Nothing Special I expected better from a premium Maine chowder. This is no better than, say, Snow's, which you can get for less than half the price. Not bad, but not worth the money.

no more $3 cups way in town! It's easy to make (recommended measures are available online, and you can go a little more milk or powder if you want) and the package makes ALOT. I like not having a 45 minute drive to get my favorite drink.

Cheesecake Paradise The taste was sensational and well liked by my guests. It tastes just like the Frango Mint Chocolates you would purchase at Marshal Fields. The price seems a little high.

Not Up to Standards of Our Five-Star Restaurant As Executive Chef at the five-star Le Lapin in New Orleans, I am constantly on the lookout for high quality ingredients. We have had live rabbits airlifted to us from France since opening our doors in 1974. While butchering the animals ourselves is tiresome and adds to the cost of our most popular rabbit dishes, we have always considered this a small price to pay for the satisfaction of our customers. When I first saw that Fresh Whole Rabbits were available for sale on Amazon, I thought, "What the heck ... we won't know if we don't try it!" so I ordered a couple dozen; if we can reduce food costs in this bad economy, everybody wins!Unfortunately, my experience was not a good one. First of all, shipping took 11 days. I called the 800 number several times while waiting for my rabbits and was disappointed to find that the CSRs were all in India! What do Indians know about meat? As far as I could piece together over the course of 14 frustrating calls was that Cloverdale was in the process of switching suppliers and that the rabbits were now being sourced from China! Warning bells sounded in my head. When my Chinese rabbits finally arrived, the first thing I noticed upon opening the box was a strong chemical smell. One of my busboys thought it smelled like antifreeze and my head waiter suggested formaldehyde. I cooked one up and couldn't bring myself to take a bite; no one in the kitchen would either. My dog wasn't even interested! I considered shipping the whole mess back to Cloverdale, but the prospect of getting a full refund seemed remote; and the idea of writing off a thousand dollars worth of meat goes against my instincts. What to do, what to do?I'm not proud of what I did, but I have a business to run! It is well known in the New Orleans restaurant scene that tourists will eat anything if it sounds "authentic" or exotic enough, so I pulled an all-nighter experimenting with various ingredients until I developed a dish I call "Thunderin' Thumper." It's Blackened Bunny topped with a Habenero/Horseradish Remoulade. When I saw a tour bus from Cincinnati pulling into the parking lot the next day, I quickly took a Xanax, added "Thunderin' Thumper" to our list of daily specials and instructed the wait staff to talk it up. Needless to say, it was a hit. A single tour bus wiped out our entire shipment of Amazon rabbits! But then disaster struck: a few customers developed nose bleeds; others began to experience intense itching all over their bodies; still others raced for the restrooms. When some complained, I told them it was probably because they had never eaten truly high-quality horseradish before and gave them all complimentary Bananas Foster. That seemed to do the trick. (My lawyer has no idea I am writing this!) I also comp'd them two bottles of my best cognac, personally escorted them out to the bus and recommended the best swamp tour in the area.In the final analysis, I cannot recommend the Fresh Whole Rabbits from Amazon. Not only did they smell funny, the rabbits were misshapen and the meat was stringy. If you're in the market for fresh pre-butchered rabbits, I would recommend a little operation called "Conejos Para Ir" in Laredo, Texas. Shipping is fast and the meat has a mellow, chickeny flavor! But for us, butchering our own French rabbits is the preferred way to go. Also, we have recently begun experimenting with a Bring-Your-Own-Bunny service: for a small fee, we will butcher your rabbit and prepare it to order in our spotless kitchen. If you're ever in New Orleans, make a reservation and try us out. Laissez les bon temps rouler!BTW- Thunderin' Thumper is still on the menu. It's authentic!

Great Value and Great Taste! The bag was much larger than I anticipated, still going through it. According to DR. OZ, pepitos or pumpkin seeds are a great source of fiber and a good way to loose weight. I mix these into salads, into trail mix, or as just a quick snack at my desk. The seeds are NOT salted, which is great because I like to monitor salt on my food anyway - this way you are not left with overly salty (and unhealthy) snacks. Great Value and Great Taste!

