This time of year the world turns a different flavor of mad……It’s getting close to Halloween and we must have Pumpkin, Pumpkin Spice and Special Edition Halloween Food. As crazy as it all sounds the good news is that in 2018 I haven’t come across nearly as many of these sorts of food as in previous years…….In 2015 might have been the biggest year for Bat-sh*T Crazy Pumpkin Spice because I remember I had to do a three part blog on Pumpkin Spice that year. Could it be that civilization is normalizing? By the way what I did find this year I came across much latter in the season than the usual by September. I didn’t even find most of this stuff until late September. Up above are the Halloween Edition pop-tarts in Frosted Chocolate Fudge. Booooooh

The Forking Truth

 

New WEIRD DiFferent Limited and Special Edition Foods out there September 2018

 

There is always something NEW, Different, WEIRD, Limited and Special Edition in the Wonder World of Food! I never know WTFork I’ll come across when I go to a store. Here’s just some of what I came across recently. Above are DIPPING DOTS Cereals in Cookies and Cream Flavor and also Banana Split…….How can that be?……Dipping Dots are freeze dried Ice Cream Dots…….Freeze Dried Ice Cream can NOT be cereal….or can it????

Reese’s dipped Pretzels……Ummm I picked these up and cracked them open. Not satisfying in flavor……not like a Reese…Kinda more like almost waxy and almost Reese Flavored with crunchy salty pretzels……Screwed up on this one……Oh well..

Spicy Tamarind Vodka…wow that’s different. In Mexico its very common to drink Tamarind Margaritas…and in Thailand they make Papaya Salads with Tamarind….. .Did you know that?

Stolichnaya Vodca comes in salted caramel flavor…….Wow that’s not for me!

I thought these Peri Peri and Aji Amarillo Culinary Paste would be GREAT to Cook with but they contained too little of what I wanted in them and too much unnecessary fillers. Moving on….

Fioretto Cauliflower……….interesting…This one looks like loose cauliflower. I bet it would be really great batter dipped with all the texture it has.

Lantana brand hummus comes in many unusual flavors…..The first one is Cauliflower….wow I’ve never seen cauliflower hummus before! They also offer hatch chile, beet and yellow lentil.

Maybe you’d rather eat a bag of $3.99 dried carrot sticks instead of eating a pound of $99 cent fresh carrots?

Hatch Chile is only grown in New Mexico that boarders Arizona. The Hatch Chile pepper is well loved in Arizona because we are so close to New Mexico and the Hatch Chile Pepper is a more delicious pepper with a unique flavor. The Hatch Chile taste best fire roasted and can vary in the heat it packs. Hatch Chile Season usually is around the end of summer or beginning of fall and only runs a few weeks. Up above are all kinds of Hatch Chile Flavored Foods. Starting up on top left are Veggie Straws then to the right are pepitas (pumpkin seeds) followed by pop corn, ranch dressing, beef jerky and potato chips ALL HATCH CHILE Flavored.

Soft Pretzel Popcorn and Jalapeño Poppers Kettle Corn. Both sound tasty to me.

Lion Bars …..? I ran away like a mouse when I saw them…..eek! I don’t know what they are.

Meiji Black and Milk Chocolate Bars and a bunch flavored chocolate bars. S’mores, Bacon Bits, Strawberries and Champagne, Hazelnut Crepe and Peanut Jalapeño….Ummm? …….Not today but sometime I might try some of them….

Matcha Macadamia Cups……Ummmmmmm……Never seen these before I think they are new.

Coffee crisp sounds good if you like coffee…………….don’t know…..?

Gelato Fiasco…?….lol….in a flavor called Sunken Treasure – Brown Butter Gelato with Salty Pretzel Booty and Bourbon Truffles. I fell for this one…….Taste like creamy rubbing alcohol with  Waxy Chocolate coated stale Chewy Globs……..maybe the other flavors are better?

