BelleIsle Vegetable Egg Rolls
I found these delicacies awhile back at my local supermarket while hiding my Hostess cupcakes from the roving bands around the organic food displays. The package was as alluring as the name. BelleIsle Egg Rolls. Sounded like a Caribbean cruise theme night. I grabbed a box of veggie style, creeping back via [...]

Green Giant Frozen Corn on the Cob
If I could find that Green Giant guy, I’d whack him over the head with one of these frozen freaks of nature. Judging by his picture on the package, he isn’t that big either. Better yet, I’ll sic those Children of the Corn kids on him. The lab hummed [...]

CHEEMO Tribites, Burrito Flavour
I was sitting around the test lab, having a few beer and listening to George Jones sing When The Last Curtain Falls when I asked myself, Mark, is there a Cheemo product you haven’t tried? I put on some pants and headed to IGA to examine the frozen food morgue. There I [...]

Planter’s Cracked Black Pepper Pistachios
I’ve always trusted the nut with the monocle so when I saw this new product I thought, “ah Mr. Peanut, you’ve outdone yourself this time.” Although i have to say I was a little skeptical. I love pistachios in their unadulterated form so the idea of cracked black pepper speckling their [...]

Kettle New York Cheddar and Herb Potato Chips
I’m always wary of crispy ‘tater purveyors who brand their product with a gourmet slant. Usually that means I’m kissing away all my favourite additives and reaching my blind grub-worm fingers into a bag of dry, mummified potato slivers that have all the flavour of an old serviette [...]

Doritos Black Pepper Jack Tortilla Chips
The first thing that attracted me to these children of the corn offspring was the packaging. A kind of shimmering silvery affair that reminded me of a Romulan’s clothing. Sleek and designed to mete out justice of an intergalactic kind with a “take no prisoners” attitude. Being a big fan [...]
T-Boned By A ‘Tater

This post is courtesy of Mr. Shimmer, my guest reviewer. More about Shimmer later but suffice to say he’s a gnarly old guy in yellow seersucker slacks and what he claims are snakebites on his forehead from his days as a self-ordained minister in an Appalachian snakehandling church. I haven’t tasted these chips so I [...]
