New Food Ideas!
My husband and I were working on a menu/grocery list for the next two weeks, and I realized we have sunk deeply into a rut. We are eating the same few things, mostly because we’ve both been so busy, we stick with the easy stuff.
So went looking online for something different and unusual.
What I found was
a site devoted to the processed food industry. It was neat to look around!
Though I didn’t find any radically-different meal ideas, I did find some new food products. Like these:
Sometime this spring you can look for a new carbonated soft drink made by Pepsi. It’s called Tava, and comes in four flavors: Brazilian Samba, Caribbean Calypso, Mediterranean Muse and Malaysian Satori. It will include vitamins and fruit flavoring, though I don’t know what fruits..
Three new flavors of Hershey’s Extra Dark Chocolate: Pure Dark Chocolate, Pure Dark Chocolate with Cranberries, Blueberries and Almonds, and Pure Dark Chocolate with Macadamias and Cranberries.
Knorr brand Mini Cubes of Garlic and Onion — which are like bouillon cubes, which may be interesting. I know Knorr’s bouillon is the best of the bunch, so this may also be a quality product.
Hamburger Helper Microwave Singles are a big deal right now, if you like Hamburger Helper. ;>) It’s packaged in a shelf-stable pouch, that you add water to and nuke. Yes, it has hamburger. If you’re wondering how they did that, well, it’s freeze-dried. I might have to try this, just for grins, though it’s being marketed for kids.
O’Coco’s organic chocolate crisps by Nspired Natural Foods Inc. are probably the most intriguing of the group of new foods mentioned. Imagine, if you will, chocolate, but crunchy, like potato chips. I wonder what provides that crunch?
…as a bonus, here’s
— all the history, and how they evolved into one of the most popular snacks in America.