The produce people are trying to come up with new interesting fruits for us to try. On the top left are Cherry Plums…..They are suppose to be a mix of cherry and plum….To me they just taste like plums…….but are smaller than plums and do have a sort of cherry look……Below is some sort of Peach they call Peach Pie…They just taste like peaches…….To the right are Peacharines……..I was really excited to try them because I was thinking Peach and Tangerine…….But that is INCORRECT. The Peacharines are Peach and Nectarine….I tried them anyway……I have to say they have an unusually long shelf life and taste just like Nectarines…….

I never seen these before….ICEE Lollipop with Candy Powder. I wouldn’t try this now but I might have when I was 10 years old. It looks cute!

I don’t think I’ve ever come across Watermelon Flavored Cotton Candy?

Nonni’s has come out with some unusual Biscotti. Starting  on the left are Mango Coconut Almond Thins, White Chocolate Cherry and Key Lime Coconut…..ummm?

 

Pepperidge Farm Naples Citrus Cookies……ummm? Chocolate and Orange can be delicious….but I see a lemon on the package…..I just don’t think lemon and chocolate ever works together…..maybe other people do????

WOW! WTFork knew that Barilla (you know the pasta people…….Barilla Pasta) Make Heart Shaped Chocolate Chip Cookies…?

Bourbon BBQ and Spicy Queso Potato Chips by Kettle…………??????

Somehow they now stuff pretzels with brownies…..who knew?

Beanitos White Bean Salted Caramel Twists…….WHITE BEAN SALTED CARAMEL….Twists….Now that’s a FORKING WEIRD One…..

Red Chile Queso flavored Peanuts….who knew?

Thought I didn’t find a new Oreo Cookie flavor but I found MINT Oreo coated Almonds. Say that again……MINT OREO Coated Almonds…..  (BLECH!…..how could something like this happen?)

Found this Oreo…that is Limited Edition and ARTIFICIALLY Flavored! Apple pie artificially flavored Oreo Cookies with Graham flavored cookies.

Well that was the NEW WeIRD Different Limited and Special Edition Foods out there for September 2018. I don’t know WTFork I’ll come across next month.

The Forking Truth

 

NEW WeiRD DifFerent Limited and Special Edition Foods Out There August 2018

 

There is always something NEW, WEIRD, Different, Limited and Special Edition in the Wonderful World of Food out there! I never know WTFork I’ll come across when I go to a store and this is some of what I came across recently. In the photo above are Junior Caramels. I never heard of or came across Junior Caramels before…..I know and Love Junior Mints…but Junior Caramels? Apparently they have been around and weren’t so good because now they are New and Improved instead of OLD and Lousy.

Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Bourbon Carmel Squares…….Ummmm might be good….especially if they really have Bourbon in them?

Mike and Ike Jelly Bean type of candies in Buttered Popcorn and Sundae Flavors………..?

Here’s High Altitude Hungarian Flour. You need this flour if you live on a mountain and if you want to make some Hungarian Kiffles.

Nilla Wafers in Berry Delight…..?…Why?……….

And now for something COMPLETELY AWFUL….Artifically Flavored Red Velvet Chips Ah Oy……..I mean Chips Ahoy……who am I trying to kid….I do mean Chips that make you say…..Ah OY!

Kettle Cooked Nashville Style Hot Chicken Potato Chips…..You know I had to try these! Not as promising as it sounds……Taste like Spicy BBQ…..Oh well…at least they aren’t bad like most of the flavored chips.

Kettle Brand Fiery Thai cooked in Almond Oil…..These chips are very crispy and do have a lemongrass finish…..But Fiery they are NOT until you get in the last 3rd of the bag…..all the fire settled there.

Here are new Peanut Butter Puffs called Nutter Puffs. I picked these up. I think they are exspensive  for a small bag but I do have to admit these are very good and only have something like only two ingredients in them…. They are kind of like cheese puffs but natural tasting peanut butter. If you like peanut butter I think you will enjoy Nutter Puffs…….Since I found this bag I saw almost the same exact thing at Trader Joes that was only .99 cents for the same size bag……with what seems like the exact same contents!

You can skip the Fast Food Drive Threw and pick up your Taco Bell Tortilla Chips at your local grocer in Mild and Fire Flavors.

Bacon Habanero Pretzel Crisps……..who knew!

