Voskos Greek Yogurt Blueberry + Granola
Image Source I’ve started to see these Voskos Greek Yogurts with Granola more frequently of late. Once again I purchased because they were on sale for $1. The granola is in a separate compartment which can be conveniently flipped over directly into the yogurt side. The amount of granola is a little stingy but still […]
Britannia Nice Time Biscuits
Britannia Nice Time Biscuits are my favorite Indian biscuit. Not because of taste alone but because of association. It always makes me think of visiting family in Kolkata. At tea time we’d almost always have these biscuits. I love the sprinkled sugar and faint coconut flavor. They also have a fun rectangular shape and crinkled edges […]
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 […]
Haldiram’s Karodpati
Haldiram’s Karodpati are a fun treat. Unlike several of the previously reviewed snacks, there is no amchur or similar spice to create a tang. This snack is all about crunch. Once again the primary ingredient is the tepary bean. The flavor is reminiscent of ganthia but with more spice. On a spice scale of 1 […]
Hybrid Snacks: Baked Beans + Hashbrown + Bhel Mix
At any given time I keep several foods on hand if I’m in a bind for a quick meal, among them are: Hash brown patties, baked beans, and bhel mix. When you combine the three together, you get salty from the hash brown and bhel and the sweet from the baked beans. Because of the […]
Hershey’s Special Dark – a serious question
Why do they place you in variety packs when we all know you’re so much better than the other chocolates? You are forced to live with inferior chocolates like Krackel and Mr. Goodbar. Of course, to make you last longer I must eat the others but it feels laborious at times. I have love for […]
Snikiddy Baked Fries: Gluten Free (Classic Ketchup Flavor)
Here’s the deal. Because of this gluten free thing I’ve tried to keep my eyes open for new tasty snacks which meet dietary restrictions. In the crunchies category there are tons of corn/tortilla, or sweet potato chips out there. Very few however aspire to have flavors beyond the base ingredients. The Snikiddy Baked Fries are […]
Asian Gourmet Rice Crackers (Sesame): Gluten Free
When my girlfriend switched to gluten free it caused a reassessment in what to buy when we snack together. A happy discovery was rice crackers. Lately I’ve enjoyed the Asian Gourmet Rice Crackers (Sesame) (another good brand is the ubiquitous KA-ME). They’re baked and low in fat. The packet was only $1.79 for a 3.5 […]
Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Cheddar
Normally snacks with faces would disturb me. I prefer my foods to be anonymous, faceless vessels of deliciousness. Pepperidge Farm Goldfish “the snack that smiles back” is perhaps the only exception. Pepperidge Farm is masterful at charming packaging. Who doesn’t like a snack that is sold quaintly in a paper bag? The cheddar flavor is […]
