Haldiram’s Mint Lachha Mint Flavour Potato Sticks
The Mint Lachha Potato sticks were new to me. I picked them up at Punjabi Deli attracted by the flavor plus the poofy bag feels like a flotation device or pillow. The weight is their standard 7.06 oz (200gms). The mint is refreshing but not overpowering. The crunch is pleasant. There is also a great […]
Oaxaca Taqueria: Brooklyn and Manhattan Mexican Food
I love a good taco so I jumped at the chance to use a Groupon at the local New York mini chain called Oaxaca Taqueria. They have locations in Cobble Hill, Park Slope, West Village and the East Village. It’s a bit of a walk from South Park Slope to their 4th avenue location (between […]
Late Night Junk Food? It’s Not Just the U.S
Experts on TV told us not to eat late at night because we tend to eat junk foods. Here in the U.S, we didn’t listen. If it makes you feel better though, apparently no one else listened either. Check out this story via NPR’s the Salt via Massive Health (who put out apps to help […]
Kohr’s Frozen Custard
If you’re on the Jersey shore you’ll find many fun foods including extra large slices of pizza, lemonade, funnel cake, fudge, pork roll and of course boardwalk fries. Those are all great American foods to have later, but the first priority is to stop by Kohr’s Frozen custard stand. I love frozen custard because I […]

Beyond Meat’s foray into fake chicken
This story from NPR’s blog, the Salt caught my ear: Link Beyond Meat, a new company based in Maryland, has come up with an alternative to chicken meat that it claims is a dead ringer for the real thing. And unlike other meat alternatives on the market, this one aims to be cheap as well […]
Glutino Dream Cookies: Chocolate Vanilla Creme Review
The latest snack I tried from Glutino is the Chocolate Vanilla Creme cookies. (10.6 ounces, 300g). These cookies are the GF equivalent of the Oreo cookie. The serving size is two cookies and there are around 20 in the package which is decent compared with other GF products. They have a neat lattice sort of […]
Strange Foods Confession: Swiss Cheese Quesadilla
One of my favorite snacks is the quesadilla. It’s simple and makes for a wonderful snack. I make it a point to have some tortillas on hand for this purpose. During the week I’ll often make sandwiches using a ratio of 3 cold cuts to every 1 slice of cheese. The result is always leftover […]
RoodonFood and the Most Interesting Man in the World Recommend: Curry Express
Here in New York, locals refer to the Murray Hill neighborhood of Manhattan as Curry Hill because of the large number of Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi restaurants concentrated around Lexington between 25th and 29th street, just north of Gramercy Park. The most famous is probably Curry in a Hurry because it has been around since […]
Firestone Walker Union Jack IPA Beer
I picked up this bottle of Firestone Walker Union Jack IPA at one of Park Slope’s best stores for selection, Bierkraft. The brand based out of Paso Robles, CA is new to me. Incidently, this fine beer allowed me to get through an hour of the disappointing movie Rum Diary (Johnny Depp is usually in […]
