Budwiser in the Can
It is a 95 degree day here in Detroit and the sun is beating on my brow, as I sit down to review an American classic, Budweiser, to be more specific, Budweiser in the can. Now, the casual beer drinker may say, “so what if it is in an …

Quaker Rice Cakes
I decided recently that I wanted to lose a little weight; ok I needed to lose a lot of weight. The problem with this is I hate to be hungry. Not that I had any plans on starving myself. I did know that I would have to cut down …
Wendy’s - Homestyle Chicken Go Wrap
Wendy’s - Homestyle Chicken Go Wrap is a wrap that I find enjoyable as long as I ask them to skip the ranch sauce. I do not care for the zesty sauce and I feel that it gets in the way of the flavors that I would much rather …

Fortune is the refined Soya been oil which is full of proteins. As we all know the Soya been is full of protean and as this oil is refined this contains less fatt. This oil is very good for the younger generation and also for the growing …
Recheks Food Pride Baked Chicken

Duncan Hines Chocolate Lover’s Walnut Brownie Mix
Before I discovered Betty Crocker’s chocolate brownie mixes, I used to bake with Duncan Hines’ Chocolate lover’s walnut brownie mix; I’m glad I discovered Betty Crocker because I’ll never use Duncan Hines’ brownie mixes again.
Publix always has a buy one, get one free special going on, and Duncan Hines’ …
Domino’s Pizza Tate’s New Chicken
After seeing some commercials on tv, I decided upon taking a bit of a risk. Rather than frequenting my normal chicken wing place, I decided to take up the Domino’s offer for the supposedly new chicken. I took their 2 for 5.99 apiece offer, and I selected …
Magnolia Ice Cream
I don’t know why but for some reason, Magnolia Ice Cream is not as delicious as before. They have developed new flavors and varieties but to compare it with the flavors a decade ago , I can say that ten years ago, the ice cream tasted much better even …
Healthy Choice Café Steamers Roasted Beef Merlot
I’ve tried many of the Café Steamers because I think the product design is an ingenious idea. They have managed to healthify the original calorie-packed, rich dishes that we all love. Yes, there is considerable less fat and calories, not to mention sodium and cholesterol; also, they …
Baskin Robbins ice cream cakes
Ice cream cakes were all the rage when they first came out about ten years ago. I’m just surprised it took them so long to come out with an ice cream cake. If you’ve never had ice cream cake or never even heard of it then you’ve either been …
How to distinguish fresh pork or not?
As a quarantine inspector, I was often asked about how to judge the fresh degree of pork. Here is some of my experience about that.
There are five ways to inspect it. Firstly, you need to watch the color on the surface of pork. The color should be well-distributed, pink …
Lipton Ice Tea
This is what I like to call the universal drink as I have never somebody who does not drink tea and it is very convenient when posing as a cold beverage as well.
I fell in love with Lipton Ice Tea from the first time I tasted it, particularly the …
MOUNTAIN DEW
I have been drinking mountain dew for years. It has such a wonderful citric taste.It can become quite addictive! An 8 fl oz bottle only has 110 calories which isn’t that bad but the sugars are 31 g. I use to drink 3 (8 fl oz) bottles a day …
Sparrer Sliced Beef Salami

Galaxy Pieces Caramel
I think these gorgeous Galaxy Pieces are pretty new on the market and I had to buy some after I saw an advertisement in a magazine. The little chocolates in the photo looked lovely and I am a big fan of Galaxy chocolate anyway, especially Galaxy Carmel. …
Maestrani Swiss organic chocolate raspberry
I must say that I was expecting much more of this chocolate. When you read Swiss on the chocolate wrapping you immediately know you are going to have a treat, especially if the wrapping itself looks very expensive too. Bio is a synonym for health in my head so …

Entenmann’s Little Bites Chocolate Chip Muffins
I find these Entenmann’s Little Bites Chocolate Chip Muffins to be rather plain and boring. There is simply not much to them. The muffin cake is alright, although somewhat on the dry side. I prefer my muffins to be quite moist and fresh - that is most certainly when …
Peanut Butter Patty Girl Scout Cookies for 2011
So we finally picked up our girl scout cookies for 2011! I was pretty excited, because well, we only get them once a year! But I was really dissapointed this year at the cookies, they changed a lot of them, like cut back and made them smaller, therefore less …

Hidden valley Bacon and onion
Face it salad can be pretty boring, especially on nights that is all you are having. I recently purchased from my local retail grocery chain some Hidden Valley Salad Bacon and onion croutons. I absolutly loved them they were croutons mixed with bacon bits, and minced onion. The flavor …
Annie’s Homegrown Gluten Free Macaroni and Cheese
When it comes to pasta, I am pretty particular but I have to say that this product is a good one. The noodles when cooked right are soft. They need to be salted or they are tasteless but that is the same with most pastas. Also, if you overcook …
Borden American Cheese Slices
We go through a lot of American Cheese slices in our house. They are one of the few things our daughter will eat and we use them for everything from sandwiches to scrambled eggs.

