Foreign Chocolate Covered Corn Puff Battle – Gusto VS Bamba

Leave a reply

I like to try foreign snacks once in a while for a taste of something different. Usually it’s weird flavors of potato chips but these chocolate coated corn puffs caught my eye so I decided to give them a try.

In this corner is something called Gusto from Romania.

It was only around $1. at the Asiana Market in Glendale. I can’t read the package and I thought the picture on the package looked like chocolate covered peanut puffs. I should have worn reading glasses because I didn’t even notice the raspberries on the package. ………..These things are Corn Puffs coated in milk chocolate with raspberry flavor. I ate one…These are hard for me to stomach. They are sickeningly sweet and just awful ……..I think that cheap chocolate kind of taste mixed with artificial raspberry is stomach turning…The corn puff has very little or almost no flavor…Its the coating that is unappealing and just packed with YUK.. These are going to hit the trash can after I make my husband try one. Maybe their other flavors are better?????? I read that they make a BOOZY RUM corn snack…..Maybe they make that flavor better????? But this one sucks so bad I doubt I’ll ever feel like trying it.

In the other corner are Bamba Dark Chocolate Dipped Peanut Corn Puff Snacks are marked, “Sold By Trader Joe’s.” Bamba peanut without chocolate are a well known famous snack food from Israel that are sold at nearly every supermarket in little bags. The Bamba dark chocolate dipped peanut flavored corn puffs do cost more than the Gusto chocolate coated corn puffs. They are in a bigger bag but If I recall correctly they were around $2.99 a bag.

I have to admit that I do occasionally enjoy the regular peanut Bamba puffed corn snacks. I read on Amazon that they are made 50% from peanuts….so they are at least 50% healthy….

OMG these Chocolate dipped Bambas are really good……They seem so light and tasty…..they are almost impossible to stop eating. They are not too sweet and not heavy or greasy…..with that indulgent chocolate on that light as air peanut cloud.

DAM You Trader Joe’s! I’m going to have to buy a bag every time I shop in your store until you stop selling them…..Just like you always discontinue my favs……Then I’ll be mad at you again!

Anyways-

……The combination of peanut puff and dark chocolate is very tasty………savory…….They seem light as air…(But I know they are not)……They are very hard to stop eating.

Gusto lost this battle WAY too easily…….I was hoping for a close battle.

Those were my FORKING Thoughts on Foreign Chocolate Covered Corn Puff Battle.

Your opinion may or may not differ.

NEW WEird difFERENt Limited and Special Edition Foods Out There September 2022

Leave a reply

There is AWAYS something new, weird, limited, and special edition out there in the wonderful world of food. We never know WTFork we’ll come across when we shop for food.

Up above is –

LIMITED EDITION and DIFFERENT (see Limited Edition in the upper right corner) – Frieda’s Angelcots…..I know fruit and vegetables are seasonal but it is always weird to see them marked limited edition. These are a different variety of apricots. Might be heavenly…or maybe they are devilishly wrong?

WEIRD – Unicorn Confetti – cake batter cookies………..I prefer my cookies to taste like cookies…..I make cake batter when I make cakes……Cookie batter and cake batter are not interchangeable………So the cookies are WEIRD……Also why are sprinkles (Jimmies and also known as twinkle coat) called unicorn confetti now……?……Is that a nice way of calling those things unicorn poop?

DIFFERENT and also WEIRD – Cap’n Crunch’s OOPS! 3X All MEGA Bigger Berries…….Maybe?…. someone screwed up at the factory and created something that they have to sell as a snack.

DIFFERENT & kinda WEIRD – General Mills Cocoa Puffs instant artificially flavored and with other natural flavors (?????) Oatmeal with crunchy topping. Gosh this one is weird in too many ways. Artificial and other natural flavors (what on earth can they be?????) Oatmeal isn’t puffs……I bet the topping is just crumbs of Cocoa Puffs cereal that usually is thrown out……

WEIRD – Nickelodeon Slime Kellogg’s Green Apple Jacks with red scary looking apples on the box????? Made with natural…….and OTHER (OTHER NATURAL?????…what could that be????? Lizard snot??) natural flavors that make your milk turn GREEN! No wonder why there are so many whack jobs in the world. This stuff is the food (and chemicals) that turns people into crazy lunatics.

EVEN WEIRDER – Kellogg’s AppleJacks with Spooky Marshmallows. That box is horrifying. How can anyone buy that for children. Just looking at it gives me the creeps.

LIMITED EDITION – General Mills Lucky Charms with Magic Gems…….OH Lordy it’s just another cunning way to sell the same cereal with more marshmallows…….

Same Old Stuff MOSTLY- but WEIRD – Kellogg’s Special K Original with toasted grains and an old goat on the package…….BAHHHHHHHH Bahhhh

Same Old Stuff but also kind of WEIRD – Kellogg’s Special K with Red Berries that are really strawberries……and another old goat on the package. This just seems weird and creepy.

