Not that particular brand, but grilled olives take the fruit to a whole new level. I’m not big on olives, but really love the flavor. Good for martinis, too.
I tried these olives (love olives) and they’re nice and meaty. Maybe not a repeat for me. I usually buy olives that are not swimming in olive oil, use them for Greek salads.
OK - I think I goofed. It’s the Japanese fried rice we like.
I really like the Chocolatey Coated Peanut Butter Crispy Rice Bites! They are tiny but perfect for a small afternoon snack at work.
I didn’t love the Chili Onion Crunch Hummus…not sure what I was expecting but it didn’t do it for me.
I loved that hummus.
Have you tried the Mee Krob snack? Big YAY from me. I have to hide the bag from myself!
LOL I am currently eating it for lunch. It’s tasty. I like their bulgogi fried rice too. I only don’t like their straight up vegetarian and chicken ones.
I like the grilled olives, really nice flavor. Just got 2 more jars….
YES! Very addicting, that Mee Krob!
Love the Mee Krob snack! Addictive indeed.
Welcome!
I have pills I need to take with food first thing every morning, and the crispy rice bites are perfect for that. I also like that they’re individually packaged, because a) I can take one or two with me for an on-the-go snack, and b) I’m less likely to just keep eating them until they’re gone. ![]()
Had one in my Martini last night, and it was really good. Definitely buying these again (if they’re there–always a big if at TJ’s…).
That’s my favorite of their fried rice options, too. So versatile and delicious.
Yea — 72% bittersweet chocolate chips. I usually chop chocolate bars for chunks to include in baked goods, but sometimes I appreciate the convenience of chips and in local stores, the highest cocoa percentage I can get is Guittard 63%.
Qualified yea (because I haven’t used it yet) — halloumi. Apparently, it’s a seasonal offering, but I’ve never noticed it before, and at $5.99, it’s better priced than at my local market.
So right about “the big if” at TJs! That’s why I got two jars of the grilled olives….
I probably read about it here so apologies if it’s redundant……
YAY!!! Golden Caramel Swirl Ice Cream is really good and I say that as someone who is usually a chocolate only fan. My all-time favored is Ben and Jerry’s Phish Food, which is chocolate/marshmallow cream/dark chocolate chip.
TJ’s now sells the 3-lb. boxes of Diamond Crystal kosher salt; it was on the new-products shelf at my Bay Area store. The $8.99 they’re asking isn’t too different from elsewhere, I don’t think, but I know there are places where people have a harder time finding the brand.
We had it too (Portland Maine). It’s about the same price but saves me having to go to a store I wouldn’t otherwise go to (Shaw’s). I thought it was interesting that this is the one time they have to tell us who their supplier is, because it actually matters!
Nothing on that list appeals to me.
I agree, linguafood. The only thing on that list I’ve tried and liked is the frozen chocolate croissants. But even there, I prefer the almond ones.
