Ogdensburg oddities March 2016

Carrot cake hershey's kisses. Ick. I'll bring these to work.

Armour Treat.  This  makes me so grossed out.

Prediction: both the Hormel beef tamales in chili sauce and filled cupcake oreos will be disgusting.

New springtime Milano flavours: banana chocolate and orange chocolate.  Might be OK.

Doritos mix taco explosion.

Sara Lee tries to rebrand Vachon Flaky and Ah Caramel... I wonder if they are suitable to American tastebuds.

Pillsbury S'mores and chocolate lava mini pies. BARFF

The freakiest seasonal item of the month: if you like Shamrock shakes from McDonald's, you might drink TruMoo mint flavoured milk. Ick

Chipotle BBQ flavoured cheese curds. ewww

Kellogg's cereal to go - fits in your car's cup holder - Imagine driving while eating handfuls of cereal.  Seems messy.

Mucho Mango Arizona drink - just tastes like sugar

March 2016 local items

Skyr, the Icelandic style yogurt. It is thick like Greek yogurt, but tastes better.   But I wouldn't buy it again.

I bought these Otis Spunkmeyer mini muffins out of curiosity. I am pretty sure cookies from that company used to be given out on flights.  The muffins were extremely sugary.

Sensible Portions garden veggie chips: I did not eat any because my bro ate them all!

Natura fortified chocolate almond beverage: it is as chocolatey and sugary as chocolate milk.

 I bought this potato spiraler from the internet.

These Gardein Pocket Meals (fake pulled pork flavour) are disgusting!  It tastes like what a magic marker smells like.

No bake banana split cake for pi day.  Here is the recipe: http://www.letsdishrecipes.com/2013/05/no-bake-mile-high-banana-split-pie.html

Raspberry milk chocolate shake and tuna sandwich from Cacao 70.

First non-gross President's Choice product I have eaten in a while: Mini Jamaican Beef Patties

Trying to save French's factory.  Garlic ketchup is OK.

Nagaraya Garlic Cracker Nuts: not bad

February 2016 Ogdensburg Oddities

Finding Dory, the most shiny and beautiful cereal box I have ever seen.

Sargento Balanced Breaks: Assemble your own snacks and save money!

Dominiex? Eggplant Cutlets: Very greasy

Welch's Fruit & Botanical.  I tried the Cucumber Watermelon one. It was very diluted and the cucumber overwhelms the watermelon.  It does give me a good idea to make my own, though.  The strawberry one was gross. It tasted like diluted grape juice.

Lay's Korean  Barbecue: tastes like hamburgers but a bit sweet.  Gave me an enormous MSG headache that night.

Red Velvet oreos: HORRIBLE.  The applesauce cups and grapefruit cups are great.

Lay's Smoked Gouda & Chive: tastes nothing like smoked gouda.  Mostly onionish.  Ruffles Classic Hot wings: tastes nothing like buffalo wings. It tastes like barbecue chips but a bit spicier.

 Chef Boyardee Chicken Alfredo: Ewwwwwwwww

Welch's 100% juice unfiltered.  The blackberry and the grape seem to taste identical.  At least it was on sale.

I got this at Costco. It is pretty good.

February local items

Soursops were on sale.

I got this Batman cereal at walmart. It was disgusting. Nobody at work wants to eat it.  It is GREASY and very very dusty.

Not memorable?

One time Fernand's wife made something like this so I was excited to see them in Freshco... but the taste was disappointing compared to the home made one.

Got a GIANT flake in my raisin bran.

Two new flavours of KitKat in Superstore.  The mint one was gross (didn't taste like chocolate).  The Cookies & Cream one was OK, only because it tasted like regular, not like white chocolate.

These cookies were a damn ripoff.  The cookies were very small and there were very few in the box.  Stick to Peek Freans!

 I got this chocolate cheese in Farm Boy.  Ennhh not worth the money.  Might as well eat some Philadelphia chocolate cream cheese.

Sprouted peas from Farm Boy

Chocolate chip bread from France.  I got it in Farm Boy.  Not worth the cost.

Hasselback potatoes

 This is take out chicken curry from Nu Caribbean. I noticed this restaurant while driving around during lunch.  The curry was pretty bland but still good.  The lady at the cash is super nice.

January T&T, Popeye's and Panera

I found out on Reddit that we have a Popeye's restaurant here so I decided to head out to T&T area to see what's new.

at Panera, I got the "Thai" wonton broth bowl.  It was actually pretty good and you get a free bun or cookie or chips.  I would definitely go back.

Popeye's popcorn shrimp with fries.  This place was nuts.  Took me 20 minutes to get my order.  Sounds like it has been this way for two months since it first opened.

Fried chicken. I also tried rice & beans and mashed potatoes.  The biscuit was extremely salty.

Make your own marmalade?

uhhh my coworkers ate most of them.. I would not buy this again.  Found it in Your Independent Grocer.

I got this last time in Ogdensburg.  Very good taste.

I got this last time in Ogdensburg.  Would not buy this again.

I got the recipe for this no-bake cheesecake from sooey.  It was delicious and only takes like 5 minutes to make.

new items in T&T: black rice crackers and some kind of baked potato snack.

The packaging is excellent for these lily flavoured rice balls but I wonder how they will taste so I always chicken out.

Maybe I should have gotten this upgrade.  They look good.

I recognize this actor from HK comedy movies.
