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 …

I usually get ready to eat and packed chapatti from my favorite food brand which is Pataks Original, which I usually get at Tesco supermarket which is quite affordable. Pataks is known for their Indian dishes and packed meals. Since I love eating Indian dishes it …

I bought this bottle of honey the other month when I came down with a sore throat. And if you ever had a raw sore throat you know exactly how much it can hurt. I felt pain with every swallow and it kept me awake all night, too. I …

I bought a bag of this old fashioned treat for the winter holidays and now I wish I had purchased another one, as it tastes really great! I haven’t had salt water taffy in a long time - years - as no one around here ever seems to sell …

You may be someone who is naturally adventurous. On the other hand, you may be the entire reverse. You may be quite happy to see what the world looks like on TV and have no great wish to travel to foreign parts where they speak other languages. It may …

The weather is turning icy around here, so we went to the Dollar General to stock up on things that we might need if we can’t get out of the house for a few days. Of course these essentials included comfort/junk food. Peanut butter cookies is one of the …

Most of us have a fond memory of childhood. It may be our Granny giving us her special recipe fish pie for dinner. It may have been a teacher who would allow you one of his mints when you made a school visit to a museum and you were …

There are certain traditions which seem to have been around since the dawn of time, but when they’re examined, you find that they are, in fact, fairly recent. There’s the America’s Cup. Everyone gets very excited about it and commentators go way, way back to discuss who won it …

When you’ve returned from foreign holidays, it’s strange how things that tasted really great wherever you were, now taste terrible. I have been to many countries and found this to be the case. I don’t know what the reason for things seeming to be good when you’re elsewhere and …

I’m a big chocolate lover and one of my favorite chocolates are by Dove. I also enjoy peanut butter candies but it’s often a hit or miss with me because I find many peanut butter chocolate candies to be either too sweet or too salty. There’s rarely been one …

Despite Snyder’s of Hanover Cheddar Cheese Pretzel Sandwich having the word “pretzel” in the name of the product, these sandwiches are not really that crispy or crunchy. The small sandwiches are actually on the soft side. Also, these sandwiches are not too salty either. While that might not sound …

Usually our family buys the inexpensive, store brand bottles of water, so it was a treat when we splurged and got a case of Nestle Pure Life Natural Spring water. For $4.99, we got a case of 24 bottles. A little steep compared to other brands, but well …

This must be one of the best-known products in the marketplace. Along with ‘Corn Flakes’, Mars Bars and Baked Beans, Heinz Tomato Ketchup is an iconic brand. It has been around for so long, I couldn’t say when it first appeared on the shelves of shops in the UK, …

British chocolate is different from the chocolate you get in other parts of the world. Don’t ask me why. It seems to be a matter of history. So much so, in fact, that the EU (European Union) was made to allow exemption from some of their rulings about the …

One of the fields the Dutch have had a lead in for centuries is in tobacco products. I went to a school founded on the fortune made by a man who went to Holland to work in that business and who invested his riches in a school he founded …

Are you conscious about your tummy that you might get the bulge when you drink? I don’t want to remain kill joy either thus I socially drink. Whenever my friends frequent a bar and we meet to talk about details on everything, I try ordering San Mig Light. Before …

Back before the holidays I was looking in the supermarket for shredded cheese. As it happened, this one was on sale and so I bought it. I’m glad I did, as this is a very excellent cheese indeed.
I like how easy this cheese is to use in all of …

Let me be the one to say a couple of things when it comes to food. I love to eat and I always have loved to eat. I feel that trying new things should be apart of everyone’s life. But there are things that I won’t try and there …

The world’s drinks market is flooded out by a huge range of drinks, both soft and alcoholic. The European market alone must account for a sizeable percentage of that, as Italy is the largest producer of wine in the world (to the surprise of many) and the French cannot …

When the weather turns hot, the drinks industry rubs its hands with glee. Hot weather means cold drinks and ice. Something to quench the thirst on a summer’s day. Maybe something to soothe a dry throat in the middle of a sports competition – half-time in a soccer match, …

My wife got a free sample of Stacy’s Simply Naked Pita Chips the other day in the mail. I’m not sure who sent it to her exactly (both my dad and my mother-in-law spend hours looking for free samples on line each week) but, it wasn’t a product I’ve …

This is a 2lb box of black tea made by Lipton. It is the orange pekoe variety. The box is square and yellow with the Lipton label.
This is the best black tea. I normally add sugar and milk to bring out the best flavor. It is quick to brew …

We made shredded pork sandwiches for dinner the other night and, to go with them, we decided to make a bag of Green Giant Fresh Valley Steamers vegetables.
The sandwiches were good. The vegetables were actually a bit of a disappointment.
Green Giant used to offer quality when it came to …

I wanted some snacks last week for New Years Eve and one thing I ended up picking up was a bag of meatballs from the brand Great Value.
I love eating meatballs, plain, using a toothpick and this was the perfect brand for that. First, there were many more meatballs …

I will start this review by pointing out that Bisto Gravy Granules do not actually contain meat and so are suitable for vegetarians like me. I deprived myself of gravy with my (vegetarian) bangers and mash for years and years because I assumed that Bisto contained some kind …

I remember first trying Kelloggs All Bran years ago in the 80s when high fibre diets were being promoted as a good way to lose weight. All Bran is so high in fibre that the idea is that it will expand in your stomach and make you feel …

