$20 for canned salmon with a smokey flavor in a fancy box
I should have paid more attention to the 1 and 2 star reviews. I can only assume the 5 star reviewers are fools who have never had proper smoked salmon or lox. This stuff comes with a couple of ounces of liquid, tastes like and has the consistently of canned salmon with smokey flavor which is available at any large grocery store for $4.It is dry, stiff/flaky, not meaty-soft-smooth. I believe the salmon costs $4, the box costs $8, and the rest is profit. Amazon should get this garbage off their site or relabel this product as smoky-canned-salmon in a vacuum packed bag shipped in a fancy box.Private selection salmon at kroger costs just as much per ounce and is proper smoked salmon or lox. This stuff is dog or cat food and fit for the garbage bin. Save your money or flush it down the toilet. | 01 star

This is the real deal
Be careful! After trying this wonderful blend of spices, with great complexity of flavor, that they say is made with 35 ingredients, I found ras el hanout in my local grocery store. When I tried it alongside this one, there was no comparison. Then I checked the label--the local one had only 8 ingredients! It went into the trash and another order was placed to Zamouri.Ras el hanout can be used in a number of Moroccan dishes that are fabulous, although they tend to be complex to prepare--although if you're in the mood they are worth the effort. But I also use it in tomato soup to give an amazing richness of flavor to it, transforming an everyday dish to a company dish. Today I'm braising short ribs, and when I've cooked down the braising liquid I'll add ras el hanout to provide a symphony of flavor to it. I haven't tried it with tomatoes and cheese on an omelet, but it's the sort of thing that's likely to be fabulous. With a little experimentation, you'll find your own favorite uses for it. | 45 stars

Has TOXIC ingredients
Has toxic magnesium stearate and titanium dioxide which is carcinogen.This explains WHY the ingredients are not displayed and you need to BUY a product to see what's in it.TRY Ricochet Mints with Xylitol, Peppermint -- it's THE BEST!All natural and has only THREE ingredients: Xylitol, Gum Arabic, and Peppermint Essential Oil. | 01 star

Very Good!
My husband and I love this rice. It is nutty as another reviewer mentioned. I like it because it is so different from regular brown or white rice. When I cook it, I use my rice cooker on the brown rice setting - and then add just a little bit of extra water, and it comes out perfectly. We often put it with stroganoff, but we also like it with butter, salt, and pepper. | 34 stars

LOVE IT!!!!
The box is really wonderful. I can put it on my shelf and it would blend in I guess. I havent really checked inside but it looks like mostly strawberry and chocolate and vanilla(?), and wee amount of mango. | 34 stars

The Best Spaghetti Ever
This spaghetti spice mix has the best taste ever. This is the favorite spaghetti of everyone I know who has tried it. If I cannot find it in the store and substitute another, my family immediate knows it. In addition. they want me to make other Italian dishes with the same spice mix. | 45 stars

Horrible!!
Just bought a box of "The Original Salerno Butter Cookies" from a Walgreens.They are NOT Salerno butter cookies.They were wrong from the get go. The color was too light, they did not have that good buttery aroma..they were wayyy too hard to bite and they were dry and pretty tasteless. They were cheap cookies shaped like Salerno butter cookies. Apparently they are now made by Lance. Same people who make those cheddar cheese cracker/peanut butter sandwiches.Very Very disappointing! | 01 star

Aqua Drops
This is a great product, especially for older people who get dry mouth, like the 93-year-old woman we bought them for. She loves them. Unfortunately, they are no longer being manufactured, so we got some of the last the company that shipped them had in stock. | 45 stars

Jerk for Dummies!!
Spicy, smooth, with an incredible taste. The vendor sends out the order quickly. When we ordered the seasoning we also purchased another seasoning to 'taste test'. Hands down Walkerswood Jamaican beat the other. We grilled a few pieces of chix after seasoning it and letting it sit for a day. When we finished cooking it, we let it rest we sat down to eat and realized that Walkerswood has the perfect flavor. | 45 stars

Great Product,Poor Packaging
The price was right the name LIPTON was great but the packaging of this item was a big disappointment as most of the tea bags were damaged and not usable. Hopefully the shipper will improve their boxes so that the bags arrive in one shape....good shape. | 23 stars

Excellent replacement for cornstarch
Arrowroot was recommended to us as a "paleo" alternative to cornstarch. We have used it in an amazing pecan pie as well as various soups and sauces. A great addition to our pantry! | 45 stars

