PRINGLES – Everything Bagel VS Hot Honey

I found several interesting flavors of Pringles Potato Chips at my local Walmart Grocery so I decided to try the Everything Bagel and The Hot Honey Pringles Potato Chips. I was more excited about the everything bagel because that flavor I never saw in a potato chip before……..I give it a try.

I sniff it and it smells weird……..

It doesn’t taste anything like an everything bagel……..How on EARTH did anyone anywhere approve this flavor?………..it actually it taste sort of like margarine. ICK! Disappointed because I wanted this to taste like an everything bagel….Oh Well…..(no onion, no sesame, no garlic, no poppy seeds….just a very weird sort of margarine taste…….:(

I taste the Hot Honey.

It has a much better potato flavor than most Pringles Chips and also is spicy hot…(but not crazy hot) and has a natural sweetness that taste like honey. The Hot Honey Pringles are very good!

The Hot Honey Pringles is the Winner by a LONG Shot!

Maybe the FORKING WEIRDEST FOOD FIND EVER?

At my local Sprouts Grocery Store I came across these Kimchi Dill Pickle Cranberries. I thought I was seeing things. Why would anyone want Kimchi Dill Pickle Cranberries?

You may not agree but I think someone was on drugs to think this one up.

Kimchi Dill Pickle Cranberries just might be the FORKING WEIRDEST Food Find Ever!

KitKat Chocolate Frosted Doughnut – Worth a Try!

I came across these Chocolate Frosted Doughnut KitKats at my local Walmart Grocery and decided to give them a try. I wasn’t sure about trying them because I find that I usually only like half the flavors they make. This one I sure had my doubts but I haven’t tried a new flavor in a very long time so I tried anyway.

They are chocolate frosted up top and doughnut colored underneath..

They sort of smell like doughnuts……

My gosh….This actually taste like a chocolate frosted doughnut!

HOW THE FORK did they do that?

I do have to say that the Chocolate Doughnut KitKats are

Worth a Try!

Of course your opinion may indeed differ.

My FORKING THOUGHTS on Hershey’s Strawberry Ice Cream Cone Kisses –

I noticed these Limited Edition Hershey Strawberry Ice Cream Cone Kisses at my local Safeway Supermarket. I hesitated …….should I….or shouldn’t I?……..As a Youngster I used to like Good Humor Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Bars…..So I was hoping that these Hershey’s Strawberry Ice Cream Cone Kisses might taste similar…….????? Well lets see…..

Eeek! They are flesh colored with little red rashes.

I try it and it is gross. WTFork is this? Not sure if I can finish……..

It just taste very artificial ……Doesn’t taste comparable to anything.

As it’s melting I got a crunchy lump. The crunchy lump is ok….It’s sort of cookie like in taste……

But The kiss is still there and terrible. My tongue is burning from it….YUK!

Now I got a weird aftertaste…..It’s something like hops from beer…ICK…GROSS!

On the bright side I won’t be getting fat from them.

I can not recommend them…..Actually I am surprised that they can pass a taste test from Hershey’s…..

Those were my FORKING Thoughts on Limited Edition Hershey’s Strawberry Ice Cream Cone Kisses but I also must note that YOUR FORKING opinion may indeed differ.

HORRIBLE FRIGHTFUL Food served to me in Metro Phoenix AZ -Annual Special Halloween Edition

So far 2022 has been a better year than most for Metro Phoenix Foods…..Not too many HORRIBLE FRIGHTFUL dishes….But there were a few. I very recently wrote about the next two dishes so if you read my blog then you know where these dishes came from. It’s not my intention to make trouble for any business………(even if they deserve it)…. I tell The Forking Truth….so I mention how my meal was once with the name of the business and once is enough……But these stories and most of the photos are Horrible and Frightful. Halloween time is just that perfect time to share these memories.

Overcooked macaroni and dried up cheese that never was good.

Burnt dried out fish with almost brunt oil filled eggplant.

After this are oldies but NOT goodies.

This was from a fine restaurant in the Biltmore area that is still in business. I do note that the chef that they had at the time left several years ago….By the looks of the polenta on the plate it seems like he might have been pissed off about something.

A certain restaurant on the west side served me a dessert with a hard glob of silicon in it that I had to spit out.

This next one might be the worst thing I ever got from a food truck. It made me scream and I had to spit it out.

It was suppose to be a corned beef egg roll from a food truck that specialized in corned beef. It was dry and awful inside but I still remember that the worst part was the egg roll because it tasted rancid.

Someone in metro Phoenix served me this sandwich.

They are still in business….

Sometimes you go to a restaurant that was very good for several visits………. Then when you eat the food you find out that the chef is no longer with them.

This restaurant closed shorty after I got this horrid dish. It was fishy salmon topped with raw tomato paste flanked by a splat of pureed corn and another splat of corn grits.

I went to a BBQ Restaurant in Phoenix that is still in Business. They served me grits that weren’t cooked.

They also served us meat that was under and still had hard fat on it.

