Each month my friends at Foodzie send me and Amy a “blogger care package” to taste and review. My friends Joanne and Fred Wilson also get one – Joanne blogged their reviews earlier this week.
Amy’s in Africa so I just ate everything myself in one sitting. I generally have poor impulse control (sort of like Hiro Protagonist) so I didn’t feel like waiting until Amy got home next week. Here’s how it went down in my house.
I started with My Husband’s Nuts. The packaging is priceless – notice the wink.
I ended up with Onion Garlic nuts (um – yeah – whatever) which were good even though I don’t like and am allergic to onions (nope – I didn’t die). I followed the nuts with the Devil in an Apron Caramels which were awesome for getting rid of the onion taste. I then stared for a little while at Effie’s Homemade Oatcakes, decided I didn’t feel like trying them, and let them sit on my counter for a few days.
Huge mistake. The Oatcakes were the best – just fantastic! I never thought a cracker could taste so good – it’s definitely the sugar + salt thing that rocks it. The right order to eat them in is Nuts, then Caramels, then Oatcakes. So – my votes are:
- Effie’s Homemade Oatcakes wins the taste of the month crown.
- My Husband’s Nuts wins best package and gets a special bonus for introducing sexual innuendo into my day.
- Devil in an Apron Caramels wins the what you do if you just had My Husband’s Nuts and don’t have gum, mouthwash, or toothpaste nearby award.
I can’t wait to see what the Foodzie’s send me in June. Hint – that Mocha Double Chocolate Chunk Mini Bundt Cake for Two from The Great Spirits Baking Company looks awesome. Just sayin’.