Cap won't close
Great oil. However, you'll never get the cap back on the bottle. Once you open it, the cap won't go back on. I placed the cap on top of the bottle to cover it, so next time I went to pick up the bottle, I ended up dropping it, wasting the oil. | 12 stars

DISAPPOINTING
Ordered some VERY expensive cookies direclty form David's Cookies...Was given a delivery date 6-days in future...on 9th day--no delivery, so I emailed...on 12th day NO return email and still no delivery, so I called. Was told "Gee...I thought that was taken care of...it will go out TODAY" !!!! No compensaiton for this missed gift, and no offer of upgraded delivery for their shoddy handling of this order...VERY DISAPPOINTED and will not do business with them in the future. | 01 star

constipation
we switched from the advance similac to the organic product thinking it would be better as we prefer organic foods ourselves. it was a disaster with our 2 month old baby getting constipated and progressively worsening her intake till she fell drastically below her calorie intake. we discontinued the product within five days and switched back to the previous similac and she is fine now. her feeding and calorie intake is back to normal | 01 star

Nice flavor additions to my kitchen
You can cook with these delicious, lightly flavored oils, or use them after cooking to "season to taste". Great as bases for salad dressings, including pasta salads. | 34 stars

Rich in Nutrition and in Flavor!
Oskri Org. Sesame Bars with Molasses and Fennel - High in IRON. First I tried the Sesame Bars (plain) and loved them. These supply 18.6% RDA iron. These have more flavor than the plain sesame bars, and a little more iron.Each pkg contains 3 thin bars, I call wafers, being thin makes them easy to eat.I have read that fennel is good to help control appetite, and has nutrition. These are very good and I plan to buy more by using the subscribe and save feature. | 45 stars

Great tasting tea
I came across this tea a few years ago and decided to give it a try when I was having trouble sleeping. Now I won't say that it's a miracle tea and knocks you flat on your butt after a few sips but it is calming. It has a great flavor to it too which I didn't expect with all the herbs and spices. Plus you get a hint of sweetness from the stevia that helps tie all the flavors together. I've tried other bedtime tea's and so far this one is my favorite. | 45 stars

The One Big Difference!
I'd been using the ' Stonewall Kitchen Pancake & Waffle Mix ' for a couple of years. It's quite good, but it had the same problem that I'd found with all other pancake mixes. If I had pancakes left over and reheated them the next day, they always came out dry. Then I saw that the reviews for ' Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mix' were great. I picked up a bag of it at the local Whole Foods. I was a little leery at first, because the package said that it is gluten and wheat free, but my leeriness was probably due to my lack of experience with this category of products. As I did with the Stonewall Kitchen mix, I modified the recipe. I used two eggs, instead of one. I used butter ( probably about a quarter stick ), instead of oil. I used milk, instead of water. To my great pleasure, they not only were quite delicious, but when I reheated the leftovers the next day, THEY WEREN'T DRY! Now I know why the reviews are so favorable. My future purchases of this fine product will be from Amazon, because of the great price. | 45 stars

The cinnamon is top quality with a very good price. The bag it came in is designed for long storage times. So anyone using this over the span of one or two years will be satisfied. | 45 stars

Earl Grey - Excellent
I love tea, Earl Grey is one of my favorite.I tried Twinings, Stash (Double Bergamot Earl Grey), and this one - Bigelow.I found that Twinings quality varies from bag from bag, not just from box to box. The good ones are very good, and the bad ones do not even smell the Bergamot. The Stash Double Bergamot smells very good, but when drinking it, it's like drinking orange peel tea.The Bigelow Earl Grey has yet to show te variations among tea bags. If you like Earl Grey, this one is highly recommended. | 45 stars

As close as you will get to the Cinnabon Makara Cinnamon
If you don't want to have to buy a 50 pounfd box of Cinnabon Makara Cinnamon from questionable soruces on Ebay, then this is the next best thing. Makara is just their branded name. Korintje Cinnamon is a strong and aromatic cinnamon that comes very close to the Cinnabon's Makara brand. There are many types of "cinnamon" and they all come from the bark of trees in the same basic family. The strongest cinnamon you can buy is Vietnamese extra strength but that's more in the red hots flavor range. if you are looking for a good strong cinnamon to m akes sweet pastires with - this is your best bet. Pampered Chef uses this type and so do a number of other gorumet sources. Try it! At least you won't have 49.99 pounds of Makara cinnamon sitting on your shelf when you are done! | 45 stars

