Review of Green Teas Sampler, 6 tins

Although the teas in the sampler were adequate, the tiny tea tins arrived damaged. Lids were askew and some tea was spilled inside the enclosing box.

That said, this product is a good gift for a tea novice.

Product Description
Similar to wine, tea is affected greatly by the climate in which it grows. Differences in soil and weather conditions produce a rich mosaic of tea's many natural flavors. If you have yet to discover the superior flavor of gourmet tea, this is a wonderful introduction to its many green varieties.

Review of Set of Fondue Cheeses (2.5 pound) by igourmet.com

If you've never had real Swiss fondue, you're really missing something special.My only regret is that I live in an area that usually doesn't get cold enough to really enjoy fondue to its fullest.To compensate (and because we love winter), my wife and I often go to the mountains where it does snow and when we do, one of the first things we enjoy is Swiss fondue.

I've found that the cheeses in this assortment make a wonderful and very authentic Swiss fondue.Just be sure to have a loaf of crusty French bread handy as well as white wine and kirsch.And don't skimp on the kirsch; it really makes the fondue special.

My family and I have found that fondue is best served the traditional Swiss way...as a main course.It's just too filling for an appetizer and just so good you want to eat your fill!There's nothing quite as relaxing as a good fondue on a cold winter's night.This cheese assortment is the first really authentic fondue assortment I've found since my days of backpacking and hitchhiking around Europe.

I really can't praise this cheese assortment highly enough.You really have to make a fondue yourself and taste how good it is to believe it.Try it!Please!Once you do, you'll become an addict!

Product Description
Fondue is a traditional Alpine specialty, blending the distinct flavors of three classic melting cheeses: Emmentaler, Gruyere, and Appenzeller.Careful amounts of white wine, Kirsch brandy and special spices are then added to create a delicious hot meal. With its bold flavor and creamy texture, fondue is perfect for a main meal or as an appetizer, and is always a hit when the weather turns cold. This set of gourmet cheeses includes the correct ratios to make a classic cheese fondue (see recipe).

Review of Happy Gingerbread Man & Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Gift Basket; Value Priced!

I'm a big fan of the Aloha Island Gold Kona so I decided I should try the Diamond & Platinum this time.. so glad I did. The Diamond is a coffee unlike any I have ever had before. The flavor profile is earthy, woodsy and smoky, very complex and dense and rich while being extremely smooth and without any bitterness to it at all. The ulitmate for a true coffee lover. The platinum is wonderful too... It's a more delicate coffee but still with the rich smoothness that I have come to expect from this producer. I must try their espresso next....The presentation of the Diamond in the black silk bag is extraordinary as well. I have sent these to my clients for the holidays this year.

Product Description

Review of Kusmi Prince Vladimir Tea (4.4oz.)

Sing in me oh muse on this snow day, and let me proclaim the many virtues of this fine tea. The scent and flavor of this tea are as close to my conception of ambrosia as anything else that has yet crossed my palate. It is full without being overbearing, it is seasoned without being overpowering. It's great with anything from English breakfast fare to hardy curry.
Since conception, I have been in love with tea, but "the Prince" was my first fine tea. I have still not recovered from the episode in which my father-in-law-to-be proved to me that bag tea was a crime against humanity. And yet despite amorous flirtations with rare white teas and other wondrous Indian and Chinese estate varieties with unpronounceable names, it's still my favourite.
Never mind the tea purist snobs who rank on it because it's flavored with spice. Would they send back a fine filet because the chef elected to use some pepper or shallots? Ignore the herbal tea-totalers who regard caffeine as sinful. They probably want to outlaw yoga on Sunday too.
Of the five or so Kousmichoff varieties I've had, this one is the clear winner. I've gotten my best results using HOT water steeping for five to six minutes. The stuff is potent enough that you can get, gasp, a reasonably tannin-free second infusion.
My only reservation is this; once you've entered the universe of fine tea, you can never be satisfied drinking Lipton, Salada, Twinings or Tetley again. In guise of gifts, I have managed to get many of my gastronome friends and relations addicted so that I may sup of it when I visit. Isn't it a delicious irony that perhaps the greatest bourgeoisie decadence of the Romanoff dynasty istoday preserved by our friends in socialist France? Viva la Revolution!

Review of Wild Boar Tenderloin -

I have not tried this yet, but items in the past have been very good. Fast shipment and quality products. Thank you.

Product Description
Russian Boars were originally released in 1940s and 1950s in the Texas Hill County. Trapped alive and processed under USDA inspection, these boars are wild animals, which explains weight variations. Wild boars are very lean and full flavored, and are nothing to do with domestic pigs. Tenders are great when quickly sautéed or grilled over high heat. Net Weight: 2 lbs.

