martian wrote, it sticks in your teeth like crazy, but I rather like it.

You mean "shaqima- 沙奇马“？

Yeah they are ok, but mostly are deep fried. Not really a better substitute to good old rice crispy squares. I'd enjoy a nice rice crispy square right now (but I can't).

Afraid to try, come on you're in China just buy one (they're really cheap) and take a bite. If you don't like it just bin it or give it to a homeless person!
