17,000 | For someone who doesn't have an Asian/Korean market near, this is an affordable & delicious coffee! I got a few of my American colleagues hooked on this too! |
17,001 | These are wonderful all-natural snacks (3 flavors available) which I discovered while on a hiking trip to Yellowstone. Not yet available in CT (that I could find) - so I had to resort to trusty Amazon. They are made in Washington State: No preservatives, Non-GMO, Vegan, Kosher, Dairy-free, Gluten-free, no date paste filler, no peanuts - and BEST of all (to quote the packaging): "no strange substances from the lab". You've got to try these! |
17,002 | I was deployed to Iraq and we were given these to help stay hydrated. I got back and couldn't find Tang Sport anywhere, so I turned to the internet. They cost more than Propel and Crystal Light, but they taste way better. There is no after taste with this product. The lemon-lime is the best, but the fruit punch isn't bad either. The taste of Tang Sport is closer to Gatorade than it is to Propel and Crystal Light. I highly recommend this product! |
17,003 | If you want a truly healthy, filling snack, you must give these a try, as well as their sisters, the Vanilla Bean Almonds. They are both just lightly sweetened, and fragrant with either the cinnamon or the vanilla, depending on which you choose. The container is marvelous; there is a half flip top which is easy to do with one hand (like in the car). And they're not roasted in more oil, so the almonds are "meaty" and sweet. And almonds are SOOO good for you. I'd recommend that you try them, and then get an Amazon subscribe and save if you can. It's well worth it! And all natural. LOVELY! |
17,004 | I'm on Weight Watchers but I loooove peanut butter!! I've been craving it so badly but it's such a high point count, so I haven't had any, and when I saw this PB2 I knew I just HAD to try it! My husband thought I was crazy, but what did he know?! It actually tastes REALLY good! I was very impressed! I've used it so far by itself on toast, and in a PB & J sandwich and I'm very happy with it. I get to enjoy peanut butter again for half the points!!!! If you're on a diet and love peanut butter, definitely try this! The first time I added too much water, which made it way too creamy, but since then I've lessened the water and it has a natural peanut butter consistency. |
17,005 | Bought these by mistake (I thought I was re-ordering the chocolate peanut ones) and I'm so glad I did. Imagine a crunchy, caramelly peanut bar that tastes too good to be good for you. This is it! As a diabetic, I have to be judicious in my use of carbs. This is worth the 27 grams in each bar. Try and enjoy! |
17,006 | Man - these are fantastic little single-serving packets! I love that I can throw them in my purse or lunchbox for a quick shot of protein to have with fruit or whatever. They are perfectly portioned out already and taste amazing! You do have to squeeze the packets back and forth a bit before using them to break up the natural oils, but overall, they're really handy! I can't wait to try the other flavors too. |
17,007 | I have a wrapper from a single teabag of Nummi Tarry Lapsang Souchong, and the wrapper alone smells stronger after being opened for two months than a whole 3.5 oz bag of this smells fresh. This tea only has a light smoky scent and flavor, whereas the Nummi tea had a strong pine smoke scent and taste. I know that tarry lapsang souchong should be stronger, but I'm still a little disappointed at how weak this one is. Maybe I'll just use more tea for stronger batches. |
17,008 | I love this mix so much! I follow the directions on the package, although I usually have to bake a bit longer than the instructions state. I make mine in a silicone bake pan and it turns out great. My entire family loves this bread, and I'm the only gluten free eater! |
17,009 | My dad said that he had looked everywhere for the Ludens Cough drops that he had taken, in his younger years, for coughing. He did not care for the taste or effectivness of the ones made today. He is very pleased that we have been able to find the cough drops and a reliable supplier. I was please with the ease of ordering and speediness of receiving. |
17,010 | I purchased these tea bags in hope for a good night sleep. The first night I drank it, I slept great. I have continued to drink this every night and I still sleep well but I find myself waking up in the middle of the night once in a while. I do find myself urinating more often so maybe it is cleaning me out. No bad side effects, tastes good alone, no sugar or honey needed. I recommended this to my family and co workers and they all love it. I discovered this from Dr. Oz. Hoping to continue to sleep well. |
17,011 | It was fragrant. My house smelled like basmati rice for hours.The cooked grains don't have that fragrant smell though. This cooked really quickly - a lot quicker than expected.
