NEW WeIRED difFERENt Limited and Special Edition Foods out there June 2021

There is always something New, Weird, Different, Limited, and Special Edition out there in the wonderful world of food. We just never know WTFork we’ll see these days.

Up above is……

DIFFERENT and maybe NEW to stores – Cheesecake Factory famous brown bread. It looks like squishy bread. I wonder if it’s made with cheese cake cheese?

DIFFERENT and maybe NEW – Egglife southwest style egg white wraps……I’m thinking that these wraps might be thin omelets in a package that they are selling as wraps?

They also come in Italian Flavored. I was going to try a pack but they were a day from expired so I moved on.

DIFFERENT – Egglife Italian egg white wraps… Look at the top of package. It no flour so isn’t this a Forking omelet? I guess nobody would buy thin omelets in a package….But any dumb bunny would buy a wrap.

NEW – Pillsbury soft baked cookies in peanut butter with chocolatey drizzle, chocolate chip, and sugar with drizzled icing. If you enjoy the pillsbury ready to bake cookie dough than hopefully you will like these cookies that are ready to eat.

NEW and possibly WEIRD – Sun-Maid Bites in P.B. & J., Birthday Cake, and S’Mores…This seems very strange to me…Raisins just don’t go into certain things….I doubt anyone really wants them in birthday cake……

DIFFERENT – Food should taste good sweet potato tortilla chips. It says best chip for any dip on the bag. Who knows…maybe it is?

DIFFERENT – WinCo Kettle cooked smoked gouda flavored potato chips with “OTHER” natural flavors. ?????Smoked gouda flavor with OTHER flavors?????? Other can be ANY FORKING THING………Old shoe, road kill, cat vomit, cow farts…….

DIFFERENT and maybe NEW – Lay’s kettle cooked potato chips in flaming hot limon flavor????? I like lemon and I like hot….????????

DIFFERENT possibly WEIRD and maybe NEW – Good Health(?) Monster Shaped Veggie Chips. They look like cartoon teeth to me.???? Whatever

DIFFERENT and WEIRD – WinCo prime rib and horseradish naturally and artificially flavored potato chips. I have a beef about that I noticed that there isn’t any beef in these chips so how can they be prime rib flavored???????

DIFFERENT – WinCo chili lime potato chips….Well at least they are natural flavored like they should be so they are worthy of a try.

NEW – Mt. Olive Pickle Salsa in mild, medium, and hot. For when you always wished that pickles and salsa were mixed together.

NEW – Mt. Olive real dill pickle juicers…..For when you simply want to be pickled…I guess…..

DIFFERENT and maybe NEW – Post DUNKIN cereal in caramel macchiato made with DUNKIN Coffee……..It sounds like a beverage that is not for kids……Don’t know if many adults will buy this????

DIFFERENT and maybe NEW – Post DUNKIN mocha latte cereal made with DUNKIN coffee. Maybe this is an alternate buzz????? I would never eat this…

NEW and possibly LIMITED EDITION – Kellogg’s Together with Pride Cereal……??????????? This can have so many meanings…….

DIFFERENT and maybe NEW – General Mills cinnamon toast chocolate churros cereal. This one sounds tasty but the churro cartoon guys look more like macaronis.

NEW or is it OLD??????…General Mills Golden Grahams but of the Retro Recipe made with real honey….I’d be afraid to eat this. It might be cereal leftover from the 80’s or the 70’s that they dug up and decided to sell as retro.

LIMITED EDITION – General Mills Chocolate/Strawberry Cheerios. This one sounded delicious until I read the box that reads…….with “OTHER” natural flavors….That can be very scary. Other natural flavors could be nasty….

NEW – Duke’s Mayonnaise in Habanero Garlic, Fire Roasted Red Pepper, Cucumber Dill, and Bacon and Tomato………I FORKING Know that these sauces are mayonnaise based but when they add all those flavors to the mayonnaise it isn’t really mayonnaise anymore and is either dip or a dressing…….Isn’t it?

NEW – Sun Maid pure milk chocolate and peanut nutter covered raisins???? Might be good? Sounds better than birthday cake flavored …….any who-

NEW – Jet Puffed Bites – Marshmallows covered in sprinkles as Birthday cake, Chocolate covered and Chocolate mint covered…50/50……Might be good?

NEW Limited Time Only Available at Safeway…..Rockin Nut Road M&M’s…….My husband picked them up for me……….They taste sort of like peanut M&M’s that are an off batch…..Very similar but with an added OFF taste. My husband won’t eat them so I have to toss the bag out.

LIMITED EDITION – KitKat in fruity cereal flavor…..IDK? Some KitKats are good and some are not good…..I think if I wanted FORKING Fruity Cereal…I’d eat cereal and not a fruity cereal flavored KitKat….Well that’s just me….You might differ.

NEW – Drizzilicious – S’Mores mini rice cakes with dark chocolate drizzle….might be good! I bought the other flavor and it was good!

NEW – Drizzilicious – mini rice cakes with cinnamon swirl white chocolate drizzle…These surprised me….They really are good and only 90 calories for almost half the bag or 21 mini rice cakes.