I remember we said something about this but nobody said or did a thing.

A restaurant that is still in business in Peoria served my husband this sandwich.

At the time that restaurant recently changed ownership….It was not great but ok before this……………

It looks like a cinnamon bun but it’s not……….My husband was served a burnt roll somewhere.

This is the worst bulgogi I ever tried……It’s like they threw it in a blender and added cream cheese. It’s like throw up on a skillet.

This Thai Restaurant in Peoria thinks that it’s ok to call a dish fish and serve it without the meat.

I never went back.

This was from a Taco Restaurant that went out of business.

Dry flavorless chicken that might have been microwaved to hard and chewy with some pickled onions and a tortilla that fell apart before it arrived.

This place is still in business in Sun City.

The fish is fishy. The vegetables are obviously from frozen and boiled……I don’t know what happened to the mashed potato. I asked the server why it was green….She didn’t know and asked the chef. She said that he said, “Black pepper turns the potatoes green.”

Maybe my worst Metro Phoenix Restaurant foods came from an Asian Restaurant that I enjoyed on my first visit. I enjoyed the live seafood that was reasonably priced…..So I came back for a second visit….(unfortunately).

We started with some shiitake mushrooms with Asian Greens. They look good BUT….

Shiitake with Asian Greens

The sauce is HORRIFYING……Maybe it is suppose to be that way but I can’t stomach a sauce with the consistency of snot……I couldn’t eat this…..Sadly our main dish was worst.

On this visit I didn’t notice the live fish tanks???????? But ordered the rockfish anyway..This was like a fake fish that was impossible to eat….Like solid rubber and tough. I was going to say something to the owner….But my husband said that all was ok so the owner left.

The server didn’t even question on why we didn’t eat the fish and didn’t even ask if we wanted to bring it or the vegetables home……

Then the scary part is that we got a bill for over a hundred dollars for those two plates (We found out they charged $89. for that fish).

These were only a few of the HORRIBLE FRIGHTFUL Foods that was served to me in Metro Phoenix AZ.

Be careful out there and have a Happy Halloween!

My FORKING Thoughts on Hammond’s White Chocolate Lemon Meringue Bar

I spotted this White Chocolate Lemon Meringue Bar at my local AJ’s Fine Foods and I had to try it.

I open it up carefully. I attempted to break off one brick….That didn’t work.

These bars have lots of filling and the white chocolate is very delicate and almost soft.

I taste the broken ends. The lemony part is really great and sure does taste like really good lemon meringue filling…Like the right tart and the right sweet……the right amount of lemon……….The white chocolate is pretty good for white chocolate but it does end with a sweet finish like it should like some meringue. (I hate when meringue taste like egg whites…ick)

I think that this flavor is pretty good but they’ve forgotten that lemon meringue is a pie and should have some crumbs for crust. A few slightly salted cookie crumbs on the bottom would have balanced it all really well………But it is still pretty good anyway.

Those were my FORKING Thoughts on Hammond’s Lemon Meringue White Chocolate Bar. Your FORKING Thoughts may indeed differ.

WTFORK is a PINEBERRY?

I came across pineberries at my local Sprouts Store.

I never tried them before so I bought the one and only box of them they had.

It turns out that the pineberries is a cross of red European strawberries and white Spanish strawberries. They were named pineberries because they are suppose to taste like pineapple. Some taste like mild pineapple. Some taste like pineapple mixed with a little strawberry.If you like pineapple and strawberry you might like them.

Universal Yums – Germany March 2021

Universal Yums is a gift or subscription service for a box of international snacks.

You have three choices of size boxes.

Besides snacks your box comes with a booklet that includes some facts, trivia and a recipe.

I don’t know why but my box is marked reject.

That’s just dandy. WHATEVER

Lets try our first snack.

It’s puffed rice with a thin coat of waxy chocolate. It’s much lighter in texture than the Asian puffed rice bars. I think it might have ground rice powder in it with the texture of almost angel cake holding it together. I like the center of this bar with the ultra light texture. It ALMOST seems like the rice is suspended in angel cake but it isn’t…just taste that way.

Next

They smell tangy……They taste better than they smell…..Sort of like a ketchup taste…..Not awful (“PHEW”) but not something that I would buy.

Next we try the onion rings.

They smell just like onion powder. They have the same texture as softer lighter cheese curls but don’t taste like cheese curls. They taste onion flavored. Light oniony rings…they are ok.

Now we will go for something sweet.

Here are cinnamon almond cream wafers.

They are cinnamon-ee…kinda almond-ee………They remind me of other wafer snacks from all over the world. I think every country out there makes some sort of wafer snack.

Here is premium white chocolate with strawberry rhubarb crumble. I think this is pretty good. It taste like lots of strawberry in a cream……maybe the sour finish is the rhubarb? I think that this was the best of the box.

I saved this for last because I’m not a big fan of marzipan.

Well it’s a stick of marzipan. It’s covered in dark chocolate that isn’t too bad.

That was Germany Universal Yums for March 2021.
