Looking for a burst of sweet and fruity taste? If you are, Starburst might be right for you. Starburst are a fruit-flavored, taffy-like candy that can be found at about any gas station, grocery store, or vending machine.
The main reason I believe Starburst are a quality candy, is because …
Kraft Original Macaroni and Cheese
The original boxed Kraft Original Macaroni and Cheese has been around for many years now, really, before most other boxed macaroni and cheeses were ever conceived. It is still one of the best, although I have had others that have surpassed the quality of this boxed mix. Not many, …

Helmans mayonnaise
I’m not usually a mayonnaise fan, but when i do decide to eat mayonnaise I always end up reaching for helmans. This is really a generally great tasting mayonnaise great for sandwiches, and egg salads and the like. The packaging lables them as “the real mayonnaise” I’m not exactly …
Haldiram Moti Choor Laddu with real saffron

Archer Farms Muesli Cereal
A few days ago I bought a container of this cereal from Target. I say container because it does not come in a box but in an oval stiff-sided contraption with a hard plastic lid. I admit to being attracted to the image of the cereal on the front …
Special K’s Original Cereal
I bought this cereal thinking that it was a healthy source of fiber, protein, and along with the added vitamins and nutrients that make up a complete breakfast. However, I was misled because if you look at the nutrition facts, it does not have any fiber. The …

I finally tried that new Carl’s Jr. Patty Melt. I have to say it tastes pretty good. The bread is fresh and crispy. I really like the taste of the meant and cheese. The sandwich had really good quality. This is one of the best new items on the …
Baileys Original Irish Cream
My dear old grandmother used to always buy a bottle of this at Christmas and us kids would be allowed a glass to sip while we were watching Christmas television shows, so this drink really takes me back to that and it always reminds me of Christmas. Nevertheless, …
Bellamessa’s Smoked Sea Salt Flakes
These are some really cool sea salt flakes. They aren’t crystals in the normal sense. They look like hollow pyramids, and they are really strong with the smokey flavor. It only takes a little bit, and adds a wonderful flavor to your food. It’s great …
Thorntons 12 Mini Chocolate Brownies
I spotted these Mini Chocolate Brownies in Sainsbury’s and based on the picture of the brownies on the label, I just had to have them as they looked sumptuous. I associate Thorntons with delicious, luxurious chocolate products but I did not know they made brownies available in the …
Lipton Tea Bags
I once tried a box of tea bags to make my iced tea and I am here to tell you that there is definitely a big difference in the taste of different tea bags. I can often get away with getting the cheaper brands at the grocery store because …
Uncle Ben’s Sweet & Sour sauce
This sauce has a sweet and sour taste that mixes between them perfectly. It has pieces of crispy vegetables in it pineapple and bamboo shoots. You can use it with pasta, rice but also with meat only and it tastes really great.

Betty Crocker - Cookie Brownie Bars
Betty Crocker - Cookie Brownie Bars offer an interesting combination creation that I think works fairly well. What this combination creation is it is like a cookie and brownie all rolled into one. Like with a chocolate chip cookie, there is the chocolate, and then there is the dough. …

Little Debbie Cinnamon French Toast Sweet Rolls
Little Debbie Cinnamon French Toast Sweet Rolls are indeed sweet, but I just do not taste all that much cinnamon. I admittedly do taste a little, but apparently, the makers of these sweet rolls were very skimpy with the cinnamon. It is a real shame, too, because I think …
Jell-o No Bake Desserts - Strawberry Cheesecake
I find this Jell-o No Bake Desserts - Strawberry Cheesecake to be reasonably decent in terms of texture and flavor, although I personally prefer the taste and texture of a homemade cheesecake or one that is sold ready made at the grocery store. The reason for my preferences is …
Silk Light Chocolate
I’d like to think that I am making an effort to follow a healthier diet but sometimes I crave chocolate like you wouldn’t believe. I fear that one day I will be caught red-handed and covered in chocolate like the tubby kid in Willy Wonka’s factory.
…
Bella Rosa Extra Virgin Olive Oil 250 ml
To me, Bella Rosa Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the best in its class. Because of it, I can’t imagine myself going back to Canola or any other vegetable oil for cooking.
For one, it doesn’t hurt when I’m frying something. You know how you get all …
Century Tuna Lite
Indulging in food is not bad for as long as you know the right proportions of food to eat and what kind of food to eat. I am the type of person who eats everything but singles out the right amount. But there is always downside and choosing the …

