gundog4314 RCIR review question

Post by rationtin440 » Wed Dec 14, 2016 8:57 pm

Hello everyone :) . I have a question for gundog4314 about the French RCIR that you reviewed in which you mentioned that the sweet crackers had a very strong aftertaste. I'm curious if it was a strong aftertaste from some kind of artificial sweetener or if it was from any kind of spices in the crackers. Thanks and keep up the excellent reviews on youtube and elsewhere.

From personal experience, I have found that the crackers in the RCIR tend to "go bad" quickly! That aftertaste might have been just that = "bad crackers"!

I'm actually eating some right now. The sweet biscuits have a chocolate taste to them which is very pleasant but then the salt biscuits. These had a really weird aftertaste to them like it was burnt with a hint of salt. Even douching it with apricot jam could not mask that flavor. I only had one pack so far so dunno if its going like that for all.

I also have my issues with these French crackers since they changed them. They were "OK" before but now they are "odd" to me.

I like the French rcir sweet crackers, I find they have a mild chocolate graham cracker taste. But I also noticed an after taste, it was the same after taste I get with artificial sweeteners.