DIFFERENT and possibly NEW – Ben & Jerry’s Justice Remix’d ice cream. It’s Cinnamon and chocolate ice creams with cinnamon bun dough and spicy fudge brownies. I think this ice cream would be so much better if they mixed in fresh baked cinnamon buns instead of raw cinnamon bun dough. I think raw cinnamon bun dough sounds HORRIBLE….LISTEN WORLD !!!!!! NOBODY FORKING EATS RAW CINNAMON BUN DOUGH. Someone must have been on drugs to think up this flavor.

There is always a New or Limited Edition Oreo Cookie.

LIMITED EDITION – Nabisco Oreo Cookies with THREE layers of cream AND popping candy…..so you can do banging farts that come out striped.

LIMITED EDITION – NBA Dy-Nasty….opps..my bad…….I mean Dynasty Oreos. Same old flavor. They just look different.

That was the New, Weird, Different, Limited and Special Edition Foods out there for June 2021. Who knows WTFork I’ll come across next month?

The Forking Truth

My Forking Thoughts on Universal Yums – Turkey 2021

Universal Yums is a gift or subscription service for a box of international snacks. You have a few different size choices.

I get the basic Yum Box and it comes with a booklet of facts, trivia, a recipe and information about my snacks.

Lets try a snack.

Ummmm…Now these are tasty! They are little cookies filled with a chocolaty filling that is laced with a small amount of hazelnut and tahini. These are tasty…Now they are gone.

We got a Yum bag with Mastic Toffees and Melon and Lime Chews.

Oh joy……..(not really)…Turkish sour watermelon gummies. I just don’t do gummies and ESPECIALLY Don’t FORKING do sour gummies. But I will ask my husband to eat one.

Next is a coconut & coffee snowball cake.

I like coconut but never liked coffee so far. I thought maybe I haven’t had good coffee yet and that is why I don’t like coffee? I tried two bites. I think I would like this if I liked coffee. The cake is moist with a nice texture and the exterior is very unique. The center cream isn’t terrible. I would like this if I liked coffee, Coffee just taste like bitter coffee grinds to me……

Next……

Baharat spiced cracker chips in taco flavor…??? They are odd to us….They are very powdery chippy crackers……..The powder texture sort of bothers me more than the odd flavors….They are very salty, they are onion-ee, there is sweetness to them, They finish very sweet….They sort of stick to my teeth.

Only two treats left….

Here’s tahini halva…..Not bad…It seems like light fluffy frosting that taste like sesame seeds instead of something too sweet.

Last treat

These are just plain chickpeas that are salted. These are GOOD! The texture doesn’t break my teeth like most bagged chickpea snacks. These you can actually eat in salad and do have a nice natural chickpea flavor. These I would buy if I saw in the store.

Those were my FORKING Thoughts on Universal Yums – Turkey 2021

NEW – Whozeewhatzit??????? It says it’s chocolate with chocolatey crisps and peanut butter…,Might be good. Might suck? Have to try it to know. Weird name for a candy bar. I don’t see a manufacturer name either..????? Guess it’s made by WhoZeeWhatzit?

My Forking Thoughts on Universal Yums – February 2021 Ukraine Box

Universal Yums sells snacks from around the world. You can either subscribe or gift in a variety ways and different available sizes.

I get the basic Yum Box. These days it is 5-7 snacks and runs around $16. a month. My box includes a 12 page booklet with fun facts, a recipe and some games.

The first treat we try are the wasabi spicy potato strips.

They taste like they could be made by Pringles but in a long thin strip and wasabi flavored…Ummmm not bad. I’m surprised that they aren’t all busted up. Not bad..I’d buy them once in a while.

Next we try the baked Milk and Dark Chocolate Bar.

It’s a lot of wafers surrounded by a dark chocolaty wax coating. Not awful….but also not great…..I think mine is an off batch…I have next to zero filling between the wafers. It’s kind of dry. Oh well what’s next?

Next we open the Yum Bag. we try a juice filled Ukrainian mixed fruit jelly (yellow wrapper)……It’s weird….Not sure what it taste like….It’s coated with cornstarch and my mouth full of cornstarch…but is more jelly fruity and wet than corn starch…..It’s weird to me.

A day later I tried the other candy in the Yum Bag.

WOW! This candy is even weirder than the last candy. It’s really soft caramel with a strawberry fruit center that doesn’t taste like much. My husband found this candy less weird. He also agreed that you barely taste the strawberry and it’s mostly just a soft caramel…….I would never eat this again.

This is suppose to be a sweeter condensed milk cream cake. I don’t think mine wasn’t made right. It’s very dry and not sweet…I think it taste like it was made with saw dust………YUK! Neither me or my husband could stomach this one.

This one is a creme brûlée milk chocolate bar…It’s very sweet….like as sweet as thick donut icing….It’s too sweet. I think you can get diabetes if you eat more than one chocolate piece. This one was almost good.

Last snack is the roasted garlic rye chips.

