Sunnyside Vanilla Sandwiches
Sunnyside Farms produces a lot of foods for Bel Air Markets. Sometimes they do well, and sometimes not so well. After purchasing their vanilla sandwiches over many years, I can firmly say that these sandwiches are simply okay.
I purchase Sunnyside Farms vanilla sandwiches because they are economically …
Jelly Belly Halloween Gummy Teeth Candy
Jelly Belly Halloween Gummy Teeth Candy is a treat that I mildly enjoyed, although it is quite unlikely that I will purchase it again come next Halloween season. I realize that these treats are supposed to be gummy, but I did not think that they would be gummy to …
President’s Choice Extra Rich Hot Chocolate Mix
I’ve long been a firm believer that in most cases, food items do not vary much from brand to brand and therefore, the variables I employ are usually price, flavour, fat content or size. Manufacturers usually use much the same ingredients, so the taste of the product varies little. …
Kraft Mac & Cheese Spiral macaroni
I am a lover of instant food. I do not cook much, so instant foods are my loyal companion, especially at night.
One of the instant food I love is Kraft Mac and Cheese, spiral macaroni. I love them! I just have to add milk and butter. …
McDoanld’s Double Cheese Burger
One of my favorite items on the dollar menu at McDonald’s is the McDonald’s Double Cheese Burger. This is a great burger that tastes really good and is very cheap. I only spend 1 dollar and I get pretty full with one of these burgers. I really like the tastes …
100 Grand candy bar
Recently, I purchased one of those candy combination packages that you find at a warehouse store. These are great values as a rule and that’s why I tend to buy them from time to time. This particular one included a few 100 Grand candy bars, which is …
Budweiser Chilada
The Budweiser Chilada has to be one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever heard of in my entire life. Technically this is a name given to beer with a lime flavor, but for some reason Budweiser completely changed that recipe. Their version contains clam juice and tomato juice …
Layered Mocha Cake
Layered Mocha Cake is purely yummy and very delicious. I really love the taste and a normal Mocha Cake that I usually buy would have a nice aroma of coffee smell mostly.
I have been a food tester before and I know a good food when I taste and smell …
Gorton’s Grilled Salmon
One of the items that is available in the frozen foods section at most stores is Gorton’s Grilled Salmon. Obviously if you are not a fan of sea food you will not like this product, however, Gorton’s Grilled Salmon is an excellent dinner item. I would say …
Lindt Excellence chocolate
Iv never been a big chocolate eater, although I do love chocolate and I like the occasional treat. I usually buy cadburys but just a while back when I was out shopping I decided to try a bar of Lindt Excellence milk.
It had always caught my eye while …
Ben and Jerry’s Cake Batter Ice Cream
I was intrigued by this cake batter ice cream and very curious about what it would taste like. It was released in 2008 as part of Ben and Jerry’s 30th “birthday” celebration (more like an anniversary, really).
Lately, I’ve become very interested in these ice creams whose flavors are actually …
Ainsley Harriott Tomato & Mascarpone Risotto
Good old Ainsley Harriott. This caught my eye in the supermarket as I was looking for something quick I could quickly whip up to eat when I got back from the supermarket and this Tomato & Mascarpone Risotto with Ainsley’s smiling face on it sounded pretty tasty and …
Arabian Mocha Sanani Coffee
When looking at the starbucks menu of whole bean coffe, arabian is by far the most exppensive, costing almost 150% the cost of the otehr coffees.
So why so expensive?
Arabian Mocha Sanani is aa complex coffee, with so many different berry and herb flavors hitting your tounge, your swear you …
Skittles Strawberry Ice Cream Flavored Candy
I recently purchased bag of Skittle that contined a special limited edition Strawberry Ice Cream Flavored Candy. I was a little skeptical about ehtehr or not the candy would in fact taste like Ice cream. I think that it does. A lot of “ice cream” flavored candy tends …
Tang Juices and Iced Teas
Tang no has a new taste. They used to only offer powdered fruit drinks. Now they have more than juices, they also have iced teas, and flavored iced teas like strawberry or apple iced teas or the red iced tea. They are not the original to have flavored ice …
Stouffer’s Harvest Apples
Stouffer’s Harvest Apples make for a relatively delightful side dish or after dinner treat. The reason I use the word “relatively” is because I believe that these apple slices could stand some improvement. Where the improvement could be made is in the flavor. There is not a great deal …
McVities Chocolate Caramel Digestives
While I was out shopping recently I saw McVities Chocolate Caramel Digestives on sale at half price because they were a few days away from the “sell by” date. I decided to try a package and boy, I wish I had bought more!
McVities Chocolate Caramel Digestives are wheatmeal biscuits …
Peter Pan Creamy Peanut Butter
This is the best peanut butter I have ever tasted. Many people say that you can’t tell the difference between different kinds of peanut butter but that is not true. Different companies use specific ingredients to make their product taste unique. That is what the Peter Pan brand does. …
Silk Soy Creamer Original
Eliminating dairy from your diet is a good way to reduce fat and cholesterol intake. I successfully eliminated all dairy from my diet about a year ago except the half and half in my morning coffee. I look forward to my morning coffee too much to sacrifice …
Franck 3in1
Lately I go nuts about instant coffee drinks, I really don’t know if that’s because I am just too lazy to prepair a real coffee because it is much easier to prepair an instant one or just because these instant coffees are always more delicious. Yesterday I went to …
National Golden Cheese Sandwiches
I’m usually very skeptical about trying cheese sandwiches biscuits, epecially some of those local ones, since pretty much all of the locals ones I had tasted, tasted a bit odd to me and I disliked them. However, when I saw a small pack of National Golden Cheese Sandwiches last …
Blue Bunny BIG Neapolitan Ice Cream Sandwich
Blue Bunny BIG Neapolitan Ice Cream Sandwich is not really big on flavor, unfortunately. None of the three flavors here, the vanilla, chocolate or the strawberry really succeed in standing out in any way. I have had delicious vanilla, chocolate and strawberry from Blue Bunny before, and unfortunately, that …
Kaujam
Kaujam is a name of a rice. It is a popular food in South Thailand. But I tried the Kaujam in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. As it is just border of South Thai, hence some of their food inherit the South Thai style.
I love the Kaujam very much. …
Del Monte Tomato Catsup Original
I love the Del Monte Original Tomato Catsup. Given a choice of the available catsup brands in the market, I would choose Del Monte Tomato Catsup. It is manufactured by a company that is know to produce quality food products.
The catsup comes in sachet, medium sized and …
Zero Impact
Agreeably, staying in great shape is not a walk in the park. That’s why I’m delighted when my mom brought home some protein bars that she recently bought.
I thought to myself that the protein bars would be good alternatives to my regular meals, which are normally rich in carbohydrates …
Shana Vegetable samosa
I’ve bought this Shana vegetable samosa from Tesco supermarket one time when I prepared a birthday party for my son. Since I’ve decided that every food that I have to prepare for that day will be finger foods I’ve chosen to have some vegetable samosa since I am …
Oligo Cereal
Oh my god Oligo now has cereal product!
I had always been in love with Oligo’s product, especially it’s cocoa drink. I think Oligo’s products are great, they are simply tasty. So I’m really glad that Oligo is now offering cereal product since I am …
Kellogs Krave Chocolate chip
I’m really picky when it comes down to breakfast food, if isn’t the traditional items like eggs, bacon, sausage or hearty cereals…etc, I won’t touch it. Kellog Krave chocolate chip is a chocolate cereal that looks like small smooth captain crunch squares with chocolate on the inside. Its like …
Quorn 2 Crispy Fillets (vegetarian roast chicken)
If I fancy a (vegetarian) meat and vegetables type dinner I often look to the Quorn range of meat-substitute dishes and I usually like them. The last two nights I have had one of these crispy fillets - which are like fillets of roast chicken —“ and they …
Land O’ Lakes Cocoa Classics Hot Chocolate Supreme
Land O’ Lakes Cocoa Classics Hot Chocolate Supreme, for me, is the tastiest and most satisfying hot chocolate mix that I have come across in the grocery stores. In the dreary and cold winter months, this hot chocolate really does wonders for my spirits. The cocoa flavor is rich …
Multi Choice All Dressed Chips
Multi Choice All Dressed Chips have a couple of good things going for it, but I really cannot say that it is superior to some of the other chips that are on the market right now. For one thing, while I am happy to note that these chips are …
Meijer House Blend Instant Coffee
Many people who are serious coffee devotees shun instant coffee. And for the longest time, I understood why. However, when I purchased this store brand of instant coffee for the first time to use in a recipe, I wasn’t sure what else to do with it besides trying to …
Baby Ruth Candy Bar
One chocolate brand which I think is older than I am is Baby Ruth. I grew up seeing my Mom biting this candy bar oftentimes and from her did I learn to like Baby Ruth too. When I see my mother unwrapping a bar, I’d run to her …
Pampa and Special K Cereal Bars
I’m always looking for low priced groceries that my family will actually eat. I also look for convenience items to keep on hand because of our busy schedules during the day. So I thought we’d try cereal bars to prevent being late for appointments or just a quick snack. …
Nalley’s Garlic, Dill & Onions Petites
Nalley’s “Garlic, Dill & Onions Petites” are a very good small pickle with lots of flavor that are available for a pretty good price. I think they are very similar to their, more expensive French cousins, the cornichon, but are more readily available and usually about half the price.