Wonderfully Balanced Spice Mix!
We have been using this spice mix for years. I use it in place of traditional taco seasoning with shredded beef or pork to make tacos that are much lower in sodium and have a taste suited to a more gourmet palette. We also use it as it is intended to make salsa, but it is very versatile and makes a great addition to chili as well. | 45 stars

Was okay, not quite the effect I hoped for
The dust worked okay, but didn't give me quite the effect I hoped for. I tried sprinkling it and painting with it, and neither had great results. Painting was streaky and never got a real, solid, gold look to it. I will use the remainder of what I have, but will probably not buy again. It does seem to last longer than I though (goes further than you would expect the little vial to do). | 23 stars

These chunky peanut butter protein bars are pretty tasty. The consistency is good, chewy, but not overly so. I did expect more peanut chunks, though. They are very filling, and serve well as a lunch replacement. | 34 stars

Middle-of-the-road extract sauce
I'm a hot sauce junkie and have eaten many bottles of Dave's and other sauces. I rate Dave's Ultimate Insanity an average.It has an unnatural bitter "cayenne-on-overdrive" flavor that is usually only found in hotter sauces. I find it's hard to use in cooking as that flavor is as unavoidable as the sauce's heat is. Though the primary ingredient is habanero peppers that pepper's flavor is needlessly absent. That's too bad.There are sauces at equal heat that have more diverse and interesting flavor, and this does include some of Dave's stable, for example his Naga Jolokia sauce. And as I said, there's also hotter sauces out there, although most of these taste similar to Ultimate Insanity.Warning: this is an extract sauce, and it'll do a number on an empty stomach. High-fat dairy is a good cure. | 23 stars

Great gluten-free snack
I have endometriosis and was looking for snacks that would not aggravate my condition. These pretzels are so delicious, I can eat them all day with no negative effects. I will say that people either hate these or love these though. The people who hate them seem to be males more than females and usually are people who do not have any alergies. My best work friend (who is vegan) sneaks into my desk constantly for them. The taste is like eating just the outside crunchy part of a regular pretzel. They are very crunchy and well suited for travelling, stashing in your office desk, and snacking during surfing the web. I reccomend these to people with food alergies that miss their wheat snack products and often get a craving for a salty snack.Additionally, I find them to be a great value and they last a long time. They are less suceptable to getting stale than regular snacks. I ordered two boxes eight months ago and still have a few bags left. When I open the new bags, they are just as fresh and tasty as the ones I opened eight months ago. If you get tired of snacks and want to rotate variety, these pretzels will wait until you are ready to fit them back into your lunch pack. | 45 stars

I good alternative to Postum
Like everyone else, I was pretty bummed that Postum was discontinued. Pero is a close second, though, but not the same. I do like the taste of Pero, but have to doctor it up a little more (cream and sugar). Overall, a good way to end a long day and prep for bed. | 34 stars

The new formula is AWFUL!
I've been drinking Good Earth tea for years and have had frequent comments from co-workers about the wonderful scent. Not any more. I don't know what changed but I ended up dumping most of every cup down the drain. Headed out today to find a new tea. Very sad. | 01 star

Great Honey !!!!! Good luck with packaging.....
This honey is great, I mean really really great. Initially I was liking more the Hawaiian white honey, another great honey but now my taste is leaning towards this one... My kids love it too. If you can get the jars unbroken because of very poor packaging, it's very very worthy | 45 stars

don't feel left out at the next summer picnic
This meat-free sloppy joe mix is one of Fantastic foods best products. I use the expanded recipe on the back of the box that calls for onions and tomato paste and the result is simply fantastic.If you miss some foods from your non-vegetarian life, are transitioning to a vegetarian life, want to fit in more with the crowd at your next picnic and/or simply want something delicious, you need to pick up this product.The texture is pleasant the nutritional profile is good; this is a low calorie meal option that packs on the protein. My husband eats quite a bit of meat and devours these.This product is also fairly cheap, cooks quickly and makes you feel satisfied. I couldn't recommend it more. | 45 stars