Little Debbie Petites Chocolate Cakes
Little Debbie Petites Chocolate Cakes are rectangular snack cakes that are indeed petite. Two big bites or three moderate size bites, and the snack cakes are history. The cakes are thus on the small side. Unfortunately, the size of the chocolate cake isn’t the biggest problem this snack cake …
Lasco Tin Mackerel in Chunky Tomato Sauce
While I’m not a huge lover of tinned foods, especially tin fish, I don’t mind the occasional tin mackerel especially if it’s prepared properly and it has a particular texture. Most recently, I’ve discovered that the “Lasco Mackerel Chunky in Tomato Sauce” is one of the brands of tin …
Chef Boyardee: Pepperoni Pizzazaroli
Chef Boyardee: Pepperoni Pizzazaroli is super delicious. The tastiest part about Chef Boyardee: Pepperoni Pizzazaroli is the insanely delicious tomato sauce. The tomato sauce has a delicious garlic and onion taste and doesn’t taste like other sweet tomato sauces that are filled with corn …
Steak n’ Shake’s in Ocala Florida White Chocolate Milk Shake

Trader Joe’s
Recently, the Whole Foods Market near my job relocated and a Trader Joe’s was put up in it’s place. I’ve always known about Trader Joe’s, but have never actually visited a store. I never really understood what a Trader Joe’s is, nor …
Gorton’s Seafood Company
I’m not a person who eats a ton of fish. It used to be one of my favorite foods but it is so darn expensive when you try to buy it at the store; even fish sticks.
However, my wife and I have been eating it more often now so …
Morrisons Milk Chocolate Ovals
These Milk Chocolate Ovals from Morrisons own brand can be described as a downmarket version of that confectionary I have not had for ages called, I think, Minstrels. If I have got the name right, Minstrels are those flattish milk chocolate buttons covered in a shiny, hard candy …
Lowes Foods seltzer,tonic water or club soda
I’m not really much for one to drink tonic water or club soda. However, it does really well for getting out stains from the carpets and some of the clothes that we wear. I buy Lowes Foods seltzer,tonic water or club soda to keep on hand for quick …
Richard Childress Seasoning Blend

Creme de Pirouline Artisan Rolled Wafers Chocolate Hazelnut
This European rolled wafers with chocolate hazelnut filling tastes so good. The chocolate is evenly distributed that you really can taste it in each bite. The wafers are perfectly made. It looks like the thin sheets of wafers were rolled to form a stick, making it a bit thick …
Healthy Choice Mediterranean Pasta
I haven’t had too much experience with Mediterranean food beyond pitas and hummus. When Wal-Mart had the All Natural entrees on sale, I wanted to try Healthy Choice’s interpretation of Mediterranean cuisine. From the description on the box, it sounded like a pasta salad with the vegetables, …
7-Up Soda
For a clean, crisp drink of freshness there is nothing like the original 7-Up Soda to make you smile. I’ve had so many of the competitors over the years, from Sprite to Squirt, but none of them have ever come close to the purity of 7-Up.
As strange as …
Klondike Vanilla Sandwiches
I used to think a lot more about Klondike Vanilla Sandwiches than I do today. In fact, some time back I reviewed one variety of Klondike ice cream treats which I liked much better than these sandwiches.
Klondike Vanilla Sandwiches are artificially flavored with artificial flavor added. They …
Michelina’s Frozen Dinners
We have a lot of frozen dinners in our house just because they are convenient on days when we are rushed (which is often).
In an effort to cut back on our food budget, we decided to buy some frozen dinners from the Michelina’s brand. They were definitely cheaper, but …

Reggano Parmesan and Romano Cheese
Reggano Parmesan and Romano Cheese is sold at ALDI Food Market stores for two dollars and twenty-nine cents. The container the blend of grated cheese comes in is eight ounces. This is the cheapest blend of grated Parmesan and Romano cheeses that I’ve found and have since switched over …
Old Dutch All Dressed Potato Chips
Old Dutch All Dressed Potato Chips are easily some of the most forgettable chips that I have ever tried. While that certainly is not a good thing, it actually is not a terribly bad thing, either. The reason I say that is because while the potato chips do not …
Wrigley’s React 5 Sugar Free Gum
I got this at Walgreens for the sale price of .99cents. That’s a bargain because normally this type of gum with its fancy packaging is over 1.50. I always prefer gums that have wrappers so that I can place my gum in them when I’m done. And, I like …

Product Description: Pack of 9 bratwurst from the Cher Make Sausage Company out of Manitowoc, WI. I found this at our local Piggly Wiggly store last night for about $6.50.
