Maxwell House Classic Roast Instant Coffee Granules
I used to think that Maxwell House instant coffee was generally of a reasonable standard but this particular instant coffee in their range is rather poor quality. I have to admit, this was incredibly cheap from a bargain supermarket I visited recently for only £1 for 100g and …
Chicago Town Edge to Edge New Orleans Cheese Pizza
I would say that Pizza is 1 of my most favourite meals although it is normally Meat Pizza that I have, I do like the odd Cheese Pizza. Just a nice change and although I used to think it was a bit plain tasting I think it’s ok.
This …
Ronzini Bistro - Spaghetti and Meatballs
Always on the search for a food that is quick and convenient to cook and serve and a lover of spaghetti, I purchased a package of Ronzini Bistro - Spaghetti and Meatballs. This product comes in a pouch and is ready in as little as ninety seconds, depending …
Dilmah Ceylon Tea
I have tasted Ceylon tea before, but this was the first time we went to buy a Dilmah 100 tea bag pack. The aroma and flavour differs from other tea to some extent. Opening the pack leaves the fragrance of tea leaves and …
Ore-Ida Extra Crispy Easy Fries Golden Crinkles
I tried the Ore-Ida Extra Crispy Easy Fries Golden Crinkles because they were supposed to be just as good as the regular Golden Crinkles, but could be cooked much quicker by simply sticking them in the microwave as opposed to the oven. All I needed to do was make …
Sausages with curry / Salchichas con curry
Salchichas con curry by Gebirgsjager 1.95 euros per pack of 3
I have been shopping at Lidels supermarket on a weekly basis for the last 9 months since I have moved over to Mallorca from England because I recognise a lot of their foods that they sell in England. …
Big Red Gum
We don’t need to introduce Big Red Gum as we can find it on every checkout line. There is nothing better than a piece of Big Red Gum on a hot summer afternoon. Big Red Gum has become notorious with that bold cinnamon flavor.
I love Big Red Gum because …
Mrs. Freshley’s Chocolate Pie
Although I enjoy chocolate, I did not find anything particularly memorable or incredible about Mrs. Freshley’s Chocolate Pie. The chocolate filling was satisfactory, although it most certainly was not the richest or most delicious chocolate I had ever had, however, I certainly have had blander chocolate. The chocolate was …
London Pilsner Premium Beer
Hubby went outside to buy our dinner and when he came back he already bought beer with him. It was not the regular beer that we used to drink during our weekend dinner at home. It was my first time to taste London Pilsner Premium beer. It was not …
Hormel Compleats - Meatloaf
Previously, I’ve had the spaghetti version of this product, but this week is the first time I’ve had Hormel Compleats - Meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy. A friend of mine actually surprised me with a box full of the product, which I dearly appreciated.
Hormel Compleats is a …
Leader Vodka Ice mixed drink
I have already tasted two different Leader mixed drinks and I must admit that this is the worst one, the other two are made of rum plus lime or orange. I usually prefer vodka to rum, but this combination of vodka with lemon is really not my favourite one. …
Marie Callendar’s Frozen Dinners
One of my favorite TV dinner brands is Marie Callendar’s. This is going to sound weird, but these dinners don’t really taste like TV dinners, for the most part. Just because they go in the microwave doesn’t automatically make them bad. These dinners have a homestyle taste that I …
Tradition Matcha Green Tea Powder
I am a fanatical tea critique (especially of green and white tea) and recently received a 8.8oz bag of Matcha Green Tea powder. It was approximately 20 dollars and is a generous amount. I brewed my first cup properly by letting the boiling water subside then poured into tea …
Lays crispy chips
Hello, all of u, I want to review a wonderful salty snack from lays that is potato chips in so many flavours and it also comes in hygienic packing which protects all its good qualities, taste, and its freshness. I have tasted almost all the flavours of lays chips, …
Natures Place Organic Black Tea Bags
One of the worst organic black teas I have ever purchased was the Nature’s Place Organic Black Tea Bags. I purchased this tea at my local Hannaford grocery store for three dollars for a box of 40 individually wrapped teabags because I thought it was a good deal and …
Homemade Hidden Valley Ranch
You aren’t going to believe it, but I think I’m the only person on the face of the planet that had never tried this stuff. A co-worker of mine was recently talking about how she has to water it down because it’s too thick for her. I immediately thought, …
Healthy Kitchen Experience
I was curious how vegan restaurants started to sprout all across the Metro. I found Healthy Kitchen because their Boca burger is included in the 10 “Must-Try” veggie burgers in Manila and was hailed by PETA as the best tasting veggie burger in their Golden Buns Awards. Sounds interesting …
Westsoy Organic Unsweetened Soymilk
I don’t like to use soy milk too often, but when I am looking for a non-dairy milk to use to make mashed potatoes or another savory dish, I think that soy milk is the best kind to use because it doesn’t have the underlying natural sweetness to it …
Cheetos Twisted
A bag of Cheetos is about 90 bucks (Philippine Peso). They are commonly sold in supermarkets here in the country; convenient stores have them too but they would be adding about 20 bucks each pack. Well anyway, my family and I enjoyed a bag of Cheetos twist just now; …
Rolaids Soft Chews Antacids
I have in my lifetime bought some terrible products, and this is one of them. Today, I bought Rolaids Soft Chews Antacids in Rich Vanilla flavour. I got them for my mom, who had a mild case of heartburn. I usually buy tums for her but the store was …
Mrs. Freshley’s Pecan Twirls
I did not find anything all that spectacular about Mrs. Freshley’s Pecan Twirls. I simply found them to be satisfactory and pretty much identical to the other pecan swirl treats sold by other companies. That is both a good and bad thing. It is a good thing because I …
Purity Instant Oatmeal
I bought this oatmeal in a dollar store. After all, it was just oatmeal, right? I mean, how bad can instant oatmeal be?
