Kopiko Kopiccino Coffee
I always anticipate having a cup of coffee every morning it is because it makes my breakfast complete. It used to be that instant coffee comes in a single flavor until recently. We already had a variety in brown sugar, latte and chocolatte. I want to try instant coffee …
Spice Island East and West Indian Groceries
Whenever I spend any time in a new city, we immediately start sourcing ethnic markets and groceries because my husband cooks many styles of food; we are always needing exotic and non-traditional ingredients not readily found in traditional grocery stores. In Edmonton, Alberta, we found Italian, Asian and …
The Co operative Creamy Golden Vegetable Soup
The Co-operative’s own brand ‘Creamy Golden Vegetable Soup’ is my favourite soup at the moment. Although it is very cheap at only about 50 pence per can, I think it is lovely. I usually only buy tomato soup but I wanted to find something a bit more …
Chick-fil-A Chicken, Egg & Cheese Bagel
Chick-fil-A Chicken, Egg & Cheese Bagel is one of the few menu items from the Chick-fil-A fast food restaurant that I have actually been disappointed with and have no desire to purchase again. The reason I was disappointed with this sandwich is because I did not think that the …
Coffee Baileys
For Christmas this year my drink of choice was Baileys, as it is every year. This time however I decided to opt for their Coffee flavour to ring the changes. Baileys, for those of you who don’t know, is a cream liqueur which is usually drunk alone …
Atlas beer
I don’t usually drink beer, actually I drink alcohol very rarely but somehow I really like to drink it when I am home alone, and as I am home alone really rarely that’s why I drink rarely. Today I was passing near a shop and I decided to buy …
Abita Mardi Gras Bock, seasonal beer
We picked up the Abita Mardi Gras Bock to go with a southern-themed dinner one night, and it paired really well with the somewhat heavier, spicier food that we ate that night. It’s drinkable and versatile enough for a number of different seasons and dishes.
The Abita Bock is a …
Hungry Howie’s Large Pepperoni Specials
I had never had Hungry Howie’s pizza until we moved to Florida. They do have a few of them in Indiana but not near where I was living at; so I had never tried them. I had noticed their outside advertisement on their sign on the first day we …
Sprouts Farmers Market Honey Wheat Pretzels
Pretzels seem to be the big thing right now. Just a few days before writing this review, I ran across a bag of soft pretzel rolls in the store, and not to mention I saw the billboard with the advertisement of the fast, food restaurant Wendy’s having a pretzel …
Sainsbury’s Belgian Chocolate Brownie
I tend to choose a chocolate brownie if I want a snack to fill me up nicely, so I tried this Belgian chocolate one from Sainsbury’s —˜food to go’ area and I thought it was particularly gorgeous. It is an oblong shaped block of brownie, which is quite …
Haywards 2000 H2K Premium Strong Beer
Once every week we get to drink beer as we include it in our dinner. I do drink often times but mostly on special occasions and I only drink light on beers and cocktail drinks. I do like Haywards 2000 Beer as my second choice of beer in India.
It …

Previously, I’ve reviewed several of Jack in the Box food products, including some of their foods introduced in 2010 such as their grilled sandwiches. This review will cover their Grilled Deli Trio Sandwich, which I’ve eaten a few times now over the last several months.
