New WEIRD diFferent and Special Edition Foods Out There June 2017

 

There is always something NEW, WEIRD, Different or Special Edition out there in the wonderful world of food! I never know what I’ll come across when I go to store. Here are some Cannoli Chips in two different varieties. A Cannoli Shell traditionally holds sweetened ricotta type of cheese….These Cannoli Chips might be like Cannoli’s without the filling….

It’s kind of odd that Cooking Light Magazine sells food to me. It is even more interesting that Cooking LIGHT sells fried chips…..But they are multi grain I noticed….

Wow! I’ve never seen Irish Potato Crisp. Bag on the left is Shamrock and Sour Cream Flavored and bag on the right is Irish Farmhouse Cheese and Onion.

They are flavoring Macadamia Nuts now. Here is Maui Onion Flavored Macadamia Nuts.

I’ll go out on a limb here and put something food related here.

Ice Pop Molds of Monsters! Forking Cool!

Could go a little nuts for Creme Brûlée and Italian Black Truffle Almonds…..

Jammit Brand Jam in Apple Cinnamon Bourbon and Strawberry Chili Shiraz…..Yes Please! Dammit Jammit that might be good!

Twinkies has invaded the Ice Cream Section with Sponge Cake Crumbles and Cream Flavored Frozen Cones.

Latte Flavored Puddings……maybe these pudding are “X” rated and for adults only???

Welch’s the Jelly People now put Chia Seeds in the Grape and Strawberry Jelly….This I don’t understand…..If I wanted Chia Seeds with my Jelly I would just sprinkle the Chia Seeds on….

I note that I am a Dog Enthusiast but even I think this is Forking Strange.

A kit to decorate Dog Bones for your Dog’s Birthday.

It’s a little strange even if you are lonely and have nothing else to celebrate.

Here is a decorated Happy Birthday Pup – Pie for a Male Dog. This is also a little strange.

Birthday Cake Bites for Dogs…..?

Maybe this one s the most Forked up?

Peanut Butter Pie in different packaging…

Pink for female Dogs and Blue for male dogs.

WTFork?

 I’m only one year old and I know that’s Forked up.”

Here we are back to people food and here is something different I never thought I’d ever come across.

Figgy Pops…….I wonder how these would go over if I gave them out on Halloween?

Spicy Sweet Beef Trail Mix??????

Chocolate Bar with added Olive Oil??????

Pumpkin Flat Bread sounds kind of tasty….

These Vegan Burgers look like they went MOO at one time!

Maybe this is the weirdest of all?……..Seedless Cantaloupes…..I never have seen them before. I didn’t purchase one so I don’t know what it looks like inside. That was the New, Weird, Different and Special Edition Foods for June 2017. Who the FORK knows what I’ll come across next month.

NEW WEIRD DifferRent and Special Edition Foods out There May 2017

New Carrot Cake Creation Yogurt……Don’t know????????????

Chocolate Strawberry Oreo’s

Limited Edition Hostess Cup Cakes Ice Cream….

Buddy is famous for his family bakery called Carlo’s Bakery and his TV Show called Cake Boss where the losing contestants are told, “Off to the box truck baby” Now The Cake Boss commercially sells Dog Treats….I actually went to purchase the dog biscotti or the dog cannoli but all they had left were the biscuits.

NEW! Habanero Lime Topper….Sounds delicious but noticed many chemicals and weird things in the ingredients…… 🙁

Chick Peas are flavored snacks these days. Here are Bombay flavored and Falafel flavored Chick Peas.

Here’s Korean BBQ Chick Peas. I never imagined coming across Korean BBQ Chick Peas.

I think it’s odd to flavor Walnuts with Honey Mustard but these honey mustard walnuts might be tasty in a salad?

The FORKING Weirdest thing I came across was just Forked up.

That’s FORKED UP!

I came across these bags marked bananas……

Well that was the New, Weird, Different and Special Edition for May 2017. Who knows WTFork I’ll see next month.

NEW DiFferent Weird and Special Edition Foods Out There April 2017

 

There is always something new, different, weird and special edition out there. I never know what I’ll come across when I go to the store. Here is Captain Crunch’s Cinnamon Roll Crunch Cereal. The Cinnamon Roll pictured on the box looks hot and delicious but the cereal pictured on the box looks more like Forking kibble for livestock to me and not cinnamon rolls.

Coconut Flour Tortilla Chips….That’s new to me! Sometimes you feel like a nut…I mean coconut…..

