I have had a craze on instant hot chocolate lately and I have tried lots of different brands, but this is by far the nicest, by the brand name Percol. Actually it is really gorgeous. I bought a sachet of Percol from Tesco for about 30 pence …

Let me start off by saying that I’m not a big fan of Mexican candy. I’ve tried some in the past and while I like a lot of the chocolate flavored stuff, everything else I usually ignore. There’s a small Mexican booth in one of my local flea markets …

For the last few years, I’ve enjoyed Dreyer’s Fudge Swirl Ice Cream. It was wonderful, and it was the only variety of ice cream that I’d found in decades that matched the marble fudge ice cream I’d enjoyed as a child. I was frustrated to learn just …

As a parent, I know the importance of always having healthy snacks available both around the house and when we’re on the go. One of the most important food items we always have on hand are little bags of fruit snacks.
In the past, I’ve always bought the more expensive …

These are Burger King branded snack chips that are supposed to be the equivalent of the onion rings they sell at the restaurant. They actually look surprisingly close to what their real onion rings look like, they aren’t just the skinny little light yellow …

What makes a candy or a treat so good that I just have to keep coming back for more? I always ask myself that question when I go to Walt Disney World and I always pick up at least five bags of the Goofy Candy Company Character Gummies.
I …

I’m not a person who tries new things on a regular basis; at least when it comes to fast food. For the past decade, whenever I�ve ordered breakfast at McDonalds, I have chosen their breakfast burritos. And, I have not swayed from that once; at least until yesterday morning.
The …

I find these Little Debbie Marshmallow Pies - Banana variety to be somewhat flavorful, although I do have a pretty big problem with the banana flavor. I know that the banana flavor is artificial, but it still could have a slightly more authentic banana flavor. The flavor that is …

I don’t eat fish sticks as much as I did when I was a kid, but when I do get a craving for them every now and then, I’ll buy a big bag of Gorton’s fish sticks.
The thing I like about the packaging of Gorton’s fish sticks is that …

I’ll admit it. I am a big fan of TV dinners (well, if they’re tasty ones). They’re quick, convenient and easy to make, and it sure beats cooking a whole meal when you want something fast. Since I enjoy TV dinners so much, I decided to …

I think I have mentioned before that I usually will have a Tostino’s pizza at least once a month when I’m looking for a simple, filling meal.
For the most part, they are OK but I have found I am not impressed with the lack of toppings on them and …

Suraya Aromatic Instant Coffee from the Nescafe —˜Collection’ range is a good quality coffee and it is perfect for my personal taste. Although I prefer a smooth coffee to a harsh or bitter kind, I do like my coffee to have some strength in it or it is …

I was never a fan of premixed coffee that usually comes in 3 in 1 forms. It is a combination of non-dairy creamer, sugar and instant coffee powder. They are either too sweet or too watery for my taste. I want to taste the coffee not …

I tend to go for ‘healthy’ foods that I think will be good for me based on the packaging. However, it always helps to look at the package carefully and make sure that it is not just saying it is healthy. Aldi food stores offers a line …

These pizza rolls are positively horrid on all accounts. There’s not one redeeming quality that springs to mind when I think back to the time I gave these a one and only try. I like pizza, but just good pizza, and this is not what I consider to be …

My boyfriend excitedly told me that there was a new drink released by Gilbey’s that doesn’t taste like beer, and he thinks I should try it, since he knows really well that I hate beers. He described the bottle to me, and when I went to the Liquor store …

This particular boxed package said it served five people. Inside there …

Another item my wife and I ended up buying at Save-a-Lot (well, actually, I was the one who picked them out when she wasn’t looking) was Dianora’s Mini Pizzas.

When I took a recent trip to North Carolina, I stopped by the Childress Vineyards and picked up a few of their products made with local ingredients. The best of the best was their peach salsa. I have tried some of their other salsa types, but this one is …

The box is cheery. The setting on the picture depicts a home-like …

Allens Refried Beans is a product that I’ve come to enjoy whenever the occasion calls for it. In the past I’ve used other brands, and have had good and bad results. But not with the brand allens. They deliver quality products that tastes homemade.
Allen Refried beans comes in a …

I bought a Betty Crocker Warm Delights Cinnamon Swirl Cake on a whim, and it turned out to be a good move.