According to Jack in …

Big League Chew
Have you ever heard of Big League Chew? If you haven’t, I don’t blame you, it’s not all too common to find everywhere you go like other candies these days. Big League Chew is gum in the form of little strands, kind of like spaghetti, but a little bit …
Mrs. Freshley’s Frosted Creme Cakes
Although I would not say that I am crazy about Mrs. Freshley’s Frosted Creme Cakes, I do purchase them from time to time. What I like about the creme cakes is that they have a thin, sweet icing glaze that surrounds the chocolate exterior. The glaze and the chocolate …
Vegetarian Vegetable Soup from Venise Maid foods
My daughter and I just ate a can of Condensed Vegetarian Vegetable Soup. The brand is Venise Maid Foods. My daughter seemed to like it well enough but I personally feel that it couldnt get any worse it was so awful! It was the worst tasting vegetarian vegetable soup …
Lipton Teas
I love teas! I guess there is no one that has ever tasted almost all tea variants in the whole of metro manila as me. I love teas, red tea, green tea, korean ginseng teas (not as much as i like green teas) and i also love Milk teas! …
Ore-Ida Hash Browns Southern Style Potatoes
Ore-Ida Hash Browns Southern Style Potatoes is the second style of hashed browns I’ve purchased and where the first was a bit of a let down, these are exactly what I wanted them to be. I’ve enjoyed this product in meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I’ve …
Mars Planets bars
I always like to try new chocolate bars and as I like Mars bars I thought I would try a packet of Mars Planets. These are basically little milk chocolate balls with three different centers —“ chewy, crispy and soft —“ which are supposed to be the different …
KFC’s Zinger
KFC’s Zinger has always been one of my favorites. So obviously that’s what I always order whenever I visit a KFC branch. Since I was craving for a zinger, I naturally visited KFC (Portchester branch, in particular) and ordered one.
Filled with consuming desire and mind-numbing hunger, I immediately grabbed …
Maxwell Sanka Instant Coffee
A cup of coffee in the morning and before going to sleep at night is routine for me. Coffee has been proven that has antioxidant that helps our body to maintain our good immune system. Coffee has been a part of my daily routine, even at work I don’t …
Cuervo Gold Margarita
A friend of mine said that he had a new drink he wanted me to try, some kind of margarita. But I noticed that he didn’t have any tequila, any limes, nor a blender of any sort. The drink that he wanted me to try was Cuervo …
Jack `n Jill Nips Peanut
Jack `n Jill Nips Peanut is a candy-coated chocolate with peanut center. I really like this Jack `n Jill Nips Peanut because of the peanut taste that will be mixed with the chocolate inside of my mouth while I’m eating. Obviously, it was combined of my two foods that …
Stars and Stripes Soda in Pineapple Flavor
I was at a friend’s BBQ several months back when I had the opportunity to try a new kind of soda called “Stars and Stripes”. I really enjoyed the pineapple soda that I had and I was very curious as to where she had gotten these sodas. …
Banquet TV dinners
When I was a kid my mom would on occasion buy Banquet TV dinners for us and I loved them. I think Banquet was one of the first companies to offer them. Anyway, I remember the fried chicken dinners were pretty good overall. They actually tasted like real food …
Wendy’s - Homestyle Chicken Go Wrap
Wendy’s - Homestyle Chicken Go Wrap is a wrap that I find enjoyable as long as I ask them to skip the ranch sauce. I do not care for the zesty sauce and I feel that it gets in the way of the flavors that I would much rather …
Anlene High-Calcium Low Fat Milk Concentrate
Anlene is a range of milk products which is meant to resolve the common bone nutrients deficiencies found in most adults. When Anlene was first advertised on TV, I actually did not pay much attention. I was thinking it was just the same as the many high-calcium …
Nabisco Ritz Crackers
You know, today is the first time I realised Ritz were made by Nabisco as I have always assumed Ritz was the brand name of these delicious little nibbles. I quite often buy them as all three of my granddaughters’ like them and it’s one of the very …
La Choy Stir Fry Teriyaki Sauce and Marinade
For me, cooking is a pleasure. I enjoy making different recipes for dishes at home. I especially enjoy making copy cat versions of recipes I eat at restaurants. This is how, I came across La Choy Stir Fry Teriyaki Sauce and Marinade in my neighborhood Kroger. I was initially …
Clancy’s Zesty Bites Sharp Ranch & Fiery Cajun
Clancy’s Zesty Bites Sharp Ranch & Fiery Cajun is a snack food that comes in a nine point five ounce bag at ALDI Food Market stores for one dollar and nineteen cents. The bag contains a mixture of little popcorn-like pieces and the pieces are divided up fairly evenly …
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 …
Folger’s Classic Roast Instant Coffee
I am not a serious drinker of coffee. But over the years, I have developed quite the nose for both good (and bad) coffee. At work, the coffee is pretty good. But I have found that I prefer bringing my own instant coffee. I recently …
Tesco Twin Pack Supersweet Sweetcorn Cobs
If you have never had corn on the cob before then I must rave about how good it tastes, but these particular cobs - the Supersweet ones from Tesco - are particularly good as they are lovely and sweet. Yesterday at the supermarket I actually picked up two …
Coconut Twin Snack
I like to eat all kind of chocolate especially milk chocolate with coconut or milk creams in it. I don’t like chocolate with hazelnuts because they have some strange taste to me. So I always buy different chocolates that I like but most of all I buy chocolates with …
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 …
Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Chunky Chocolate Chip
I am not overly crazy about Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Chunky Chocolate Chip as I much prefer the smooth and creamy chocolate ice cream as opposed to the smooth and creamy chocolate ice cream that also has large, chunky chocolate chips. They are just too large for me. …
Eight O’Clock Coffee
I want to recommend Eight O’Clock Coffee, 100% Colombian whole bean.