Chips made from Jicama….I never could imagine anyone making a chip from Jicama but here they are!

Sriracha Gouda Cheese

Jumbo Caramel Apple Marshmallows

New Lay’s Poppables…They look like Football Shaped….Potato Snacks in Sea Salt or White Cheddar Flavor.

Here is Chicken Bologna in a can……Maybe this is for people who camp that don’t care what they eat?

Chika Fruit. Never heard of that fruit. Looked it up and I get different descriptions. One website states it’s the chewing gum fruit. Another says it a grainy, sweet but with lots of tannins kind of tropical fruit and another website states that the fruit taste similar to a pear…I didn’t try it so I don’t know.

Came across this very large King Oyster Mushroom. I thought it was weird, strange and  different….

Here are Minion Lollipops……..WTFork…….They don’t Forking Look Like Minions to me……They sort of look like that King Oyster Mushroom above…….

That was the New Weird Different and Special Edition for April 2017. I don’t know WTFork I’ll come across next month.

Special Edition – Forking Weirdest Food Recall Ever! Frozen PUTTATOES

 

That’s FORKED UP!

Over the weekend I noticed that we had many recalls on well known popular brands of foods this week. Campbell’s Soup (mislabeled ingredients), Lay’s Potato Chips (possible salmonella), Banquet Brand Frozen foods (Salmonella) A bat in packaged salad and a scorpion in another packaged salad..Rubber in a brand of bread I never heard of…..and the FORKING STRANGEST thing I ever heard was about the recall for McCain Hash Brown Potatoes. (puttatoes) for being harvested with golf balls.

Golfballs don’t look like potatoes. How can this happen?

FORKING GOLFBALLS mixed with Potatoes = PUTTatoes!

Do we par-boil the Puttatoes before grilling?

I heard on the news that a golf course is next to where the potatoes were harvested and the machinery gathers them both.

This past Friday according to www.GolfballDigest.com McCain Foods U.S.A. announced on the U.S.F.D.A.’s website of a voluntary recall of two different brands of hash browns. “Despite our Stringent Supply Standards The Golfball Materials “May Have Been Inadvertently Harvested” with potatoes.

Forking Weird Food News of this Week 4-20-2017 Frankenfood and Oy Caramba

 

This is FORKED UP!

Picture via www.Pinterest

This week in the world of food news two stories caught my attention the most. One is that Del Monte Fresh Produce Co. has genetically engineered the Pink Pineapple and it’s been approved by the FDA. They promise a sweeter, less acidic and just as nutritious pineapple. I can’t help but wonder if the almighty would approve?…….. What would he say?…… “You screwed up my pineapple?”

The other story is that Tony Boloney’s $80.00 Taco Pizza ($10.00 a slice) is a sensation! It’s a pizza that’s loaded up with a variety of tacos and a big pile of dip of sour cream and guacamole.

Picture via www.geekologie.com

Tony Boloney Pizza has only two locations in New Jersey. One is in Hoboken (North New Jersey) the other is in Atlantic City (South New Jersey). They said on the news that people are driving from all over the country and as far as Mexico to try this pizza………..

Bugs in Food that You PAY for and Bean Pie…..Who Knew

 

Part of El Panzon Y Frida Restaurant Menu located in Old Town Scottsdale AZ

When I hear about a new restaurant or a restaurant that is new to me the first thing I do is look at the menu to see if the menu appeals to me. I found out about this new restaurant that recently opened in Old Town Scottsdale AZ called El Panzon Y Frida. I saw Fish Cakes on the menu and thought I haven’t had a Fish Cake in ten years since I left the east coast. I could sure go for a fish cake………. but not the one on El Panzon Y Frida’s Menu……… as it’s Buffalo Worm Crusted……… I do admit I have some food hang ups and don’t partake in eating worms or bugs. I am aware that in many countries it’s a part of normal life to include insects in one’s diet but I have to be honest and admit it’s not something I’ll ever relish.

Usually if you find a bug or a worm in your food the restaurant takes it the Fork off your bill and apologies. On this menu you pay for worms in your food…who knew?

www.elpanzonyfrida.com

I also looked at a Fish and Chip Restaurant called Mandy’s Fish in Chips with three locations in Phoenix AZ. I saw……

Mandy’s Fish and Chip Restaurant in Phoenix AZ

Bean Pie….. I never heard of Bean Pie. WTFork is Bean Pie?

