Greetings one and all!

An international, "Jeux Sans Frontieres" style Food Count this week from 4000 feet up in the High Desert of New Mexico.
Desperate times require desperate measures and with 3 points desperately needed, I have selected for your counting delight 3 comestibles plucked from shelves of my local Latino supermarket.

They are :
La Chona Pickled Pork Skins in brine (14oz/396.9g)
Jaime's Premium Wheat Flour Cracklings (4 oz/113.4g)
Dried Hibiscus Petals for Hibiscus aka Jamaica tea (4oz/113.4g)

5 pts for guessing the slices and 5 pts for the liquid mls on the pickles (pieces larger than 1 cm)
5 pts for the wheat cracklings (whole or mostly whole)
5 pts for the hibiscus (leaves or pieces larger than 1 cm)
additional 2 bonus pts for an exact guess on any of the above

Count closes at 2pm on Saturday that’s 7am my time ughhh :lol:
