Tesco Crumpets
These crumpets from Tesco’s own range are very good value indeed at only 79 pence for a packet of twelve. Because I like to root around on the ‘reduced price’ shelves at Tesco, I managed to get a packet today for only 40 pence so I am even …
Envidia Green Tea Apple Flavor
I am starting to be a health freak. I monitor the nutritional facts of the foods I take in. Envidia Green Tea caught my attention by their commercial with the catchy line “One Two Zero”. One for having EGCG (Epigallocathecin Gallate), two for two times power of L-Carnitine and …
Blue Runner Foods
I don’t think I had ever tried Blue Runner brand products before moving here to New Orleans. It may be considered a local food that isn’t carried in other places. I’m not really sure. Red beans and rice wasn’t a local favorite in Florida, where I’m originally from.
Here, however, …
Entenmann’s Apple Puffs
I do not really care all that much for these Entenmann’s Apple Puffs. The reason I do not care for them too much is because they are pretty bland. The apple flavor is barely reminiscent of what real apples taste like. I do not know if they simply did …
Stouffer’s Sausage French Bread Pizza
Stouffer’s Sausage French Bread Pizza is not that hot. For one thing, the sausage looks like small pebbles. I do not like sausage that is cut up into super small pieces and then sprinkled on top of the pizza. That is not how I like my sausage pizza. I …
Adobo
Do you know what “adobo” is? It’s actually a Filipino dish which is a soy sauce based meat recipe. Does it good? Well for me it is cause I’m a Filipino and I grew up with it. People from outside my country may think this will be another scary …
Crystal Farms Grated Parmesan Cheese
When we decided to make spaghetti last night, I could have sworn we had all the ingredients already. However, we discovered, while making dinner, that we were all out of grated parmesan cheese. So, even though I did not plan on running to the store and spending money on …

Guinness has something good going on, not only with their world famous Guinness Draught Beer, but yet again with its lighter Guinness Harp beer. This beer doesn’t have quite the same bold taste as its brother beer but it still taste delicious and gives people an excuse to say, …
Tranquil’s Chicken Sandwich
I first had a Chicken Sandwich from Tranquil when I went there to get a burger and they had none. Instead all they had to offer was this simple yet delicious and filling chicken sandwich which came at a very reasonable price.
Tranquil’s Chicken Sandwich is basically a white flour …
Stouffer’s Cheddar Potato Bake
Stouffer’s Cheddar Potato Bake is a pretty decent side dish, although it is by no means perfect. By that, I mean the diced potatoes come across as not tasting fresh. if you have ever tasted boxed potatoes, I think you will discover that this potato bake shares a little …
7 Days Bake Rolls Onion
It says on the package: “Delicious bread crisps seasoned with onion”. And I have to agree with that statement. “Bake Rolls” is indeed delicious.
In my quest to limit my intake of chips, I switched to “Bake Rolls”. One package has approximately 90 grams of baked bread crisps. The onion …
Easy Pop Microwaveable Popcorn in Butterlicious Flavor
I love eating snacks while watching TV or movies. Sometimes I just grab a pack of cheese puffs but most of the time I love to cook microwaveable popcorn instead. I feel that the calories in plain butter popcorns are lesser than that of cheese snacks.
I walked around the …
The Better Chip Jalapeno and Sea Salt Tortilla Chips 2 oz snack size
I recently noticed the cafeteria where I work had started to offer more healthy options as side items. Specifically, I found The Better Chip Jalapeno and Sea Salt Tortilla Chips. I love jalapeno flavored chips but until now all that was offered were full fat potato chips. These are …