Flattened Smarte Carb bars I bought these because I had tried them before and liked them. The bars in this batch of two boxes arrived at about half the height of the first batch. Note this was the bars, not the boxes. It was like someone sat on the box and squished the bars flat. They are still tasty, but the squishing remove any crunchy character from the "stuff" between the chocolate and the peanut butter. Not pleasant!

Didn't care for the taste. I enjoy the Red Mill products. I tried the Honey Almond granola for the first time. It tasted as though it was old. I sampled all four bags and the taste was consistent. It's hard to review a product you didn't care for because the next person may have a different opinion. I must say I didn't care for it and pitched it.

Bread Mix We have a family in our church that are gluten intolerant and therefore can't use regular bread for Communion. This bread mix is great for this and does not make the family feel different from everyone else. The mix is super easy to fix and makes a great loaf of tasty bread. So glad we found it!

A favorite snack I ordered this in January, so chances of melting was minimal. I agree that ordering any chocolate product in the middle of summer may not be the best idea. My order was received in excellent condition and the raisins tasted as expected. Chocolate Covered Raisins are one of my "all-time" favorite snacks. I love chocolate and the raisins give me the impression I'm eating something that's not so bad for my health. It's 170 cal for 30 pieces with 6g of fat. However, I usually combine the chocolate covered raisins with mixed nuts and regular raisins. Over half the calories are from the sugars in the raisins themselves. But, when mixed with the other stuff, the number eaten is way less than 30 pcs.The packaging is nice but does make a lot of noise in the shipping box. I worry about what people handling the box might think about the contents. Overall, a delicious snack and when mixed with nuts and other dried fruit, not too detrimental to your health.

Wonderful. Easy. Tasty. Vegan. Even has a little fork. One of the best things about this product is that it does not require refrigeration. It is quite simple to prepare in a microwave and is very enjoyable. It doesn't take long at all. Just make sure not to use too much water or you'll dilute the flavor from the sauce. I don't do an exact measurement. I turn on the faucet and let a bit get on the bottom. It doesn't need a whole lot. This may require some experimentation for each person. This is my favorite boxed meal. * I put the noodles in before the water. Just let the water get around the noodles, not on them. - As for those with peanut allergies, I don't know if there are peanuts somehow in the sauce or anything, but there is a package of peanuts that comes with this that you can use or not. I prefer it without the peanuts.

Very high price, they don't return after purchase. Very disappointed. The next day after I orderd from Amazon, I found out the Choclate-milk box at Costco for $13.00. I tryed to cancel the order on spot from my cell phone, they did not allow me. Even though I called the credit card and I found that they didn't got the money yet. I am very disapointed for the $20 extra that I had to waste for 2 boxes of choclate milk. Never again ordring from Amazon.

I can't believe I spent so much money on this I buy a lot of coffee. I wouldn't consider myself a gourmet, but some members of my family are. I try different kinds of coffee, buying Illy as gifts for the kids because they love it.I've tried others that are cheaper, not as good as Illy, but certainly good.This coffee is more expensive than Illy and it is totally hum drum.We were so unimpressed that we resented having spent the money on something mediocre when we might have gotten something delicious.The one star does not mean the coffee tastes as bad as Maxwell House or Folgers, for example. But because it costs so much more than it is worth.