Golden Turmeric Cereal. Turns milk yellow. (ick) Yellow milk is like yellow snow and we all know what that is even if we are living in Phoenix. ………Made with Coconut, Turmeric, Cinnamon and Honey……..whatever…….Turmeric is suppose to be healthy.

This might be an old one?…..But it is weird that the Red Vine Licorice Candy is black……Shouldn’t they be called Black Vines?

This is very Arizonian……Gringo Bandito Sauce.

These Sir Kensington Ketchups aren’t new in Jalapeño Heat and Vine Ripened Tomato varieties but they are new to being sold in this area. I’d like to try them but I eat so little ketchup I doubt I ever will.

This product is called Slime Sauce…..? I doubt many people will buy it.

Here’s Wisconsin Morel and Leek Cheese. It sounds amazing but I’d never eat it……..everytime I ever cooked with morels worms come out….doesn’t matter if the morels come from AJ’s or the Scottsdale Farmer’s Market. It seems ALL MOREL MUSHROOMS DO HAVE WORMS. I asked Sara Molten and Emeril about the worms in Morel Mushrooms…..Sara Molten did right back to me and agreed they all had worms but she also said the morels are so tasty it doesn’t matter…..It seems you shouldn’t care about eating worms if you want to enjoy morel mushrooms. I prefer my food to be free of worms so I don’t eat morels.

Wow, Mario Batali kicked off the Chew aTVFood Variety Show that was canceled. I noticed his brand new sandwich restaurant Restaurant closed only after being open a few months at the Venetian in Vegas and just at the end of July his other restaurants that were associated with him have been kicked out of Las Vegas……. Now his pasta sauce has disappeared from store shelves. WOW he really went down in flames……But maybe this bottle of Tomato Sauce is a Collectors Item?

Carrot, Zuchini, Squash and Beet spirals in your Grocer’s Freezer section. You sure pay a good price for frozen when you can have fresh for about one quarter the price.

Brocoli, Squash, Beets and Kohlrabi is riced for you too!

Girl Scout Cookie Flavored Yogurts….(((maybe the leftovers from girl scout cookies get tossed into the yogurt for you to buy?))

Fig Vinegar…??? Never seen that before…????

OK Folks Chi-Chi Taco Sauce isn’t new…actually it’s very old…like decades old…I was surprised to come across Chi-Chi’s Taco Sauce…..Chi-Chi’s Taco Sauce is still made by Hormel….(Hormel is well known for Pork Products)

Bumble Bee Brand Sriracha seasoned Tuna because it’s just too exhausting to squirt a little sriracha yourself in your tuna fish.

Smoked Paprika Rosemary Flavored Mustard….?????

it’s Back! (I never knew it was even here) Pop-tarts in Peanut Butter and Chocolate Peanut Butter…..?

Limited Edition Banana Chocolate Chip Bagels……….Why would I want that? Bananas and chocolate chips taste good in muffins and cakes….I don’t want my bagel to taste like cake or a muffin.

This Bagel is even worst. Maple French Toast. If I want maple French Toast then I don’t want a bagel….Dah….Lox and Cream Cheese isn’t going to taste good on either of these bagels.

This is Cereal Milk. Maybe you are hard on your luck and can’t afford cereal and need to flavor your milk with the cereal you don’t have????

Oh Lordy Lordy another NEW ARTIFICIALLY Flavored Oreo Cookie!

Limited Edition Rocky Road Trip Oreo Cookies!

That was the NEW Different Weird Limited and Special Edition Foods out there for August 2018. I know know WTFork I’ll come across next!

The Forking Truth

The 2018 Fall Cereal Line Up * New * Different * Weird *Limited & Special Edition

 

Every Fall a New Line Up of Cereals Comes Out full of New, Weird, DIFFERENT, Limited and Special Edition. Up top is Limited Edition Peach Cheerios. That one actually sounds really yummy to me…..don’t know if it is……..

Here is New Cinnamon Oat Crunch Cheerios.

New Chocolate Frosted Flakes. I don’t know? I need a commercial with Tony the Tiger saying, They’rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre Great!

