Chia Pods Blueberry Flavor Review
Chia products are popping up faster than Russian troops on a Ukranian border. With protein, fiber, omega 3s and minerals it’s not strange to see why. Scanning my local grocery store for shiny orange “special” stickers I spotted Chia Pods in the yogurt case. I was excited because the package is very sexy and even […]
Nuggle Chocolate (Product of Trinidad and Tobago)
The Nuggle bar is kind of like the Trinidad and Tobago version of the Baby Ruth bar. It has peanuts, caramel, fudge and chocolate. These things sound good on paper but the end result isn’t as tasty as expected. One the positive side it’s packed with peanuts. On the negative side, the caramel and fudge […]

Sweet Saturday: Las Sevillanas Oblea Con Cajeta De Leche De Cabra, 30g Review
This Mexican candy needs a little bit of translation. An oblea is a dessert featuring two thin circular wafers with fillings in between like dulce de leche, jam or even cheese. In addition to Mexico, they’re popular in El Salvador, Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezula. Cajeta is a caramelized condensed milk. In this case, de cabra […]
How to Eat Jicama and an Indian Connection
Jicama is a root vegetable native to Mexico. It’s high in Vitamin B6, C, iron as well as dietary fiber. Shaped somewhat like a conch shell or less creatively, a giant brown radish, it has a thin skin which gives way to white flesh inside. It has a grainy, mildly sweet taste but with the […]
Superbowl Sunday Provisions
Happy Superbowl Sunday or as Stephen Colbert calls it “Superb Owl Sunday.” Today the Seattle Seahawks and their young QB Russell Wilson take on the Denver Broncos and future hall of famer Peyton Manning. With the top defense (Seattle) taking on the top offense (Denver), here’s to an exciting game. I don’t have specific allegiance […]
Tiki Gold Coconut Craze (Product of Trinidad & Tobago)
Tiki Gold bars hail from the island nation of Trinidad & Tobago. Given its island roots, coconut flavoring isn’t surprising. It’s an average size candy bar with a chocolate coating and multiple wafer tiers. On opening the packet a sweet coconut aroma emerges which is frustrating since there is no real coconut in the bar. […]
Lesser Evil Super 4 White Bean Bites Review
Lesser Evil’s Super 4 reads like a who’s who of SEO terms/hot foods right now, featuring quinoa, lentil, chia and white bean. The full description is “Superfood Alkaline Crunchy White Bean Bites” which to me reads like a title for a psychedelic album. Most snacks will feature one or two icons such as gluten free […]
