Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream Strawberry Cheesecake
I found the flavor of Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream Strawberry Cheesecake to be a little on the weak side. By that, I mean neither the strawberry nor the cheesecake flavors are quite as tasty as I had been hoping. The strawberry flavor is nothing like the double strawberry …
Winelife Professional Wine Preservation System
For anyone who enjoys cooking with wine, as I do, likely can relate to the issue of having opened bottles of wine losing their flavour and taste, and therefore either becoming undrinkable, or be too sour-tasting to cook with properly. While I must admit that I rarely have the …
Dulcelin Gourmet’s Cannelloni and US Beef Belly Roast Beef
I have heard a lot of positive reviews about Dulcelin’s food and desserts and have tasted some of them for myself (Mango torte, lechon, etc) which were really good. This is why I decided to order some cannelloni and US beef belly roast beef from Dulcelin when I …
Twistos Baked Snack Bites Parmesan Garlic Flavor
In a previous review, I highly praised the asiago-flavored Twistos Baked Snack Bites. I felt the snack bites excelled when it came to both flavor and texture. Naturally then, I was excited to try the other flavors, in the hopes that they would be just as delightfully good. I …
Cadbury Drinking Chocolate (vegan)
I absolutely love hot chocolate. I even drink it during the summer, which, I think, proves how strong my feelings towards hot chocolate are. I usually make my own hot chocolate with cocoa powder and natural sweeteners, but every time I see a new drinking chocolate powder at the store …
Mehari’s cigars
One of the fields the Dutch have had a lead in for centuries is in tobacco products. I went to a school founded on the fortune made by a man who went to Holland to work in that business and who invested his riches in a school he founded …
Happy Harvest Canned Spinach
I decided to make chicken last night and, mostly because our supply of vegetables was starting to run a bit low, I ended up making a can of spinach from the brand Happy Harvest that we have had for a while.
I bought this particular brand of spinach because of …
Tesco 2 Chocolate Sponge Puddings
I have been into various chocolate puddings lately and I need to watch it or I will get fat. I spotted this packet of 2 Chocolate Sponge Puddings in the chilled section of Tesco today and, especially as it was only £1, I thought I would treat myself …
Tasty Bite Good Korma Simmer Sauce
I am a fan of Tasty Bite, so I picked up a package of their new simmer sauces to try out. I was surprised to find it at my local WinCo Foods, but glad because it was very inexpensive there, just a little over a dollar.
This one, Tasty …
Oxygen Imports Prince tahini
I love tahini, over the years it has become a staple in my diet.
I purchased my Oxygen Imports Prince tahini at Amazon.com. It comes in a pack of 4, this is the second time I purchased it from Amazon and the first time it came in …
Honeycomb cereal
Honeycomb cereal is a pleasantly sweet cereal which is crunchy and doesn’t really taste like honey at all. Some key features are that it is has low fat, 10 essential vitamins, and iron and zinc. It has 130 calories for 1.5 cups, which is a very reasonable amount. However, …
Great Value Wheat Crackers
Great Value is the store brand used by good old Wal-Mart, and they\’re products are usually pretty tasty (in fact often times they are the same stuff you’ll buy in the name brands, just in a different box), so I decided to give the Great Value wheat crackers a …
Wu Long Slimming Tea
Wu Long Tea vs. Oolong Tea- What is it? And does it really make you lose weight?
What is Wu Long/Oolong Tea?
Chinese Oolong tea is categorized somewhere between Green and Black tea. The difference is in the harvest process of Oolong tea leaves. Oolong is only partially dried, and not …
Lay’s Stax
I thought I’d try these the other day because I felt like eating something crunchy. I tried the cheddar flavour, for no particular reason.
I liked the flavour of the chip well enough, it was nice and a little bit cheddar-y without feeling really cheesy or getting orange powder all …
Cloverhill Bakery - Bear Claw
The Cloverhill Bakery - Bear Claw is something that I was only mildly satisfied in when I tried it. The reason I was not blown away with this pastry is in part due to me not being able to taste much almond flavor. That is, after all, the main …
Ilchester Applewood Smoke Flavoured Cheddar Cheese
I am always ready to try new cheeses so I sampled this Applewood Smoke Flavoured Cheddar Cheese by the Ilchester British Cheese brand. I bought a net of five 20g individually wrapped portions at Sainsbury’s. This cheese is simply delicious and you will love it if, like …
Columbia Spaghetti
As I mentioned in an earlier review, my wife and I decided to make spaghetti for dinner last night. Much like when it came to the sauce, we were limited on funds and had to rely on what we already had in our pantry to make dinner. And, fortunately, …
Hormel Compleats Spaghetti
Recently, I tried Hormel Compleats Spaghetti with meat sauce. I’ve always enjoyed Hormel products and feel it is a quality brand with a taste I enjoy. Since spaghetti is my all-time favorite food, and this promised a meal in 90 seconds, I just had to try it.