Lucky Charms Frosted Flakes….Come on cereal people…isn’t this just plain old Frosted Flakes with Lucky Charm Marshmallows added? It looks like they mixed up parts of two cereals to make a new one.

When I saw this cereal box I Forking Thought it was a generic brand but I am wrong. This cereal is actually made by Kellogs and is called Unicorn cereal. It says on the box that it’s “Naturally Magic Cupcake Flavored”…………? I guess if I was a little girl I might want to try this one especially if it came with a little sparkle plastic unicorn toy inside.

Banana Split Dippin’ Dots Cereal. Ummmm I wonder if Dippin’ Dots (freeze dried Ice Cream Dots) are actually in the cereal?

NEW Peanut Butter and Cocoa Pebbles……Yaba Dabba DOOH! What was the artist of this box thinking when he designed this? It looks like Fred is farting out the cereal into a bowl.

There is a trend of Cookie Flavored Cereals…..When I see Nutter Butter I think of how this cookie copied Gauchos that tasted a little better but somehow Gauchos didn’t survive and Nutter Butters are still here….Well it looks like you can eat a bowl of Nutter Butters for Breakfast if you want too.

New Banana Pudding Nilla Cereal. Who knows……maybe it’s good?

Chips oh boy………Chips an OY…………I mean Chips Ahoy Cereal…….It it my imagination or does that cereal look just like Cookie Crisp?

Oh God …….They even came out with NEW Oreo Cereals………………WhyyyyyyyWhyyyyyWhy…..

New Golden Oreo O’s……..Oh my…..they didn’t even bother to make the cereal even Forking LOOK Like a Forking Oreo.

And there’s another Oreo Cereal!

They say it’s new but I know I saw it before???? It doesn’t even look like Oreo Cookies….It Forking looks like burnt Fruit Loops or burnt Cheerios.

Well these are among the new 2018 Fall line up of Cereals. Who knows WTFork they will come up with next?

The Forking Truth

 

New Weird DifFerent Limited and Special Edition Foods out There June 2018

 

There is always something NEW, WEIRD, DIFFERENT, Special or Limited Edition out there in the Wonderful World of Food. I never know WTFork I’ll come across when I go to a store. Here are just some of what I’ve come across recently. Pictured up top are Fruit Punch Flavored Peeps Marshmallow Chicks. That’s different….I guess it’s a summer time flavor that’s maybe weird too.

I also came across many different cereals.

Spring Colored Rice Krispies

Rice Krispies Treats…..This one is stupid to me. Why don’t you just cut up a Rice Krispie Treat and stick that in your cereal if that’s what you Forking want to eat?

Family Sized Donut Cereal….I guess this is for when your embarrassed to just eat a Forking donut for breakfast…

Super Mario Cereal? Is Super Mario still a thing?

Lucky Charms come in Flakes Now and the regular one now has Magical Unicorn poop……opps I mean marshmallows.

I also came across many yogurts.

At one time kiddies….Yogurt was a health food….back in the really OLD DAYS way back when I was a YOUNG child there were people they called Hippies…..Those people ate plain yogurt and even if they were high or on drugs….as they often were….. the hippies were still able to add their own nuts and berries to yogurt. These days people just too lazy to add their own nuts and berries to yogurt. Today’s morons rather pay more and buy whatever the Fork is on the store shelf.

Here is Yo Crunch with your choice of added M&M’s, Oreo Cookies and Twix Bars.

Here’s Multi Packs of Strawberry Yogurts with added M&M’s and also a Multi Pack of yogurts with Snickers Bars.

Don’t worry folks there’s more!

Chobani Greek Yogurt is responsible for these flavored yogurts.

Butter Crunch Blast, S’More S’Mores, Salted Caramel Crunch, Perfect Peach Cobbler, Cinnamon Fun Bun, Chocolate Haze Craze, Key Lime Crumble, Nutty for Nanna (is that banana or old woman flavored?) and Mint Chocolate Chip.

And now for something completely different.

Spam canned ham comes in many flavors such as Hot & Spicy, Black Pepper, Bacon (because everything is better with bacon so they say and also ham isn’t enough pig in a can), Teriyaki and Jalapeño.

