M & M Bumbleberry Blossom - flower shaped pie
As a convenience, M & M meat shops are pretty good. A little bit on the expensive side, but you definitely get what you pay for, type of thing. The latest thing I have tried is the Bumbleberry Blossoms, which are individual little pies. They’re really cute - shaped …

Mrs. Freshley’s Jelly Swirl Honey Bun
I think I prefer Mrs. Freshley’s Jelly Swirl Honey Bun to the plain honey bun variety because I like that there are more flavors to be tasted and enjoyed than with a typical honey bun. Unfortunately, this version of the honey bun also happens to be even sweeter, so …
Ironbeer
Well, I was introduced to Iron Beer a few monthes ago by a friend, and I felt it was good enough to make me write a review.

I recently tried the new “Natural Grape” flavor in Veryfine’s Fruit-2-O line available in the beverage aisles and fridges of grocery and convienience stores everywhere. This flavor was my favorite of all in this line so far and I intend to purchase it again very soon.

Clorets Chewing Gum

Hormel Compleats Spaghetti
Recently, I tried Hormel Compleats Spaghetti with meat sauce. I’ve always enjoyed Hormel products and feel it is a quality brand with a taste I enjoy. Since spaghetti is my all-time favorite food, and this promised a meal in 90 seconds, I just had to try it.
The …

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 …
Ruffles Potato Chips
“R R R Ruffles Have Ridges!”
That’s been the long-time tagline for Ruffles Potato Chips, and it’s pretty appropriate for this product, which is definitely characterized by thick ridges that make it unique from other potato chips on the market; that is, until some of them also began making chips …
Del monte tomato sauce

The Mars Bar
This is one of my favourites. It’s the Mars Bar. It must be about the most filling, sweet, gooey sweet on the market and people can’t get enough of it.
The Mars advertisements on British TV were famous: “A Mars a day helps you work, rest and play.” Of …

Tai Pei General Tso’s Chicken for Two
I have purchased several Tai Pei dinners in the past and, while not great, they usually have proven to be a filling meal when I don’t feel like spending a great deal of time cooking and don’t want to spend a ton of money.
So, when I recently discovered Tai …
Jack Daniels
There are some things that are simply icons. I guess that Jack Daniels falls into that category. It has a —˜Good Ol’ Boy’ stamp that gives it a certain street credibility. It isn’t something that makes people think you’re trying to gain some superiority over them by drinking it. …
Maggi Coconut milk powder mix
I recently found this very cool product Maggi coconut mix in the supermarket which can be a very good alternative to the coconut powder placed in cans and bottles because it is not only very easy to use and I don’t have to worry using a can opener but …

L’oven Fresh Cinnamon Crumb Cake
There are times when baking a cake at home is an option and there are times when, well, there simply isn’t the time to make a cake from scratch or from a box mix. Baking a cake from one’s kitchen certainly has its upsides as such cakes typically taste …

Tesco Value Flavoured Noodles
I like Noodles and I don’t mind even just eating a bowl of Noodles. I’m not the most fanciest eater anyway but am happy with Noodles, Pasta or Rice dishes. The other good thing is that they are quite cheap as well, so can be a filling snack for …

Rienzi Whole Wheat Pasta
I am a huge fan of whole wheat pasta. To some, it is an acquired taste where for me, it grew on me prety quickly. I have tried all different brands and though I love them all, they by no means taste the same. People think …
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.

DarkSide Skittles
I decided to give another selection of the skittles brand a try. This typical selection was called the Darkside skittles. Now my first thought was that these were supposed to be some special seasonal flavors that you would find around Halloween time. You know hence the ‘dark side’ name. But …

Irish Spring soap is good value for money, I’ve noticed they do lather up nicely in the shower but they …
Klondike Bar - The Original
“The Original” is the name of the flavor of the Klondike bar that consists of nothing more than vanilla and chocolate. For me, this flavor remains of my favorites, despite there being so many different Klondike bars available for purchase nowadays. I’m more partial to this flavor because I’m …

Hungry Man Boneless Fried Chicken
Frozen dinners have come a long, long way. Just ten years ago, I wouldn’t go near a Swanson dinner, which had fallen behind the frozen food wars in my opinion. A year or so ago, though, I decided to try their Hungry Man Boneless Fried Chicken, and …
Chocolate Nesquik
Chocolate Nesquik is a power that is put into milk to turn it into chocolate milk (a VERY innoviative name). There are other flavours apart from chocolate (such as strawberry, banana, caramel and honey comb), but chocolate is my favourite.
