BW Manilowe November 19, 2015 Share November 19, 2015 Today at a staff meeting we had pizza and snacks. Our office assistant brought some Cheetos Sweetos. They look like little Fun-yuns, but have a buttery, cinnamony flavor. I found them to be very addictive and plan to buy some soon. Apparently, they came out earlier in the year on a limited basis and are now back on a limited basis. Delish! Sweetos are back??!! Thank you for posting this! I posted about them when they were out originally; that's probably way upthread now. I loved those things like crazy. My Mom just went to the store yesterday, but I'll have to have her start looking for them again next time she goes. Hope she finds them soon; some things sometimes take awhile to get to our stores. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19119-what-new-foods-have-you-tried-like-it-hate-it-share-here/page/4/#findComment-1726849
annzeepark914 November 20, 2015 Share November 20, 2015 I've seen recipes for Romesco sauce over the years and thought it sounded odd (due to the ingredients). Tried it at Jaleo's, Chef Jose Andres' restaurant in downtown DC, and it is wonderful. I need to make this! Wow--those figs stuffed with goat cheese, wrapped in prosciutto and grilled sound wonderful. I really like Joanne Weir (her Fried Oyster & Caesar Salad combo is terrific).

BW Manilowe December 22, 2015 Share December 22, 2015 Not for nothing, but the limited edition Wavy Lays chocolate covered (Milk or Dark) potato chips--which I think were originally out at the same time as the Cheetos Sweetos originally were--are also back. My Mom found those but hasn't found the Sweetos yet, darn it (insert sad face here). The only problems I have with the chocolate covered Wavy Lays are, the chocolate never firms up enough NOT to melt off on your fingers & the bags are WAY smaller than a regular-sized chip bag. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19119-what-new-foods-have-you-tried-like-it-hate-it-share-here/page/4/#findComment-1821384
mansonlamps December 23, 2015 Share December 23, 2015 I was going to start a new topic, but I guess this fits the bill. I'm talking about independent label foods for want of a better term. I've recently found a couple of good ones that I thought I'd share. Tate Bakeshop out of Southampton, NY makes the best store bought cookies I've ever tasted. They are thin and crispy with enough chocolate chips but not so many that it's not like eating candy instead of cookies. You can really taste the butter and vanilla, mmmm. They are a little pricey which helps with me wanting to eat the whole bag as soon as I open them. Then there are Unique brand pretzel splits out of Reading, PA. These are really crunchy and really good. They even have an extra salty flavor for those who like a little extra, I know I do when I eat pretzels with dip. They sell all kinds of pretzels and flavors, but I like the crunchy splits best. Love to hear about other specialty foods you can recommend.

stillshimpy March 10, 2016 Share March 10, 2016 I tried the Vegan Ben and Jerry's flavors. At least three of them :-) PB and Cookies, Coffee caramel crunch and Chocolate Brownie. Listed in order of awesomeness. The PB and Cookies is as good as any actual ice cream. I'm not a Vegan, although I skew more and more away from dairy and I live within walking distance of a frozen custard place, so I'm telling you: PB and Cookies is fabulous. Very slight, odd mouth feel after but I think that's from the oreo cookies in it...that cream filling....because none of the other flavors have it. But other than that? Oh my God, so good. I thought the exact same thing about the Coffee caramel crunch. I didn't actually care as much for the chocolate brownie. That one you can actually tell that it's not an ice cream. It's not bad, it's just not interchangeable with ice cream, which the other two I tried were. I think it's because it is a chocolate base and so if you're used to chocolate ice cream, the finish on it feels ever-so-slightly watery. But what a great line. I'm so glad I tried them.

The jerkey is delicious. I have eaten it, but never cooked it either. I have learned that you would treat it as you do most game and similar to beef. What cut is it? If it's a steak or flank etc., you treat it as you would beef except you cook it in shorter time. You can roast and marinate it as well. Venison is leaner and as with all game, err on the side of cooking it more rare or medium-rare. If you think it's about to be done, it's probably done.

stillshimpy March 10, 2016 Share March 10, 2016 There's actually a way to tenderize lower fat meats also, America's Test Kitchen did a whole segment on it, complete with the chemical breakdown of why it works. Basically involved a salt rub, then wrapped in plastic wrap for a minimum of 24 hours and there's this who thing with water diffusion that I won't get into. But if people keep giving you deer meat, that might be something to look into also, as a way to treat a venison roast. I don't eat meat any longer, but I do know that if you look up ways to cook skirt steak, that tends to translate to venison well apparently. That's not my personal experience, by the way, I just used to know a guy who was Full Metal Bow Hunter and knew how to cook just about everything from Mountain Goat to Moose and every other critter he could bag. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19119-what-new-foods-have-you-tried-like-it-hate-it-share-here/page/4/#findComment-2040132

WendyCR72 April 7, 2016 Author Share April 7, 2016 Speaking of good stuff in a jar...not new, but has anyone ever tried Reese's Spread? OMG. Tastes EXACTLY like Reese's peanut butter cups in a jar. Except for no annoying wrappers. It takes a LOT of willpower to not just sit there with a spoon and devour the whole thing at once. I tried the Hershey's version but was not as impressed. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19119-what-new-foods-have-you-tried-like-it-hate-it-share-here/page/4/#findComment-2123556

Except for no annoying wrappers. You are making it very hard for me to stick to my diet. That sounds heavenly! My 'new foods' (kind of) to try tonight are fresh beets. I bought a bunch at the store the other day and just got around to cleaning and cooking them. I'm using Ina Garten's recipe for roasted beets. It won't make a big panful (only three beets in the bunch), but I'm hoping I'll like them. Canned beets are about the only canned veggie I buy (which is why I call this 'new food' in quotes--I've had canned, just not fresh). I'll report back. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19119-what-new-foods-have-you-tried-like-it-hate-it-share-here/page/4/#findComment-2126828
Quof April 7, 2016 Share April 7, 2016 Ina's roasted beets are the bomb. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19119-what-new-foods-have-you-tried-like-it-hate-it-share-here/page/4/#findComment-2126848
BooksRule April 8, 2016 Share April 8, 2016 The roasted beets were pretty good. The next time I make them, I'll mix them in with some other root veggies, such as potatoes and carrots (and maybe toss in some cauliflower).

Quof April 8, 2016 Share April 8, 2016 Next time, make Ina's beets with orange vinaigrette. The recipe calls for canned, but you should cook fresh beets as in the roasted beet recipe. And add feta or goat's cheese. Trust me. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19119-what-new-foods-have-you-tried-like-it-hate-it-share-here/page/4/#findComment-2128177