Well, I found out. Oatmeal can be very, very bad. It can taste pretty much like paste. Like very bad paste. Mind you, I never was …
Cafe Breton’s Gallete Don Quixote Gourmet Crepe
I love crepes. There are a lot of restaurants serving crepes but no one has ever topped my favorite from café Breton. This restaurant has been in the business for years and they are still number one in my book.
This afternoon my husband and I were so hungry we …
Zipfizz energy drink-mix powder
I was surprised to find, during my grocery shopping at my local Wal-Mart, an energetic, bright-eyed woman of about thirty-five years of age, giving out samples of Zipfizz. She described it as a “healthier alternative to energy drinks by providing you with important vitamins and minerals!”
…
Pepperidge Farm Milano Mint Cookies
I first learn about the brand when I first saw the biscuits in a Duty Free shop. Of all the variants that were before me, I chose mint because it was something unconventional and the mixture of dark chocolate and mint gives the best experience for anybody who has a …
OKF COCO Natural Coconut Water
Personally I’ve never really been interested in the OKF products. I’ve seen quite a lot of different juices made by this brand but the packaging always discouraged me because it looked cheap or expired. I’ve seen these products in both supermarkets and local stores so I don’t believe that …
Fab! Juice Drinks
Another nice ready to drink that was introduced is the Fab!. I guess they meant Fabulous; hitting two birds with one stone here, emphasizing on your soon to be wonderful body and the product as a fabulous drink, Fab is a juice drink that also offers the goodness of …
Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate
If you are looking for a good instant hot chocolate swiss miss hot choclate is great. I’ve been drininkg swiss mmiss for years and it always makes a fantastic cup of hot choclate.
The hot chocolate is especially good when you make it using milk rather than water. It can …
Great Value Boil in a Bag White Rice
I was getting pretty tired of ruining rice. It is a food that I’ve always had a hard time cooking. It was always either too crunchy or too mushy. It’s hard to compliment a delicious meal with rice when you don’t even know how to make it properly. I …
Big Butt Doppelbock by Leinenkugel
Yes, it is true I like Big Butt’s. Well, at least I like Leinenkugel’s Big Butt. This is a great example of a doppelbock style beer made by the Wisconsin microbrewery. As we move from the heavy winter beers towards the lighter beers of spring, doppelbock style beers will …
Mildura Instant Ginger Drink with Honey
I hate ginger. It’s hot, it’s spicy, and I think it has a horrible taste. Despite how everyone around me tells me how nutritional ginger is, I still can’t bring myself to eat it. I will scoop out all ginger in my dish. I do my best …
Rainbo Hot Dog Enriched Buns
The best hot dog buns I’ve had are Rainbo Hot Dog Enriched Buns. Consistently, they’ve been a light but reliable bread that has enhanced any hot dog I’ve eaten. They’re rarely overbaked and have the taste that I prefer. Rainbo Hot Dog Enriched Buns are guaranteed …
Liking Nut Brittle with peanuts
I adore Nut Brittle but not all of them, those with peanuts are usually very good but sometimes they are too sweet and even plastic sometime.