I almost feel like a traitor writing this, but I have been won over. I used to live in Brazil, which has some of the finest coffee in the world. Here in the USA I did not pay much …
Sun-Rype Apple Vanilla Pear juice
I drink a lot of juice. I’ve tried lots of different kinds, but one I generally like the best is the Sun-Rype Apple Vanilla Pear juice. It’s light, refreshing, and the taste is pretty good.
The significant part is the taste. It sort of like apple juice but with a …
Yoplait White Chocolate Raspberry
Yoplait White Chocolate Raspberry is not a flavor combination that I am wild about. The combination sounded tasty, but unfortunately, that did not turn out to be the case. I do not feel that either flavor, be it the chocolate or the raspberry, came out well because this yogurt …
Defender Health Drink Provides Many Benefits
I try to be vigilant about drinking throughout the day. I noticed that I was losing energy and catching more colds. I think it had a lot to do with the stress level of meeting some big project deadlines at work. A co-worker had a bottle of Defender on …
Horlicks
Horlicks is the name of the health drink, which is very popular in India. Most of the Indian children drink the Horlicks every day with the milk. This drink has all the necessary nutrition and proves to be the best diet for children. It is like …
Friendly Farms 2% Reduced Fat Milk (One Gallon)
The Friendly Farms 2% Reduced Fat Milk is milk that I’ve only found at ALDI Food Market stores. The milk used to cost one dollar and twenty-nine cents a gallon, but for about four months now, the milk has sold for just ninety-nine cents a gallon. That’s a terrific …
Wendy’s - Grilled Chicken Go Wrap
Wendy’s - Grilled Chicken Go Wrap is a wrap that I tried once to see if perhaps I would like it enough to alternate between this wrap and the Homestyle Chicken Wrap, since this wrap is a little healthier than the Homestyle wrap, but I just did not care …
Stouffer’s Easy Express Skillets Broccoli and Beef
Stouffer’s Easy Express Skillets Broccoli and Beef is a meal that I found to be fairly satisfying in flavor and quite filling as well. What I like about this meal is the beef that is used is both tender and flavorful, so it is quite easy to enjoy. This …
Orange Chicken (from The Cheesecake Factory)
I was a bit reluctant to order this dish. The description in the menu explains that the chicken breast is diced, seasoning, deep-fried, and then tossed in a spicy/sweet orange sauce. It is served with steamed white rice on a bed of crunchy vegetables. …
Green Giants Creamed Spinach
I was never a spinach person until I started buying the Green Giants creamed spinach. It’s the type of spinach that you can eat with nothing or you can eat it something.
The Green Giants creamed spinach comes in a small to medium box that is incased in a …
Dizon Farms Caesar Salad Kit
Preparing your own caesar salad is as fun as eating it right after. I was able to easily prepare and relish one through Dizon Farms Caesar Salad Kit. Buying separate ingredients is costly and time consuming; Dizon Farms eliminate these troubles. Everything I need is already included in the …
Woolworths Black Forest Chocolate Cake
Now I have always loved chocolate cake and it is something I indulge in on occasions other than mine, or someone else’s birthday.
Any chocolate cake tastes really good but I never knew something superior actually existed on a whole new level. On my aunt’s birthday, three days after mine, …