This is a staple for me!
This stuff is perfect: affordable, delicious, wheat-free, and has a two year shelf life even when opened (though it must be refrigerated once open).I also love the veggie, beef, and vegetarian beef and chicken substitutes. The beef is my least favorite because it's less versatile, but it's still delicious--it just goes poorly in rice and some other dishes I love.The things I make frequently with this are broth to drink straight on bad tummy or bad cold days, rice, and "easy noodle soup." I like to either boil noodles and veggies with it or use hot water from the microwave or kuerig to make noodle and veggie soup. A little ginger and rosemary in the soups helps with a sick tummy, too! When I cook noodles this way it helps to use very thin ones or to drink off the first round of broth in the mug and pour a second bath of hot water over more bullion and the same noodles and veggies so they get enough time to cook.I always have one of these open and one in reserve--it's great for regular cooking, but never be caught sick without some on hand!I have yet to find a better stock, but I have to admit I quit looking once I found this stuff. | 45 stars

sugar, celery, salt, etc.
I eat a lot of these kippers. I've tried others, these are very tasty.But I'm curious.I buy the 3.53oz tins. The ingredients listed on the tin are Herring fillets (85%), water, seasonings (with celery, soy, gluten), sugar, natural flavoring, dextrose, smoke.when you go to the mwpolar website, they only have the 3.54oz tins and list the ingredients as smoked fillets of herring, salt.Are these two cans different? Is this just a US label? | 45 stars

Memories of High School
Yep. They are just as I too remember from High School 40 years ago. Cherry and grape always have been my favorites. There are quite a few orange, strawberry and blue raspberry. I knew I would be happy with the suckers. They have not changed and I never stopped liking them. The challenge is finding them. I should have known Amazon would point me in the right direction. I read all the reviews before I ordered. Amazon did everything they could to protect the product. The box of suckers was surrounded on all sides by those wonderful air pillows. I was hopeful that there would be no breakage. But, Amazon cannot stop the lollipops inside the manufacturer's package from crashing into each during the toss and tumble of shipping. I counted (yes, I did) 14 shattered suckers. I'll eat those because broken ones have no calories. Many of the others show a few signs of being a little scuffed. I'll still give them to friends and coworkers. I also ordered the sweet and sour combination package. I can hardly wait. Close your eyes and enjoy the flavors. | 45 stars

Chocolate makes the treat.
The temptation with a mallomar is to critique the one as three, the cookie and then the marshmallow and then the chocolate, as if three cookies stepped out of a bar together, and were in fact Larry, Curly, Moe, rather than the three stooges of cookiedom.To see the mallomar as parts, not a whole, as separable, like the Oreo, as split into segments, is to diminish the mallomar. This is philosophical reductionism, the sort of analysis that leads a sloppy thinker to believe that a material element explains the spiritual, that science explains experience, that what a man thinks encompasses what a man does.The mallomar stands athwart these modernistic tendencies with a traditional meld of flavors, a completeness.The headline of this review was written during a weak moment, a moment when a nibble was made, the edge tasted, and the chocolate found exceptional. This shallow and specious moment, I preserve in the headline, to show that fateful reduction in essay form is a failing, unlike in the making of a sauce, where reduction is a tool.Mallomars cannot be reduced. They are one, and the best way to eat one is to take a larger bite, to get marshmallow, cookie, and chocolate in a grasp and a gasp of flavor.Long live mallomars!. As a midwestern person, I often cannot find them in my grocer, and this is a shame. A shame.Even better with milk. | 45 stars

coffee lover review
Kenya AA coffee from Aroma Ridge is slightly better than most in flavor but similar products are available for less money. It has been harder to find high grade Kenya since political wars of Xmas 2007. Best I've found in US is from Salt Lake Roasting company--also pricey but worth it for what I consider the best (or sometimes the worst) Arabica coffee in the world. | 23 stars

