Well this is a curious thing, spotted at WalMart for about a buck. “Lunchables” are “complete” meals to go, to eat heated or at room temperature, and were introduced in 1988 by Oscar Mayer, now part of Kraft. They were created by a team at Oscar Mayer as a way to sell more bologna, and… Continue reading Lunchable Waffle Stick Breakfast Review

Appleton Farms Ham Steak Review
I have written about a lot of Aldi products; Aldi is the global discount grocer owned by the same German family as Trader Joes. At Aldi, you won’t find many big brand names, but rather Aldi concocted brand names that are manufactured under contract to Aldi’s specifications. (Also it will cost you a quarter to… Continue reading Appleton Farms Ham Steak Review
Fairfield Inn Roseville MN
Designed to compete in the category the hospitality industry calls “added value economy”, the Marriott Corporation created the Fairfield Inn brand in the late 1980s. This category of motel offers amenities, but limited “service,” at “value pricing.” Pricing, of course, varies depending on location. “Limited service” generally means, no on-site restaurant, bell staff and the… Continue reading Fairfield Inn Roseville MN
John Morrell Little Smokies Review
I continue my quest for the world’s tastiest Little Smokies. So far, by a wide margin, Hillshire Farms Beef are my favorite….in the number two slot is the in-house brand at discount grocer Aldi. It’s not a close second as far as the primary criteria, flavor and texture, no, Aldi places for value… regularly… Continue reading John Morrell Little Smokies Review
Jones Canadian Bacon Review
Growing up within spitting distance of Canada, I never gave much thought to “Canadian Bacon” as a kid; we had it quite frequently, I just figured my parents smuggled it in from Ontario like they used to have to buy bootleg margarine in Michigan. I rarely buy it for home use, I generally find it… Continue reading Jones Canadian Bacon Review
Crystal Lake, IL – Andys Family Restaurant Review
Landing at O’Hare after an overnight flight from Honolulu, I was starving. Why didn’t I eat on the plane? Conked out on the new lie flat seat/beds in first class, very comfy, a little too comfy. Was heading from Chicago to Madison, so I thought I’d stop en route and get a tasty breakfast on… Continue reading Crystal Lake, IL – Andys Family Restaurant Review
Eckrich Lil Smokies Review
I’m a fiend for “little smokies” – give me a mess of good quality, fine tasting ones, and I’ll pass on the rest of breakfast. You never see them on a restaurant menus, not really sure why. Like all pork (and meat in general) products, they have gotten really spendy lately, pushing over $6 a… Continue reading Eckrich Lil Smokies Review
Eckrich Lil Smokes Review
I’m a fiend for “little smokies’ as a breakfast meat. Give me enough of them of good quality, and I’ll skip the eggs, toast, and potatoes. You never see them on restaurant menus, though I don’t know why. My personal preference is for the all beef variety, though I am motivated by price point too,… Continue reading Eckrich Lil Smokes Review
Parkview Cocktail Sausages Review
I love cocktail sausages; not if they are swimming in barbecue sauce in a chafing dish mind you, but as a breakfast meat, or an anytime, low carb snack. Most brands are generally smoked, so if you’re inclined, you could eat them right out of the package. For me, I prefer them a little crispy,… Continue reading Parkview Cocktail Sausages Review
Oscar Mayer “Bun Size” Smokies Review
I’m so old, “Little Smokies” weren’t around when I was a little smokie. Yet Hormel ‘full size” smokies were a regular part of my family’s weekend breakfast. Saturday breakfast was a big event at our house, my dad often cooking, and it was such a spread that kids often slept over on Friday nite to… Continue reading Oscar Mayer “Bun Size” Smokies Review