The …
Garden of the Andes Organic Rosehip Herb Tea
When I am about to catch a cold or feel the flu coming on I like to drink Garden of the Andes Organic Rosehip Herb Tea. It contains high amounts of vitamin C and helps boost the immune system so it can prevent or help fight off the cold …
O’Hara’s Raspberry Jalapeno Jam
Ohara’s Raspberry Jalapeno Jam is the very best jam I have ever tasted. I bought it at a craft show in Albuquerque for the first time and absolutely love it. It is actually made in Durango, CO, but the family goes to craft shows and fairs to allow …
Wendy’s Ice Cream
It’s getting close to spring time and spring and summer bring hot temperatures. When it gets that hot it’s time to find something to cool you down. Wendy’s new frosty float is the perfect option on those hot days to do just that. Wendy’s restaurants have their own version …
White King Classic Puto Steamed White Cake Mix
White King is a brand for cake mix in my country. It is manufactured by RFM Corporation, the same food brand which manufactures Swift Hotdogs and Selecta Ice Cream. This cake mix is for “puto cheese”. The food “puto” is simply a cake delicacy. The cake is purely white, …
International delight: Almond Joy Creamer
As a coffee drinker I like to use liquid creamer instead of the standard powdered version of it. For the simple fact that its blends better than the power does. Not only does it blend better but it at times sweetens the coffee, enhances the flavor or better yet …
Giada De Laurentis for Target Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto
Giada De Laurentis is one of my favorite Food Network stars, so I was really excited to try out her line of sauces and oils at Target. While I am a big fan of most of them, this sun-dried tomato pesto is definitely not one I will be buying …
Ozarka Natural Spring Water
Ozarka Natural Spring Water is a good, bottled water. Not the best bottled water that I drink, but better than tap water out of the facet, and definitely better than most competing brands. Some people don’t care for Ozarka Natural Spring Water, including members of my family, but I …
Maxwell House Classic Roast Instant Coffee Granules
I used to think that Maxwell House instant coffee was generally of a reasonable standard but this particular instant coffee in their range is rather poor quality. I have to admit, this was incredibly cheap from a bargain supermarket I visited recently for only £1 for 100g and …
Santitas White Corn Tortilla Chips
Santitas White Corn Tortilla Chips make me wish that I would be more daring when I shop for chips at the store. My sister loves tortilla chips and she’s always buying them and then bringing me the remnants. Recently, she brought over a bag of leftovers from …
Millville Chocolate Crispy Oats Cereal
The Millville Chocolate Crispy Oats Cereal comes in an eleven point twenty-five ounce box for two dollars and nineteen cents at ALDI Food Market stores. They taste very much like the General Mills Chocolate Cheerios. While a box of the General Mills Chocolate Cheerios costs around two dollars and …
Rice-A-Roni: Creamy Four Cheese Flavor
In winter my thoughts turn to comfort food. I’m not much of a cook, so quick and easy, box type foods are great for me. I love Rice-A-Roni and the Four Cheese flavor is my favorite. The cheeses are cheddar, parmesan, romano and blue cheese. Yum!
I like the fact …
Rankin Irish Potato Farls
I spotted these potato —˜farls’ in Tesco at a reduced price of only 20p, reduced from the usual price of 81p. I have never eaten a farl before but I like trying new food and these sounded tempting as on the wrapper it says they are great toasted …
Diet Dr. B
Visit just about any grocery store, and you are bound to find their own store brand generic rip-offs of main stream products, especially when it comes to sodas. Diet Dr. B is another: it is H-E-B’s store brand of the popular soda, Diet Dr. Pepper.
It is rare that …
Lumberg Wild Rice Cakes Lightly Salted
When you have a soy allergy, it is very hard to find something to snack on that is safe to eat. Well, these wild rice cakes fit the bill as they only contain a few ingredients, mainly rice and sea salt. I admit I never ate rice cakes before …
Pepperidge Farm’s Goldfish Baked Snack Crackers
The Goldfish Baked Snack Crackers is a product by Pepperidge Farm.