My bread chips arrived mostly busted up. I go to taste one…..Not much on garlic taste….Mine taste like dry wheat bread mixed with wood pulp and they are very dry…..

I hope next month is better or I will have to cancel my membership.

Those were my Forking Thoughts on Ukraine Universal Yums

The Forking Truth

My Forking Thoughts on Lay’s Magic Masala Potato Chips

I found these Lay’s Magic Masala Potato Chips at Asiana Market in Deer Valley in Phoenix. They are a medium size bag that weighs around 3 1/2 ounces. These chips are from India.

The ingredients don’t look bad. Not too many chemicals. I’m so glad that they used edible vegetable oil instead of the inedible vegetable oil.

I take a whiff before I try them. It really does remind me of Indian food. They do smell fragrant.

I spill some out.

The chips are on the small side. They have ridges and feel sort of powdery.

I taste one slowly.

It’s very spicy. The flavors I taste are heavy with onion, garlic and chili pepper flavors. There are other flavors…One is something sort of vinegary. I’m getting the tomato and maybe cumin. There are other flavors that fill in but the onion, garlic and heat over power those flavors. Ginger might be there. …It taste like maybe asafoetida is there. I think that is the mystery flavor that makes this Indian Masala.

My husband tries some. He thought he was eating smoky BBQ chips…(lol)

These chips sure are better than many of the Lay’s flavors. I would like more ethnic kind of flavor here but they still are good tasting chips. However these chips are only for people who can take spicy.

Not bad…They don’t suck!

Your opinion may indeed differ.

The Forking Truth

My Forking Thoughts on Lay’s Flamin’ Hot Dill Pickle Potato Chips

Lay’s Flamin’ Hot Dill Pickle Potato Chips have been out for a while now but I finally got up the nerve to try them. About a year ago I tried several different flavors of Lay’s potato chips that just didn’t do it for me so I gave up trying new flavors until recently.

These Lay’s Flamin’ Hot Dill Pickle Potato Chips smell just like a jar of dill pickle!

I got to look at the ingredients.

They have a few ingredients that are unexpected like whey and sour cream…..???? Why whey and sour cream? They don’t go into spicy dill pickles!

Here are the chips up close.

The chips are smaller in size and are a little powdery.

I taste one. It’s almost too hot and *****IS*****too vinegary for me.

My husband loves them and is woofing them down.

The chips for me are painful to eat slow.

If I eat them faster they don’t hurt my mouth and they really do taste like spicy dill pickles.

Pretty good and worth a try! …Just don’t eat them slow.

Your experience and taste may indeed differ.

The Forking Truth

My Forking Thoughts on Universal Yums – December Special Edition Greetings From Everywhere

Universal Yums ( www.UniversalYums.com ) is a subscription service for a box of international snacks. You can subscribe for yourself or gift in number of ways and different size ways. The basic Yum Box is 6 snacks with a 12 page booklet of games, trivial and a recipe and runs around $15.00 a month.

The next size up is called the Yum Yum Box. It’s the above Yum Box but contains twice as many snacks (12) the booklet and they say more! The Yum Yum Box runs around $25.00 a month.

The largest box is called the Super Yum Box that contains 20 snacks the booklet and more and runs around $40.00 a month.

At this time I’m just doing the basic Yum Box.

The first Yum we try is the Sugar & Anise Polvoron from Spain.

It’s a powdered shortbread cookie. It’s laced with anise and has a little more powdered sugar on it than the typical shortbread cookie.

Our next Yum is the Roast Turkey & Stuffing Potato Crisps from Scotland.

These chips are cut thick and taste like a combination of poultry seasoning mixed with powdered onion.

Next Yum was very unusual.

Salted egg yolk popcorn from Taiwan. My husband screamed when he tasted them. They are very odd and not like any popcorn I’ve tasted before. They don’t have that crunchy kernel thing that sticks in your teeth. These seem fluffier…… But oddly they almost seem seem wet or liquid in them but they aren’t………..They are sweet but are more salty than sweet. I don’t think that they taste like egg but taste sort of buttery in an artificial but not bad way. I don’t really know why but I like them…….They seem light and are odd but pleasingly sweet and salty but not too salty.

Next we tried the Mocktail Bon Bons from the United Kingdom.

They are small powdered chewy and tangy treats. I think people with false teeth might have trouble with them. (LOL) They sort of remind me of what I think were those Now and Later Candies (haven’t eaten then in decades…might be remembering wrong candy?) but tiny. For me they are too tangy but I am sensitive to tangy and sour.

Alpine Nut Cake from The Swiss Alps were next.

It’s a little crunchy cake…almost like a cookie filled with walnuts and hazelnuts….Not bad….I could eat it again.

Ever try cookies from the Netherlands?

Little spice cookies…..Not bad…pretty good…..I never really ate spice cookies. I think they’d be great in ice cream or in a crust for other desserts.

Last and not least.

Cocoa Dusted Chocolate Truffles from France.

YUM! These are smooth and chocolatey, not too sweet and just right. Wouldn’t mind a bigger bag of them!

Can’t wait to find out what I will be trying next month!