Don't want flavored tea I thought I was ordering Green Tea Decaf but received Green Tea Decaf with Lemongrass.

below average quality some of these tasted really nasty and some of them were stale, which could be blamed on the poor packaging (flimsy blue cover and very thin plastic cover) that did not survive shipping. but the brown ones you can see in the picture and the really thin ones (which there are a significant number of) you need to skip

ONE OF THE BEST GHOST STORIES I KNOW..... Here is a movie that is top notch in a lot of ways. It's a great family movie. Some may not agree, but I say it is. Adults will understand it more but kids will love the colorful creatures, even though several aspects of the film will fly right over their heads. Tim Burton really hit the button here on his unique style of filmaking, and really never did it better, even with the number of great films he's waxed his style all over through the years.The story starts with Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis as "The Recently Deceased." They have to learn how to be ghosts, and it's not easy. That is why there is a department dedicated to helping their cause, however, it is as backed up as an inner city welfare office. This is why sleazy swindlers such as the title character come around, dedicated to taking advantage of their delicate situation.When our ghosts discover that they have to share their small town dream home, with some living artsy-fart aristocrats, it's more then they can bare. SO, as most ghosts would do in this situation, they decide to scare the new tennants away. However, their obvious inexperience proves as a pitfall. Especially since these a*holes get a kick out of it, and start using them as party favors. Enter Michael Keaton as Beedle Geuss (He needs somebody to pronounce his name right). The couple, desperate, go against the wishes of the department and hire him, to give the new tennants a proper scare. Although they soon realize that they may have gotten in too far over their heads with this ghoul.Lydia, played by Winonna Ryder, is the disillusioned daughter of the artsys and she somehow naturally communicates with the dead, and becomes a friend to the couple. Naturally she becomes the prime target for Beetlejuice also (If I was a sleazy ghoul, I would be all over her too!) and thats when things get ugly. But don't worry too much, because in the end everyone figures out how to compromise, and dance around the house to the tune of Shake Senora. The comedic icing of the whole demented cake.This movie works just as well as a comedy, as it does a terrific ghost story. The effects are great, and a symbol to what made Tim Burton so cool early in his career (who can forget those claymation sand serpents?) The score is perfectly creepy, and this thing is just an all around great movie. Good stuff for the Halloween film fest peeps. I pull it out all the time!

Pork gelatin!!!!! I have just found out today that the gelatin in this product is coming from pork. I do not know why they would add gelatin in the first place. DHA from fish oil is fine, but the lady that answered my phone told me that all DHA Gerber baby food items have pork gelatin. Do infants need gelatin at this age?

Affordable goat milk! I love to feed my kids with goat milk. But to buy it fresh from the farm is so expensive, so this is a great substitute. I started my kids on this when I stopped nursing and they've loved it ever since. They eat it in their cereal and drink it straight from the cup. I think goat's milk is the next best thing to breast milk!

Great coffee! This coffee is enjoyable, smooth, and delicious. The packaging is simple, but the coffee speaks for itself. It is not bitter like many espresso coffees are, but rather flavorful and clean. My husband loves this coffee also. I grind what I need daily, and keep the beans whole in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. I make a pot or two of this coffee every day. The price was unbelievable. I will definitely be purchasing my whole bean espresso coffee from the Java Trading Company as long as it is available. My search for the perfect coffee bean to make the perfect cup of strong coffee is over. I have found what my taste buds have been looking for all of these years.

helps to alleviate some of the symptoms I've been having PMS my entire life. I was even prescribed a mild antidepressant for it which I refused to take. Instead, I decided to fight it naturally and this tea really helps to alleviate some of the symptoms like bloating. So, during PMS I replace all my liquids with this tea - hot or iced. It works well for me.

Nowhere as good as Starbucks Sumatra. Just bought a bag at a local Costco for only $16.59. The green oval label on top says "Roasted from Certified Organic coffee beans." I guess this is why it wasn't as flavorful as Starbucks (non-organic) Sumatra. It wasn't sour at all like blacksmithgirl claims. I guess her bag must have gone rancid. But it's too mild and too bitter for my taste. You get what you pay for. The worst part of waking up is this crap in your cup!

Not what I expected This "confection" is not in anyway like licorice. The licorice confection made by Panda does seem to use the same filling; a brown "wheaty" mass that is somewhat chewy, not at all sweet though. The raspberry confection is coated in raspberry flavor, but it cannot mask the filling flavor.

