  Some treats don't come with instructions, and I have no idea what I'm doing at the best of times. The first plan with this blog post was to highlight a few of the treats that I've picked up lately where I had no idea how to eat them. It's funny because occasionally I'll post pictures of these treats on social media and explain that I have no idea how to review these treats. The most common "smart" answer I get is "eat them". Sometimes that's not as easy as it appears. Some treats require a certain amount of interactivity to eat them. For people from North America the best suggestion I ..read more

 I just ate Peeps prepared 5 different ways, and I'm blown away at the results. It's amazing how different the results were each and every way I prepared them.

The second bias within fruit is that many gummies seem to be certain flavours. For example, a cherry flavoured gummy is extremely common, but a mango, or lychee flavoured gummy is very rare. There's most definitely a spectrum of popular and unpopular flavours for fruit gummies. This week I tasted a fine strawberry gummy, I'd place that in the m ..read more

 Recently Allison and I went on a two week adventure to Oman and Qatar. Today I'm going to go over a few of the fun food discoveries that we came across while in Oman. We're both big fans of Middle Eastern cooking, but we also like that many Middle Eastern countries enjoy having western food available too. This is good for us because we often visit Middle Eastern countries while we're living in other parts of the world that may not have a lot of western foods to choose from. This allows us to enjoy a nice trip some place different, but also get a little taste of home while we're there.&nb ..read more