I'm happy with my purchase. |
17,012 | It's true that warm, gooey, homemade marshmallow treats, will beat any prepackaged marshmallow treat. But I recently discovered the Glenny's brand of treats, and have enjoyed a number of their products. At 100 calories, it's easy to keep track of how much you're indulging. These satisfy that crunchy, chewy texture craving that I get. I don't have any issue with gluten intolerance, I just am trying to find low-calorie snack alternatives to other fat-laden treats. These fulfill that role for me. |
17,013 | It is crispy in milk and the perfect mix of sweet and sour! I tried other gluten free granolas but they all get soggy. |
17,014 | This has given my young dog persistent loose stools. My older dog also had problems with loose stools on the adult formula, which was immediately rectified by a change to Innova. See the large number of serious complaints on the web about the new formulation before buying. |
17,015 | I love the the taste of this k-cup it just might be my favorite
it is a wonderful taste for a morning cup of coffee i look forward do drinking it
it makes me feel good and special to drink this k-cup well done cheers
to another great k-cup! |
17,016 | I got these for my mom last Mother's Day and they were amazingly tasty. If you like figs even a little bit you will love these things.
Truly there is nothing I could compare the taste to becuase the flavor is so unique.
They are expensive, but seeing as how you can't get anything else like this anywhere and they are so delicious, they are worth every penny. |
17,017 | I've gotten some pretty good bags but sometimes they are sooooo gross with the snouts and other weird parts. It is definitely a hit or a miss because I got one bag that was full of snouts and knuckle bones, but the bags with the texas toothpicks and flossies are awesome :) I recommend this if you have a big and a small dog because then they both have something to chew on. I usually have to throw out the huge knuckle bones and the snouts because they're too big and plus the snouts are kind of gross. It's worth it if you get a good bag! |
17,018 | I have a confession to make: I eat baby food. I'm not a kid, and I'm not even a mother, so I can't make the excuse that I'm testing it to make sure it tastes okay for my baby. I'm a college student with no kids. It's just so easy! And baby food and dog food are so much healthier than adult human food most of the time (no, I don't eat dog food too!).
These are the things I like about this particular item. It's super convenient with its little pouch that you can carry with you wherever you go and drink out of. It's mess-free. It's extremely healthy, with fruits, veggies, and chia seeds. It's also fairly low in sugar compared to a similar product I have also tried, the Peter Rabbit Organics pouches (11g compared to 12-23g). Plus it's cheaper.
The only things I don't like about this product are the taste and texture, but if your baby doesn't know better, (s)he might not mind. The Peter Rabbit Organics brand has a better taste, although with twice the sugar in some varieties, it's not hard to imagine why. The texture of the chia seeds is also annoying, but I put up with it because a) I already paid for it and b) they have Omega 3s, which are very good for you.
With subscribe & save, I paid about a dollar per pouch, which isn't too bad. It's not too filling for an adult, but when paired with a mini Clif bar, it makes a healthy snack for less than the Fillet O Fish I would otherwise get at McDonald's. |
17,019 | This is a very tasty soup for low sodium or otherwise. I will buy it again. |
17,020 | If you can't get enough of the peanut butter taste, this product is for you! The taste is really strong and it is great! Perfect for shakes and just about anything that is blended. |
17,021 | I've tried the Sumatra and French Roast and are hands down my favorite k-cups. I prefer a dark, robust flavor and these hit the mark better than any other brand I've tried - and I've tried just about all the dark roasts!
This morning I tried the Pike's Place, a medium roast, and it was superb. not as strong as the dark roasts but still intense in flavor - and better than most other dark roast brands even though it is medium.
Overall, just packed with flavor more so than other k-cups - and I do enjoy some of the other dark roasts too, but Starbucks simply nailed my personal taste. |
17,022 | When I lived in Europe my mother used to get these fresh and strain them. These have the same taste just add honey. Also according to Dr. Oz this is great for your hair. |
17,023 | This is really a good drink. I just don't like to drink water and this is the next best thing, if not better! |
17,024 | I love this stuff, it's my absolute favorite food! Other brands make tabouli that is dry or has little flavor, this stuff is just perfect! I add extra tomatoes to mine and make 2-3 batches at a time to eat in a big pot while watching television. |
17,025 | They will "give me the paw" for the original flavor. I figured they would like this one as well and hit it spot on. The kitties love it.