Review of Kusmi Kashmir Tchai (4.4oz.)

Outside of Indian restaurants, I've had very poor experiences with chai tea. The packaged stuff just never tastes very good, and tends to be very heavy on the cinnamon, sometimes overwhelming the black tea. (And don't get me started on that powdered junk that some cafes pass off as chai!) Kusmi's Tchai is definately not a one note blend. Instead of cinnamon, the dominate flavors are cardamom and ginger, but you can still taste the black tea. Wonderful with milk and a little sugar, or all by itself.

Product Description

Founded in 1867 in Saint-Petersburg, Kusmi Teas are faithful to the spirit of the firm P.M Kousmichoff, supplier of the tsars of ancient Russia. In 1917 when the Revolution started in Russia, anticipating a disaster, the eldest Kusmichoff son transferred a part of his fortune to the London office and then created the Kusmi Tea company in France, based in Paris at 75 avenue Niel, where the company still has its workshop and boutique.

Review of D'Artagnan Duck Fat - 10 pack

Intrigued by the manufacturer's claim, I ordered several tubs.I now use duck fat in all my salad dressings, much to the delight of unsuspecting dinner guests.Using duck fat also makes sense from an ethical point of view.Why kill a bunch of little olives when you can kill one big fat duck?

Product Description
Duck fat from D'Artagnan is better than butter! Nutritionally similar to olive oil; low in saturated fat, with a good combination of poly and monosaturated fats. Net Weight for one tub: 7 oz.

In a sweet dressing for a salad this absolutely makes it fantastic!I have made the exact same dressing with and without a few tablespoons of blood orange olive oil and when I add the blood orange olive oil I ALWAYS get compliments on the salad and asked, "what did you put in the dressing?"

I almost don't want to tell but reluctantly I do.

Also fantastic as a dipping sauce with a bit of balsamic vinegar!

Review of Elderberry Jelly: 3 jars Mrs Millers Homemade

Mrs. Miller uses cane sugar in the jelly. It makes a world of difference in both taste and consistency.

Review of MCC GRILLMATE MONTREAL STEAK

Well..this is the third time I've tried to review this, so lets cross some fingers...and actually 'copy' this before I hit send this time..heh.

I've been using this product for probably a good 8 years now. Slowly improving on my marinade for my steaks as I get older. My steaks have gone from "hey I'm young lets throw all kinds of stuff and also beer on it" to "people roll their eyes back in ecstasy when they eat my steaks"...with some help from this seasoning (as well as some other ingredients).

I've used this on burgers, and even in my spaghetti sometimes. All in all, it's just a great blend of spices to quickly throw in some marinade or just throw on the meat while it's being cooked.

I never thought I would actually review this, but right now I'm in Iraq, and we grill up some steaks once a week. The BX/PX sells frozen steaks and charcoal and we found an old barrel grill out back our work compound. We use sauces from the chow hall for seasoning. But I was fiending for more of a little kick, so I thought..hmmm..maybe Amazon has some McCormicks. Well what do you know...they do. You gotta love Amazon sometimes..lol. So I ordered it and it got here to Iraq in a week. Used it once already (as well as about 6 other people) for steaks AND burgers.

Yummmmmmmmmy.

Review of Aidells Habanero & Green Chile Sausage, 13 ounces

I have been serving these Aidell's habanero and green chile sausages to guests over several months both, as an appetizer (cut into pieces) or whole (in hot dog buns) - without exception, every guest has raved about the taste and the texture. I get the best results if these sausages are grilled on a BBQ and not pan fried....unfortunately, the double packs that used to be carried by Costco's and Sam's Club are no longer available...would like to see them brought back SOON!!!!

Product Description
One of my favorite pastimes as a food-crazed kid in Southern California was heading to Latino restaurants and taco stands every chance I got. I would eat tacos and burritos filled with spicy meats blended with fiery chiles. My version of Mexicos prized sausage has a lot less fat and a lot more flavor than those I ate as a kid. I use lean and flavorful turkey and chicken with a light touch of wood smoke and a spicy mixture of fire roasted mild green chiles and hot Habaneros. My sausage wont burn out your taste buds, but itll definitely get your attention

Review of Colored Minute Pearls

After making my own bubble tea for the first time with the regular 30mins-1hr boba, I decided to try the minute pearls.I was quite skeptical about whether the "minute" pearls could be even close to being thoroughly cooked in anything under less than an hour b/c the regular bubbles took that long and there was still raw, dry starch in the center, which was quite annoying even after following the direction strictly.But with the minute pearls, I pured them into hot boiling water and by the time I turned around they were completely cooked to the center and chewy.I was ecstatic cos it was just like the kind in my local boba tea shop.Now i can save my money and make all kinds of tea at home for myself, my husband, friends, family!

