Snack #12: Voskos Greek Yogurt
The Greek Yogurt trend is one I can get behind. Every week there seems to be a new company selling their version, even Yoplait (which I don’t recommend). Ben and Jerry’s (Vermont) is even debuting 4 Frozen Greek Yogurt flavors. I can say with some pride that New York has become something of a regional […]
Snack #10: Bachman Sweet Potato Tortilla Chips
I absolutely love Bachman Sweet Potato Tortilla chips. They have the saltiness of standard tortilla chips while providing that unusual sweet from sweet potato flavor. I like to dip them with hummus so it always offers a nice contrast. If you need some variety from standard tortilla chips, these are a great option. From the […]
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 […]
Snack #6: Haldiram’s Nut Cracker
Name: Haldiram’s Nut Cracker I’m not usually a big fan of peanuts but as a fan of Haldirams I gave their Nut Cracker product a try. It comes in that odd 7.06 oz packet. They’re described as a “Spicy coated fried peanuts.” They are very tasty. They may be a little spicy for some though […]
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 […]