Be careful buying this product....You may not be getting what you paid for. We love sardines - skinless, boneless in olive oil. Having purchased quite a bit of grocery items from Amazon, we had no problem ordering these. And the price, particularly through the subscription service was terrific. So far so good.Then the problems began, 2 total, one at a time, like a slow-motion film, unfolding. Here goes:1) The 10 cans arrived, poorly packaged, and about 3 cans were badly dented. Rather than complain, we decided to open these first. They tasted, uh, extremely oily, the olive oil notwithstanding. We're rather fond of olive oil, but this.....ugh! Then we saw the labels: Reese Skinless & Boneless Filets Of Mackerel Sardines. I don't know what mackerel sardines are, but they tasted disgusting with that harsh, bluefish-like powerful oily flavor. Not what we ordered. Should have complained, but didn't for some reason. We donated them to a neighbor who likes bluefish, and cancelled the subscription.Believing that was a simple human error we ordered another 10 cans, again with the subscription. Price is great, right?2) We checked the labels - Reese Skinless and Boneless Sardines in Olive Oil - so far so good. Opened it up - full skins, all the bones. Definitely not skinless & boneless, and I'm not even going to taste to see if the oil is olive or not. Another neighbor got the benefit of this error - somebody who has teeth as powerful as the best garbage disposal, and has no problem eating fish scales let alone a little old sardine with skin. Plus he has no taste buds as he pours Tabasco sauce by the cupfuls over everything - blech! But that's a different story.Be careful with this one - 2 strikes and I'm out. I'll get mine in the grocery store and pay a little more. But we continue to purchase many grocery products through Amazon at great prices, with great results.

Pleasantly Surprised I need to start off by saying this stuff is amazing! When a person is first given the list of ingredients for haggis, the stomach may turn a little. Being an adventurous food taster, I had to try it. Popping the can the contents appear to be similar to dog food. Once you mash it up and heat it in the microwave, the haggis transforms into a bowl of steamy goodness. Who would've thought that a conglomeration of sheep's hearts, lungs, and liver mixed with oats could taste so good? I definitley didn't. I was pleasantly surprised how the flavors meld into such a magnificent dish. Anyone in the states who is turned of by either the ingredients or shipping cost, should reconsider and give this stuff a whirl. (especially if you enjoy beef liver or chicken livers) This product is worth the price. I will be picking up this stuff many more times.

Great Cookies- But close to expiration date I ordered the Chocolate & Mint variety. Amazon had them for a great price and shipped them quickly. However, I ordered the cookies in early November, and they arrived with a "Best When Used By" date of December 4, 2006. They will expire less than a month after they arrived!I'm not sure if this is Amazon's fault or not. The cookies are shipped in the manufacturer's Back to Nature box, so it could be the company is unloading older cases of merchandise on Amazon.com.

Leave a weird sensation These are a little salty, a little greasy, and a little 'powdery'. The taste is not bad, BUT, I did have the strangest sensation after eating a couple handfuls - I don't have any known allergies or 'texture issues' with food whatsoever, so it was really bizarre: they started to sort of taste prickly, like the outer part was sharp or rough, and it was unpleasant to continue eating them. The closest thing I can compare is imagine chewing on a mouthful of roasted peanut SHELLS. Very very weird. I wouldn't buy again, not worth it.

Best Vegie dogs ever My mom used to get these when I was little and I can't get them anywhere around where I live. I am so happy Amazon carries them and get a case every 6 months. They have great flavor and texture unlike other vegetarian dogs that I have had. I like that they are in a can so I can keep them in my storage closet.

In a word..........YUK!!! I'm only giving these 'truffles' a one star rating because there is no ZERO star rating... I am a lover of chocolates of all kinds, I am always looking for a tastier candy experience, which is why I tried these. If you judge by the majority of reviews, you'd think these are pretty darned good - but I ate one. Only one. I threw the entire pack in the trash - all 2+ pounds of it. I have never done that before, but these were just gross. They were all melted together into a brick, and the taste, once I got one free, was just, well... disgusting. I read the ingredients, and then I knew why I hated them - the number ONE ingredient in these 'chocolates' is vegetable oil. And Palm oil, at that. I HATE palm oil! It tastes greasy and unpleasant, even when it is NOT the primary ingredient in a snack. PLEASE save your money and buy Ferrer-Roche (sp) or Godiva, or even Linden - all of those are yummy, if overpriced, tasty treats. I wouldn't even give these to people I didn't like, let alone my own family. Save your money, just because they are 'French', it doesn't make them good - take it from me, I say 'C'est tres YUK!" Yuk-a-doodle-do!