I do mix it with another treat to "stretch" it a bit, but they gobble it up and enjoy it as a treat never the less. I subscribe to this so I never run out. I highly recommend the subscription service as its cheaper than the store and free shipping. >^..^< |
17,026 | Very handy, my only regret (that I knew going into the purchase) is that it does not hold more T-discs. |
17,027 | Taste great. Will be using it for tea and mixing ACV. This was my first time trying RAW honey, and I love it. I could eat a spoonful by itself,or spread it on/mix it with many things. I will buy more in the future when this is all gone, but it might go pretty fast. |
17,028 | We had these beans in bloody mary's while in New Orleans. AMAZING. We now know where to get them, so we can have awesome Bloody mary's here in Chicago. We have to make our own. No one here knows how to prepare a good Bloody mary. |
17,029 | Tastes just like you would get at restaurants!! It's a great way to find the flavor that you like the best too. |
17,030 | My sister is so addicted to these crackers! They're light & crunchy with just enough salt.... and 17 of them is a serving! |
17,031 | This is my favorite light roast. Any flavored creamer goes in it tasting great. As always, ordered $25 worth and got Free Super Saver Shipping!! |
17,032 | From their online information, these snacks looked so nutritious that they were almost too good to be true. However, I ended up only eating half of one bag, and throwing the rest away. I thought they tasted disgusting. |
17,033 | This product really sounds like a healthy alternative to a dinner side dish. I was very excited to try it. But the instructions are very poor. As this is a new item for me, I tried my best to prepare the vermicelli per the package directions, and added some parsley, hot pepper, garlic and shrimp to jazz it up a bit. It came out very dry and tasteless.
For those thinking of trying this, I hope you are very creative. Don't do what I did. Check online for a recipe or instructions that will make this a great meal addition. |
17,034 | This coffee looks great and this coffee sounds great, but it does not taste great! It had several off notes to it. It was weak and bland. Was it roasted properly? Bleh, skip this one. |
17,035 | My dog is in love with these treats. He comes running when I say, "Do you want a greeny?" Then he takes it under the bed to devour it. My dog's teeth and breath stay healthy due to his greenies in between brushings. Nice to get such a big box at this great price. |
17,036 | I had tried Weruva flavors with veggies in them and my cats either wouldn't eat as much of the bowl, would eat around them or kick the peas around the room! This one and the "paw lickin chicken" were preferred by them. There are huge chunks of fish in here that make you feel like you're opening it for yourself. |
17,037 | I think both the seller and amazon share the blame for this item purchased as a gift arriving totally unpresentable as a gift, and maybe inedible. You see, this item isn't really packaged for shipping or for freshness. The candies arrived having fallen out of their little compartments and jumbled in a heap to one end of the now bulging box. The candies are banged up and there's maple sugar dust all over the outside of the box. Packed this way, with no seal, I'm guessing the candies are hard as rocks. Very disappointed in this seller.
Now for amazon: the little plastic air pouches used in packing were completely deflated. This item was packed with an engagement calendar in a box that probably could have held three times as much merchandise. So the contents were obviously banged around a lot. I really don't have time to pack this up and run 9 miles to a post office to return it. |
17,038 | Our two Yorkies love this dog food and it is packed full of good stuff just for there breed. The shipping was quick and the packaging very sturdy. It is some times hard to find something that our Yorkies will eat. Since Yorkies are known for there sensitive stomachs. Our Yorkies eat this food with no problems. |
17,039 | I love the smell of Tilda Basmati rice and use my rice cooker to make it. Instead of water I use a can of chicken broth and instead of oil I use a tab of butter! It goes with any meal! I'm making myself hungry now with thoughts of chile over rice! I have had many other brands of rice but this one is marvelous! |
17,040 | Found this salt in a Utah cafe on a road trip in 2003-ish. At that time I could only get replacements from the company on line, but I'd bother ordering a bunch it every couple of years because I can tell my body really responds well to this salt. The taste is delicious, and I don't bloat or feel puffy from it. I have since tasted many other sea salts since they are now so trendy... This is still my favorite! Now they sell it in nearby grocery stores, but not the course grind that I love in the salt grinder. So I'm on line to buy again! Introduced it to a lot of friends over the years.... |
17,041 | We switched to hemp when my milk supply dried up (daughter was 15 months old at the time, and she's 19 months now). She loves the taste. We can give it to her cold or heated. Before we found hemp milk, we tried cow's and goat's milk, which gave her a diaper rash. We tried rice milk too, but there are so many natural sugars in rice milk, so she was pooping more and therefore more prone to a rash. We haven't had any issues with the hemp milk (note that we only give her the unsweetened original kind, which has ZERO sugars). It's expensive, but worth it for the health benefits. Amazon has the best price by far, if you do the subscribe and save option. We go through a case about every 3 weeks. One carton fills about 3.5 8-oz bottles, and she usually drinks two bottles per day. Living Harvest is the only brand I've found online or in stores that has the unsweetened original version. All the other brands or varieties have sugars. |
17,042 | NOT SURE WHAT I WAS GETTING MYSELF INTO BUT SERIOUSLY LIKING SPICY FOOD; I PURCHASED THE GHOST PEPPER SAUCE.