NEW! Heinz REAL Mayonnaise…..and we need it because there isn’t enough bottled mayonnaise in the whole wide world.

I also came across many new salad dressings.

I saw new salad dressings by Oy Vey…OPPS I mean Soy Vey….Garlic & Ginger, Lemongrass Vinaigrette and Toasted Sesame. I have to admit they do sound delicious….don’t know if they are.

Here’s O’DANG Hummus Dressing in Caesar, Ranch and Buffalo Ranch…….(Oy Vey)….I mean Oh  DANG!

Who The Fork knew that Food Network has food in the supermarket? Here are salad dressings in Herb Garlic, Parmesan Caesar, Feta Herb and Dijon Balsamic. They also sound good……don’t know if they are?

Here are Organic (Walmart Brand) Dressings in Ranch, Spicy Ranch, Green Goddess, Pineapple & Coconut water (?ummm) and Agave lemon flavor Cayenne (?ummm).

Sunflower Kernels in Chipotle seasoning and also Ranch flavored…….

Almonds come now coated with Nilla Wafers and also Snickerdoodle Cookies…..Ummmm I think these are silly but might taste good?

Here’s Australia’s Mango and White Chocolate Stix made with Aussie Licorice. I picked these up and they actually taste good! Not too sweet and taste like real mango with a Belgian White Chocolate Center…..But one thing doesn’t seem right……on the back of package it says made in New Zealand.

Made in New Zealand…..

The Forking Truth is the front of package says Made Down Under with a print of a country that looks very similar to Australia……

Australia’s Mango and White Chocolate Stix are made in New Zealand……

That would be like America’s Hershey Bar not being made in Hershey Pennsylvania…..It would like the Hershey Bar being made in Mexico….If America’s Hershey Bar was made in Mexico wouldn’t it be a Mexican Chocolate Bar? So why isn’t Australia’s  Mango Stix made in New Zealand NEW ZEALAND”s Mango Stix?

I never came across Butternut Squash Tortilla Chips before. They’d go yummy with chipotle salsa or cheese.

Pringles the original stacked processed potato chips in a can. Honey mustard, Dill Pickle and Memphis BBQ.

It’s always fun to come across TastyKake Products because they used to be limited to the east coast tri-state area. Here’s Peach Cobbler and Lemon Mini Doughnuts. I also see Pecan Swirls and Lemon Glazed Flavored Pie. These TastyKake Pies don’t look anything like the originals….They didn’t even offer the big sellers…..No Butterscotch Krimpets and also no Peanut butter Tandy Kakes…..Well I usually don’t come across this many TastyKakes so it was cool anyway!

Other manufacturers of junk food make something similar……This is a waste.

Oh my……..something called MAX by Maxwell House. It’s Coffee that’s Mocha (maybe my least favorite flavor.) and S’Mores……(blechh!)

Look what I see……Take a closer look.

It says Natural Flavor…(ok good) …with OTHER Natural Flavor………..(?)………….WTFork is OTHER Natural Flavor? Other can be BAD….Very VERY BAD……and this sounds totally crazy but………Did you know that castoreum is Natural Flavor…..Do you know what castoreum is? Here’s a hint.

Castoreum is a natural flavoring that comes from the beaver’s castor sac and gets mixed with the beaver’s urine. It’s not used often or is in most foods or beverages because not as many beavers are being worn for fur coats anymore…..but castoreum is in some things. It only gets listed on labels as NATURAL Flavor because that is what it is. By law that’s all they have to say. The only way to 100% be certain castoreum isn’t in your food (or drink)  is to look for some sort of kosher symbol because beavers are not considered kosher or you have to look for a vegetarian symbol. I sure don’t know howTFork this castoreum got discovered…..I can only imagine some hillbilly took out a beaver for viddles and discovered that part (the castor sac) and thought “HEE HAW it taste like candy!…what a treat!

We are done with castoreum folks……………. or are we?

Why on earth would have settle for plain tuna that you have to embellish with a little mayo and vegetables when you can purchase Tuna that already has Sriracha or Tapatio hot sauce already added?

