Pepsi is my number one vice. Right or wrong, it’s the one beverage I just have to have, and it’s been that way for decades. As a youngster, I recall my parents buying coke. That’s what I remember from my very early years, but somewhere along …

Last week I took our boy scout troop camping in the gorge close to my home for a few days. My sister saved me some of the new style MRE’s to use as lunch on our camping trip however the new one’s are called TOTM. It stands for Tailored …

Monster Munch, I find it amazing how it remains such a cult classic. Whenever you see them in the shops you seem to take a longing look in their direction and everyone you talk to always loved Monster Much and yet I never see anyone buying them.
As a child …

I love Pepsi Twist, what a splendid idea to add some lemon flavor to Pepsi! I used to make my own “twists” like that, adding a slice of lemon into my pop, so when I first saw a Pepsi Twist commercial I thought, “YEAH!! Just what I want!” I …

As of recently, there has been an ongoing promotion for Taco Bell’s five layer burrito. Taco Bell is on my list of favorite fast food places to go, but I tend to stick to the simple foods on the menu: Cinnamon twists, soft supreme tacos, nacho supremes, gordita supreme, …

Summit Diet Cherry GT Cola retails for one dollar and ninety-nine cents at ALDI Food Market stores. In one twelve pack comes twelve-ounce cans. It’s not all that easy to describe the flavor of this diet cola. Sure, it has a noticeable cherry flavor to it, but beyond the …

In recent years, I have had periods of unemployment when I have been so poor that I have been forced to sample the rock-bottom priced value goods available in supermarkets. Some items are not so bad actually, but these Pasta Shapes from the Sainsbury’s Basics brand, are not …

There are many squeezed orange juices I had tried. The most popular is Tropicana Minute Maid Pulp Orange juice. Despite being delicious, orange juice is healthy as long as it has no artificial ingredients. One time I visited the house of my former Supervisor at Quezon City Philippines and …

I enjoyed Mrs. Freshley’s Berry Pie much more than the apple pie variety. The reason I enjoyed the blueberry variety more is quite simple really: the blueberry filling has a pretty delightful flavor! The filling reminds me of scrumptious blueberries, as it most certainly should. The pie tastes even …

Recently I got the craving to make my grandmother’s old world fishburger recipe, which calls for a can of jack mackerel. However, after looking on the shelves of the two nearest supermarkets for the usual brand I buy, Chicken of the Sea, I couldn’t find any. The spot on …

Green Tea To Go is a great way to get more water into your diet. For those of you who cannot stand the taste of plain water and just can’t seem to get enough into your day, I would highly recommend trying the Green Tea To Go. They come …

Fresca. It’s a diet drink with artificial sweeteners, but they aren’t up front with that. There’s nothing on the packaging that indicates it’s diet. That’s how they get you; you’ll see the flashy can in a cooler at a barbecue, and curiosity gets the best of you. You crack …

Since beginning my smoking habit three years ago, Dorals have been my brand of choice. It began originally because my roommate smoked them and I wanted to be able to bum from her without sacrificing my preference. They were also the least-trashy brand of the trashy brands, and were …

The name of this Pasta Side might be a little misleading because there actually isn’t any bits or pieces of chicken in this Pasta Side. What is in this Pasta Side is a sauce that has the flavor of chicken. The sauce, although thicker than the broth in a …

Christmas is just around the corner and giving sweets is one of the main things I wanted to offer for my lovely godchildren and for my beautiful niece. Kids do enjoy eating sweets so I prefer to give them something which is not purely sugar in content so that …

I love Sierra mist, about the same as I love Sprite. I was in the grocery store tonight and I noticed that they came out with a new Sierra mist. I have not seen any commercials or heard any advertising on it. Of course I love to try new …

I also work for the food industry business and I consider each food establishment around the globe must be like brothers and sisters working hand in hand in providing ultimate food quality and costumer satisfaction. My job requires me to work with the technical aspect of food items served …

Ok, what is escargot??? First time i heard it, it seemed to be some kind of cargo service whatever :D (forgive me for passing too many French class :D). I got introduced for the first time with escargot when I was having dinner with my family. My dad ordered …

I admit it, I don’t really like Altoid mints. I’m more of a Tic-Tac kind of girl because I like things that are fruit flavored. As a smoker though, I’m always trying to find things that taste good and hide my smoker breath, without tasting too extreme. That’s the …

Twelve Nabisco Oreo Cakesters come in a box for two dollars and thirty-nine cents. They’re sold in a number of grocery stores, with some grocery stores carrying the original variety, namely this product, along with other varieties, such as a peanut butter cakester as well as a vanilla cakester. …

So, I was introduced to this product by my older sister, who came over to dinner. She bought over this little bottle called Figaro: Hickory Liquid smoke and barbecue. I had never previously heard of such of thing as ’smoke’ in a bottle. I thought who ever made this …

I like drinking a lot of coffee and I always keep a tub of Nestle Coffee Mate in the cupboard for those times when I am running low on milk to put it my coffee. I do like Coffee Mate but as I drink several cups of coffee …

Although Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream Chocolate is certainly an enjoyable and refreshing treat, it is not quite as rich and creamy as the premium homemade chocolate ice cream, also made by Blue Bunny. This original ice cream does not have quite as strong and delicious of a chocolate …