THE best angel hair Spectacularly good angel hair pasta in the distinctive little nests of the real thing. This pasta really is hair thin, with the perfect texture and taste, and yet surprisingly substantial as a meal. Each box contains four or more nests, each of which makes enough angel hair for two or more people.Delicious, and maddeningly hard to find in my local markets, so I'm thrilled to see it here on Amazon.

Absolute Best Tea for Best Value Taylors of Harrogate Yorkshire Gold Tea has a strong bold and clear flavor. I drink a pot of it a day and recently read about the anti oxident benefits - benefits to prevent heart disease - and help myself to it all the more.

BEWARE OVER-priced!!! This is the BEST OAT Bran cereal. But one star because it is over-priced! Should be less than $3.00 a box, if purchased from your local grocery store, such as Harris Teeter or Publix. Or order directly from Hodgson Mill website for a case with 6 boxes for a total of $11.50, though shipping costs are high. Or order from iherb website at $2.07 a box, lower shipping charges. Still this is the best Oat Bran cereal in the market.

A cherished childhood memory... I loved Root Beer Fizzies as a kid. I bought some of these Fizzies because I wanted my kids to have the "Fizzies" experience.I know the Fizzies of old weren't great. That wasn't the point. They were fun entertainment. They were basically Root Beer flavored Alka Seltzer (without the aspirin). But they were drinkable.When I got these, my kids were excited. I opened one up. The packaging was similar to what I remembered. The Fizzie was about the same size. When I put it into the water it did its Fizzie thing. It even smelled like the old Root Beer Fizzies.Unfortunately, it doesn't taste like the Fizzies of old. There is no sugar in these. It uses Sorbital instead. I guess that makes these mom friendly. However, they don't taste very good. In fact, they are pretty bad.Again, the old Fizzies weren't great. The fun was in the "making" of the Fizzies. But at least the old Fizzies where sort of drinkable. These aren't. I wouldn't recommend the "New" Fizzies unless you want your childhood memories destroyed.

Too big Nowhere on this site do they give you a size for these things. I was hoping to find refillable tubes suitable for airline travel. These aren't it.

They all taste so bad and are so disgusting it's impossible to tell if any of the jars are sealed. This is like salted road kill! I threw it all away!This is another amazon product with fake reviews. No one could possibly like this product! Make sure your reviews are posted! Amazon has a habit of not posting negative reviews!

Is this the world's worst mincemeat? That question is hard to answer with authority, but None Such mincemeat must surely be a contender. Its runny texture, poor flavour and a lingering chemical aftertaste should tell you to avoid this product after one purchase. Yet unfortunately it's now the one you find everywhere on store shelves, a tribute to Borden's marketing power.Do yourself, your family and your guests a favour: order a couple of jars of Cross & Blackwell mincemeat instead.

I love Brachs butterscotch Hello. Well I've been eating this candy since child hood. It is may favorite hard candy.. There has not been one time that I have had a bag of this hard candy that it ever sat very long. I can eat the whole bag in one sitting!! I love its flavor.. It is highly addictive. you can not put it down. I have not ever found a hard candy that I liked as much as this butterscotch. It is wonderful. I get so disappointed when I go to the market and can not find the Brachs butterscotch.. It has become scarce and difficult to find. I am glad to have found it on amazon.I have fond childhood memories of this candy..

