Nancy's Organic Plain Whole Milk Yogurt

Nancy's Organic Plain Whole Milk Yogurt is yogurt. I mean, it has the quality of being plain yogurt. I guess I’d call it good, but as yogurt goes it is what one would expect.

I don’t think I need much out of yogurt other than it just being something to, but my fruit in but this is great for that.

Seattle’s Best Toasted Hazelnut Coffee

Seattle’s Best Toasted Hazelnut Coffee smells of hazelnut. Well, it smells like hazelnut coffee which has a clear smell to it.

It tastes nothing like hazelnut coffee, and being a light roast it doesn’t taste that much like coffee. Not everyone likes their coffee black as death like me.

This was on sale and it is coffee in a time when coffee is more expensive, and I’m glad to have it on the cheap. I would drink this myself but I wouldn’t serve it to a guest.

Quaker Instant Oatmeal, Hot Cocoa

I never knew much about oatmeal but when you look at Quaker Instant Oatmeal, Hot Cocoa you say “that’s all you get?” These little things are the right amount of simple carbs for a start to the morning. I ate most of them dry.

 

If you used them the way I do and add fruit and yogurt they can be a part of a balanced meal. I’m not sure if they will be worth dirtying what bowls you have as most people don’t have one small enough for this kind of thing.

 

Anyway, flavor wise I would call them chocolate but wouldn’t say hot chocolate comes to mind.

Castello Garlic & Herb Whipped Cheese Dip

 I almost never eat Cheese Dip but this Castello Garlic & Herb Whipped Cheese Dip was on sale and there was no hummus I hadn’t tried to be had. Whipped or  not cheese dip is just not as good for you as hummus.

This dip sure had a lot of flavor and it was very good even if it was the kind of thing that makes you need to brush your teeth after. I still found it to be a bit much for chips and you needed good fresh cucumber to scoop this but if you have everything right it is delightful.

I think this would be welcome at a dinner party but I also think it’s going to be what you put on the carrots.

Budweiser


  Budweiser has never been a big name in my house but then I don't drink beer very often. I can say that I like to keep my beer mugs in the freezer because beer is best had in a mug so cold the beer freezes on the side. 

that said, Budweiser is mildly bitter when not cold and can be heavier than I would like for this kind of beer. 

Now, it's hard to say that there is anything wrong with Budweiser because it is one of the most consumed beers in the US, but you should know that if you're beer is not as good as Bud, you should go home.

Oscar Mayer Beef Cotto Salami Original

Oscar Mayer is a trusted name in meat but I think you should really think about this Beef Cotto Salami Original. It’s not that it tastes bad but more that it has whole pepper corns and those tend to be hard to chew and get caught in your mouth. I spit them out.

I never did get why you would use whole pepper corns for anything because I don’t feel they add much to the flavor. I like the look of crack pepper better and it does add to the flavor a good deal.

If you buy this meat you should know that there will be hard to chew bits that don’t go well with a sandwich. Past that it’s fine. I mean, it has a strong flavor.

Scoops Ahoy Pineapple Upside Down Ice Cream

In honor of the Upside down from Stranger Things and Pineapple Upside down Cake comes Scoops Ahoy Pineapple Upside Down Ice Cream. It tastes like pineapple. I’ve never had pineapple upside down cake so I have no idea what it tastes like but I would think it would be sweeter than this.

I will say that this is a fine enough flavor but nothing really out there. I can’t even say that it’s anything but pineapple and maybe some vanilla. I would say that as ice cream goes this isn’t bad. Not an evil replication of the real world inhabited by monsters with flower mouths but not bad.