Pam natural no stick cooking spray ……..Ummmm I have to look at this one again……It only had a few ingredients in it. All I remember is oil and alcohol…….maybe I forgot something?…..

New Godiva Chocolate Pudding mixes! They look and sound good….Don’t know if there are…?

Oh My….

Is it possible that Oreo has run out of new flavors????????

Not a new flavor just a new size package!

Here are New Party Sized Double Stuff Oreo Cookies.

Wouldn’t you know……..

www.TastingTable.com article by Jake Emen

Holy FORK! Someone actually came out with Beaver’s Butt flavored whiskey made from aged whiskey and the contents of actual Beaver’s Castor Sacs………Castoreum.

I guess some people think the liquid from the beaver’s castor sac taste good and don’t care that the liquid is mixed with beaver urine?

Or maybe they are confused……

Well that was the NEW, WeiRD, Different, Limited and Special Edition Foods out there for June 2018. I don’t know WTFork I’ll come across next month.

The Forking Truth

NEW WeiRd Different Limited and Special Edition Foods out there April 2018

 

There is ALWAYS something New, Weird, Different, Limited or Special Edition out there in the wonderful world of food. When I go out to the stores I never know what I’ll come across. I recently came across these Meatless Balls. They might be good but they sound funny. Meatless Balls, Meatless Balls. Turmeric Infused Meatless Balls….Say that a few times.

Here is Kale Peso Hummus. I like kale. I like pesto……I just don’t know if those flavors go with hummus?????? I think I’d like Kale with Pesto and Chickpeas though………I hope it’s good. Hope Brand Kale Pesto Hummus.

Pumpkin Malt Balls…??????????

Here’s some leftover Old Jalapeño Lime Margarita Brittle………..??????

A chocolate bar embedded with fortune cookies….how interesting….I wonder if the little fortune papers with your fortune are in there too?

Limited Edition Toasted Coconut Popcorn….Ummmmm Sounds tasty…I don’t think I’ve ever come across Toasted Coconut Popcorn before…have you?

Plentils Brand light, airy and crunchy Margherita Pizza Lentil Chips…..? If it taste good I’m game.

Saw lots of New, Different or Limited Edition Cereals.

Limited Edition Banana Nut Cheerios….Way back kiddies like 100 years ago when I was a kid we used to add real bananas to a bowl of Forking Cheerios…..

NEW Frosted Mixed Berry Shredded Wheat. It might taste good but looks very unappetizing. It looks like Calamine Lotion topped Shredded Wheats.

NEW! Peanut Butter and Chocolate added to Shredded Wheat???? ?????? I don’t know about that one…..For me it would have to taste at least as good as a Reeses’s Cup.

Limited Edition Girl Scouts Caramel Crunch…? They don’t Forking look like the Girl Scout Cookie……I’d have to pass….It would have to taste like the cookie…..

NEW – Shredded Wheat S’Mores Bites that are BURSTING with Chocolate Chips…I’ve learned that Candy is ok to eat for breakfast if it comes in the cereal…. But I just don’t know….S’mores just seem evil……They scare me.

“Stay at this lovely table in the burning sun…..we will install an umbrella for you so you can stay here….and eat S’mores you humans.”  (no Cardassian has actually said that as far as I know)

It’s BACK! (I never knew it was here …or Forking gone) Strawberry Milkshake Pop-tarts. They look tasty…..and fun but I know they are made with beef fat and that grosses me out………I don’t know why….I don’t think beef fat should be in my sweets…..can’t they forking use butter or Forking coconut oil?….Who am I kidding….I wouldn’t eat a Pop-tart these days anyway.

NEW – Sea salt caramel raisins …..??????

NEW – Cheez-it Crackers in NATURALLY Flavored Buffalo Wing. I am confused……..It’s naturally flavored but there isn’t any chicken in the crackers…..in fact it’s vegetarian……..? Guess you need celery, carrots and blue cheese dressing for these crackers.

Why would I want Cheez-It Crackers to taste like nachos when I can just eat nachos?