WEIRD – Kellogg’s Special K Flakes & Almonds that are chocolate dipped that are flavored naturally and other natural? flavors added…………This is weird because cereal is suppose to be a healthy food. The chocolate coating turns it into dessert….(might be good? in ice cream). This is also WEIRD because it not only has natural flavors but also has added OTHER natural flavors….My gosh what can those OTHER natural flavors be? Cockroaches? spider spit? canned armadillo farts?

WEIRD – General Mills – LOL Surprise Cereal….WTFork is this?….Surprise it’s cereal? Looks like it has those mandatory marshmallows like many of the child’s theme cereals have. No wonder why so many kids grow up to be assassins these days.

NEW – Pop Farts – Oh no my bad I guess I need bifocals…..POP-Tarts ARTIFICIALLY Flavored Peach Cobbler and on side of box it reads proudly baked in the USA. How could that be? They should lie and blame it on someone else. I guess this is a box of Pop-Farts.

DIFFERENT – DJ * BBQ Br Bohemian RUBSODY all-purpose seasoning. Cute name for a spice blend but weird scary looking label. The guy is screaming or looks like he is in pain…..????? Or maybe he just tasted the stuff and it must suck a lot?

NEW – Heinz Black Truffle infused honey and Hot Chili infused honey…….Sounds SWEET to me!

NEW – Heinz mandarin orange miso crunch, chili pepper crunch. and roasted garlic crunch……..Chile Crunch is this amazing condiment that adds flavors, textures and heat to foods. It makes anything plain interesting, (potentially) delicious and spicy. I make my own…..not to brag but any of the chili crisp that I made were all better than any jarred one that I have purchased so far…………. but I am intrigued by the mandarin orange miso flavor……That one is interesting…..The Chili pepper crunch should taste like you basic chili crunch…all chili crunch does already have garlic in it so I am guessing that maybe this variety has extra garlic and sounds like the least flavorful. Just my thoughts…I could be wrong.

DIFFERENT – Norita Sweet Sriracha Miso all purpose sauce….Never heard of a sauce like this before……?????

LIMITED TIME ONLY – Pringles Scorchin Hot Ones Los Calientes Verde. These my husband picked up. I can’t judge them because I can’t eat them….I’m sensitive to too much vinegar. For me they have so much vinegar in them that is painful to my mouth. My husband thinks that they are really good so he gets to eat the whole container himself.

Maybe NEW & a little DIFFERENT – Icelandic vanilla & strawberry lingonberry Skyr. I read that Skyr yogurt is creamier than regular yogurt and is less sour. I got a coupon from Safeway to get one free so I did. I tried the strawberry & lingonberry…..I liked the rich creamy texture. I also ;liked the less sour than regular yogurts…..But they might well just offered unflavored because there hardly was any fruit in mine….Mine had just enough fruit to pollute plain yogurt and left me disappointed. I don’t know if I got an off batch or just that flavor is lacking?

Maybe NEW and DIFFERENT – Icelandic Privisions in wild blueberry & bilberry…..I never heard of bilberry,,,,) And the other flavor is peach & cloudberry…..you sure don’t come across cloud berries very often……These sure are DIFFERENT.

Halloween is coming soon (unless the world blows up from all the marshmallows and artificial coloring in cereal these days)

LIMITED EDITION – Junior Mints with black and orange centers…….?? It’s always fun to discolor someone else’s teeth!

DIFFERENT and probably LIMITED EDITION – Chocolove Bites in Pumpkin Spice. Might be good? Don’t know.

DIFFERENT and probably LIMITED EDITION – Favorite Day Naturally and OTHER Natural flavored Candy Apple flavored pretzels…..Ummmm Natural flavors and OTHER natural flavors??????

And there usually is some sort of Oreo.

DIFFERENT – Here’s Nabisco Caramel Coconut ARTIFICIALLY Flavored Cookies with coconut pieces.

Oh LORDY found another Oreo

LIMITED EDITION – Nabisco Brookie-O – Brownie, original, and cookie dough ARTIFICIALLY FLAVORED TRIPLE Layers of creme……..man oh man what a treat?????????

Well that was the NEW, Weird, Different, Limited & Special Edition foods out there for September 2022. Who knows WTFork I’ll come across next time?

There is always something new, weird, different, limited and special edition out there in the wonderful world of food. These days we NEVER know WTFork we’ll come across when we shop for food.

