Daniele Veneto Salame
March 18, 2016
Walmart of all places, that’s where I found this pretty good salami.
The texture is sort of chewy/rubbery and a little softer than one might expect from a salami like this. The taste has a fair amount of garlic flavor (a good thing in my book) and is otherwise generally good. There’s a little bit of another flavor in there which adds almost a little sweetness (probably the dextrose listed on the label). There is no skin/casing on the salami once freed from its heavy plastic wrapping.
Overall this is a pretty good Italian salami that will satisfy a sudden urge for this type of salami, but not as good as the Volpi salami found at Trader Joe’s and other outlets.
Calories 90/oz (28g), Price $3.98 – 7 oz (198g)

This is a good olive oil. However the recently reviewed ALDI Carlini Extra Virgin Olive Oil is just as good or better for less money.
Trader Joe’s California Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil is not as buttery as either the Carlini Extra Virgin Olive Oil from ALDI or my favorite olive oil, Trader Joe’s Spanish Extra Virgin (also less pricey per ml). There’s not much of an olive taste to this oil as compared with the other two oils. The color and viscosity are about the same as the TJ Spanish oil.
The thing that distinguishes this oil from the other two is some bitterness on the tongue after a few seconds. Neither of the other two oils has that characteristic.

ALDI – Carlini
EVOO
This is surprisingly one of the best olive oils I’ve tried. It’s about the equal of my favorite, Trader Joe’s Spanish extra virgin olive oil.

Dark Chocolate Chunk
and Almond Cookies
Trader Joe’s
If you don’t like sweets, you may like these. Or, if you want to curtail your intake of sweets for whatever reason, these may be a blessing. That’s not to say these are so bad you wouldn’t eat them. They’re actually good in their own way.

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

Trader Joe’s
Think of these as hot, hot pockets – but with a twist. The first hot meaning spicy. The second hot meaning, well, hot – as in more than warm.
