I used to hate pretzels. They weren’t even a snack options to me, I couldn’t stand even smelling an open bag and being on a plane only serving pretzels for snacks was torture to me. Then one day a couple of years ago I was really hungry, for some reason there were only [...]
I love getting egg rolls when I go out for Chinese* food. Especially at my all-time favorite restaurant that I’ve been going to since I was a little egg roll myself, Pago-Pago in Milford, MA.
My sister was a fan of the La Choy egg rolls when we were teenagers, realising we didn’t have to listen to [...]
Of course most of us are familiar with Rice Krispie Treats, just like mom used to make (not my mom of course, that would be too normal) packaged as individually wrapped (90 calorie) bars.
It seems kind of convenient that the competitor product, awkwardly named Marshmallow Squares Crispy Rice, is made a company called “Maxi Crisp”. [...]
I really had to mentally prep before doing this, which meant voiding any thought of the processing plants for either of these products. I know SPAM has it’s fans and I can appreciate that, but to me it’s always been this nightmareish conglomerate of meats that isn’t really meant for eating so I had [...]
Sooo sorry for the lack of posting. I won’t get into the details but things have been crazy but I fully intend on keeping up with the snacks. My stupid non-snacking life takes over sometimes.
Anyway, I’m not usually a fan of pre-made canned salads, I’ve seen other offerings like chicken and ham salad in a [...]
Ethan and I went to at our friends’ (Mark and Sara) house and in addition to my retro Marushka cake, we brought over a tub of Alouette and Rondele (I know they both don’t use capitalization but I can’t help it) both in the “garlic and herbs” variety. It’s kind of funny that Sara also [...]
Smartfood was created in the mid-80’s and I believe in good ol’ Massachusetts. Before it was bought by Frito-Lay, Ethan pointed out they used to have little facts or something interesting on the back of the bag that he liked reading. Frito-Lay just talks about how awesome Smartfood is.
I think there are a few different [...]
One night for dinner my sister made panko-crusted chicken fingers and we had to get some honey mustard for it. I know it sounds lame but just mixing honey and mustard together never tastes the same as bottled stuff and we felt that trying two jarred honey m’s that are in the refrigerated [...]
I used to hate salsa, then sometime during college, I worked at a “Tex-Mex” restaurant and got used to it. Not really into it like some peoplebecause I’m not big on spicy foods but I learned to appreciate it as a dip/condiment. While I’m lucky enough to be visiting my sister Elaine and brother-in-law Zac, we [...]
Magic Shell was introduced in the 80’s at some point. My sister and I were so excited to try it. I tried to find a commercial for it on YouTube but there aren’t any. I just remember we were impressed and got permission to bring it into the house. Most supermarkets don’t carry an equivalent but [...]
