When I first read about this new product from Meir Beigel I could not imagine what it would actually taste like. The thought of
combining pretzels and Petit Beurre tea biscuits into one item seemed odd and
farfetched to me. I do enjoy mixing salt and sweet snacks but I couldn’t work
out how a tea biscuit pretzel would taste.
Meir Beigel’s Petiebagel are small, heart shaped “cookie
flat pretzels”. They come in three flavors: Vanilla, Cocoa and Cinnamon. I bought
the first two flavors to try. As soon as I put the first Vanilla cookie in my
mouth I understood the concept. It was exactly what they said it would be a tea
biscuit take on a pretzel. It’s mildly sweet like a Petit Beurre but very
dry and crunchy like a flat pretzel.
The cocoa flavor is very prominent in the chocolate flavored
Petiebagel but not too overpowering.
I keep going back and forth trying to decide if I like
the cookies or not. They are absolutely too dry and that I really dislike but,
I enjoy the fact that they are a fairly plain and not too sweet cookie. I
prefer to mix the two flavors (cocoa and vanilla) together when I snack on them
because I don’t like each flavor on its own for too long.
I think part of the reason this biscuit/pretzel combo
is so dry is the fact that they were trying so hard to make a low fat, low calorie
cookie. With each small baked heart shaped piece being only 4 calories I would say
they sort of succeeded.
Bottom Line: I
think it’s great that Meir Beigel are working so hard to try and develop low
fat, low calorie & low sugar snacks. I never would have thought of
combining a tea biscuit and a flat pretzel into on item but they did, and it
kinda sorta works. Yes, it’s way too dry, I think they need to change that. Yes,
at times I didn’t like it but other times I snacked on it I thought it was the
perfect; not too sweet biscuit I was craving. I guess “my jury is still out” on
this item. I’m not sure if I will repurchase it in the future. I may stick to
the classic tea biscuits or mildly sweet animal crackers when I want a plain
cookie and have pretzels when I want a dry saltier option.