Kelloggs Coco Pops are basically puffed rice – exactly the same as Rice Krispies – except they are brown and chocolatey, made with chocolate and added calcium. I loved these when I was a kid and although they do contain chocolate they do have a lot of nutritional …

My local Co-operative appears to have an in-store bakery although I know that not all of them do. I was trying to decide which dessert to buy when a lady in a hairnet came out from the back of the shop and put some still warm Apple and …

I bought some Elmlea Double Cream not really noticing that it was not standard cream, but it was really delicious and fresh so I will make a point of buying this in future. Elmlea is actually a blend of vegetable oils and buttermilk which has the advantages of …

I seem to remember that Nutella Hazlenut spread was launched onto the UK market when I was a kid in the 70s but when it came out, I looked at it as the Holy Grail of spreads for children. I hope I am not pregnant or anything …

The other day I tried baking two loafs of these for the very first time and I am very happy with the results. This pumpkin bread is truly delicious! Even more amazing is the fact that it tastes just like my grandmother’s zucchini bread that I remember from my …

I love buying these as they save me money over the top-selling national brand. At the store where I buy them, they are thirty cents cheaper per box than the Velveeta brand and that saving goes way up if you compare the price to the local supermarket (who wants …

While I like many products in the Clover Valley family, this one is simply horrible! There is something seriously wrong with this flour; although I can’t say exactly what it is the cause - perhaps because it is “bleached”? That does seem to be the main difference between this …

I bought these potatoes at my local supermarket and they were a great bargain. They were only a dollar for a five-pound bag and the next week they were less than a dollar a bag. You can’t beat that. Deals that helps stretch your grocery money is always appreciated …

I love the taste of these little sausages and I tend to buy them once the air outside grows cool and nippy. There’s nothing better on a cold day than a meal prepared with some Little Smokies to add some extra flavor. I guess a lot of people use …

Every year I like to buy Hershey’s Holiday Assortment candies. This year, the big package was 55 ounces. Sometimes it’s a little more than that and sometimes less. Also what the assortment contains can vary.
One of the reasons I like the assortment is that it’s always …

In winter my thoughts turn to comfort food. I’m not much of a cook, so quick and easy, box type foods are great for me. I love Rice-A-Roni and the Four Cheese flavor is my favorite. The cheeses are cheddar, parmesan, romano and blue cheese. Yum!
I like the fact …

Your beverage every morning should be a glass of juice. I really don’t go for coffee because caffeine is harmful to your heart. Coffee gives us the help to keep awake however the longer your consumption is, it is not healthy. Thus I go for fresh juices or those …

With two young children, it is hard to find time to make anything but quick, simple meals. Chicken is a staple in our house, and our regular chicken dishes quickly get boring. I picked up a bottle of Lemon and Black Pepper Marinade from
Club House in desperation to spice …

I was so carefull in my family’s health. I never trusted any brand of water. When i say distilled it must have to be Wilkins. I definitely understand the process and where it came from, all the minerals that our body needed is found in this bottled of Wilkins …

I had never tried Select Harvest Maryland-Style Crab, but the Campbell’s brand is one that you can count on for quality and I have been enjoying their soups for years. I am all for trying something new, so I decided to give it a whirl.
The label, which shows a …

I have to admit, I’m not a fan of chain pizza. Domino’s, Papa John’s and Pizza Hut just don’t do it for me. Since someone else was ordering a pizza from Domino’s and I had just seen the commercials for their new and improved Hand Tossed pizza, I thought …

Last Christmas, I received coffee with a strange looking coffee press as a gift from one of my relatives who work abroad. She gave me Trung Nguyen Coffee Gourmet Blends from Vietnam. The coffee press Vietnam style was a bit difficult to figure out at first since I could …

I walked by a coffee shop that was familiar to me and so curious, I stepped in at once. It was late in the afternoon and by that time, I already had my daily coffee quota. I spotted their Arizona Green Tea which they sold in several flavors. I …

I am completely addicted to the Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha, currently being marketed as one of Starbucks’ prime winter holiday coffee drinks. First of all, I should tell you that I am a sucker for chocolate beverages. I have been a longstanding fan of the Starbucks original …

This is a 14oz. bag of potato chips. Its considered a family size pack.
These chips are nice and crunchy. They are quite thin and large. The best thing is that these chips do not contain cholesterol. It is made in all natural oil adding to the taste. After …

My room mate and I both agree, Corona Extra beer is the best beer in the world, in terms of taste. It’s made in Mexico and this country sure knows how to make a good beer. I used to think that San Miguel Beer, made in the Philippines, …

I don’t like most donuts made out here, and one of these brand of donuts are Pastry Castle donuts. I usually see people selling a box of Pastry Castle donuts that contains 8 different donuts. I can’t exactly remember all of the flavours of donuts that are usually in …

I like most types of chips, from banana chips to plantain chips, corn chips and even potato chips. However, one thing that has caught my attention recently is Cassava chips. I started seeing packs of them being sold as soon as the recession started, since for some reason, bananas …

A friend of mine has two small boys and works full time, and she often uses ready- made chicken nuggets to serve them as a fast dinner. She recommended them highly as a quick, easy and tasty meal. I tried them and loved them. For a while, I …