I read on Wikipedia that Bean Pie was created in the 1930s and is of African American Muslim Cuisine. The Pie is made of mashed beans that are usually navy beans but can also be great northern or pinto beans in a custard based pie similar to pumpkin pie.

New DiFferent Weird and Special Edition Foods out there March 2017

There is always something new, weird different or special edition out there in the food world. I never know what I’ll come across when I go to a store. This month I came across many new crackers and many new boxed cereals. Here are pomegranate gummy bears..Who …knew pomegranate flavored gummy bears are out there!

Jackfruit in BBQ, Teriyeki and Tex-Mex flavors. That’s different! I haven’t come across Jackfruit outside of the Asian Market.

New Italian 4 Cheese Cheez-It Sandwich Crackers…Sound Tasty…don’t know if they are…

 

New Cheez It Duoz…..Bacon and Cheddar and Jalapeño and Cheddar Jack…..again sound tasty but I don’t know if they are….. I see the Pringle Mascot on the box with Cheez It……..?????? Didn’t know Pringles and Cheez It Brands might be related…?

Another “New” Forking Cheez It. This one is for when you don’t really forking want Cheez It Crackers and you need to mix in Pretzels, Pop Corn and M&M’s to thin out all them Cheesy Crackers.

New Town House Spinach, Artichoke and Feta Crackers….Sounds like the dip is included…

Strawberry Tiny Toast Cereal…looks cute. I wouldn’t use butter here.

NEW Jif Peanut Butter and strawberry Jelly Cereal……?

very berry Cheerios……..?

Star Crunch…..a leftover from this past Christmas Season…..I didn’t spot any brand name on this box……seems really forking odd to me……

Limited Edition Cap’N Crunch’s Blueberry Pancake Crunch Cereal…Sounds fun….

Girl Scouts Thin Mint….Cereal?…..Like the cookies?…How the fork can they do that?

On the top of the box it reads cereal…….Lower on the box in the blue section it says “REAL” mini chocolate chip cookies……Can’t be both!…WTFork!

NEW Hershey’s Caramel Cookie Layer Crunch…….? Don’t know about these….?

Some sort of Hot Buttered Rum Chocolate Bar…Ummmm..I was tempted………….

Here’s some sort of Forking Oreo Candy Bar…it says it’s new….I think I’ve came across something like them at the Asian Market a few years ago….????

Here are Oreo Eggs……..WTFork?

I also came across seasonal treats for dogs.

“Forking Seasonal Treats for Dogs…….WTFork?”

Spring Chicken and Rosemary Dog Treats.

Cream Cheese, Carrots and Cinnamon Carrot Cake Treats!

Now back to people food.

Harissa Rubbed Fontina Cheese…yes I picked this one up and it’s Forking Delicious. I’ll have to forking buy it again before it’s gone.

 

Aren’t these radishes Forking Gorgeous! They sure are different!

Limited Edition Peeps Oreo Cookies…….Don’t know about these…?

I think the most different thing I came across was…..

The Vanilla Caramel Brownie Stuffed Marshmallow Peeps Birds. So I think the white marshmallow birds are stuffed with caramel and brownie. Think about it…….Creative kids can sure have a lot of fun with this Easter Basket Treat on Easter.

That was the New, Different, Weird and Special Edition for March 2017. Who knows WTFork I’ll come across next month.

fullsizeoutput_31e4

There is ALWAYS something New, Weird, Different or Special Edition out there in the world of food. I never know what I’ll come across when I go to a store and here is what I recently came across. This month is filled with not all but mostly sweets and many different assorted chips. Here are Hostess Brand Hot Cocoa & Marshmallow Mini Donuts. I don’t know how they are but I can tell you that they don’t feel hot and I don’t see any Forking marshmallows in or on them.

fullsizeoutput_31dc

Chips Ahoy Brand Cookies in Cinnamon Donut and Hot Coca Flavors….WTFORK……The Cinnamon is a cinnamon cookie…not a doughnut…… and the hot cocoa one isn’t hot but at least it looks like it has marshmallows in it.

Hot Cocoa Cotton Candy….interesting!

New Pringles Loud Salsa Fiesta Corn Chips. Ummm why are they called loud? Does that mean spicy?

Conversation Reese’s cups…..?

Red Velvet KitKats…..?

New Cinnamon Frosted Flakes…That gotta be Great!

New Ruffles all Dressed Potato Chips. This is some sort of mystery Canadian Flavor. I don’t know what it is but I read the flavor is something like paprika spice blend, ketchup, vinegar and BBQ sauce.

