Boulder Canyon Kettle Cooked Potato Chips, Red Wine Vinegar, 5-Ounce (Pack of 12)
These chips are better than the salt and vinegar ones we usually find at the grocery. My only problem is the price!
Vinegar - Aged white wine - colavita, 16.9 fl.oz.
I make a salad of cut up small cukes, celery, red peppers, apples, onion, kidney beans and garbonzo beans. I use kosher salt and pepper and the colavita aged white wine vinegar. I cut up everything and pour the vinegar over the salad and put it in the refrigerator overnight. The result is a delicious salad. I don't need to use any olive oil with it. I always have this vinegar in my cupboard. This is a great tasting vinegar.
China Black Tea Brick (1.1 pound) by igourmet
I bought this tea as a novelty but it really is a good tea. This is the form of tea thrown into the Hudson Bay during the Boston Tea Party and it sinks easily, and it is also the tea the pioneer settlers used in colonial America. It is slightly more flavorful than the usual black tea in bags, and it has a fresh, clean flavor. A brick of tea is very dense and will last a very long time. One section is at least equal to a box of tea bags, so it is a good value if you don't mind the little extra work to brew your tea.Break the brick into blocks along the serations and from one block scrape off the amount of tea desired for brewing with a cheese grater or a sharp knife and put it in a cup or mug. Pour fully boiling water over it (make that tea pot whistle!) and allow a few minutes to brew. Some tea leaves will float initially but will sink to the bottom if the water is hot enough, especially once it is sweetened with sugar or honey. Happy tea time!
Dried Ziziphus Jujuba (Jujube) Red Dates From Xihé
It's a good product, overall. I use it to make soup with longan, white fungus, and walnuts a traditional Chinese remedy to improve my health. But only later I realized that there was instructions at the back of the bag saying that the dates have to be washed before cooking! Well, anyway.... I 'll just be careful from now on. It's a good product for cooking, but if you want something good for a snack too, this is probably not the best choice.
They arrived quickly enough, in 5 days or so. The brand I got is "Golden Lion." 12 oz, resealable bag (nice.)
From the back of the bag (paraphrased)...
User Warnings:
1.Raw foodsPlease cook before serving.
2.Do not eat as a snack! Proper handling instructions:
.1.Wash dates with regular tap water for at least 5 minutes.
.2.Place cleaned dates in a pot of boiling water and cook for 15 minutes or until soft.
.3.After dates are cooked, throw in your favorite meats and/or vegetables and let simmer for 35-40 minutes.
Well, great. I didn't want to do all of that, I just wanted to try the things! So I washed them in tap water and tried one. They're sort of like a combination between a raisin and a date, with a taste of spiced apple thrown in. Size-wise they're sort of between a date and a raisin too, with dark red skin and light brown flesh. The pits aren't as big as I expected, being smaller than most olive pits. My girlfriend got a pointy pit and poked her tongue though, so be careful of that.
I was worried they wouldn't taste good, or the pits would be really big and there would be no flesh on them. But they actually taste pretty damn good to me, if a little unusual for American food. Especially considering they're apparently not for snacking. And they have a pretty good pit-to-meat ratio. No bugs, no black spots.
They do have teeny tiny stems, though. I just pluck them off before eating.
I bet they'd be even better in soup.
Oh, and nowhere on the bag does it mention anything about being organic. But I was prepared for that, after reading the other reviews and the disclaimer.
So in all, if you've never tried jujubes and you just want a taste, I'd say go for it. If you want to cook with jujubes, definitely go for it. But if you seriously want an organic snack, I'd look somewhere else.
Now if I can just talk my roommates into letting me plant those trees...

The product looks very nice. Haven't cook yet, but seems like good products to cook as soup or other things.Read Best Reviews of Dried Ziziphus Jujuba (Jujube) Red Dates From Xihé Here
The jujube sent to me was not in the same package as seen on the item's page, which belongs to another brand "Changsi(in Chinese:长思大红枣)". The jujubes are in good conditions and their taste is not bad. Pits are a bit larger than I thought, compared with most jujubes in China.Want Dried Ziziphus Jujuba (Jujube) Red Dates From Xihé Discount?
I bought these to see if my family likes them. We are planning on buying jujube trees this winter. I wanted to buy good quality fruit as well as organic etc.. since this is the only type of food we buy. Description said these are organic and raw (dried at low temps etc..). It was not organic and not raw, nowhere on the package there was even a hint of it being organic or raw, so it was just a dried fruit from china with who knows what added! In fact it said it wasn't raw "washed and sterilized" (it was worded a bit differently: grammatically incorrect, but I don't remember exactly how... something like washed and sterilization....). Taste was ok. I tried a couple. The rest ended up in a trash. If you just want jujube fruit, it was ok. If you want organic jujube, look elsewhere.
Colavita Champagne Wine Vinegar, 17 oz
This is the best Champagne vinegar I have found. Most are so intensely sour, but this has a nice flavor. Just add a package of Stevia Sweetener, and the juice of an orange, and have a lovely fat free salad dressing.
Many thanks, I could not find in stores around me at all...

My mothers country was dissolved during World War II and the land given to Czechoslovakia. A U.S. citizen since the 1950's; at age 85, she has told us many stories about her former country and the amazing times she has lived through. She loved the gift basket from iGourmet.com as it contained many things that reminded her of her former homeland. Great gift and quick delivery! Thank you!

I bought this gift for a couple from Germany that now live in Alaska. They raved about having a taste of real German fare at Christmas time. I was so happy to hear that they not only recognized the contents as authentic German fare but loved the contents. Glad I sent it.Read Best Reviews of German Classic Gift Basket (7.7 pound) Here