Up above is-

WEIRD (Maybe the WEIRDEST one ever!!!!) -Van Leeuwen Limited Edition Grey Poupon Mustard with Pretzel French Ice Cream……It’s a WHAT THE FORK! WTFork could possibly be next? Pepto Bizmo Ice Cream?…….Anyways…….Van Leeuwen is famous for their high quality small batch rich smooth ice creams. Recently I tried the pizza ice cream and it wasn’t terrible….It was good but the Pizza flavor was hard to identify because it was a stretch to think of cream cheese and spiced tomato jam as pizza. …….Based on tasting only one weird flavor I think they might tone down the weird flavors because their normal flavors that I tried so far were delicious. I have tried something they made with hazelnut and a pistachio flavor and both of those were excellent…..

LIMITED EDITION – Van Leeuwen Espresso Fior Di Latte Chip French Ice Cream….It’s probably delicious if you are into that sort of flavor?…….

LIMITED EDITION – Van Leeuwen Campfire S’Mores French Ice Cream…..Might be good?

LIMITED EDITION – Van Leeuwen Honey Cornbread with Strawberry Jam French Ice Cream….Sounds intriguing but I didn’t crack and buy it…..yet

Limited Edition – Van Leeuwen Summer Peach Crisp French Ice Cream. You don’t come across peach ice cream very often?????

DIFFERENT – Great Value (Walmart Brand) Biscuits & Jam Ice Cream….??????Never bought that brand……..but it is DIFFERENT!

CELEBRATION EDITION – Great Value Pride Ice Cream….I think I read on the side that it is white chocolate ice cream with brownies and cherries………Not what I was expecting but it might be good……

NEW – Pop-Farts……OPPS! My bad I guess I need bifocals…..Pop-Tarts has gone bananas with Banana Creme Pie that is natural and artificially flavored. I guess these will a peel to some.

LIMITED EDITION – KitKat blueberry muffin naturally and artificially flavored…….????? IDK them KitKats run around 50% one way or the other way??????

NEW – Kit Kat Thins in chocolate hazelnut..????? Could go either way……? These I might crack and try at some point?

DIFFERENT – Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Drops……….Somehow I never noticed them before????? How could that be?????…I read that Hershey’s Drips been around since 2010! Well they were at Safeway and were marked clearance $2.99 so I picked them up…..They are pretty good….a lot like real big M&M’s (button sized) without the candy shell and a little waxy but still good for some odd reason……… Too bad I didn’t pick up the other bag they had left……Oh well!

LIMITED EDITION – Driscoll’s Rose Berries Raspberries………They look yellow with a slight bit of blush to me…………….yep it’s a raspberry!

NEW – General Mills Cinnamon Toast Crunch rolls….They look familiar…..I think a similar cereal was made a few decades back? But the little cartoon characters on the box need some work…They look like they need to be flushed.

NEW – Pillsbury mini sweet biscuits in honey butter and chocolate chip……????Never had a sweet biscuit before???

NEW – MORE Pillsbury Mini sweet biscuits in cinnamon sugar and blueberry….???? Isn’t this over-doughing it?

DIFFERENT and maybe NEW – Sir Kensington’s Chile Lime Crema, Everything Sauce, and also Garlic Everything Sauce……..Might be Soy Amazing?

DIFFERENT – Ninja Squirrel Coconut Sriracha Sauce….???????……….Might be hot stuff???? Maybe something to go co-co-NUTS for?

and there usually is some sort of something Oreo.

LIMITED EDITION – Artificially flavored Oreo Neapolitan flavor cream cookies….(ick)…..Three layers of artificially flavored waxy cream on artificially flavored waffle cone cookies. Oh boy! What a treat?

Well that was the new, weird, different, limited and special edition foods out there for August 2022. Who knows WTFork we’ll see next time.

There is always something new, weird, different, limited or special edition out there in the wonderful world of food. We never know WTFork we will come across when we shop for food. Up above is-

DIFFERENT – Kellogg’s Choco Krispis. Maybe they are similar to Choco Krispies?????…… Or maybe they are just a box full of baby elephant poops.

NEW – Kellogg’s Wendy’s Frosty flavor cereal with marshmallows. I don’t know??? Wendy’s Frosty’s aren’t crunchy and also don’t come with marshmallows…WTFork?

WEIRD – General Mills – JoJo Silva strawberry burp…..my bad..I meant bop with natural…and OTHER (sweaty toes, beaver butts, raccoon farts) natural flavors and marshmallows OH MY!

DIFFERENT and maybe WEIRD – General Mills Golden Grahams retro recipe (made with real honey) Sounds like the natural honey was dropped from the cereal years ago. Artificial flavor is more current.

NEW – General Mills Lucky Charms with marshmallow and clusters. Might be a way to sell the rejects from when the machine that makes the cereal was malfunctioning.

LIMITED EDITION – Kellogg’s Strawberry Banana Cheerios in Happy Heart shapes. Sounds good but I don’t know if it is.