I know that sodas can eventually be added to dishes to spread out flavor but I didn’t know crackers can actually be a match to spice up the flavor on dishes. I was really surprised when my friend bought …
Tangerine Mango Madness Blow
Charms Blow Pops have long been a favorite of mine. I love the taste of the candy on the outside and working my way down to the gum on the inside. The gum itself usually doesn’t last nearly as long as the candy, but it’s still pretty good. I …
LA COOL Chocolate
It was around 9 o’clock in evening yesterday when I felt a sort of craving for some sweets after my hearty meal at a japanese restaurant with some friends. We dropped by at a “MINI STOP” convenience store and saw this LA COOL Chocolate. Since I cannot stand my …
Sainsbury’s Basics Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce
Baked beans in tomato sauce are about the most basic of all basics when it comes to British cooking, since we eat far more baked beans than just about any other country in the world. Sainsbury’s budget “Basics” range therefore carries a fairly good selection of similar products, but …
Pillsbury prepackaged Chocolate Chip Coolies
I am definitely a huge chocolate chip cookie lover. Ironically, the only pre-packaged refrigerated cookies that I’d ever bought were Nestle or store bought from Kroger. I decided to pick up Pillsbury cookies because they were on sale. This is one of those brands that …
Best Choice Hickory Smoked Kielbasa Sausage
I love to use kielbasa sausages in a variety of casseroles, soups and stews. I also use these sausages when I make some of my specialties like red beans and rice. One problem is that I often pay more than three dollars for higher priced brand of this food. …
Siomai House Dumplings
Don’t you just love eating dimsum meals? Well, I do love to eat them and I enjoy them as much as any other Chinese national would. I always have the taste for the dumplins, buns, and siomai as they call it in Chinese restaurants. There are over 10 siomai …
Jeniper
Jeniper is a healthy drink which is very good for us to drink. It is made from Calamodine, sugar, and water. Now that it doesn’t contain chemical dye and preserving substance, we do not have to worry about our health. I really like drinking Jeniper. It will taste …
Mrs. Freshley’s Jelly Swirl Honey Bun
I think I prefer Mrs. Freshley’s Jelly Swirl Honey Bun to the plain honey bun variety because I like that there are more flavors to be tasted and enjoyed than with a typical honey bun. Unfortunately, this version of the honey bun also happens to be even sweeter, so …
Purefoods Beef Hotdogs
Hotdogs have been a staple food for breakfast for so long now. I remember when I was young when I really love to have hotdogs for breakfast, for morning snacks and even for midnight snacks. I love eating it because it gives you that comfort and unparalleled satisfaction of eating …
Hershey’s Mini Kisses Chocolate Chips
I love to bake and most recipes call for semi-sweet chocolate chips. But I soon began to run across recipes which used milk chocolate chips instead and I went looking for a package of these in the baking section, having a hard time finding them in the smaller grocery …
Wrigley’s Extra Wildberry Frost Gum
Hail be to Wrigley’s for creating a fabulous new sugarfree gum! The Extra Wildberry Frost is awesome! It obtains fruity characteristics without making you feel like you are chewing a sugarball of bubblegum! It is light and crisp, refreshing, and although it does not obtain a …
Oishi Caramel Popcorn
Since getting butter popcorn that I can put in the microwave, I have wanted to try the readymade pre-packed popcorn to be bought in supermarkets. I was looking for either butter or caramel, and then if found Oishi Caramel Popcorn. I only tried to buy a small bag of …
Taco Bell’s Volcano Taco
When I hear the word Volcano I think of extremely hot lava that could burn anything before it even touches it, so when I bit into Taco Bell’s Volcano Taco for the first time I felt like someone had lied to me. The taco was not hot at all, …
Noel Saltin Crackers
I’ve never really thought of myself as a fan of crackers, especially salty ones, but I have to say that eating Noel’s Saltin Crackers can be quite addictive. I’m enjoyng some right now in fact as I’m writing this, and am forcing myself not to reach into the bag …
Maxwell House Half Caff Original Roast Coffee
I have already tried Maxwell House before as a coffee brand. That was the flavored variety. I always love flavored coffee during ordinary days but there that days when you really want a high doze of concentrated caffeinated coffee to perk you up. Sadly, when I tried this, I was …
Popcorn, Indiana Original Movie Theater Popcorn
This is a great treat to eat when I want a good old-fashioned popcorn that has a nice blend of butter and salt. I guess that’s why this Indiana company refers to it as movie theater popcorn. I heard that if you eat popcorn by itself with no butter …