Southwestern Queso(cheese)  flavored Lay’s Potato Chips

Beer ‘n Brats flavored Lay’s Potato Chips…..? Would you buy these?

Wise Brand Food Truck Inspired Potato Chips in Loaded Chili Cheese Dog and Beef Barbacoa Tacos Flavors….Kinda neat…and they tell the story about the food trucks these chips are inspired from.

Here are Limited edition Cranberry Muffins. They’d be good with cream cheese or as a turkey sandwich.

Unusual flavors of oatmeal. Here are Apple Cheddar Rosemary oatmeal, Vanilla Chai oatmeal and Lemon Ricotta Pancake oatmeal. I don’t know how these flavors will work out.

Spiced Sweet Potato Chips that are spiced with Red Pepper and Cumin…Ummm

I never came across Adirondack Red Potatoes before. These I had to try. They are all Red Potatoes. They are very flavorful and have an earthy potato taste. These potato chips have great potato flavor.

BBQ Black Bean Corn Chips

Sea salt caramel raisins. Not for me…………

Almond Joy Pieces. Milk Chocolate, almond, coconut candy buttons. Sound good I’ll try them sometime in the future.

Milky Way candy bars have been around forever and I never saw Marshmallow Caramel Mini ones before.

And now for something healthy…….

Cone Shaped Cabbage! I’ve never seen or heard of Cone Shaped Cabbage before. This cabbage is new, different and somewhat weird to me.

I found another something new, (to me) different, and possibly weird to some…..Here it is……

Glazed Seaweed Almonds! Did you ever think you’d see that!

That was the New, Weird, Different and Limited Edition Foods I came across for February 2017.

Weird Strange Different and Special Edition Foods out There January 2017

 

fullsizeoutput_30a5

There is always something new, weird, different or special edition out there. I never know what I’ll come across when I go to the store. This month I found a bunch of strangest FORKING STUFF I’ve ever seen. I really did…This month’s edition I WARN YOU is not for the faint of heart….Now that you have been warned…….Here is a Lollipop of President Donald Trump’s Hair. I think we can all agree that this is weird strange and different.

fullsizeoutput_31d1

Mexican Style Tuna….I’m going to leave that one alone.

fullsizeoutput_3093

The Oreo Package reads TripleDouble Oreo. It seems the manufacturer isn’t sure if it’s a Triple or a Double Cookie….To me it looks like a cookie and one half…..I’d forking call it the 1.5 Oreo…….I just wonder what flavor is it suppose to be?

fullsizeoutput_31a2

I thought I was done with Oreo’s for this month but here are Forking Oreo encrusted Almonds.

fullsizeoutput_31b6

Pumpkin Spice Panettone….???

fullsizeoutput_31b7 img_6707

Grasshopper and Bourbon Pecan Pie Chocolate Bars…I’m going to rip into the Bourbon Pecan Pie Bar soon….Hope the Forking calories are worth it.

Valentine’s Day is coming. Here are Valentine Gum Drops called Dots.

Cherry Flavored Chocolate Dipped Marshmallow Peeps.

fullsizeoutput_3096

Here is Colon Blow Cereal Snack Treats……..This is very strange….This is FORKING strange

fullsizeoutput_315b

Here is Chocolate Peppermint Nut Crunch…..Um I don’t think that combination works for me.

fullsizeoutput_3159

Sriracha Lime Pretzel Crisps…..maybe…they’d taste good…I’m not sure.

fullsizeoutput_31dd

Ghost Pepper Mustard, Sriracha Mustard and Creamy Sriracha Horseradish Mustard……No Thanks…..

fullsizeoutput_31a3

Here is Sriracha Chicken Instant Ramen Lunch….guess that makes sense.

fullsizeoutput_3095

Urine for a Treat Candy…..ick! I’d be forking pissed off if someone gave that to me…

fullsizeoutput_3158

White Peppermint Twinkies….No Thanks…I don’t do Sponge Cakes stuffed with Cow Fat and lots of Forking Chemicals even it they flavor it with peppermint! (just a couple weeks back this got recalled…for something)

fullsizeoutput_309e

This one should be “R” rated. Toro Balls and Camel Balls….. chewing gum with a liquid center….

But the Forking Weirdest one of all is……

These are....FORKED UP!

These are….FORKED UP!

Flinging Poo and Dingle Bearies Candies! Who knew such things could exist?