Kroger instant mashed potatoes with garlic
I am really happy with this product Kroger Instant Mashed Potatoes with garlic. For about $1.50 US you get two pouches of instant mashed potatoes, which have four servings each. These instant potatoes are not only delicious but also a nice way to make dinner a little less bland, if …
Diet Sunkist diet soft drink
Diet Sunkist is absolutely my favorite diet soft drink ever! It is amazingly similar in taste to the original Sunkist, but it has no calories! I highly recommend Diet Sunkist to anyone who is looking for a good tasting soft drink but does not necessarily want all of the calories …
Istanbul Express Lamb Doner with Rice
Istanbul Express is one of our favourite restaurant destinations in Hong Kong. They have a lot of authentic Turkish dishes such as Shawarma, Kebabs, Lamb, etc. However, I will just focus on one dish that they serve and this is my favourite: the Lamb Doner with rice meal.
This …

This is a large 10 oz bag that I bought at walmart. These are also sold at Target, Kroger, Brookshires, & most other grocery stores.
I would say …
Diginirio Pizzas
This is my all time favorite frozen pizza. When you eat it, it doesn’t even taste like a frozen pizza. I think it’s the best frozen pizza there is. They come in a different variety. I know they have supreme, and just pepperoni. I also know that they come …
Filipino Adobo
Rice is the staple food in the Philippines. And what goes perfectly with rice? I’d say adobo. It’s a native Filipino dish which is basically just meat (chicken or pork) cooked to simmer in a mixture of soy sauce and vinegar as well as some seasoning. Preparing it is …

Since being introduced, I’ve had the Dairy Queen Iron Grilled Classic Club Sandwich a few times. It looks and sounds good, so I’ve continued to try it because I love a really good club sandwich. The problem is that this isn’t really consistently good. It’s more …
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 …
Eggo: Apple Bake Shop Twists
Eggo: Apple Bake Shop Twists is a bland breakfast food that I did not enjoy too much at all. The reason that I did not enjoy these twists is because they offered up very little apple flavor! Yes, I can see the apple contained within the twists, and it …

Jell-o Instant Pudding - White Chocolate
Jell-o Instant Pudding - White Chocolate is a flavor variety that I do not quite care for really, especially compared to the traditional chocolate flavored pudding. The white chocolate does not quite have as rich of a flavor and is thus not as deliciously enjoyable as the chocolate pudding. …
Coca Cola
I am reviewing the popular soda, Coca Cola.
If you are not a large fan of soda, you probably wouldn’t like Coke, as it does have a pretty strong taste. Personally, I like it. It has a kind of fizzy characteristic to it, and I always drink Coke when I …

Visacar Chocolate
Sometimes I wonder if my folk are blind or just a little slow. Everyone knows the brand Ferroro Rocher, but is everyone aware of dupes? Yes dupes for chocolate. Crazy, I know, but I came across this brand called Visacar, who is just devoted to copying Ferroro Rocher, and …
Luigi’s Real Italian Ice Lemon and Strawberry
There are three lemon-flavored and three strawberry-flavored Italian Ice cups that come in a box for two dollars and fifty cents. Thia is a reasonably fair price considering the quality and flavor of the Italian Ice. While neither flavor is particularly super rich, the lemon-flavored cups offer an unmistakable …
Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Mini Fudge Brownie Bites
I am not so crazy about Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Mini Fudge Brownie Bites. Although they are decent, I personally prefer the frosted chocolate cupcakes that are made by Mrs. Freshley’s compared with these. I guess I just find these brownie bites to be somewhat dull in the flavor. There …
Coconut Brand Soy Sauce
Of all the brands of soy sauce I think Coconut Brand Soy Sauce. This simple tastes better than all other brands in the market. I used to think that all soy sauces are created equal. In fact whenever I shop, I would pick any brand of soy sauce and …
Excitemint Soft Peppermint Puffs
A ten ounce bag of Excitemint Soft Peppermint Puffs can be found at ALDI Food Market stores for one dollar and forty-nine cents. I was very impressed with this peppermint candy, although I think I would’ve enjoyed the peppermint candy some more if the peppermint candy had been harder, …

I should imagine that this is one of the most reviewed items on anyone food agenda. Beloved of both adults and children, it has been around as long as I can remember and it is still the world’s leading brand of baked bean. Heinz is the manufacturer, of course. …