Greek Gods Honey Flavor Yogurt
I am a big fan of yogurt and have been ever since I was little. I used to love the different flavors of the Yoplait brand yogurt. They had a huge variety of flavors to choose from. The only drawback was the cost of those little individual containers, so …
Gelatelli Strawberry ice cream
In my family cheap ice creams aren’t very popular. My parents and my sister would rather buy a very expensive ice cream just once a week than several cheaper ice creams so that they could eat ice cream every day in the week. I am not like that …
Okuya Japanese Fast food in Greenhills, San Juan
I really love Japanese foods. Even at home, we eat and cook food in Japanese way. But when it comes to Japanese fast foods, I have a lot in my mind but I would prefer Okuya because Okuya is quite cheaper than other Japanese fast food chains. Japanese restaurants …

Kettle Brand Potato Chips with Sea Salt
Kettle Brand makes my absolute favorite kind of potato chips, and the simple sea salt version gives you the most potato flavor and has an excellent crunch. I like Kettle Brand potato chips so much that I don’t even bother buying other types of potato chips anymore, except the …
Ritter Sport Coconut
I absolutely love this chocolate bar. Ritter Sport makes a lot of different types of bars, but the coconut is like heaven on a highway. I just can’t get enough of it. Every little square of the bar is filled with coconuts covered by the sweetest chocolate you’re ever …

First of all, I really like …
Stouffer’s Family Size Lasagna
I am not a good home cook. I prefer packaged foods simply because it is easier to prepare. I don’t have to go to all the trouble. The only problem is that I like the taste of homemade lasagna better. Since I don’t have the time nor the …
Meadowfresh Lemon and Coriander Houmous
I frequently buy the original houmous (or hummus) in the Meadowfresh range but I thought I would try this lemon and coriander version. I wanted to experiment by using avocado in a tortilla wrap so I thought a houmous with lemon in would be ideal as I would …
Tesco Value Peanut Butter
I am a fan of Peanut Butter and although it is usually the brand named one that I buy as I do think it is the best one, I like to try cheaper brands as I may end up really liking it and therefore it will end up saving …
Great Value: Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwiches
Great Value: Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwiches are alright, although really, it would be nice if the sandwiches offered a richer peanut butter flavor. I feel that the peanut butter flavor came across as being somewhat subdued in flavor and that I found to be disappointing. The chocolate cookies …
Suddenly Salad Ranch Bacon Pasta Salad
I recently saw the Betty Crocker Suddenly Salad mixes on sale at my grocery store for $1, and I had a coupon that would make them free. Generally I avoid this kind of thing because I can make pasta salad cheaper than what the mixes sell for, but …
Vermont Maid Syrup
Vermont Maid Syrup is expensive and it is also not really spectacular in any sense of the word. The syrup has a decent flavor to it, although it is not as rich and delicious as the syrups made by Log Cabin and Mrs. Butterworth’s. The syrup is relatively thick, …
Ben & Jerry’s New York Super Fudge Chunk Ice Cream
Among all the brands of ice cream manufacturers I have tasted, this one is the best, it has the best and most plenty toppings in this flavour alone and valued at only $6 per pint, it is definitely worth your money! The New York Super Fudge Chunk has lots …

Big League Chew
Have you ever heard of Big League Chew? If you haven’t, I don’t blame you, it’s not all too common to find everywhere you go like other candies these days. Big League Chew is gum in the form of little strands, kind of like spaghetti, but a little bit …
Kremi Grapenut Ice Cream Cake
Sometimes the ice cream truck passes by, and when we see it we almost never buy ice cream either because we don’t have the money, or I’m on another one of my diets or trying to cut down on the amount of dairy I’m eating. Well, this evening my …
Raley’s Fine Foods Microwave Popcorn - Extra Butter
Loving popcorn and fueled on by a need to same money, I recently bypassed my normal brands of higher priced microwave popcorn to get the ’store’ brand, Raley’s Fine Foods, the Extra Butter variety, which was actually the only variety on the shelf available for purchase.
The box for the …
Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme
I’m one of those people that tears at my cuticles. I work with paper a lot, so they getdry and ragged, and I’m twitchy anyway. Thsi means that dry ragged cuticles are almost irresistible for me to bite at and do other ugly nasty things to. …
Satay Sauce
I love Satay Sauce very much. If you go to any hawker stall to order Satay food, make sure that the stallholder does include Satay Sauce together with your Satay dish.
That is a must in everything. The most favorite flavor that I love about Satay Sauce …