Extra Toasty Cheez-It Crackers….They look burnt….How THE FORK could THESE ever be the #1 requested flavor?????????………..Why The Fork would I want burnt Cheez-It Crackers?…..

Marion’s Kitchen makes Boxed Chinese and Thai Meal Kits…???????? ?????????

Individual Vietnamese Pho in a box….Who Knew?

Found these unusual tomatoes at the Phoenix Farmer’s Market. They are very WIERD strange tomatoes……They are green with a black skin…….They taste strange too….sort of unripe…I’m giving them a few days to see if they change.

The most unusual thing I came across was from the Asiana Market.

Acorn Gelatine. I never heard of this before. It isn’t actually real gelatin…..It’s a gelled acorn and vegetable dish with Asian flavors…..

Spring has sprung and here’s………(hell it’s really summer here)………..Spring Oreo Cookies.

Looks like they didn’t come up with a new flavor here so Oreos are just dyed the artificially flavored cream a color for spring………oh joy!

An another ARTIFICIALLY Flavored FORKING Oreo. This time in Chocolate Hazelnut flavor.

That was the NEW, Weird, Different, Special and Limited Edition Foods for April 2018. I don’t know WTFork I’ll come across next month. We will just have to see.

The Forking Truth

NEW WeiRd Different Special & Limited Edition Foods Out There March 2018

 

There is ALWAYS something NEW, WEIRD, Different, Special or Limited Edition out there in the wonderful world of food. I never know what I’ll come across when I go to a store. Here are just a few of the things I came across lately. In the above photo are Buddha Hand Lemons. They are slightly WEIRD looking. I saw these Buddha Hand Lemons at AJ’s Fine Foods Before. I remember that this kind of lemon has very little flesh and is mostly zest….But HEY! they call it a Buddha’s Hand…I think it looks more like a Forking Octopus.

Blue Foot Mushrooms….You sure don’t see Blue Foot Mushrooms all the time! That’s different!

Limited Edition – leftover from December – Peppermint Cool Whip Topping………(artificial whipped cream-like product)

Probiotic Spicy Kimchi Sriracha. Haven’t come across that one before! It’s new to me.

Speaking of probiotics…Here’s Horseradish Leek Kraut and Smoked Jalapeño Kraut. I found the same brand also makes snack Kraut Chips sold at Sprouts….. I found at Whole Foods the Flavored Kraut….Flavored Kraut!!!!! Speaking of Whole Foods….Lookie Here !

Did you ever see salsa priced at $15.00 a tub? I hope it’s really REALLY Good!

Mr Stanley’s Milk Chocolate Chilli Thins….Ummm these sounded too good to pass on so I picked them up. Can’t wait to crack them open.

Onion Flavored Candy…….?……..Why..?????? Remember those old Whacky Packages from long ago?……This package of onion candy reminds me of them.

WOW-WEE! Nothing is Forking Weirder than Fart Candy! Why would anyone buy that?……WHY? WTFork would you want yourself to fart…..WTFork would you want someone else to fart? I hate when I walk in a store and I smell someone’s fart….Doesn’t everyone?

Fork in the Road Honest Dogs..? WTFork are they saying here? Fork in the Road? Fork in the road…like a dog? ……..Honest Dogs? …………..All dogs are Forking Honest…that’s why they all go to heaven…Well here’s Fork in the Road Honest Dogs. Maybe Honest Dogs would be good with CATshup?

Game of Thrones Wine…….? ………..Notice only one glass……I think you kill off all the other people in the room before you open up this puppy so you get all the wine.

I didn’t know there was Date Sugar…Ummmm I bet you could create the most delicious desserts with it……I would have purchased it but it was something like $13.00 for a 24oz bag…

Sriracha Sunshine Chicpea Puffs?????????????

Plantain Strips with Cayenne Pepper?…Ummmm might be tasty!

Vegan Rob’s Asparagus Chips…Umm I wonder if they have much asparagus in them? They had as many calories as potato chips so I passed on them…but they sound interesting!

You can “ham things up”and “pig out!”  with these Iberian Ham Potato Chips imported from Spain!