BE ADVISED IT IS MONSTERLY HOT; IF YOU USE TOO MUCH. I'VE USED IT IN WINGS AND CHILI IN MODERATION AND EVERYONE ENJOYED IT. THIS SAUCE IS NOT KID STUFF.
BE AFRAID BE VERY AFRAID!!! USE IT PROPERLY AND ENJOY THE HEAT. |
17,043 | We have used the Victor fly bait for 3 seasons. Can't beat it. Great product! |
17,044 | We adopted a mix breed that was approx 1 year old. His coat was coarse, dry and skin was flaky. He was licking his feet and shaking his head. Tried several brands and found that duck and lamb make him extremely gassy with a really rude odor. He loves the fish and sweet potato, his coat is like velvet now in just a couple short months. No more shedding or flaking and NO RUDE ODOROUS GAS problem. Highly recommend. |
17,045 | My 11 dogs love this so I say it is great! The tiny ones (toy poodles) get the almost straight food. The others get this mixed with their Bil-Jac. I am impressed with the ingredients. Not full of corn! Another thing I noticed... Every time I have fed my dogs any brand of straight canned dog food, with the exception of Science Diet, they had diarrhea. Not with this one. Not even one of them had it. That's a good thing. I ordered two more cases and will continue. The price is reasonable too and free shipping with Amazon Prime or free shipping with purchase over 25.00. |
17,046 | I normally prefer Starbucks pumpkin lattes to Dunkin donuts' but these kcups are amazing! Won't have to make my daily Starbucks visit! |
17,047 | It has a light citrus flavor with sort of a hint of vanilla to it. The bottle itself looks like a shampoo bottle. It's non-carbonated. I liked it well enough. Do I now feel more alert and ready to tackle my day into submission? Not really...actually, I am still extremely tired and crabby from being forced to wake up two freaking hours early to avoid the insane traffic brought on by the city's hosting of the RNC. Then, hey I'm actually awake and typing this review here for you instead of slumped in a fatigue induced coma drooling on my pile of work papers...so maybe it IS working. |
17,048 | I bought this for my 2 1/2 year old son, who has PKU. I've been looking for a peanut butter alternative for him so that he can have an actual sandwich, and we LOVE this product!!! It's so low in PHE (25 mg PHE/15 g serving!) that it's perfect on low protein bread, or to use as a dip with fruits and veggies. Plus, the whole family loves it! I highly recommend to, not just anyone with a low protein restricted diet, but to everyone in general! |
17,049 | After years of shoving pills down my dog's throat, I discovered these. I wish all veterinarians informed people of their existence when they prescribe medication. My dog things the meds are treats now-- it's fantastic!
P.S. If your dog needs daily meds I'd recommend buying these online to save some money; they cost nearly twice as much at my local Petco. |
17,050 | I loved the old Zico water in the square containers and couldn't wait for Amazon to get this in. I got the two cases I ordered today and it tastes terrible! It actually tastes like plastic or some sort of chemical/pesticide. Even after chilling it and pouring into a glass it is still not drinkable. Do not waste your money on this if you like real coconut water. Try the O.N.E. coconut water instead. It was my second favorite until now and I will never buy another bottle of ZICO.
Who cares if you can recycle the bottle if the product is not fit to drink? What a waste of $60! |
17,051 | Good price, product works as advertised and is better than most postal scales. Can weigh my food as well up to 55 lbs. LOL |
17,052 | We love these chips. They are much better for you than regular potato chips and really gourmet with the wonderful spices sprinkled on them. The pack of 12 6oz. bags was a real bargain. When you can find them, they are almost twice as expensive in a store. |
17,053 | I am saving a fortune by making my lattes at home. I feel so much better using Agave to flavor my coffee instead of all those super sugary flavored syrups. If you haven't tried agave, you are really missing out. |
17,054 | i ordered the red velvet pancake mix for valentines day and it was the best! Now i know where i can order this mix from it will be on my shopping list! |
17,055 | I notice that the most positive reviews are from a few years ago, and the most negative reviews are more recent. We used to buy these in larger containers at the local "healthy supermarket," and my family really liked them. That was a few years ago. Now, they sit in the back of the pantry and no one touches them--either the recipe changed or my family's tastes changed. They are dry, about half of them are broken, and they taste like sweetened cardboard. (We have the vanilla variety.) The individual packs are handy for hikes and portable snacks, but I've noticed that they frequently come back unopened. Guess I'll look for an alternative. |
17,056 | Acid is, oddly, the most benign of flavor amplifiers. Think about it. Sugar? Salt? Alcohol? Fat? I do not mean in any way to be a food fear monger. I merely point out that first glance, acid seems more menacing than any of those. For kitchen magic, acid rules mine. A splash of lime, coffee in my red-eye gravy, all those wonderful vinegars are lining my shelf.