That was January’s Edition of Weird Strange Different and Special Editions Foods out there.

New Forking Weird DifFerent and Special Edition Foods Out There December 2016

 

fullsizeoutput_2e7a

There is ALWAYS something new, forking weird, different or special edition at the markets and I never know what I will come across. Here are Jimmy Dean Stuffed Hash Browns in sausage and cheese variety and also Bacon and Cheese. Nothing is plain anymore. I’m surprised these stuffed Hash Browns don’t come in Egg and Cheese variety or even forking Sriracha Flavored.

img_5667

A difFerent kind of candy called Crunchkins….They are made by Topps (the Bazooka Bubble Gum Co.) The candies are sort of like malt balls and the box contains three flavors that are very True tasting. The white sphere taste just like stale birthday cake. The tan spree taste just like a stale glazed donut down to that yummy little nutmeg taste and the brown sphere taste just like a stale Fudge Brownie. In all the flavors you get a very realistic frosting with frosting texture but all the spheres inside are crisp and even though the flavor is dead on I still get this stale cake texture. I do note you can’t eat too many because the realistic sweet frosting on them creeps up on you but if you only eat a few at a time they really are surprisingly good.

img_5690

Turkey Spam….Spam is usually a canned ham but a Turkey version of Spam is available now. Spam makes me think of Hawaii and Monty Python…

img_5812

Sweet and Salty S’Mores Pretzels……???????

fullsizeoutput_2ee7

New Pineapple Habanero Potato Chips cooked in Coconut Oil sound appealing to me but I resisted….. 🙁 ………Maybe next time….

fullsizeoutput_2ee8

Blueberry Pancake frozen custard sounded too delicious to resist. Sadly the custard has watery lumpy texture and lacks a custard mouth feel but it’s the taste that’s unsatisfying and makes me sorry I tried this one. No hint of pancake…just lumpy fruit that you can’t really identify……not worth the calories….. :(……..Went back to figure out why I don’t like it……..Not custard and more like a creamy sorbet……..The orange juice cancels out any blueberry flavor it might have and also nothing pancake in it…..Blah!…

fullsizeoutput_2f12

S”mores Chips Ahoy Cookies…It seems that S’more’s is like the Key Lime of last year

fullsizeoutput_3002

Planters limited edition S’MORES mix……..?

fullsizeoutput_2f13

Blue Raspberry Mallow Bursts?…WTFork is a Mallow Burst?…I thought they looked like marshmallows?   Do they leek in your mouth? I don’t know…

fullsizeoutput_2f14

Pumpkin Spiced Vanila Cream Cookies….Might be tasty?

fullsizeoutput_2f4b

Organic Red Lentil Pasta isn’t so weird or unusual these days but the $8.99 price tag is very shocking to me.

fullsizeoutput_2f72

Pumpkin and Spice Triscuit….?  I don’t think cheese would go well on these crackers…

fullsizeoutput_2f73

Maple Bacon Pop-Tarts….? Is this a breakfast replacement?

fullsizeoutput_3003

Pineapple Coconut & Lychee Raspberry  Milk Chocolates…made in France….ooh la LA!

fullsizeoutput_3001

Popped Edamame Chips…I’m buying these…

fullsizeoutput_3058

I thought Harissa Salsa is pretty odd….Both are red, contain garlic and spicy pepper but the base of salsa is tomatoes and the base of Harissa is roasted red peppers with different seasonings…….So this jar might be salsa flavored like Harissa.

fullsizeoutput_2ffe

Chicken of the Sea Tilapia in a Pouch in flavors of Teriyaki Sesame, Santa Fee, Marinara and Yellow Curry. I felt the package and it felt like a hard very small piece of fish…..I will not be trying this…

fullsizeoutput_2fff

I think the oddest thing I came across was abnormal looking Kiwi Fruit. A Kiwi is usually a small fruit covered with fuzz. It doesn’t have a lot of flavor and is usually paired with another fruit like bananas or strawberries. The kiwi fruit is usually sort or oval in shape and the size of a Persian Lime. I’m not crazy about kiwi fruit so I didn’t purchase the fruit.

fullsizeoutput_3000

These kiwi fruit are very large. Each one weighs 1/2 a pound….Look at the weird shape. Is it a variety that’s different or are they a weird mutation? ……..Maybe a result of radioactivity in the environment?

Well that is The New Weird Different and Special Edition Foods for December 2016. Who knows WTFork I’ll see next month!
