Jubilat Provisions in Brooklyn: Go for the smoked meats, stay for the puffed corn
My favorite place for kielbasy in the area is called Jubilat Provisions located on 608 5th Avenue @ 17th St in Brooklyn. If you keep your eyes peeled in addition to the selection of smoked meats, cold cuts, mustards, and pickles you’ll occasionally spot some interesting snack items. My interest in trying new foods has […]
Stogo Dairy Free Ice Cream
Last week my vegan gluten free girlfriend and I had a great time at the Big Apple Barbeque which I mentioned here. Well, I should say, she patiently watched me eat various smoked and grilled meats and smiled. To walk off some of those meaty delicious calories and as a thank you to her, we […]
Daily Crave Veggie Chips
The Daily Crave Veggie Chips were purchased for $3 on sale at my local grocery store. The black and white newspaper theme of the package cleverly makes the chip color pop on the front. A new brand of veggie chip though and the price point is what made me pull the trigger though. Similar to […]
Bikaji Aloo Bhujia
One of my regular bhujia suppliers, Foods of India, was out of Haldiram’s Aloo Bhuija. I was able to battle back from sadness because luckily they carry Bikaji’s Aloo Bhujia as well. The bag size was 14.12 oz (400g) for $3.99. The ingredients are potato, gram flour, lentil flour, tapioca starch, salt, mango powder, chili, […]
Herr’s Dark Russet Kettle Cooked Potato Chips
This brand is always worth it for the name alone. When I read the name “Herr’s” I’m tempted to pronounce it “Hurr” like southern rappers. For example: Lets get a bag of Hurr’s Chips up in Hurr. I instantly regret writing that. Please accept my apology. Actual Review: The Pennsylvania Fertile Snack Belt continues its […]
The Power of the Kale Lobby
In the last few years kale has been everywhere. Every TV Doctor, every magazine, every online publisher are beating us over the head about how nutritious this leafy green is. One quick sampling from WebMD shows just how good it is: One cup of kale contains 36 calories, 5 grams of fiber, and 15% of […]
Breakfast Food Ideas: Arepas
On most mornings I’ll eat one of four things for breakfast: cereal, yogurt, waffles or maybe oatmeal. Tasty things to be sure but it’s easy to get burned out with the repetition. I like American staples like eggs and pancakes but variety is key. Thankfully after some amazing arepas at Bogota Latin Bistro during Brooklyn […]
Delponte’s Bakery in Bradley Beach, New Jersey – Gluten Free Cookies and All of the Good Things
Delponte’s is THE bakery of Bradley Beach. Seriously. It’s the only one (not counting a Cupcake place). Thankfully though, it’s a really good one. You walk inside and it’s wall to wall baked goods. Over the course of a couple of weeks I tried many items. (Tasty baked goods are a vice of mine). My […]
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 […]
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 […]
