New foods/drinks you tried today/recently!

I tried the Arizona Frost Chillzicle drink, exclusive to 7-Eleven. I may or may not have gotten it because the can looked beautiful. I normally don’t pick up ‘weird’ drinks like this because I’m sensitive to certain sweeteners, especially in sparkling beverages. Those, in particular, give me migraines.

They have a tropical version, as well. That one sounds better, but it wasn’t available at the 7-Eleven location I stopped at. The Frost Chillzicle was okay, but the Tropical sounds like it would be much better.

Spoiler: Chillzicle

I tried Kevin Costner's Horizon Blend coffee.It's named for Costner's new movie Horizon:An American Saga and after trying this coffee I'd say that it's going to be more successful than the movie which received a lot of lukewarm reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.They drink a lot of coffee out there on the range so naming a coffee after a Western themed movie makes sense.Can we expect Dances With Wolves Pinto Beans or Silverado Buttermilk Biscuits next?This is a dark roast but it's fairly smooth and won't give you bitter beer face.I give it four Stetsons out of five.

Just bought a packet of Sour Patch Kids Oreos. They tasted like golden Oreos (my favorite type of Oreo) except the creme was pretty sour. Too bad it didn't go sour, sweet, and gone like with the candies.

Random fact: When the cashier scanned it, she told me she thought it was going to taste like the pop rock Oreos, so that's why she was kind of unsettled by those new ones. She hasn't tried them yet, though, and she said they were interesting anyway.

There was a new cheese is the sale bin at the grocery store, St. Angel. The label mentioned a mushroomy taste, I didn't get that. It was creamier than a brie.

About a week or two ago, I tried Dragon Fruit for the first time. It was really good! Would get again.

Today I went to The Largest McDonald’s in Orlando. It’s the only McDonald’s to still have pizza. I tried it and it was okay. The cheese pulled off too easily, but the toppings (pepperoni and bacon bits) were plentiful. I’ve had worse pizza from different places. 6/10 overall.

I'm really starting to like those canned Bubly drinks. Blackberry is good, and apple too.

Though I'm trying to avoid processed foods more this year, I was sort of hungry at the airport on my way home from a trip back on Thursday, so I looked around for something reasonably okay and found some Wilde brand protein chips that are apparently made with, among other things, chicken breast and egg whites. In particular, I tried the Nashville Hot flavor. They tasted pretty great, actually. They don't seem to be readily available at any of my local stores, which is a bit of a shame, but it's also probably for the best anyway.

I also had a homemade taco during the aforementioned visit that I mentioned; I'd only ever had one Taco Bell taco years ago and thought it was kinda gross. This one, however, was tasty and I might have to try making some myself sometime.

vegetable fried rice with chicken! my gosh was that super yummy! can't wait to eat it again whenever that is!

My mom was making a trip to the two stores that sell these so she got me some of my favorite black pepper and aged cheddar chips and some mozzarella slices, a combo I’ve been really wanting to try! It was just as good as I imagined! The sweetness balances the savoriness very well ^^

 

[Yoshi155]

I had Cinnabon for the first time today! I just got a normal cinnamon roll and a cookie and they were both really good! Would definitely try again.

 

[Reginald Fairfield]

I was given some garlic flavored plantain chips. It almost tastes like a tortilla chip.

I was also given some smoked gouda, I might melt that on some fried eggs in the morning.

 

[Reginald Fairfield]

I think the smoked gouda complimented the red cayenne pepper on those eggs very well.

I tried a sushi taco last weekend because I thought it sounded like an interesting combination. It was actually really good!

Rice from Outback Steakhouse - 10/10! I couldn’t stop daydreaming about it!
Rice from Texas Roadhouse - 0/10, will never order again. I could tell by the way it looked that I probably wasn’t going to like it, but I tried it anyway. It just didn’t taste savory in the way that I like. And the texture was kinda gross, too soft and puffy.
Green Beans from Texas Roadhouse - 0/10. I like green beans, so I thought I couldn’t go wrong with them. Turns out they had bits of wet bacon and were sitting in a pool of wet bacon water. Why ruin perfectly good green beans like that?

Spoiler: Alcohol

Under the Purple Sea from Red Lobster - definitely in the top tier of alcohols I’ve had. It didn’t have too much of that awful alcohol taste, and it didn’t overtake the nice jolly rancher-esque flavor. Plus it looked pretty.

 

[Foreverfox]

Not really a new food per se, but a combination I’m newly hooked on. Red lentil pasta, pan friend green beans (almost typed beens lol), and pan fried mushrooms. All the butter from frying and a tablespoon of my homemade alfredo sauce. Soooo good.

I got a Japanese snack from a recent event. I didn’t know what it said on the wrapper, so I opened it expecting a chocolate bar or something. It was a big cheese stick— like cheese puff or Cheeto type of cheese —with corn starch. Sadly it didn’t taste like a big Cheeto though.

I have tried a chocolate Japanese cake with red bean paste inside, which is actually tasty, but the cheese thing threw me off.

It looked a lot like that…so probably yeah.