WEIRD – Candy Pop Popcorn made with sour patch kids bitz………..That sound incredibly unappetizing to me…..Looks like they dipped Bart Simpson in red in the corner.

DIFFERENT – Ever see a pineberry before?……. They look like schnozberries. Some taste like mild pineapple. Others taste like pineapple mixed with strawberry.

DIFFERENT – Purple Crush tomatoes – Ummmmmm?

DIFFERENT and maybe healthier? – From The Ground Up – Butternut Squash pretzel twist…….??? A while back I bought the cauliflowers pretzels and they were very bitter like rotten broccoli so I was afraid to try these butternut squash pretzels.

DIFFERENT – Who knew that Sprouts sold so many different varieties of dates. There are zahidi, honey, halawi, medjool, khadrawi, and barhi dates at Sprouts.

DIFFERENT – The Better Chips made with cauliflower and whole grains…????

DIFFERENT – Van Leeuwen ice creams in Earl Grey, marionberry cheesecake, cookies & cream, vanilla bean, honey comb, Sicilian pistachio, and black cherry chip.

More Ice Cream….no…I mean non dairy frozen dessert.

DIFFERENT and maybe NEW – Mauna Loa Macadamia milk frozen desserts in strawberry guava, moloka’l sea salt caramel, and mango liliko’l. They sound delicious don’t know?

Usually there is always some sort of Oreo to be found.

WEIRD – Nabisco Oreo cookie pieces…..You know all the busted up pieces from manufacturing that Nabisco thoughtfully saved to sell you so you don’t have to bust up a fresh cookie for your ice cream.

But wait there’s more!

DIFFERENT – Nabisco Oreo Cookies. As far as I know they are the same cookies that some people love but with different packaging.

Well that the the NEW, weird, different, limited, and special edition food out there for June. Who knows WTFork we’ll come across next month.

DIFFERENT – Crunchers Crunchy peanuts in hot chili lime, cheese and ranch.

I didn’t even bother and they went into the trash….Maybe some people will like them?

DIFFERENT – Simple Truth Crunchy Pea Puff salad toppers in chipotle pepper and seasoned herb….They sound tasty but more like snack food to me.

DIFFERENT – Simple Truth Baked BBQ Flavored Pea Puffs……Who Knew?

DIFFERENT – Maddy & Maize Bourbon Barbecue fancy popcorn…..This I was going to try until I saw how tiny the bag was…..The bag is only 3.5 ounces…….If it’s good it will go really fast.

My Forking Thoughts on Kroger Reuben Potato Chips

Leave a reply

I was food shopping at my local Fry’s supermarket and came across these Kroger Reuben Potato Chips…….I thought to myself I gotta try them. I glance real fast at the ingredients to make sure nothing really strange is in them.

They do have some chemicals in them……

Then I happen to notice that the chips are marked kosher and dairy.

I can be now be relieved that they aren’t made with castoreum (beaver butt juice actually from a gland by the butt) because beavers are not a kosher animal to eat. Castoreum is never listed as an ingredient because it is a flavoring. It is listed as natural flavor because that is what it is.

I get the bag home and take a whiff.

It truly DOES SMELL LIKE A REUBAN!

Incase you are not familiar with a reuben it is a sandwich made of corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, Russian dressing on grilled rye bread or Russian pumpernickel.

The chips are slightly speckled, a little powdery, and are extra crisp.

I gobble a few down……

They are very tasty but at first they taste mostly like mild sauerkraut …….it maybe only slightly cheesy and laced slightly with a rye bread taste.

I eat one very slowly and it taste completely different.

When you eat them slowly you get the rye taste dominating the other flavors.

They are very tasty and extra crunchy.

Those were my Forking Thoughts on Kroger Reuben Potato Chips.

(I note that your Forking thoughts may. differ)

My FORKING Thoughts on Deep River Snacks Chinese Mustard Kettle Potato Chips – Worth a Fork!

1 Reply

I found this bag of Deep River Snacks Chinese Mustard Kettle Potato Chips at Marshall’s. I thought this flavor seemed different and fun so I gave them a try. The bag is different.

The top of the bag reads, “Because we give a chip.” What it means is that they donate from their sales to a charity to feed children.

Then I look at the ingredients.

Seems safe to eat.

I open the bag and it smells like mustard.

Spill some chips out.

These are very small chips. They look fingerling sized??? They are extra crisp, very thin and slightly powdered.

I eat a few.

They really taste like Chinese mustard with that slight horseradish flavor.

Now I go to eat one real slow…………can’t………..the flavors are too strong that way….These you just have to eat.

I have to say these Select Edition Chinese Mustard Kettle Potato Chips from Deep River Snacks are Worth a Fork!

Worth A Fork!

If you are a fan of Chinese Mustard and Crispy Potato chips you might want to give this bag of potato chips a try.