Now the resurgence of an ancient and feisty acid, verjuice. It has largely been neglected outside of wine country. Most of mine comes from odd places in Bordeaux. But you can get this fine find from Fallot, a most reliable maker from Burgundy. You may know their fine mustards. This is one verjuice which you may confidently measure others against. Why?
Verjuice had not had modern marketing to spread its unique quality and flavor. Sour grapes, you say? Exactly. What do you do when the weather is so crumby that the grapes are not sweet enough for wine? A good excuse to press verjuice.
Now for the bad news. Verjuice is in resurgence. As with all things rediscovered, many are busy "helping" its image with a facelift. Culinary botox. From California to Australia, everybody is getting into the act; thin or flabby faux verjuice is hitting the shelves. All cute and flouncy, it has not the backbone and courage to do the heavy lifting in the kitchen. You might as well pour lemonade over your grilled salmon.
But here is the acidic glory. Taste it alone. Now you can compare anything you might run across. Some vineyards make the veritable verjuice. Next, try poaching gently some fresh and really ripe fruit. It loves to be swirled into your beurre blanc. Whip some into your best cream. Deglaze the roasting pan for some old time gravy. Nutmeg and a nice five pepper blend (don't forget the allspice) are all you need for your steamed vegetables. "What did you do?" And you can tell the truth. |
17,057 | These make drinking more water a reality for me. Nothing could be easier. I keep them in the desk at work. They are in the kitchen drawer and in the glove box of my car. Wonderful! |
17,058 | I've been feeding these to my 5 dogs for quite awhile and they love them . . . plus the little bones are very low cal, so I can give more rewards! The only thing about buying them online is that the cost per box is more than I pay in the grocery store . . . even w/ free shipping and buying in bulk. |
17,059 | I LOVE this product. I would do without food before I would do without this. The benefits are multiple - it helps keep you regular and also helps take the stress and tension out of your muscles. It does take 4-6 weeks to notice full change in your muscles. I certainly don't feel the stress in my upper back the way I use to - and I still do the same type of computer work day in and day out. I HIGHLY recommend this product. You won't regret it - and Amazon has the best price of anywhere I've found it so far. |
17,060 | I'd had this product shipped to me before from a relative living in Italy. They really have coffee in them, so you have to be careful not to bite them in half. There is a dark chocolate outer shell with some sort of praline lining the inside and finally coffee in the middle. If you are a coffee lover, then you must try it. I share my shipment with a few people at work that have also fallen in love with them. The company that makes these knows how to make quality chocolates.

17,061 | Starbucks is now trying medium roasts (as is its predecessor/rival, Peet's) Willow isn't named for Tara's girlfriend in Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Complete Series or for the '80s fantasy cult film Willow (Special Edition) with Val Kilmer. The Willow roast doesn't have a burnt taste, so it's better than other Starbucks blends. It's hearty, there are hints of cocoa, and blends well with any milk, dairy or otherwise. Apparently there's a Starbucks boycott going on spearheaded by The Abolition of Marriage: How We Destroy Lasting Love the National Organization for Marriage. Maybe they didn't try this delicious roast. Anybody would boycott burnt-tasting coffee, and that's easy to do. The Willow blend is hearty and delicious! |
17,062 | This product provides a little taste of sweet without consuming an entire roll of candy. |
17,063 | Was buying the Kona Blend until it dried up and then the price went through the roof. Tried several different K-Cup coffees until I found the Fog Chaser. Now I have it on my subscribe and save list. I have it sent to my office, my home, my son's home every month. It ain't Kona but it is almost as bold, the aroma fills the kitchen in the morning and that first sip is great every time.
And at 1/2 the price of the Kona, it is the "best bang for the buck". I'll never go back. |
17,064 | This tofu scrambler mix has been a big hit with the whole family! The price is hard to beat, and it makes healthy but bland tofu taste delicious. We are going to have to order some more soon. |
17,065 | I have never met anyone who didn't like these. I don't feel like the name truffles is an name for them though. I would describe them as a rich yet very fine chocolate powder that has been compressed into a cube, and then dusted with a finer chocolate powder to garnish. They're perfect. You'll know what I mean when you try them. Only downside is how addicting they are. Good luck having just one! |
17,066 | Good taste and flavour. Almost as a normal pasta. Tends to be a little dry, so must be fast mixed with the sauce. |
17,067 | I had previously purchased the chicken and the duck from this line so I wanted to try the beef liver.