Dean Foods, Inc. is not to be trusted.
I am writing to let you know that I have a concern regarding Dean Foods's sick screeds. Before I start, however, I should state that to understand what Dean Foods's particularly frightful form of absenteeism has encompassed as a movement and as a system of rule, we have to look at its historical context and development as a form of infernal politics that first arose in early twentieth-century Europe in response to rapid social upheaval, the devastation of World War I, and the Bolshevik Revolution. I wouldn't judge Dean Foods's followers too harshly. They're just cannon fodder for Dean Foods's plot to open the gates of Hell. We must coolly and objectively adopt the standpoint that those who fight against Dean Foods's mindless ploys are inevitably branded as sinful and contentious by Dean Foods's supporters, but that's really beside the point.If Dean Foods wanted to, it could scrap the notion of national sovereignty. It could stultify art and retard the enjoyment and adoration of the beautiful. And it could create a new fundamentalism based not on religion but on an orthodoxy of gangsterism. We must not allow Dean Foods to do any of these. Despite what you may have been taught in school, I want to unify our community. Dean Foods, in contrast, wants to drive divisive ideological wedges through it. Dean Foods says it is within its legal right to incite racial hatred. Whether or not it indeed has such a right, it is important to realize that I wish Dean Foods would vanish into the same logistical nothingness that its arguments invariably lead to. Dean Foods may mean well but its histrionics always follow the same pattern. It puts the desired twist on the actual facts, ignores inconvenient facts, and invents as many new "facts" as necessary to convince us that ethical responsibility is merely a trammel of earthbound mortals and should not be required of a demigod like it. It is hard to decide what is stronger in Dean Foods: its incredible stupidity as far as any real knowledge or ability is concerned, or the wretched insolence of its behavior.Before you declare me immature, let me assert that Dean Foods's perspective is that children should get into cars with strangers who wave lots of yummy candy at them. My perspective, in contrast, is that when Dean Foods tells us that its stratagems prevent smallpox, it somehow fails to mention that we have to start talking with one another honestly, in honest language. It fails to mention that I could make a long argument for the idea that grotty soi-disant do-gooders and people of similar psychological type are often inspired by its epigrams. And it fails to mention that if you ever ask it to do something, you can bet that your request will get lost in the shuffle, unaddressed, ignored, and rebuffed. We must understand that Dean Foods is every bit as mean-spirited as the worst sorts of wayward blatherskites there are. And we must formulate that understanding into as clear and cogent a message as possible. Dean Foods tries to make us think the way it wants us to think, not by showing us evidence and reasoning with us, but by understanding how to push our emotional buttons. To be honest, Dean Foods is firmly convinced that it holds a universal license that allows it to place rancorous quidnuncs at the head of a nationwide kakistocracy. Its belief is controverted, however, by the weight of the evidence indicating that Dean Foods's secret passion is to fortify a social correctness that restricts experience and defines success with narrow boundaries. For shame!There's one thing you can undeniably say about Dean Foods: It has a sense of humor. It was being a real comedian when it told us that antiheroism and radicalism are identical concepts. Don't let yourself be persuaded by cuckoo flimflammers who secretly want to pander to our worst fears. Dean Foods claims that it's okay to go to great lengths to conceal its true aims and mislead the public. Sound suspicious? Morally crippled is a better word.Dean Foods is so tied up in its personal dreams that it is oblivious to what is happening in the world around it. Here, too, the exception proves the rule: I indisputably don't believe that Dean Foods's deeds are all sweetness and light. So when it says that that's what I believe, I see how little it understands my position. Individually, Dean Foods's ultimata relabel millions of people as "chthonic". But linked together, Dean Foods's tirades could use psychological tools to trick us into doing whatever sanctimonious, ophidian boors require of us. Just the other day, some of Dean Foods's odious sycophants forced a prospectus into my hands as I walked past. The prospectus described Dean Foods's blueprint for a world in which aberrent, inaniloquent saboteurs are free to open the floodgates of snobbism. As I dropped the prospectus onto an overflowing wastebasket, I reflected upon the way that I want to live my life as I see fit. I can't do that while Dean Foods still has the ability to perpetuate harmful stereotypes.What