Whole Wheat and Seaweed Pasta Shells in Cheese Sauce……I don’t Forking know about this one….I like seaweed but I don’t think it goes with cheese….? ……..I don’t know?……

55% less Carb Potatoes….?….How the Fork did they do that?

Organic Bacon Avocados….?  Bacon Avocados?????? WTFork R these??????? Bacon Avocados??? Are They Smoked? Do they have PIG in them? WTFork are Bacon Avocados?

I think the Forking Weirdest thing I came across in a magazine was Worm Salt.  EEEK! I’d never want that on my drink but I can see some people would.

I latter read that the Bacon Avocado is a hybrid avocado developed by James Bacon to resists a colder temperatures. I also read conflicting information about the bacon avocado’s oil content. The bacon avocado has either more oil or less oil than a regular avocado. After trying one of these Bacon Avocados I think they are of a much higher oil content…..Almost like oil was added.

There’s alway a new Forking Oreo! Here’s Forking Artificially Flavored Hot Cocoa Oreos. We ain’t done yet!

Here’s ARTIFICIALLY Flavored Limited Edition Marshmallow Cream Flavored Peeps Oreos.

That was the NEW WeIRD Different and Special Edition Foods for March 2018. I don’t know WTFork I find next month.

NEW Weird DifFerent Special & Limited Edition Foods out There November 2017

 

There is ALWAYS something new, weird, different and special or limited edition out there in the wonderful world of food. I never know what I’ll come across when I go to a store. This month I came across mostly sweet things. Here is a bag of Sweet Maple Pancake Pop-corn. Did you ever guess you’d see Sweet maple Pancake Pop-corn anywhere….I know I didn’t.

Here’s Birthday Cake Pop-corn. Now this one makes more sense to me and might be a festive treat at a party.

This one is very strange and weird to me. They took almonds and coated them with something that is suppose to taste like strawberry cheesecake. I think someone was on something funny to come up with this combination…….

Sriracha Oil…?

I reckon sour cream can’t be plain anymore either. Here are sour creams in Cilantro Lime, Spicy Jalapeño and Chipotle. I don’t know about you but I prefer my sour cream to taste like sour cream. maybe these flavored sour creams are good for making dressings or an ingredient for to flavor potato salad.

Hershey’s Cherry Cheesecake Chocolate Bar…UUUUUMMMMMM? I tried this one…..WOW it tasted just like cough syrup……

Strawberry KitKat filled wafer bars……..KitKat comes up with new flavors and makes Foreign Flavors in Asia like Green Tea. I think I’ll try this one because I like strawberry.

Apple Crisp Wafer Cookies with real apple…might be tasty?

Krispy Kreme is famous for their sweet doughnuts. Well here is their cake mix….guess if you make doughnuts you can pump out a cake?

The Cheesecake Factory is well known for Cheesecakes. They got the idea to put out cupcake mix now….?

Limited Edition Artificially Flavored Apple Pie Oreos with Graham flavored cookies. Sounds good but the filling is always waxy and the flavor always taste fake. I never liked Forking Oreos.

Limited Edition Waffles & Syrup Oreos….Artificially Flavored Waffles and Syrup….blech! Sounds sweet and gross to me…….

Look at the picture on the package.

Is it my imagination or does the cream filling look like an egg?

Well that was the New, Weird, Different, Limited and Special Edition Foods out there for November 2017.

Who knows WTFork I’ll come across next month?

Look at these things!

Don’t they forking look like female bottoms?

They are Forking Radishes!

Here’s some forking things I read about radishes………..

Did you forking know that radishes are members of the mustard or cabbage family?

It’s said that radishes help with stomach aches and forking hiccups.

On December 23rd in Oaxaca Mexico is “The Night of the RADISH.” Displays of the Nativity are done in forking radishes.

In Beatrix Potter’s Book Peter Rabbit ate a radish.

Some Radishes grow up to THREE FEET Long and Weigh up to a HUNDRED POUNDS!

IMG_0755

I know radishes come in many shapes, colors and sizes but I’ve never seen them looks like forking butts before.

I saw these radishes at the Asian Market. The sign above them young radishes. The forking truth is that they felt squishy and old so I didn’t purchase any.
