I buy Aquamar Imitation Crab Meat for my crab salad. A 1.5 lbs plastic bag costs $2.82. As both the name and the price suggest, it is not real crab meat, it is made out of Alaskan Pollock. The taste is close enough to the real thing, maybe a …

I found Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream Mint Chip to be a decent flavor, although it is certainly not in my top five favorites. The mint flavor of the the ice cream really tastes like any other brand of mint ice cream, and that in itself is actually disappointing …

Roddenberry’s Northwoods: Butter-Maple Artificial Flavored Syrup is slightly better than the original syrup because this variety has a richer flavor to it, but still, it is not something that is worth the ridiculous price tag that comes attached to it. I can most definitely taste the butter flavoring that …

Pringles Select Potato Crisps - Parmesan Garlic features a flavor that is good, although could be delicious if improved. Neither the Parmesan nor the garlic flavors are quite strong enough for my tastes. Although I am not prepared to call them dull, the flavor is still not quite real …

I love when popular restaurants mass-produce an entrée or an appetizer for those of us who like to pinch our pennies every now and then. I’ve dined at the TGIF restaurants many times, and my favorite appetizer are the potato skins they serve. The potatoes have a tenderness to …

My mother lives with us and I do the grocery shopping. She has me buy prunes and I will admit I have started eating them too. My husband laughs at me, and thinks prunes are gross. To me, they taste like sweet candy. Mom is very picky about brands, …

Most chewing gums are either way too sweet, get “old” too fast, or taste very artificial. Wrigley’s has found a way to conquer all three of these chewing caveats by producing a line of gum called Orbit. The packs are small, cost in the neighborhood of a …

We did not actually buy the All Nuts Original Roasted and Salted Peanuts, but we got them when someone who we know returned from their long stay abroad. At first, the blue label had me fooled that it was actually a tin of Planters Peanuts, but it was …

Without fail, I begin each day with a hot cup of coffee. Over the years I’ve tried countless varieties and Folger’s Vanilla Biscotti is one of the best.
So many pre-ground coffees tend to dry out while they are on shelves in the grocery store or in …

I use Great Value Cream of Mushroom Condensed Soup mostly for cooking, although it tastes good just as soup as well. Campbell’s is still my favorite though, there is a slight taste difference, and it is less lumpy. But when it comes to casseroles, chicken, and stroganoff, the Great …