is the most appropriate way to put an end to grotesque imperialism? Education -- the real thing, not the fatuous, muzzy-headed facsimile that Dean Foods promotes in order to introduce, cultivate, and encourage moral rot. Many of our problems would be solved if only more people were educated to learn that the facts as I see them simply do not support the false, but widely accepted, notion that Dean Foods's invectives won't be used for political retribution.With Dean Foods's proposed social programs hanging over us like the Sword of Damocles, it makes sense that the time is always right to do what is right. That's why we must undoubtedly rage, rage against the dying of the light. The first step in that process is to realize that it's its belief that my posts demonstrate a desire to obliterate our sense of identity. I can't understand how anyone could go from anything I ever wrote to such a scornful idea. In fact, my posts generally make the diametrically opposite claim, that Dean Foods should do some research next time before printing half-truths and misinformation. Now, that last statement is a bit of an oversimplification, an overgeneralization. But it is nevertheless substantially true. Dean Foods's bedfellows say that nothing would help society more than for them to sacrifice children on the twin altars of charlatanism and greed. Sorry, I don't buy that. Those of us who are still sane, those of us who still have a firm grip on reality, those of us who still think that we should act and act fast, have an obligation to do more than just observe what Dean Foods is doing from a safe distance. We have an obligation to free people from the fetters of autism's poisonous embrace. We have an obligation to build an inclusive, nondiscriminatory movement for social and political change. And we have an obligation to win the culture war and save this country.Moreover, Dean Foods should work with us, not step in at the eleventh hour and hog all the glory. Dean Foods's most progressive idea is to use rock music, with its savage, tribal, orgiastic beat, to inure us to pea-brained, unscrupulous alarmism. If that sounds progressive to you, you must be facing the wrong way.Forgive me, dear reader, but I must be so tactless as to remind you that Dean Foods is currently limited to shrieking and spitting when it's confronted with inconvenient facts. In the coming days, however, Dean Foods is likely to switch to some sort of "replace our natural soul with an artificial one" approach to draw our attention away from such facts. Dean Foods has a talent for inventing fantasy worlds in which freedom must be abolished in order for people to be more secure and comfortable. Then again, just because Dean Foods is a prolific fantasist doesn't mean that this is the best of all possible worlds and that it is the best of all possible organizations. Dean Foods wants to use scapegoating as a foil to draw anger away from more accurate targets. Why it wants that, I don't know, but that's what it wants.Nothing offends Dean Foods more than the truth. (Read as: Dean Foods is living testimony to the scurrilous attitudes that represent a threat to all the people in the area, indeed, possibly the world.) You won't find many of Dean Foods's lieutenants who will openly admit that they favor Dean Foods's schemes to shatter other people's lives and dreams. In fact, their shenanigans are characterized by a plethora of rhetoric to the contrary. If you listen closely, though, you'll hear how carefully they cover up the fact that Dean Foods recently stated that the Earth is flat. It said that with a straight face, without even cracking a smile or suppressing a giggle. It said it as if it meant it. That's scary, because you may be worried that it will kill the messenger and control the message quicker than you can double-check the spelling of "photodisintegration". If so, then I share your misgivings. But let's not worry about that now. Instead, let's discuss my observation that Dean Foods insists that the rest of us are an inferior group of people, fit only to be enslaved, beaten, and butchered at the whim of our betters. Sorry, Dean Foods, but, with apologies to Gershwin, "it ain't necessarily so." Before long, Dean Foods will turn its back on those who need it the most. Now, I could go off on that point alone, but there are many roads leading to the defeat of its plans to set up dissident groups and individuals for conspiracy charges and then carry out searches and seizures on flimsy pretexts. I, for one, really contend that all of these roads must eventually pass through the same set of gates: the ability to tell it like it is. Will spleeny deadheads ever fight to the end for our ideas and ideals? Don't bet on it. As I conclude this post, let me remind you that my goal in writing it was not only to call people to their highest and best, not accommodate them at their lowest and least. I sought also to use this post as a means to recall the ideals of compassion, nonviolence, community, and cooperation. | 12 stars