Design flaw, poor instructions This product has a serious design flaw. When I removed this product from its container, it did not stand on its own as I expected. Instead, it spread out onto the ground, then appeared to disappear into it. For the price I paid, I would have expected this product to have a lot more substance. Someone told me that I needed a glass, but this is not listed in the instructions. Also, there are no clear instructions on how to open the container. I tried everything from cotton balls to a can opener, to no avail. Eventually I was able to open it by burning a hole in it with a curling iron. I was afraid to use a knife, since I didn't want to damage the product inside. Clearly, Tuscan needs to re-think this product.**Edit** It seems that I would have had to let this sit at room temperature for several days in order for it to stand on its own. Again, terrible instructions. I would also appreciate a product that was ready to use.

tartaric acid and cream of tartar Tartaric acid and cream of tartar are not the same thing. Cream of tartar is made from tartaric acid. It is a weak salt derived from tartaric acid, when it is half-neutralized with potassium hydroxide.In most home recipes that call for tartaric acid can substitute 2 tsp cream of tartar for 1tsp tartaric acid. But if you are buying tartaric acid, you are not looking for cream of tartar and the seller should not label cream of tartar as tartaric acid.

Excellent Tea when feeling under the weather We combine this tea with an echinecea tea or throat coat (also by Medicinal Traditionals) and just keep filling up our cups with hot water through the evening. We not only enjoy it, but it boosts our immune systems that had been weakened through past traumas. Lovely on a cold fall or winter evening.

Can't beat the quality for the price! The Java Trading Company Espresso Jet City is not the best espresso I have had by any means. It is, however, the best espresso I have had for the price. When you purchase the 5 lb bag, the espresso is about 1/2 the price of Starbucks espresso. It has a very rich, nutty flavor with little to no bitterness. It makes decent crema, as well, in our fully automatic machine. With 5 people in our home using our espresso machine daily, this large bag is perfect for us. I will definitely purchase again.

ONLY awful because SOMETIMES they are awful and THAT is the problem. I order these by the case of 12 - and when they are good, which is over half the time they are the BEST kettle chip, THE BEST! and then I get a case of the worse - the potatos are mealy and old so I just throw them out and order again, expensive BUT when they are made with good fresh potatos they are the best - the last case is what prompted me to write this - the potatos were weird - like they were almost sour as in going bad - and I even wrote the company that makes them - SO if you want the BEST kettle chip there is try these and if the ones you get are NOT the best try again!I, myself am done ordering because it is creeping me out that they are using soured potatos and either not noticing or not caring.

Hard to find! We love vacationing in Liguria and love their olive oil. We can't find this in local stores, so ordering online is great!

photo did not represent candy received I am very, very disappointed. I bought myself the white chocolate almond bark as a present to myself for giving birth to my 42 year old son. The advertising photo showed whole almonds. The candy I received had not one, NOT ONE, whole almond. There was just crushed nut slivers. Absolutely not what I was expecting for the price I paid. Chocolate was of good quality but don't expect it to look like the photo.

No thanks This product was not refrigerated upon arrival. It has a little sticker that states to refrigerate at once. OK. So you mean to tell me while it's in the mail for 5 days its not being cooled. That's nasty.

perfect for a winter snack at work These are cheap, low calorie (though high sodium) snacks you can brew in your coffee mug. I keep a supply for each flavor under my desk for when I need a little something in the middle of the day. I wouldn't call them "soup" but they are hot and tasty! Also just great if you're sick (and then the salt helps a sore throat). I'm addicted to them now!

One of the best soups in the product line I rave about this soup. It is thick and delicious. If I had an opportunity to only recommend one product from this line this is the one. A close second is the Split Pea.

The Milk of Kings Having just supped my first tumbler of said milk it is safe to say I have fully broken my Tuscan Whole Milk hymen. I cannot help but feel disappoionted. So disappointed in fact that I felt compelled; no, I felt that IT IS MY DUTY to review this milk for what it is. It is a shoddy and poor imitation of Shepherd Gourmet Dairy milk.It is not, as some regard it "the milk of kings." It is a cheap knock-off of a far superior brand. Shepherd gourmet milk, or as I call it, Jesus's Choice" touched me in a way that nothing could every come close to.DO NOT BUY THIS MILK I URGE YOU, the moustache it will leave you with sinks right to the bone and produces emotional scars and/or tumours.You have been warned,Joe Bradbury

Blahhhhh If your kids like bland pasty mac and cheese, they might like this. I bought a case and donated the other 11 boxes to the hungry college students down the street. I looked up the company on the web to complain, and while searching for the name found out that they are part of Kraft. No wonder.These guys do make cookies however that taste pretty good. The mac was just not for me.