Well, my dog likes the flavor but I don't like how dry they are. They have very sharp edges and I had to be creative to soften them a bit so that my dog wouldn't suffer from a rapture in the esophagus while eating them as they are. The other 2 (chicken + duck) are a little chewer than this one. I would not buy this again unless texture improves. |
17,068 | Leibniz cookies are truly my favorite, beyond what I make, I am a passionate cook. The whole wheat version of these are particularly superb with a subtly greater flavor than the original and a lovely, slightly more crumbly and grainy texture. It has been a wonderful discovery. Bon appetit. |
17,069 | these are the best chips out there.. nothing can beat this taste. if you like honey mustard then you will definitely like this.. once you eat it you wont stop..addicting stuff |
17,070 | I have now taken the Benecol caramels for about 8 months. Other then the caramels, I kept my diet the same including the consumption of one dish of ice cream per day. My LDL (bad cholesterol) dropped from 132 which was borderline high to 105. My good cholesterol (HDL) went up from 52 to 64.

17,071 | My "girls" love these Hygiene Chews and they are quite picky. Prior to buying on-line I'm quite familiar with the price from local stores. I love the convenience of buying on-line, but only if the price is same or better. I love the product and the seller has been great. Ships fast, great customer service (as one item arrived damaged by carrier) and they promptly sent out a replacement. I highly recommend the SELLER! |
17,072 | I can't say if it worked for me actually it didn't, the taste was soooo nasty and sooo unbearable that I couldn't keep going with it long enough. Thing is I love tea and thought every tea was good with honey. But not this one, i'd like to vomit in my mouth! When I purchased this it came in the 3 packs, good price 4 it to, so now I'm stuck with full boxes of this stuff, tried to pass it on but I guess I'm the only tea drinker in my family. So to the trash it goes! |
17,073 | This salad dressing is great! I find this dressing has enough salt in its' contents that I do not ned to add any more to the actual salad. Plus, when eating this, it reminds me of my childhood when our family would all enjoy the flavor it provides. |
17,074 | I was looking for Aji Colorado which is used in Bolivian cooking. Angelina's advised that this was the closest according to her spice specialists. It appears to be very, very close to the flavor and scent of the Bolivian spice. After spending a fortune to get a few small envelopes of Aji from Boliva, I am thrilled to find something very similar for a great price. |
17,075 | Rendang Curry by Prima Taste is a Dry Beef Curry sauce kit. The box says Best Singapore Favorites. Lately I've been trying out a couple of exotic food kits, this one piqued my interest. Although 28 oz of beef tenderloins were required, I'm not a beef person and decided to try using tofu instead. I invited two other people to join me for this experience. All of us like rich, spicy food and all the better if it is restaurant quality at home.
To start, I took two packages of extra firm tofu (packaged in water) and sliced each into eight or nine slabs like a loaf of bread. I laid these between clean dishtowels to drain off excess moisture which aids in absorbing the flavors of the sauce.
Choosing toasted sesame oil, I coated the bottom of an iron skillet until the oil was fragrant. I cut each slab of tofu in to eight chunks and laid them in the pan, letting them brown slightly. Then took those out and set aside until all of the tofu was browned.
Meanwhile, basmati rice (not part of the kit) simmered in another pan. The box says it also goes well with mashed potatoes, something I'd like to try next time.
One of two enormous packets contained a slightly oily red paste that upon first inspection looks like tomatoes, but turns out to be an exotic blend of Galangal, Palm Sugar, Pandan Leaf, Candlenut, Ginger Salt and Lemon grass to name a few. The minute it hit the hot skillet a pleasing, fragrant aroma wafted through the house. Each of the guests commented about it.
The second packet held a dry, powdered mix of coconut milk and solids. I hadn't seen coconut processed this way before, but after adding the required amount of water, the sauce began to look much more like a curry. After following the cooking instructions on the box, I added the tofu to the sauce. When it was heated through, I served it over rice. Each of us had a small plate, and there was enough left over for each of us to have 2 more meals.
It made an abundance of sauce as well. We were all satisfied with the flavor and talked about having seconds, but were full.
I found it a bit on the sweet side, as mentioned above palm sugar contributed to this. I'm not a fan of sweet curries. Although the taste was sensational, the spicy kick was surprising but not overwhelming. For a bit of variation, the addition of baby green beans, julienned carrots, or sautéed onions would be welcome.
