Food & Wine Magazine Champagne Raspberry Honey Mustard, 10-Ounce Jars (Pack of 6)

Food & Wine Magazine Champagne Raspberry Honey Mustard, 10-Ounce JarsThis product represents itself as a RASPBERRY honey mustard. Since raspberry is the first word in the label, one expects raspberries to be a major ingredient. In fact it only contains raspberry flavor as a minor ingredient, The result is a rather mundane honey mustard with little hint of even raspberry flavor. I was woefully disappointed in this product. Buyer beware!

I first tried this product on a wrap sandwich at a casino Pendleton Ore. Itaked to the man behind the counter and he told me to go on line to find it. Amazon.com was the answer to the search. We enjoy this mustard on so many things. It is just YUMMY!!!!

J&D Mayonnaise

J&D Baconnaise Regular Mayonnaise, Bacon, 15 OunceIt's interesting to read the negative comments. We are a specialty food webzine, and taste and review thousands of products a year. We're pretty picky: We reject more than we accept to write about. We liked Baconaise so much that it was a Top Pick Of The Week, and we buy it by the case to bring as a small gift whenever we need one.

Understandably, Baconaise doesn't taste like fresh-cooked bacon: It's a kosher-certified seasoning, with smoky flavors that resemble bacon. When you add it to a sandwich or a burger, though, the bacon flavor is there. We enjoy mock BLTs with it, and make a "BLT" hors d'oeuvre with a toast point, Baconaise, arugula or watercress and half a cherry tomato.

Give it a shot! I'm not sure if Amazon allows links in these reviews, but here's our write-up of Baconaise:

Bought this at Kroger for $3.64. $11 from this vendor? WOW.

When I got it home, I was anxious to try it. I opened up the jar and ate a big spoonful. Didn't know my face could pucker up that much. This stuff is super salty. On a sandwich, the saltiness gets toned down but I can only tolerate it in moderation. I had to scrape a lot of it off the tomato sandwich. Its better if mixed with regular mayo.

About 20 minutes after eating this, my lips got numb from all the salt. Kinda like theater popcorn lip numbness.

I like the idea of bacon mayo but I think I will try another product or making my own.

Tried this in cole slaw and it was pretty good. Every comment about the cole slaw was positive and the huge bowl went quickly.

My opinion of the product has improved but the saltiness is still an issue. We cooked a big batch of french fries and used this as one of the dipping sauces. The salted fries along with the Baconnaise was too salty for 3 out of 4 people.

Still looking for an alternative with less salt.

Have you ever tried something and at first disliked it but then grew to really like it? That is me with this product. I really like it now. We have used it in everything from potato salad, cole slaw, deviled eggs, pasta salad, homemade salad dressing, a coating for chicken before breading then frying, etc....and it adds a new twist that most everyone seems to like.

I first heard of this product while reading an argument over Jack-in-the-Box's new bacon milkshakes.

I went to the manufacturer's website to do a little comparison shopping, and they had a tool for searching local stores to see who carries their products. After finding one, I paid a visit and came home with one jar of regular, and one of light.

The consistency is of a thick spread, not quite as gelatinous as mayo, and the consistency feels appropriate to the flavor when you eat it. The sauce has very small bits of bacon or bacon-like substance in it. It is not sweet, not particularly salty (5% RDA for one tablespoon), and has a light flavor of smoked bacon. It's pretty high in saturated fat (14% RDA for one tablespoon), but, compared to actually eating bacon, that's pretty good.

My first experiment was to try a fried egg sandwich: two slices of whole wheat, egg, Baconnaise. The egg and bread overpowered the sauce. I'll try a Baconnaise-lettuce-tomato sandwich next and post my results, but I suspect this stuff will do best as a dip for crackers or a veggie tray. If you could find a mild-tasting bread, it might also work in place of butter on toast for someone who can't eat bacon but who wants the taste.

Experiment 2: substituted Baconnaise for mayo when making tuna salad (plain, just tuna + sauce). This made an EXCELLENT tuna, lettuce & tomato sandwich.

Verdict so far: it tastes pretty good, but the only bacon in the world is... bacon!

I THOUGHT this would be really good, but it ended up being really, REALLY disgusting. The only thing remotely "bacon-y" about it was the smell. Other than that, it tasted nasty, and was somewhat on the oily side, even after stirring it. Definitely not worth the price...

B.L.T.s Bacon-Lettuce and Tomato sandwiches are good with mayonnaise. Baconnaise takes it to an all new level. This product makes everything you put it on taste better with it's yummy bacon flavor.

'Dark Chocolate' Skull

'Dark Chocolate' SkullSo, I'm a head guy. I love heads. It's tough, though, being a head guy. When I ride the subway, I'm constantly trying to control the urge to reach out and massage the head of the person next to me. I've done it once or twice. It doesn't go over well, even when a friendly smile or wink is employed. I've lost several partners after waking them up by stuffing their noggins in my armpit, say. In high school I was kicked of the wrestling team not because of my somewhat unusual technique, but for the sounds I made when executing it. I've got loads of synthetic skulls around the apartment, some real ones, lots of manikin heads (surprisingly easy to pilfer from beauty shop display windows). The thing is, I never had an urge to actually eat a head... until I ate one. Look, this chocolate skull is delicious. It is really good. But there are problems. When you hold it in your hands (while performing ceremonies, fondling it or preparing to annihilate it) it feels like a real, friggin' skull... at first. But then, unlike real human skulls, it starts to melt. You have to put your hands in a bag of ice for like 5 minutes if you want to do anything fun with the thing before you eat it. But still, you get to eat a skull, which despite the fact that the consistency is all wrong, and there's no edible brain inside, is still pretty rad. But there's the other problem: I never wanted to eat a head until I did. Now riding the subway is that much more of a trial. Three stars. Oh, and it's 550 bucks, so I'm broke now. Really broke. I've eaten, like, six of these. So two stars.

Spiced Mustard Rub "Organic"

Spiced Mustard Rub 'Organic'I am not a picky eater. I love to try different foods, and enjoy nearly all ethnic foods. That said, this rub is awful. It is hard to describe a flavor in words, but the closest I can come are bitter, and rancid. It is not merely a taste we did not like, it is so bad it is almost impossible to eat. Save your money, and do not buy this like I did.

Wine Country Chef Spiced Mustard Rub:

This one was a real winner in more ways than one. Gretchen sort of ruled this one out from the beginning, almost didn't want to try it. But after I bit into that first bite of chicken breast, she gave it a try. Wow! Again, subtle flavors all around, nothing was overpowering. There was a bite of spice in it, and a great flavor of mustard that really made this something unique. Trying this on some grilled salmon is going to be a must in the very near future. Not sure what it is, but all of the organic spices we have tried are just perfect, as they do not overtake the meat! Organic Blend of Herbs and Spices to Warm Up Your Recipes! Rub it on lamb, spare ribs, chicken, and salmon. Add to dressings, stews, and soups.