I’m allergic, just mildly to nuts and so in a bid to find a cereal that tasted somehow nutty but doesn’t contain nuts, I stumbled upon Kelloggs Special K Honey Clusters. I’m not usually one for buying branded cereals but I have been very pleased indeed with these. …

Not many years ago, foods labeled “Organic” were considered odd foods only consumed by health food “nuts” who don’t mind essentially tasteless edibles.
But times have changed, thank goodness, and now the masses are beginning to appreciate the health benefits of organic items, many of which actually taste great! …

I love eating mashed potatoes with any meal, however it takes a lot of work to make them. I don’t always have time to boil potatoes, peel them, mash them, and cream them. Sometimes I just need a quick substitute to homemade mashed potatoes. I tried the Great Value …

The problem with some split peas …

These crackers are downright addicting, I tell you! Once I start eating a pack of these flaky and buttery crackers, before I know it, half of the pack is done and gone! Sometimes I think I can feel up on these alone! Another positively terrific thing about these crackers …

I buy a lot of frozen dinners because I do not have time to cook. I have been getting the Banquet one because once a month Kroger puts them on sale for 10 means for $10 dollars. I figure that is a pretty good deal so I have been …

If you’re looking for a filling but affordable meal at The Old Spaghetti House (TOSH) restaurant, you should try their pasta meals. Their pasta meals are actually good for two and you could actually ask them to serve the meal on two separate plates. Not only that their pasta …

I happen to live in one of the best areas for potato chips in the world. That is because I live on the East Coast of the United States just minutes from the Pennsylvania line where they make Herr’s Potato Chips. Herr’s doesn’t deliver all over the United States. …

Just when I least expected it, I came across a new type of pizza. It was Amazing Cones. Amazing Cones is a restaurant that serves pizza, dessert and ice cream. The best part is that Amazing Cones is named as such because the pizza is rolled in a cone. …

I do not care overly much for these Chocolate Fudge Swirls. The reason I do not care all that much for these swirls is because it is really just too much chocolate for me. Chocolate on the outside, chocolate on the inside., chocolate all around! Chocolate lovers will likely …

I am a HUGE fan of Wing Zone because not only do they offer the best of chicken, but they also allow you to decide on the flavor/sauce you chicken will be drenched in. I’m a barbeque person, therefore, I am always ordering barbeque chicken wings; however, when I …

I purchased the Carnation instant breakfast chocolate drink because I had started a fitness regimen, and I wanted to incorporate a healthy breakfast drink. I’m not really into diets or diet drinks, but the Carnation instant breakfast chocolate drink didn’t appear to be a diet drink, and I love …

I love a cup of hot coffee while I’m working, reading or watching a good movie on TV; it helps to clear my thinking and I become more focused on my tasks.
Today I decided to try Folgers Gourmet Supreme. As I was shopping the big red plastic …

Our lunch and dinner cannot be complete without drinks. It is cold coffee, iced tea, soft drinks or fruit juices. At present we already eliminated having soft drinks because of my father’s condition. We were fed up with iced tea, so we prepare juice drink instead. Tang Fruit Teaz …

I can’t resist potato chips. It’s my favourite junk food, sad to say. I particularly like this Jack n Jill Potato Chips - Spring Onion and Garlic Flavour. What I like about this is that it is made from 100% fresh natural potato. I’m a big potato fan. I …

Living with someone who loves cooking and is constantly trying new, exotic ethnic cuisines means that we spend a lot of time trying to source ingredients, many of which are hard to find but essential to a recipe. Fortunately, a co-worker recommended a company based in Calgary that carries …

Another super junkfood made by Oishi is the choco soaked snack Sponge. The “ring like ” choco crunch that every junkfood lover

Today there is such a variety of cereals in the supermarkets that is difficult to choose.Usually I didn’t eat cereals because most of them are corn flacks and I don’t like them very much.But I started to buy Kellogg’s Special K because they are rice and wheat flakes.I liked …

I love eating fish because it does not have fats and it has health benefits. Salmon can prevent wrinkles and takes care of the heart like no other. But in cooking it, avoid deep frying any food. This would save you from absorbing oil in your system. I usually …

There so much wonder about tomato juice. This is very good to one’s health. Being a health conscious myself, I make sure that I always have tomato juice at home. Tomato juice has lots of vitamins and minerals. Other’s say this is the fountain of youth. I made it …

I’m not sure where exactly this brand of toffee is made, or what country it was manufactured in, but I know that my father brought a bag of it home one night a couple months ago. He saw someone selling a pack of them on the road, and decided …

Old English 800 40oz bottles are one of the best Malt Liquor beers I have ever had. This stuff is just great and will get you a good buzz. Now the taste is not the best but it’s not that bad either. For the price of the 40oz …

I have got into the healthy habit of drinking a small glass of Sunsweet Prune Juice every morning with my breakfast and I have noticed a difference to my digestive system. I have to admit that I do not like prunes at all and since trying them as …

I didn’t care very much for the honey buttered Pringles Stix. First of all, they weren’t too generous with the honey because there wasn’t much honey flavor. There was enough to make the snack slightly sweet, but it wasn’t a rich flavor that led me to crave more. I …

The Bounty chocolate bar is absolute classic confectionary and I bought one recently for the first time in years - I have been concentrating on trying the newer bars I suppose. These are manufactured by American company, Mars, although they are apparently not so widely available in the …
