Breyers Homemade Vanilla
Breyers Homemade Vanilla is about the only vanilla ice cream made by Breyers that I truly enjoy. The reason I truly enjoy it is simple: it offers a rich and deep vanilla flavor that I expect from good, quality vanilla ice cream. Other Breyers vanilla ice cream fail to …
Despar Frollini Noir cookies
I go mad about chocolate chips and I really like cookies so you can imagine that I adore chocolate chips cookies. Although these cookies are very popular in USA here in Europe they aren’t so it isn’t very easy to find them. I used to buy cookies with chocolate …
Orange Crush soda
I’ve always enjoyed a good refreshing orange soda, and Orange Crush is just that. Orange soda at its best. And I know this because I had the privilege of trying this soda when I first noticed it stocked in the soda machine at my work. I’m …
Kopiko 3-In-One Instant Coffee
My review today is all about Kopiko 3-In-One Instant Coffee. I drink this brand of coffee sometimes especially when my favorite brand of coffee is not available in the store nearest to my place. This coffee can be purchased in plastic packs and even in smaller sachets. I usually …
Mama Cozzi’s Pizza Kitchen Supreme Pizza Snacks
I’ll say one thing about Mama Cozzi’s Pizza Kitchen Supreme Pizza Snacks, and that one thing is, they sure did manage to cram a variety of toppings into each and every one of these small snack bites! There’s cheese, tomato, pepperoni, sausage, onion, green pepper and perhaps another one …
Old London Bagel French Onion Chips
The Old London Bagel French Onion Chips are very rich in onion flavoring - more so than any French Onion flavored potato chips that I have ever had and best of all, these bagel chips do not come with all the grease that potato chips have to offer or …

Haagen Dazs Dark Orange Chocolate ice cream
I have been seeing this huge poster advertising Haagen Dazs’ new flavor, Dark Chocolate orange for quite a while already. The advertisement was effective as every time I looked at it, I felt tempted to buy it. It was a seductive picture of a man with his face …
Great Value Pizzas
We decided to watch a movie last night and, because of that, kept dinner simple; frozen pizza. Rather than our normal brand, we ended up eating one of the Great Value Pizzas my wife picked up at Walmart on Saturday.
They weren’t bad but they weren’t great either.
My biggest complaint about …
Always Save Microwave Butter Flavor Popcorn
In the past, I have purchased several generic brands of products in an effort to save money on my grocery bill. I even now have favorite generic brands that I purchase items from often. However, I have never been crazy about the Always Save brand of products. I only …
Buffalo Bill’s Pumpkin Ale
I’m a big fan of seasonal beers, but I’ve only ever got them on draft at bars. This was my first purchase of bottled pumpkin ale, and I was extremely pleased with what I got. It’s available for purchase at EarthFare grocery stores, and I believe I saw it …
Selecta Gold Series Vanilla Almond
One day I was craving for vanilla ice cream so my sister went out to buy some. She came home with two pints of a 465ml Selecta Gold Series Vanilla Almond ice cream. The packaging is simply black and gold but it looks quite sophisticated.
Upon opening the lid, …
Mrs. Freshley’s 100 Calorie Blueberry Muffins
There is not a great deal of flavor to be found inside these Mrs. Freshley’s 100 Calorie Blueberry Muffins. The blueberry flavor is not quite as rich as the non-one calorie muffins, and those did not even have a real rich blueberry flavor to begin with! While there is …
Old Grandad Bourbon
Many years ago, in Paris, I was staying at a hotel in the Latin Quarter when I noticed the manager trying to explain to a couple of young Americans that she didn’t speak English. As they didn’t speak French either, they were both a bit stuck. I intervened and …
Frozen White Castle Hamburgers
In the South there is a chain of restaurants called Krystal. They sell little steamed burgers that have mustard, onions, and a pickle. They are absolutely wonderful when you are out late and need a quick greasy snack to soak up any alcohol you’ve been drinking. …
Cafe Georg’s Old Fashioned Banana Cake
A family friend brought us the Old Fashioned Banana Cake from Café Georg, which is a popular café in Cebu City, Philippines. The banana cake was actually a loaf which was already sliced evenly into slices that were just right; not too thin, not too thick. It …
Meijer Cotton Candy Confetti Ice Cream
I was interested in this ice cream, since I’m always curious about new flavors of my favorite dessert. I was curious about how Meijer could make a cotton candy-flavored ice cream.
I have to admit I wasn’t really expecting a whole lot from this ice cream. I knew it wouldn’t, …
Willie’s Homemade Vanilla and Cookies Ice Cream
Here in Trinidad there is a little place at one of the malls named Willie’s Ice Cream Parlour. They make homemade ice creams and serve them up just like you would get regular ice creams. You can choose from having it in cones, cups, even fancy banana splits and …
Grandma’s Homestyle Big Cookie Oatmeal Raisin
Although I don’t like oatmeal raisin as much as chocolate chip or peanut butter cookies, this two pack of cookies nonetheless proved to be a flavorful treat. The two cookies that come in a pack are rich with oatmeal flavor and the raisin pieces that decorate the cookie are …
Chief Chunky Red Hot Sauce (Salsa Picante)
I have a favourite pepper sauce or hot sauce but recently it was sold out and I was making a dish which absolutely needs to have pepper sauce added into it for it to taste any good! Besides, I love my foods spicy! but I hardly ever cook them …
Sunshine Snacks Chee Zees
While I’ve tried to avoid buying snacks like these recently because they are anything but healthy, and I want to keep my weight down, I still find it hard to resist buying cheesy snacks like this once in a while. I’ve found that Chee Zees are neither too cheesy …
Hooters: Great Service and Food, for once
Last night, my friend and I decided to venture into Hooters. Being from Texas, the local Hooters restaurants are owned under a different company, the Texas Wings Association, and the food quality isn’t so bad. Down south, the food can at least taste better than those bar nachos you …