All in all, we found Rendang Curry very tasty, and everyone enjoyed it. I'll be looking for this on store shelves. |
17,076 | Item arrived timely and contained the advertised product. Doesn't expire for another year. It's nice having a good, consistent cup of coffee handy. |
17,077 | There's not a lot I can say about the tartar fighting amazingness of Hartz's new tartar fighting Crunch 'n Clean dog biscuits. However, I can tell you that they MUST be delicious. Lily and Lola are Boxadors and large ones at that so the biscuits lasted mere seconds during the shark-frenzy-like consumption period.
They did not bark at the UPS man when he delivered the biscuits which meant they were not a box of crumbs from a launch-delivery as he ran scenario. Lola, the finickier of the two (though both will eat fresh deer droppings, go figure ) didn't hesitate to snarf them down. And when I hovered the biscuits over their heads the Pavlovian drool strings appeared as if I was offering something truly dog-delightful (I suppose like a plate of wildlife droppings). Both Lily and Lola licked up every crumb of Crunch'n Clean after the biscuits broke up while being chewed.
I do like the idea that the substance, DentaShield, coats the teeth to block new tartar formation. And I like that I can feed the girls treats that serve a purpose besides just tasting doggie-delish. |
17,078 | I picked up Yogi Bedtime Tea because a) I'm a tea lover and b) I was searching for teas that might make me sleepy. So far, Yogi's Bedtime is the only one that does the job. One mug makes me pretty drowsy and ready to go to sleep. Two mugs make me very loopy and three mugs just put me under. I sleep through the night and wake up feeling slightly groggy; however, the feeling passes quickly and I'm ready to start my morning. If you're having a hard time getting to sleep, or if you know you need to sleep but just aren't ready to settle down yet, this can help.
I notice the information for this tea advises you to drink it during the day to calm and relax yourself. I can't imagine doing that. I would pass right out. (Definitely don't drink this before driving anywhere!)
The tea is sweetened with Stevia which does leave a taste in the back of your mouth. It is not altogether unpleasant but might irritate some.
Also, as another reviewer mentioned, some of the ingredients in this tea can interact with certain medications such as hormonal birth control, so be advised and ask your doctor first. |
17,079 | My favorite so far. Bold but smooth with no bitter after taste. Highly recommend if you like a bold coffee. |
17,080 | This all in one pack of popcorn is great! Cut the end and dump it into your popcorn maker. I use the stove top maker to make mine. Though you really need a HUGE container (6 quart) to make it properly. While the popcorn is still popping I have to empty out the contents into a bowl because it makes a ton. The popcorn is very salty. I usually hold back a little of the salt to get the perfect taste. I really like this popcorn. Just like popcorn at the movies. |
17,081 | Do the math and this comes out at over $2.50 a gallon....for a very like powder. Ridiculous price. Before, it was like the cost of a two-liter generic softdrink. Still a ripoff when the item being shipped is 4 ounces a box. But not it's just nuts to buy this. |
17,082 | This espresso is amazing. My wife would not drink coffee until she had this product, now she has Lavazza espresso every day. Crema e gusto tastes wondeful, try it and you'll love it. |
17,083 | I originally tasted this as iced tea in a fine restaurant several years ago. I asked for the brand and flavor and have been ordering it ever since! When I serve it to friends they always want to know just what I had asked!
My son-in-law, who does not drink coffee, visited us and I gave him some as iced tea. He loved it, took some bags home with him and has been drinking it both hot and cold ever since. He now has his father drinking it! |
17,084 | I would agree with the other poor ratings on service for Royal Oak - very poor customer service from Royal Oak. We ordered, this year, the exact same product as last year. When it arrived, the nuts were not the same product, and they would not refund or pay shipping for the return. Also, they only operate the few weeks that peanuts are 'in season.' Otherwise, emails and phone calls are not even acknowledged. |
17,085 | I agree with the previous reviewer on all counts -- this was very disappointing overall! Pricey and lacking in flavor, etc. - will not purchase again, for sure. Now I'm stuck with 5 cartons out of 6 that I probaby won't eat. Not cool.... |
17,086 | what can i say? this stuff is great. if you're like me and can't handle really spicy foods then don't use a full packet of the spice that comes in each bowl. i usually only use half of one then give the rest to whoever wants to add it to theirs. a full bag is pretty spicy but if you tone it down some to taste should you choose to do that then it's really good stuff. a friend of mine introduced me to it a few months back and honestly i can't get enough. i would definitely reccomend this to anybody who likes noodle soups in a cup. the spice makes the flavor of it but like i said, you don't have to use the whole packet that comes with it. |
17,087 | Being a Weight Watchers Lifetime member, Nestle's fat-free hot cocoa is my favorite! But I could only find it at one grocery store near me, and they weren't even consistent about having it. I'm so glad Amazon has it, in bulk, and cheaper than my grocery! |
17,088 | Let me be clear: I wasn't expecting this to taste like a top-shelf margarita from the local bar... but I was truly surprised by just how nasty this stuff is.