DON'T BUY UNLESS YOU WILL USE WITHIN A FEW DAYS! FAULTY PACKAGING The packaging is faulty and allows moisture into the cereal. I retained all packs in a safe, dry area (we do live in a moist area though). When opened packs to use, they were all so hard & stuck together from getting moist, you could barely even get teh cereal out of the box much less giving it to a baby probably wouldn't be a good idea.

Really, REALLY black! I read the previous reviews of AmeriColor's Super Black icing coloring and decided to give it a try to make my daughter's zebra-striped birthday cake. I wanted a black that I could use without having to start with chocolate icing (birthday girl does not like chocolate!). It turned snow-white marshmallow fondant BLACK, with very little of the gel and no noticeable taste difference. I was afraid that the coloring would leave my hands purple or blue, but the only place I noticed a stain was where I touched the full-strength coloring directly--once I mixed it in with the melted marshmallow before mixing the powdered sugar in to make the fondant, there were not problems with stains. I can't say if it would stain stone counters, though--I was not brave enough to test it on my granite, and so I kneaded the fondant on wax paper. Like other reviewers, I was a Wilton fan for years, but love this new alternative and will definitely be using AmeriColor from now on.

Great dark & oily whole beans My husband loves these beans for espresso in his lattes!We have a super-automatic espresso machine that grinds and brews the espresso shots, and my husband uses the machine to make lattes.... he'll drink anywhere from 1 to 4 of them a day. He used to get his coffee beans from a local roaster, but we moved, and it was going to be over $15/lb with shipping to continue buying from our old roaster. He hadn't found anything comparable in the grocery store, and he doesn't like Starbucks' beans. He likes his whole beans dark and oily, but no over-roasted burnt taste is allowed!For a little over $5.50/lb for the Java Trading Co's Jet City beans, I took a chance and purchased these hoping he'd like them, and he was upset I'd bought a 5 pound bag of something he didn't know if he liked. When they arrived, I was relieved to see the Jet City beans were indeed dark and oily, and my husband loved the smell of them. The next morning, he made a couple lattes with them, and he told me these beans were awesome. Yes! I am so happy he loves them.We store them in airtight containers (OXO Good Grips POP containers) in the freezer to keep them fresh.*Update*: We're now on our 2nd bag of these beans, and boy, when I opened the bag to separate the beans into the OXO containers, the fresh roasted smell transported me back in time by a decade, when I used to work as a barista in a Portland, OR coffee shop. I looked at the label on this 2nd bag, and it came from their Renton, WA roasting facility which is in my state. (Amazon shipped it from their shipping facility in Federal Way, WA, and it arrived at my house within 2 days.) This 2nd bag is just as good as the first, so I'm quite pleased with the quality control from Java Trading Co.

Does *not* taste like carrot juice should taste I've been enjoying carrot juice for years -- home made in my juicer and also another well-known brand sold in the produce department, which is also good. But recently I purchased Lakewood brand and was so disturbed by the taste that I thought the bottle of juice had somehow gone bad. Thinking it was an isolated incident, I didn't say anything about it when my boyfriend bought two more 32 oz. bottles to use in a recipe we planned to make this morning (a wonderful "pumpkin pie" smoothie made with carrot juice, sweet potato and dates). We were making a large quantity, to serve to friends, and it turned out these bottles of juice were terrible too, so we had to scrap the whole plan. There is a real "twangy" almost metallic taste, bordering on rotten carrots. I don't know if it's the pasteurization process or what, but this brand of carrot juice does *not* taste like carrot juice. I would hate for people to buy it and think they don't like carrot juice due to how this tastes. I don't know what their process is, but the end result is very icky. (Sorry, Lakewood -- I really don't like giving bad reviews! But this stuff is not good!)