I think …
Hunt’s Chunky Vegetable Spaghetti Sauce
I was not particularly wowed by “Hunt’s Chunky Vegetable Spaghetti Sauce” and actually, I was rather disappointed when I took a taste of this spaghetti sauce along with my pasta. I must say, I don’t quite know where they got “chunky” from, because I didn’t see any chunky …
Duncan Hines Family Style Brownies: Chewy Fudge Mix
The holiday season is under way, and that means that my holiday baking has just begun. This year, I will be sending my family and friends gift boxes full of brownies, made from the Duncan Hines Family Style Brownies: Chewy Fudge Mix. These were a great deal, …
Clancy’s Honey Wheat Pretzels
Clancy’s Honey Wheat Pretzels come in a thirty-two ounce container for just under four dollars. The pretzels are thin and short in shape. I purchased a container of these pretzels for New Year’s Eve to have out for friends and family to snack on, among other snacks. They were …
Hostess Donettes Maple Glazed Mini Donuts
Hostess Donettes, like a number of other Hostess products, have been around for quite awhile. That tells me that enough people enjoy them and purchase them for Hostess to keep shipping them out to stores. I personally have never been what one would consider a fan of the mini …
Sam’s Market (Berkeley, CA next to campus)
One of my favorite places hands down to go eat at in Berkeley. There are very few people who I have also talked to that disagree that Sam’s is an amazing store. Being brought onto the crucial telegraph space next to Walgreens a few years ago, it is one of …
Wendy’s 3/4 lb. Triple Burger with Cheese
Wendy’s 3/4 lb. Triple Burger with Cheese is just too much meat for me! I tried this burger just once and after I was done, I just felt so bloated. I even had a little trouble taking bites into this sandwich because it was so thick. I also found …
Indocafe Coffeemix 3-in-1
I can’t take coffee. If I do, I get migraines. Coffee is very strong for me and I usually take my daily dose of milk tea. One afternoon I ran out of tea in the office and my colleague let me have a packet of Indocafe Coffeemix 3-in-1. I …
Jimmy Dean Muffin Sandwiches
This is yet another Jimmy Dean product that I purchase a great deal — Jimmy Dean Muffin Sandwiches. The product is also available as a croissant, but I’ve never tried it.
The muffins are made with sausage, egg, and cheese. It’s ample size, so makes a filling meal. …
Barilla Tri-Color Bow Tie Pasta
I like to eat a lot of pasta, and through my many travels down the pasta aisle have decided that the barilla bow tie pasta is one of the best. This tri-colored pasta is white red and green, with pasta that is supposed to have a spinach and tomato …
Kraft Manhattan Gummi Land
I purchased these sweets for my kids who deserve the occasional treat once they finished their homework. My oldest daughter is particularly hooked on sweets. As I saw it was from Kraft I thought they must taste good. I also looked at the see through cellophane and thought it …
Garden of Eatin’ Blue Corn Tortilla Chips
I am totally hooked on these chips. We gave them a try on a whim, and we liked them so much we have begun to buy them about once every week. We buy ours at Earth Fare grocery store, but I’m not sure what other stores sell them. Even …
Little Debbie Snacks Zebra Cakes
Little Debbie Snacks Zebra Cakes offer a welcomed change of pace from all the chocolate snacks and dessert items in the grocery store today. Now, there is some chocolate to be found on these cakes - they are called Zebra cakes after all - but the amount of chocolate …
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 …
Haribo Happy Cola Gummy Candy
I don’t usually indulge in sweets. And, I almost never drink soda anymore. I was shopping in the snack aisle of my local drugstore for something to munch on during my walk home. Somehow, this stood out to me amongst the other candies. I guess I’ve always liked unusually …
