DeLish Hot Dog Puffs

(Good &) deLish is one of Walgreen’s food brands, along with Nice!  and a couple others.  They have a lot of heat and eat foods in their coolers these days, including burgers, sandwiches, pizzas and appetizers.  I’ve tried the burgers and the pizza. These hot dog puffs come in a pack of 8 for $2.50… Continue reading DeLish Hot Dog Puffs

Nathans Frozen Onion Rings

I have expressed my concerns here about the infiltration of restaurant brands into the grocery aisles on many occasions. While I realize these companies (or their licensees) are trying to  extend their brand names and develop new sources of revenues, very rarely is the product anywhere near the taste / texture of what you will… Continue reading Nathans Frozen Onion Rings

Jacks Pizza Review

Jack’s is one of those former little brands, started as the food equivalent of a garage band, in Little Chute, Wisconsin (outside of Appleton.  Near Neenah.  Kinda by Menasha. Before you get to Green Bay).  Started in 1960.  Grew around the state, then the region, bought by Kraft when they were rolling up frozen pizza… Continue reading Jacks Pizza Review

Perfect Pasta Meat Ravioli Review

Any time I pick up a product to purchase and the first two words on the ingredient list are not “mechanically separated,”  I figure I’m way ahead of the game.  It was the ingredient list that attracted me to the meat ravioli product of Perfect Pasta, a suburban Chicago manufacturer. Note the ingredients: Durum wheat… Continue reading Perfect Pasta Meat Ravioli Review

Butterball Turkey Reviews

A registered trademark since 1940, “Butterball”  came into wide use in the 60s by Swift & Company and the brand was eventually spun to ConAgra.  Today the line of fresh and frozen turkeys and a host of turkey derived products is owned by Kansas based Seaboard Corporation, a diversified multinational, that also operates other food… Continue reading Butterball Turkey Reviews

Ethnic Gourmet Frozen Entrees Review

“Ironically” –  where I fell in love with Indian food was when I lived in China for six years.  It was available in abundance, and especially on the little island I lived on in the South China Sea.   We had a couple of Indian restaurants there, my regular stop was “Toochtka’s”, run by Malloy,… Continue reading Ethnic Gourmet Frozen Entrees Review

Tyson Buffalo Chicken Strips Review

I have often written on the subject of my bewilderment that after frozen, fried foods being around for over fifty years, they haven’t figured out how to make it truly crispy yet.  Pre-cooked/fried at the factory, no matter how you screw around with it at home (following the manufacturer’s instructions), you can’t get that crisp… Continue reading Tyson Buffalo Chicken Strips Review

Banquet Boneless Pork Rib Review

Let’s file this one under two categories: 1) “things I’ve tried so you don’t have to”, and 2) “I don’t like ribs.”   I just never have liked ribs, though some other barbecue treats are a delight to me.   Funny, cause Mrs. Burgerdogboy can pack away multiple slabs at a time, and like a… Continue reading Banquet Boneless Pork Rib Review

Home Cookin’ Test – Extra Value Frozen Beef Patties

I’ve  reviewed a lot of these frozen patties, and to date, I’ve liked Ball Park brand the most, even though they are a ‘heat and eat’ product, not a raw patty. Extra Value is an economy brand, manufactured by the Holten Meat Company, outside of St. Louis. I bought a package of a dozen quarter… Continue reading Home Cookin’ Test – Extra Value Frozen Beef Patties