Yummy
I am highly allergic to caffeine. Unfortunately chocolate fits this category. The reaction can be a deadly one for me. I wish more chocolate products would use the white chocolate. The white chocolate version of the KIt Kat bar is soo good. | 45 stars

Good in a pinch
If you don't have peppers in the frig and don't have time to run to the store, these will do. Expensive thou with shipping cost. Plan ahead and go to the store. | 12 stars

This is more like tomato sauce or bisque, not cream of tomato soup
If you want real cream of tomato soup that's reminiscent of your childhood, get the Pacific brand. This one is shockingly light on cream and the consistency resembles more of a marinara sauce. I use it too cook with but it's just too strong to use as a soup. | 01 star

A real winner
Hubby loves the muffins for their taste, I do too but also like the ease of preparation!This mix is especially good when feeding just 2, not too many leftovers that can't be eaten the next morning.Of course, when feeding more, just double the packages..that works.I remember years ago how messy muffin mixes with cans of blueberries were. This is far better without, to me, sacrificing taste. | 45 stars

Not very special
I love French Vanilla creamer in my coffee, but if you are expecting the same taste with this coffee, like I was, you will be disappointed. It tastes like weak regular coffee with only a faint hint of vanilla flavoring. I still had to add my creamer. I really like the Senseo coffee (I use it with my Hamilton Beach single cup maker) but I don't think I will buy the flavored anymore. I will stick with the regular and add my creamer. | 23 stars

delicious dressing
The Blackberry Zinfandel Vinaigrette is amazing. It is both sweet and tangy, complementing my sweeter salads, as well as my more savory. I like it with greens, apples and nuts with parmesan; or with spinach, cherry tomatoes, and asiago. Good with chicken and goat cheese, too. The Honey Pear is delicious, but is more of a sweet salad dressing. Good with baby greens, arugula, pears, shaved parmesan, and lightly caramelized walnuts. All salads best with a good dash of freshly ground black pepper. | 45 stars

Progresso Clam Sauce
As the tagline goes.."Make it Progresso or make it yourself!" This is a wonderful product and serves as a sauce base for pasta with fish and calamari etc. Both me and my kids love this product and will continue buying it. | 45 stars

Misrepresentation
Amazon mispresented this product. If you look at the actual package picture, it says it is a seasoning. It is not a marinade. What was sent does not compare favorably to McCormick's original McCormick Fajita Marinade. I don't like the seasoning product and cannot use it. Please do not misrepresent the product. | 01 star

The barley makes it really delicious
I have never been a particular fan of pea soup but decided to try this one since it was vegan. Barley is the second ingredient listed and the flavor really comes through. I love it and find that the barley is what makes it special for me so it will now become one of my pantry staples. | 45 stars

Marzipan/Biermann
This is the best, very easy to work with and abundance with flavor. Used this for my son's wedding cake and recieved multi compliments. Used the small leftover amount in a cheesecake along with some Belgium Chocolate. Needless to say all disappeared quickly. The cake was four layers deep. | 45 stars

Savory Herb and Garlic soup mix by Lipton
Absolutely wonderful produce for oven roasting root vegetables. If you have left-overs they mix well into any soup you are making, just add them to broth or stock and simmer. For a creme soup, put small batches in your blender. | 45 stars

Tummy Ache...but they are delicious!
I absolutely love the flavor of these chips but take heed...if your body does not digest soy well, you will have a tummy ache as I do. Otherwise they are delicous! | 34 stars

weird taste...like lemony artificial sweetener
The texture of this is beautiful...the taste is, frankly, yucky. At first I thought it tasted a little like artificial lemon flavoring rather than "cheesecake" but then the aftertaste is really unpleasant very artificial. Bummer. | 12 stars

HONEYVILLE! LOVE THEM!
I buy from Honeyville often and I love them! Their shipping is always a flat rate. They have monthly special deals. And their products are TOP QUALITY at prices that are amazingly competitive. I can get lesser-quality products of poor freshness locally from our overrated health food store, or I can go online and receive delivered to my door, almond meal (and so many other products) of such freshness for so much less. I love this company's products and have not found one thing yet that I was disappointed in, and their service is always top notch. | 45 stars

Better than cheese
I have purchased Nutritional Food Yeast for years, and Bob's Red Mill is the best. I use it to make "cheese" sauces or to add flavor to all sorts of savory foods. Nutritional Yeast is loaded with B vitamins and is a great food for taste and health. Even my meat-eating husband loves it in recipes I make. Nutritional Food Yeast is also cheaper and healthier than cheese. A great food. | 45 stars

Mint Cocoa Heaven
I've gotten the Land O Lakes mint hot chocolate in the variety packs before and this is my favorite flavor, so I thought why not just drink the one I like best. Actually, I mentioned it to my best friend and she ordered me a case last year for Christmas and I LOVED it!!! | 45 stars

Fantastic Popcorn!
This popcorn is terrific! It pops up very fluffy but on the smaller side and with a lot less hulls. Has a really great taste to it! | 45 stars

Excellent product

OK, but bland
Note that this item is NOT a fruit cake, and although claimed to be a rum cake, you will need a very sensitive palate to detect any rum. This is a moist, decently textured pound cake, with next to know extras. It isn't bad, but considerably overpriced, and not nearly as exciting as its description. | 23 stars

EXCELLENT choice!!
Extra Virgin Cocnut Oil does NOT all taste the same. After trying about 4 different brands, hands down, my family prefers this one. The price that Amazon offers on it is outstanding. Definitaley recommend this product, and purchasing it from Amazon! | 45 stars