Fanta soda
When the brand of soda Fanta became popular a couple years ago, I was interested in trying it because I had heard a couple people say that it tasted pretty good. I think it might have come out around the time that D&G, what used to be the major …

Lean Bean Weight Loss Coffee

Sun Pat smooth peanut butter
I’ve bought my first Sun Pat smooth peanut butter from Tesco supermarket when one time I was preparing for some Thai dish at home. I know that this one is quite expensive as the usual peanut butter that I buy from Tesco supermarket but I was a bit …
Jell-o Gelatin - Apricot
Jell-o Gelatin - Apricot is a pretty decent flavor variety that I tend to get a taste for every once and a great while. The apricot flavor is pretty authentic and real and I like how with each spoonful, I am treated to a pretty rich explosion of apricot …
Freshlike Bean and Carrot Blend

Red Horse Beer
Here I go again, back to my worst vice drinking too much alcohol. I am not the type of girl who party a lot but during different occasions, I can be spotted drinking beers with the guys. I also drink other hard drinks and ladies drink, but …
Kroger Cinnamon Waffles
These waffles from Kroger are kind of bland. There certainly is some cinnamon flavor baked into these waffles, but it’s not enough to win me over. The cinnamon becomes particularly difficult to taste when I add a butter spread and syrup. Even if I skip the syrup, which I …
hint - Pear
This pear flavored water variety by hint is not one that I will purchase again quite simply because I did not enjoy it very much. Maybe it is because I do not think that pears have a whole lot of flavor by themselves. However, added to this water, it …
Little Debbie Mini Donuts Powdered
Little Debbie Mini Donuts Powdered are probably my favorite of the three Little Debbie mini-donut product line. The powdered sugar on these donuts can most definitely be messy, but the powdered sugar does give the donuts quite a lot of
flavor! One bite into one of these mini-donuts will result …
Kolumbo Kras chocolate bar
This is a Croatian version of Toblerone, it is good and cheaper than toblerone, but it is not that good as toblerone. It is in a red triangular wrapping with white letters Kolumbo on it. It comes in 100g wrapping and in 200g ones.
The taste of the chocolate is …
Ham and Cheese Sub from The Chocolate Factory

Kroger Brand Beef Brisket
I recently bought a “two for the price of one” Kroger brand beef brisket. I have never bought a beef brisket before and had never cooked one before. I only bought it because it was two for one so it was a good deal and would feed the …
Butterfinger Candy Bar by Nestle
I am a chocolate addict but there is one chocolate that I simply could not enjoy. This is Nestle’s Butterfinger Candy Bar. It is does not have the creaminess and lusciousness of my favorite chocolate bars. I hate the flaky orange colored center which is so messy on my …
Tomato Basil Chicken Breast