Upon opening the packet and pouring the off-white powder into a pitcher, I was immediately greeted by a smell I can only describe as being very similar to dishwasher detergent. The powder went from off-white to neon green as soon as it came in contact with water, which is sort of fascinating. As the water poured into the pitcher, the detergent smell became more pronounced, along with what could best be described as the aroma of lemon-scented furniture polish.
I gave it a thorough stir and put it in the refrigerator to chill.
A few hours later, I poured some into a glass. The smell was just as strange as before. I took one sip, and sure enough, it tasted just like it smelled. I took another sip, hoping my tastebuds would perhaps adjust and that I'd somehow like it... but no dice. I had to dump it out and grab a soda to get the detergent/furniture polish taste out of my mouth.
Long story short, this stuff is foul. |
17,089 | The price on this tea is awesome and it's organic and great tasting to boot. I put this in an airtight container and it lasts for a very long time. I doubt I'll ever go back to tea bags again. |
17,090 | The flavor in this tea is amazing. I have tried it hot and over ice and it is just wonderful both ways. I use a little less sugar than it calls for and it is is perfect. I make up a big batch and drink the first mug warm and put the rest in the fridge to have over ice. Definitely my new addiction! |
17,091 | The product itself is great! I use it for my lobes and to help keep them healthy.
But when I got it in the mail it had melted and was all over the box. It looked like the seal hadn't broken too much when I looked at it. These are in glass jars too, so I checked for cracks, but it was in good shape. It think the heat of it being in a mail truck probably had something to do with it, so I wasn't too worried. I've had no problems after that, and use it everyday.
Overall a good product and I recommend it to anyone! |
17,092 | I just don't understand the love for this tea. I love almost all of Twinnings teas (except for Darjeeling, but that's a separate review). In fact, Twinnings is my favorite brand of hot tea - and I drink hot tea several times a day - so I am guessing I must not like Oolong tea. I had high hopes for this Oolong tea - the description on the box was most inviting.
My first hurdle in trying to drink this tea (after steeping a few minutes in my tea cup) was the smell. Oh, and what a smell it is - like freshly turned earth with a sour note - difficult to describe, but nauseating nonetheless. And if I thought the smell was bad, the taste was even worse (and I didn't think that was possible). Oh, how to describe - like muddy water with sharp grassy notes - at least to me. My husband laughed when he saw me sip this the first time - he said the look on my face was the same expression I had when I would change our son's diaper after he left a particularly large gift to clean up.
So, I think I will just stick with my beloved Irish Breakfast, Earl Grey, Lady Grey, and English afternoon teas by Twinnings. From reading the reviews, it looks like my lack of love for this tea will not be a problem. |
17,093 | This dog food satisfies both of my dogs and they have had no digestion problems or skin issues , as they have had with other brands. They both have maintained healthy weights and glossy coats on this food. I have been very pleased with the automated delivery service. |
17,094 | I felt comfortable feeding my dog this product but the high protein caused him to urinate too much. Since he is not a very active dog I switched him to Blue Buffalo and his system is doing a lot better. |
17,095 | My son (1 year old) loves these bars, they're just his size. I like them because I can throw them in the diaper bag if we're going to be gone for a few hours. |
17,096 | These are terribly expensive for the few cookies you receive, and they don't look very nice when you open the tin, but boy, are they good. My whole family loves them, and it's hard to stay away from them. They taste almost homemade. It's best to keep them in the refrigerator or freezer for the freshest taste. If you don't want to go to all the trouble to make them yourself, these are great! |
17,097 | These products are wonderful and the price is great too! I paid $5.99 and free shipping! My dog loves all these flavors. He runs to the fridge when anyone opens it to see if they will give him some. My dog also takes meds for his joints and this is pretty good to hide the pill in so he will eat it! Hope this helps anyone who was undecided! |
17,098 | Pecan pie, pecans alone, any way you slice it, I love them....these crackers have enough pecan in them to give you that flavor fix. They are also wonderful for whatever you want to put on them. Serving sizes are very generous, so you can munch without guilt! |
17,099 | Ok- just a little warning- Nutella to go is DANGEROUSLY DELICIOUS!! Its hard to not get into the habit of eating one every day- so go for it as long as you don't mind tacking on its calorie count to your daily intake!
I find its the best snack for when you are craving chocolate but need something a little more substantial than a candy bar. Nutella to go also takes longer to eat than a normal candy bar- which I find makes you feel more satisfied and not looking for more afterward. Do take heed though- highly addictive because its so delicious! |
