OMG!!!! How did I miss this?!?!?!?!

one2one · 08-31-2015, 06:23 PM

My grocery store was doing a demo of these, and they are great. I took home the chicken ones but am going back for more. I'm not an expert on tamales, but they are delicious and super quick and easy to reheat.

Trader Joe's is carrying Kim Chi again. This is good.

There is a food truck that comes to my job some days....

Thai Fish Tacos - Sautéed wild Alaskan Flounder, mango & cilantro slaw, Romaine, on flour or corn tortillas.

They also have aweseome fried kale chips as well as sweet potato fries with a dipping sauce = yum!

I've found the Hershey's Kisses Dark Chocolate filled with Mint Truffle to be my latest and favorite discovery!

Dr. Feelgood · 11-20-2015, 07:10 PM

Although I like several Middle Eastern dishes, I'm not always up for trying to make tzatziki sauce or baba ganouj* from scratch. So I am very happy to have discovered a company called Falafel King, which makes excellent versions of both.

*Eggplant makes me happy. I'm not sure why this is.

I recently ordered food gifts online some Lindt chocolates/pralines at www.allyouneedfresh.de/
site is in german but if you put Lindt into search box top of page you can view their chocolates.

Going to order these online for a gift, did you try any other ones to recommend?
Just wondering..

I've also tried the black bean ones but would not recommend them because they are rather dry. Even when I used chili like a sauce and spooned it over the top of them. Let me know what your friend thinks of them! They come packaged in a cute cotton, draw-string bag.

Ruby Ripples · 04-18-2016, 08:38 PM

Sorry about the dark photo. I got this posh chocolate from Aldi. It is dark chocolate and comes in five little separately wrapped bars inside the main package. It has chocolate mousse inside, and lovely cherry syrup. However, it also contains red chilli which I had somehow missed on the packaging. The first I knew was that my lips were burning a bit. The chilli adds nothing flavour-wise and the chocolate would just be so much nicer without it.

Dr. Feelgood · 04-19-2016, 07:31 AM

I've seen chocolate bars in the store that include chili peppers, and, being a fan of Mexican, Indian, and Thai cuisine, I decided to try one. Like Ruby, I didn't think the heat added anything. Maybe the idea is to combine pleasure with pain?

Haha yes chocolate for masochists. I think it's just another fad, hopefully one that will disappear soon!

Dr. Feelgood · 11-08-2016, 11:22 AM

Peppadews! They are a kind of pepper from South Africa (according to Wikipedia) or, possibly, Peru (according to the lady at the deli). They look like tiny, red pumpkins, and they are sweet, spicy and addictive.

**SoVerySoft** · 11-08-2016, 11:36 AM

I love peppadews!

Deacone · 11-10-2016, 06:13 AM

I've been addicted to these recently. Found in Aldi!

Fuzzy · 05-31-2017, 09:04 PM

These are a thing

plushkitty · 06-01-2017, 05:49 PM

Trader Joe's just brought back English Butter Fudge! I am so happy, people. This stuff is a sugar lover's dream. It's basically just butter, sugar, and sweetened condensed milk. I have to be careful not to eat it all at once and make myself sick. If you've had a Scottish sweet called tablet, this is quite similar. Real Scottish tablet is a lot more expensive and hard to find in these parts though.

I kind of wish I'd bought more than one package, but I didn't want to look like the glutton I am in front of my friend...

Just recently found these soft Peaches - Haribo which are new to me. I miss going to the grocery shops hence I discover things quite late by chance online.

Mounds or Milky Way dark always sound good to me.

Fuzzy · 06-03-2017, 11:20 PM

I bought mine in a cold store so the outer shell was brittle and had already broken off the cookie part. Still very tasty

It's so good! If there's a British imports store near you, they'll probably have tablet. There are several brands on Amazon too. Get lots, it's addictive!