I looooove these! I am shocked to see the other two negative reviews. I love these.a.lot! I add peanutbutter chips too (not instead of but in addition to). I will try some from scratch but really, these are good:)

Hydroponic garden Excellent indoor growing system that requires little attention. Very fast-growing. Having trouble keeping up with all the herbs it "cranks out." I'll be trying out the salad greens next...or maybe the green peppers. Pity AeroGrow doesn't have a bush cucumber collection.

Zesta Saltines not quite so Zesty Shipping Carton arrived partially opened (?), but with full order inside in decent shape (although first box seemed a little on the stale side).However, so far as the process of ordering and delivery, everything worked as expected.PS: We are delighted to discover we can purchase Zesta Saltines via Amazon. This brand disappeared form shelves in this area shortly after Nabisco (?) purchased Keebler some years ago--it is by far the best saltine among the major brands.

Best snack on the planet but why the glucose?! I love Kind bars - they are yummy, gluten free, dairy free, provide % of proceeds to good causes, and have lots of natural ingredients. But as someone who is trying to reduce sugar intake I am bummed that they contain glucose. I think they would be sweet enough without added glucose. Then they truly would be the perfect snack!

Sorry, not my favorite I bought these long time ago for a friend, who was craving their favorite candies during their time away from home. Sadly, it turned out to be a big mistake and waste of money. The lollipops were coated, as described, in a very thick layer of chili powder that makes you want to cough it up at the horrid taste & bird feed texture. I'm not shy of spice at all and still found it too potent for a candy. The watermelon flavoring is rather weak in comparison, once you finally get to it after the heavy chili layers. This candy failed to bring back any memories for said friend, only disappointment.

I didn't enjoy this When I tasted it, I immediately knew that this wasn't the halva I remember from my youth. I checked the ingredients and guess what; no honey - just corn syrup and partially hydrogenated oil ! Why is corn syrup in everything nowadays !I do not recommend this brand.

Best Tea I've ever had Who knew tea could be so polarizing? I'm shocked by the amount of negative reviews on this tea.I tasted this tea once and was immediately blown away, it is the best tea I've ever had. I've had many different brands of jasmine green tea, and I always enjoy it. This is no normal jasmine green tea, however. Normally jasmine green tea has the recognizable taste of green tea with the slight hint of something flowery. You can smell the jasmine more than taste it. This tea does not taste like any other jasmine green tea. Whereas jasmine green tea is typically light with faint flavor, the Good Earth jasmine green tea is robust. The flavor is rich and indulgent, it almost tastes like a dessert tea. The jasmine flavor does not shy away in the distance, but is upfront and shares the taste evenly with the green tea leaves. I can see how it might not be for everyone, but if you have a palette anything like mine you will fall in love with it. I drink a cup of this tea every single morning, and I've never grown tired of it. The thought of it gets me out of bed in the mornings. It is also delicious as an iced tea. And to counter what other reviewers have erroneously said, it contains no sweeteners and no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. Though it tastes so good I can see why people would assume it does! I love that I found something that tastes devilishly good yet is full of antioxidants and gives me a boost of energy. Try it, and don't expect it to taste like typical jasmine green tea. It is in a class of its own.

tastes great, filling, best "fake junk food" find These really fill that need for something salty and crunchy while not actually being junk food. The nutrition info speaks for itself. The chips are small, so the bag takes a long time to munch through, so you don't feel like you took two bites and ran out. Their texture is similar to puffed rice/wheat/corn junk foods, like bugles or salsa fries. They kind of dissolve after the first initial crunch, as opposed to a chip made from a slice of potato, which just breaks into smaller hard pieces. This is my favourite flavor - the parmesean isn't bad, but this is really late-night-I'm-stoned-and-playing-video-games junk food goodness.