Nut Brittles are usually made of honey, sugar, white of the egg. Some of them taste a lot like honey while the others taste …
Ritter Sport Chocolate Yogurt Flavor
I love chocolates and one thing that I could not resist really are chocolates that are not too sweet. I went to the supermarket the other day and found me a good batch of Ritter Sport chocolates. I am not usually a huge fan but since I was craving …
Jimmy Dean Frozen Omelets
Recently I decided to return to my low- carb diet. As I looked through the frozen food aisle, I noticed something new. They were new to me anyway. If I had known about them before, my egg stress would have disappeared. I paid $2.99 for the package of two. …
Appleton Farms Boneless Ham Steak
I have only been able to purchase the Appleton Farms Boneless Ham Steak at ALDI Food Market stores, which is unfortunate because if the ALDI Food Markets around my home ever stop selling this ham, I won’t be able to purchase it anywhere else. It’s very good ham and …
Fruitapone Plus Harmony Fruity Soap
I am not generally a huge fan of fruit scented soaps, but Fruitapone Plus Harmony Fruity Soap has proven to be an exception to my rule. I bought this package of three soaps at my local grocery store for $2.99CDN.
What attracted me to this soap was the great scent …
Sainsbury’s Farfalle Durham Wheat Dried Pasta
I would not even try to pronounce —˜Farfalle’ so for those of you who are as ignorant as me on Italian pasta terminology, these are pasta bow-ties, about an inch and a half in length. They are from Sainsbury’s own brand and they cost me about 68p for …
Pringles Multigrain Crisps Cheesy Cheddar
I really like the concept behind multigrain crisps. They’re like potato chips, except a little easier on the body because they contain parts of grains that contribute to a healthier heart and lower bad cholesterol. Now these crisps aren’t what I would consider a health food, not at all, …
Derby blue Zero Ace 1,5L
When it comes to juices I must say that I rarely find one that I like, I usually buy juices that are on discount so this time I’ve found Derby blue Zero Ace for 1,19 Euro and holds 1 and a half litres of juice. You actually don’t even …
Pringles Potato Crisps - Cheddar Cheese
This variety of Pringles is absolutely terrific if you are a cheddar cheese type of person! I was really surprised by the amount of rich cheddar baked into these crunchy and oil free potato chips! This potato chip will really set one’s taste buds ablaze! I was surprised that …
Mrs. Freshley’s Apple Pie
I was not too crazy about Mrs. Freshley’s Apple Pie at all. I found the apple flavor to be rather disappointing, even after I placed it in the microwave for a few short minutes. Sometimes, heat can help bring out flavor that is normally there at room temperature. Unfortunately, …
Jelly Belly Very Cherry Pudding Snacks
I’ve recently become intrigued by the offerings in the pudding aisle. In addition to the traditional chocolate, vanilla, tapioca, and butterscotch, I now see daring new fruit-flavored puddings like Very Cherry in packages of four cups. They’re very brightly colored, and, while I wasn’t expecting to be blown away, …
Diet Rite
I love soda. Maybe too much. I really like Coke but, I needed to find something caffeine and sugar free. Also with a lot less calories. I tried Diet Coke but, I just didn’t like it at all. I finally tried Diet Rite. …
KitKat Extra Crispy
As I was shopping for my toiletries, I came across a chocolate bar which claims to be “EXTRA CRISPY” and “twice the crisp.” Just nother marketing gimmick, that’s what I honestly told myself at first.
Nevertheless, since I wanted to know for sure that it was indeed just a …
Cloud 9 Munch Monster
I grew up enjoying some local chocolate treats here in the Philippines. There are quite a lot of things I enjoyed as a kid and this includes the Cloud 9 chocolate bars. These chocolates are simple nougats topped in caramel and wrapped in chocolate coating. What I liked with …
General Mills Count Chocula Cereal
General Mills Count Chocula cereal is a pretty sweet cereal, but it undeniably has a distinctly rich flavor to it. The sweetness mainly comes from the marshmallow pieces with the remaining sweetness originating from the chocolate cereal pieces. Much of the actual flavor this cereal has to offer comes …
PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter with premium chocolate
Peanut butter is an essential part of my life now. Lots of people swear by almond and cashew butters, which are fancier, but I love the classic peanut butter and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to give it up. Powdered peanut butter is still something new to me, …
Colombina Snow Mint candy
I am not usually a fan of things that are mint flavoured, especially mint flavoured candy. That is why when my mother offered me a Colombina Snow Mint candy I nearly declined. However, because it did not look like one of the usual mint candies I was used to …
Wilton Cookie Icing
When I was venturing into making Mickey Mouse cookies for my son’s second birthday I knew I needed an icing that would dry hard to decorate with. I looked into several options and decided on this one. While this icing gave me WONDERFUL results, there are definitely …
