Product Review: Cheez Doodles Crunch Jalapeno Cheddar

In case you didn’t already know, I really like chips.  I really like Cheez Doodles (preferred over Cheetos).  I like crunchy, salty snacks over chocolate or candy.  So when I saw these in a local small store by me, I got really excited because I’d never seen them before, and sometimes you want something to punch things up a bit.  My primary concern was if these might be too spicy for me, since I’m a spice-wuss, and Trader Joe’s wasabi-cheese-crunchy-things that are like Cheez Doodles are really too spicy for me.Nope!  These had a nice kick, but still pretty [...]

Product Review: Pop Chips

I picked up a bag of PopChips recently.  I’d had them once before in a goodie bag and really liked it, though I can’t recall what flavor that was.  The texture was just on key – super crunchy and awesome.  Unfortunately, this flavor fell flat for me.  It had these weird sharp notes that didn’t jibe with my impression of the awesome that parmesan and garlic paired together should be.  Texturally, still awesome.  This flavor?  Not so much.Yvo says: If this product weren’t so prohibitively expensive ($1 or more for a small, small bag), I would love to [...]

Product Review: Bordeaux

I asked my sister if she wanted me to bring anything beyond what we’d already discussed for one of our many holiday meals.  “Yes,” she said.  “Wine if you have… a nice white or red.”  Clearly, FeistySis just doesn’t know me that well; despite not knowing much about wine (which I’ve mentioned here a few times, and actually isn’t entirely true; I’m definitely more than an amateur but nowhere near an oenophile), I have a never-empty-usually-close-to-full wine rack.  I grabbed the two latest additions – a white AND a red – to the ‘collection’ (not really a collection, it’s [...]

Product Review: Roni Sue’s Pig Candy

I recently attended the Chocolate Show, and was happy to see not only that Roni Sue had a booth, but they were selling packets of their Pig Candy.  A year or two ago, the entire food-blog-world lit up with talk of this – chocolate covered bacon! – but it was really hard for me to get over to Essex Market, where their shop is, before they closed on weekdays, so I never managed to go.  But here it was!  Ready for my $5!  Unfortunately, she only had mixed bags (milk & dark chocolates), as opposed to just dark, but [...]

Product Review: Dr. Oetker’s Frozen Pizza

I was recently offered the chance to try Dr. Oetker’s frozen pizza.  Dr. Oetker is a German brand/company whose claim to fame is being the best selling frozen pizza in Italy.  And now they’re available in the US.  Got that?  My boyfriend actually received the deliveries for me, and begged me to let him eat the pizza.  Without me.  Before I’d even taken photographs.  AS IF!!!  Hahaha.  His arguement was that he’d certainly eaten more frozen pizza than I had in his entire lifetime; while that may true, I’ve also eaten my fair share and just… no!  My pizza!  [...]
