I was watching Bizarre Foods and I saw this on a shelf in a shop the chef visited.

WEIRD – Queen of Farts Hot Sauce – Doesn’t sound appetizing at all…….and I accidentally came across the next one.

My FORKING Thoughts on Savoursmiths Truffle Rosemary Vegan Luxury English Potato Chips

I noticed these Savoursmiths Truffle Rosemary Potato Chips for around $6.99 a bag at my local Sprouts Grocery. They became discontinued and were marked down to a $1. a bag so I decided to give them a try.

The bag is marked Vegan and the ingredients don’t seem too far out so they seem safe to try.

I open the bag and take a whiff.

They smell strange…………Maybe a little like a herbal soap?

I pour some out.

The chips differ in size from small to large in size and do appear to have bubbly layers in the chips……

Texture-wise the chips are amazing. Crisp but not too crisp with layers also dry and not oily.

but-

The chips are coated very heavy with powders and are over seasoned. They even seem cheesy but cheese is not listed in the ingredients.

Between the cheesy taste, mushroom, onion, garlic, thyme, rosemary, truffle it is all too much and is far too powdery to enjoy.

Those were my FORKING Thoughts on Savoursmiths Truffle and Rosemary Chips.

Your FORKING Thoughts may indeed differ.

My Forking Thoughts on Pumpkin Pie M&M’s – Oy Veh

I used to love M&M’s Candies. I grew up enjoying the original and peanut varieties and latter I enjoyed the almond variety. Over the decades these candies changed things up and also introduced new flavors. Some I liked and some I didn’t care for……It’s been a very long time since I found a new flavor so I gave these Pumpkin Pie M&M’s a try.

WOW! It says on the front of bag ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR ………how good can that be?……..

Anyways

The M&M’s are different colors (Orange, Brown, White) and different sizes? Regular and mega?

I taste some…….I taste some more……

These are just too fake tasting to identify.

They sure DON’T TASTE ANYTHING LIKE PUMPKIN PIE

But even worse……

They don’t taste like chocolate either….

They are kinda sweet but not too sweet like some of them….

They just don’t taste like anything familiar.

Those were my FORKING THOUGHTS on Pumpkin Pie M&M’s I do note that YOUR FORKING THOUGHTS may indeed differ.

My FORKING Thoughts on San Carlo la Vita e Buona Pesto Flavored Potato Chips

I came across these San Carlo la Vita e Buona Pesto Flavored Potato Chips from a specialty on line food store called Yummy Bazaar when I was there buying something else. It says on the bag that this is Italy’s #1 potato chip and I like pesto so I wanted to give it a try.

The ingredients look safe.

I open it up and take a whiff……

It smells something like dried basil………..

I spill some out….

The chips are on the small side.

I eat a few.

They taste almost like pesto…………but a little different……I almost never say this but I think that these chips can use some salt.

The texture of the chips is very different from most chips that I have tried.

The chips are extra thin and have like a hard thin but delicate styrofoam texture that is very strange.

The flavor is a little off………… but because of the texture I might not try this brand again.

That was my FORKING Experience with San Carlo La Vita e Buona Pesto Flavored Potato Chips.

But your FORKING Experience may indeed differ.

My FORKING Thoughts on Manischewitz Dark Chocolate Peppermint Patties – It’s a SURPRISE

I came across these Manischewitz Dark Chocolate Peppermint Patties on a clearance table at my local Smith’s Grocery Store……I don’t recall ever coming across Manischewitz Peppermint Patties before?….Well They only had one bag of them and I do love peppermint patties so I thought I’d give them a try.

I open up the bag.

I’m disappointed because the chocolates are all busted up and stick together.

Then I do take a whiff into the bag…It does smell like peppermint and chocolate.

I try one even though they are damaged.

UMMMM…….The chocolate is thick and good but not real deep like dark chocolate….It’s more like very good milk chocolate with a nice mouth feel…..The peppermint is Really Strong but good……This is like an upgraded Jr Mint…….It’s like Jr Mints but better quality with better stronger mint and better thicker chocolate….

It’s so good that one is satisfying.

I’ll be sad when they are gone.

Those were my FORKING Thoughts on Manischewitz Dark Chocolate Peppermint Patties.

My FORKING Thoughts on Sprouts Pineapple Habanero White Carrot Chips

My local Sprouts Grocery sells a lot of snacks that I never noticed at my old Sprouts around Phoenix that I used to shop at. I picked up these Pineapple Habanero White Carrot Chips because I previously bought Sprouts Hot Honey Beet Chips that were delicious so I thought these Carrot Chips have a chance on being delicious too!

I open it up.

I take a whiff….Don’t really smell much of anything.

I gobble one down…ICK it’s very salty……

I let sit in my mouth till it melts this time.

I do get the habanero. But it’s salty habanero.

WOW! That last chip was extra spicy…ouch.

There is a slight hint of sweetness but it’s so faint that it is hard to identify as pineapple.

The flavors are too unbalanced to enjoy unless you are a fan of very salty and extra spicy.

I should throw them out!

Not a fan of Sprouts Pineapple Habanero White Carrot Chips.

Your FORKING opinion may indeed differ.

WTFork happened to Milk Chocolate M&M’s? They’re Smaller

I haven’t bought a bag of plain M&M’s in a long time until today…..I tried a few and instantly I noticed a difference………They don’t feel or taste the same in my mouth……..I know they are smaller…….I noticed less chocolate when I suck the shells off. Also the ratio is different………Less chocolate makes them seem more sweet and less chocolatey. Then I let my husband try some. He said, “are these the tiny ones?”…..WTFork! Then I went to the internet and found this from wwwFasioncoached.com.

I also found this.

In May 2014 I noticed a few changes in Peanut M&M’s and so far 16 wrote to me and agreed.

This is my May 2014 photo of Peanut M&M’s (above and below)

I happened to pick of some peanut M&M’s recently. Let’s see if they are similar to the 2014 ones. (the photo below)

You know…I think they are even slightly smaller than before……

BAH!

My FORKING Thoughts on Calbe My Pote White Truffle Premium Potato Chips

I found Calbe My Pote White Truffle Premium Potato Chips at my local Seafood City (A California-based Filipino Supermarket Chain) They caught my eye and the ingredients don’t look too bad so I thought I’d give this small bag a try.

Oh WoW! They are made with French Grey sea salt. That salt is very expensive….Ummmm don’t really know what the truffle flavor really is…..Usually artificial is called truffle essence…..maybe they are being tricky here? I’ll try them anyway.

I open the bag up and take a whiff.

I don’t get truffle but I do get a really strong but good potato smell that I don’t usually get when I open a bag of chips…….Like a smell I get when I make mashed potatoes.

I try a chip…They look a little different and seem to have a little bit of skin on them. They are also small, extra thin, and seem free of oil.

Now I taste one……….They do have more potato flavor than what you usually get in a potato chip that are laced with a little bit of truffle taste and are extra lightly salted. But they also seem extra dry. They are different.

Those were my FORKING Thoughts on Calbee My Pote White Truffle Premium Potato Chips I do note that your FORKING Thoughts may indeed differ.
