Is it? Not really. But it’s pretty darn close, and about as good as you’re going to find in a supermarket freezer.

Moser Roth Chili Chocolate – ALDI – Food Review
03/20/2015This one doesn’t work for me. The dark chocolate is excellent and totally hides the chili until about a minute later when the heat from the chili starts to warm the throat building up over the next two or three minutes to a low burn and mild chili taste. My preference would’ve been that the chocolate taste linger. While chocolate and chilies may work in a mole sauce, it’s not a combination that works for me in this chocolate bar.

Crofton Kitchen Scale – ALDI – Food Review
01/24/2015Clearance is my favorite word. I had never intended to review this purchase. I had little actual intention of ever buying one. But clearance, that old Siren, had me hooked, set and reeled in.

U.S.A. GMO Issues – December, 2014 – One Grocer’s Thoughts
12/12/2014Several readers have posted comments inquiring about the GMO status of various products reviewed on this blog. A recent comment on our favorite tortilla chip prompted me to ask the grocer via email what the GMO content was for the tortilla chips specifically and their GMO policy in general. The reply appeared well thought out and further briefly explained specific U.S.A. (United States of America) regulations (and non-regulations) which affect the food grown and consumed in the U.S.A. As the grocer points out below, these regulations affect many other retail grocers in the same way.
So hopefully without me getting in the middle of the GMO debate, here is one retail grocer’s take on the status of GMO products in the U.S.A. Note also the reference to USDA National Organic Standards mentioned in the reply (linked here). Hope this helps you find the product(s) you want.

Coffee-Off – Medium Roasts – Food Review
08/29/2014
Coffee is the new wine. Actually it’s been that way for some time now. Where there used to be several national brands and a few regional brands which all delivered a pretty satisfactory cup of Joe in the morning to get the day going, there is now a bewildering array of “specialty” brands, blends and bedlam. To complement this there is also a bewildering lexicon of creative befuddlement which ultimately takes your mind off the fact that you may actually be drinking a fairly bad cup of coffee.
