Snack #9: Karison’s Toasted Corn
I was looking for snacks to add into the weekly rotation and came across Karison’s Toasted Corn at Punjabi Deli. The small 5oz bag was only $2. It has a simple ingredient list of sweet corn, salt and canola oil. It’s also made locally in Flushing, NY too boot. They give you a great crunch. […]
Snack #8: Haldiram’s Aloo Bhujia
Haldiram’s Aloo Bhujia, are we starting to get serious? This makes twice in a row I bought you over plain jane Bhujia at the legendary Punjabi Deli. Your flavor is extremely different. You have the familiar potato flavor profile but along with it you get a hint of mint (mint powder) and a pleasant citrus […]
Snack #7: Tao Kae Noi Japanese Crispy Seaweed
Tao Kae Noi Japanese Crispy Seawead Seaweed is either starting to get trendy or a distributor seems to be cutting some good deals as it’s available at my two nearest bodegas. I had to try it out. How could I not? Look at how happy the fellow on the front of the packet looks. Don’t […]
Easter Candy: Cadbury Cream Eggs Now Available
Cadbury Crème Eggs Fantastic news. Cadbury Crème Eggs are now available at least one retailer: CVS. I spotted and promptly bought a handful. Valentine’s Day just ended so the candy hearts are gone at retail outlets. There is no lag time these days between holidays, this means they’re already stocked up for Easter related stuff. […]
Unnecessary Liveblogging: Spoonbread is forthcoming…..this is very exciting
The spoonbread will be ready in around 30 minutes and I’m super excited. I don’t know much about baking and am a cornbread novice. (Not counting a delicious Chi-Chi’s Sweet Corn Cake packet from the grocery. I can’t find a link to the product itself so that is a copycat link). Yesterday I mentioned on […]
Valentine’s Day Candies of Choice: York Peppermint Patties
In debating candies, you must decide which candies are tastiest and most presentable. In the Valentine’s Day candy aisle of the local Rite Aid, it actually ended up a no-brainer: heart-shaped York peppermint patties. The Valentine’s patties are shaped like hearts. As a man this sounds silly but for the purpose of the holiday it […]
Snack #5: Real Deal Veggie Chips
Name: Real Deal! Veggie Chips Strange looking packaging? I guess it’s meant to be on a table, not unlike the roodonfood header image. Anyways, these chips are a strange bowl shape but are very addictive. You clearly taste the sweetness of the peas, the primary ingredient. They’re baked and per the package are 80% less […]
Snack #4: Archer Farms Black Pepper and Sea Salt Baked Potato Chips
Topping the list this week are Archer Farms Black Pepper and Sea Salt Baked Potato Chips. Archer Farms is the Target store brand. Pretty much all of their crunchies are delicious. Name: Archer Farms Black Pepper & Sea Salt Baked Potato Crisps Flavor: Delivers a satisfying crunch with that slight sweetness that seems to always […]
Snack #3: Seven-Eleven Brand Original Kettle Style Potato Chips.
Name: 7-11 Original Kettle Style Potato Chips Forgetting to pickup crunchies on the way back from the grocery store, I stopped at the corner 7-11. I tried the Kettle Chips on a whim. I learned it’s not just for utility (7-11 store brand stuff is only $2.99). The primary appeal is actually the flavor. Despite […]
Snack #2: Cheetos “Simply Natural” White Cheddar Puffs
Name: Frito Lay Natural White Cheddar Cheetos And the award for the food that looks like food you would be rationed whilst living outside of the Matrix or conceived of being by a focus group of little kids goes to….White Cheddar Cheetos (Frito Lay). Not pretty to look at but awful delicious. I don’t know […]