Review of Balsamic vinegar Nr 10 "Riserva", 8.5 fl oz

This is an outstanding balsamic vinegar that surpasses most balsamic vinegars aged 15 and 20 years. The flavor is complex, the vinegar is "thick" and just terrific. (But, not cheap.)

Product Description
The Nr 10 "Riserva" is the result of centuries of tradition of balsamic vinager. Throughout time, qualities of the product have been developed, that are amazing but still produced in the old way of aging grape must from the Trebbiano grapes, in wooden barrels. The Nr 10 balsamic is awarded & highly appreciated for its superior quality. It features dense consistency, explosive, rich, aromatic and sweet flavor with just the right amount of acidity. Therefore it is our best seller and one of the most appreciated high quality Balsamic Vinegars of Modena ever, on the market!

Review of Godiva Dark Chocolate

Godiva Dark Chocolatethe chocolate arrives fast enough, regretably this is the only thing good about this purchase.

condition is bad.pieces are smallish and many look chipped and rough, probably due to the transportation process.some are wrapped in cheap looking red and green foils.they also taste a bit stale.i don't know how long they have stayed in the warehouse.

taste is disappointing.predominate taste is sugar--with a gritty texture, not the smooth, rich taste expected of a luxury chocolate.

two thumbs down.not worth the money at all.

Review of Izze Sparkling Blackberry 4 pk (4-12ounce) Bottles

This is the second flavor from Izze I have tried.The first was the Clementine.Tasty and not syrupy I really enjoyed the flavor.I tried the Blackberry.Unlike the Clementine flavor the name of the drink also makes up one of the juices used to make the beverage, blackberry.Like the Clementine a cocktail of juices from concentrate are added like Apple Juice and Lemon Juice to give a balanced flavor.

This is not a drink to hydrate in quantity so much as a tasty pick me up.The drink does not have caffeine or added sugars so I don't feel bad about drinking it.It isn't overly sweet so it adds a bit of energy rather then making me tired.

90 calories for just over 8 ounces is starting to get up there for me.That is enough calories that I at least have to think about when I drink the beverage.A great drink, a good company and thumbs up in my book.The only issue I had is the calories.

Product Description
Izze Sparkling Blackberry 4 pack of 12 ounce bottles. Nice crisp flavor, naturally sweet with no added sugar, no caffeine or anything artificial. Simply fruit juice with sparkling water.

Review of De Cecco Ziti Zita Cut 118

After years and years of trying dry pasta, as far as I'm concerned, any DeCecco product is simply the very best!I am particularly fond of Ziti #118.

Plus, years ago, I got a glimpse of Sophia Loren in her kitchen and lo and behold, there was a box of DeCecco pasta!What better reference could you possibly get?

Review of Grecian Imports Brand - Jordan Almonds - Super Fine (Best Grade) - Pink - Polished (shiny) 1 pound

The Jordan Almonds we purchased from Grecian Imports were used as favors for our daugther's wedding.Not only did we rave about them, our guests did too.They were not your usual Jordan Almonds that can sometimes break a tooth.These are MOSTLY ALMOND with a THIN sugar coating.DELICIOUS!Shipping was quick and they were well packed (didn't arrive broken).Thank you.

Product Description
Jordan Almonds, or as Greeks call them, Koufeta, are great for making your own party favors or for snacking. At Grecian Imports, we pride ourselves on manufacturing the best and freshest Jordan Almonds available anywhere, Grecian Imports Brand, and we sell them at very competetive prices. What makes our Jordan Almonds better? Honesty about what you are getting. Take a look at the alternate image above. Most vendors who sell Jordan Almonds (online or in stores) never disclose to their customers what grade of Jordan Almonds they are purchasing. Most of them sell low grade almonds (some lower grade than what we show here) and are seemingly an extrememly good value. However, beware, there is never a substitute for quality, especially when you plan on eating the Jordan Almonds you purchase. Since we have been selling Jordan Almonds for almost 36 years now and sell large quantities, our almonds are always fresh, and never sit on our shelves for more than a couple months. As you can see from the cross section photos above, there is a huge difference. Our Super Fine Jordan Almonds feature a flatter, more almond-shaped appearance, since the majority of each candy is a top quality almond with very little candy coating. Lower grade Jordan Almonds have a more rounded shape, smaller low grade almonds, and much more candy coating. Ironically, the higher quality almonds are not only better for eating, they also yield a higher count per pound than the lower grades since almonds weigh less than candy (yields about 130 pieces per pound). We have many customers who buy our super fine Jordan Almonds just for snacking, because they are just that good.