Fantastic!
Rarely can I say that a GF product tastes better than the gluten version. Thse cookies do, though. Melt in your mouth delicious, and just the right amount of lemon. I am confident tht if you gave these to gluten eaters, they would not be able to tell the difference. | 45 stars

Terrible
I know, it's not wasabi and it's not supposed to be. I get that.However this tastes LITERALLY like horseradish mixed with mayo. There are wasabi alternatives that actually taste somewhat close to natural wasabi. This stuff is horrible, I picked some up today at Kroger's and am thinking about taking it back (I've never done that before in my life). | 01 star

You have to be speedy-quick for this.
I tried using this coating twice in my big kettle machine. You have to be speedy-quick to dump it out or it tastes burned. The first batch was ok with just a little burned popcorn that came out at the very end when I dumped the kettle. So I thought I wouldn't use so many kernals and see if I could dump it out faster. It ended up with the whole batch tasting burned since there wasn't enough volume to push the popcorn out of the kettle as it popped. The taste of the non-burned batch was good but I don't know if I'll use it again. It sure takes a knack to know the right timing. I didn't think clean-up was any harder than normal. I did add a small amount of water to the kettle after popping and let it start to boil and then dumped it into a bucket. I did this 2-3 times and it got the kettle quite clean. | 12 stars

Hot Stuff
Snyder's of Hanover Hot Buffalo Wing Pretzel Pieces, 10-Ounce Packages (Pack of 12)If you like pretzels, buffalo wings, heat and salt you will love these. They are a product that actually delivers on their promises. They are hot and spicy, but not in the bland heat just to say they are spicy of so many other products. These have the heat and the vinegar tang of actual buffalo chicken wings. I love them. Unfortunately they don't last long at our house. Once a bag is opened they are gone as the burst of heat you get from them is addictive. The only downside aside from the speed at which they get eaten is the orange fingers you get from them. But that is a small price to pay for entrance into flavor heaven. | 45 stars

Good tea
I bought my mom this tea and I think she's addicted to it. She's real picky about teas, seeing as she'll blow cash on high-end jasmine and oolong teas. I wasn't sure if she'd like this at first so I bought a smaller amount. But she said this particular tea is very fragrant and has a great taste. Green tea is probably one of the best teas: chocked full of antioxidants and benefits if you drink it without cream and excessive sugar. Enjoy. | 45 stars

Helping kill Candida!!
My sister recommended I take Apple Cider Vinegar daily to help kill the candida (yeast) I have growing in my body. I CANNOT drink vinegar....it makes me gag.....even though the vinegar smell is quite potent, these are easy to take daily. Great benefits to your health in these little pills. Thanks Amazon for carrying this item!! | 45 stars

For whom are these marketed?
So, this is the thing: these bars are wheat-free and they taste ***good.*** But who cares about the whole wheat-free thing? I'll tell you who, folks who are wheat intolerant or allergic! So, it's all well and fine that this company is touting them as wheat free but they're made with oats as well as barley (gluten ingredients) so that's a big turn off. I don't get it. This product suggests that it is intended for a specialized market but it's made of ingredients that would prohibit purchasing it. Illogical. I wish Barbara's would make this product w/o the gluten so that I could buy it for my family! Meh! | 01 star

Buy some as a back-up
Of course you can make yogurt from starter left over from the last batch. But, what happens when you don't save some starter? This is a great back-up. Its relatively expensive for the tiny amount in each package (you get two packs), but its better than driving to the grocery store to buy some yogurt to use as a starter. It would be great if this vendor came up with a few different starter varieties, they'd probably sell more to people that like to experiment. | 45 stars

First had these candies at a Greek restaurant. Excited to find them on Amazon. They arrived in great shape and taste just like the ones I had at the restaurant. They're especially nice since they are small; you can carry a few easily in your pocket. | 34 stars

Great taste and easy to store
I purchased this product as I don't care for the taste of most powdered milks. They are ok for an emergency, or for cooking, but really aren't the best for flavor as a drink. I have to say the taste is absolutely fantastic! I could not tell the difference between this and store bout whole milk. Yes, it is that good!I will no longer buy regular milk from the dairy aisle at the grocery store, this is what I will use, exclusively for all my milk needs.I mix it as directed with warm water and blend with a stick blender to be sure it's thoroughly mixed. Put it in the refrigerator and an hour later you have great tasting whole milk.I like that I can keep as much as I want on a shelf so I will never run out of milk again. I've subscribed to every other month delivery. | 45 stars
