Back in the day, having ice cream and lots of it, was one of the greatest perks to having your tonsils out.  But is it just a myth that it’s a good thing to have ice cream after the operation?  Or fact?  The folks at the Turkey Hill Ice Cream Journal sought the truth, and […]

Although rats and cockroaches in restaurants in no great surprise these days, unfortunately, I gotta say, I was a little surprised when I read the location of the latest ordered shut-down … popular, historic NYC restaurant Serendipity 3. 
Just last week the restaurant was making headlines for unveiling a $25,000 dessert (pictured) and now, shuttered.  […]

Do you love Easter’s Cadbury Creme Eggs? Well, Cadbury has delivered an early Christmas gift in the form of the Cadbury Ornament Creme Egg. Yes, you read that right!
The Ornament Creme Egg is the classic Cadbury Creme Egg wrapped up in red foil. Personally, I think Cadbury is cheating by not making any changes. What […]

You know you have “made it” when a popular ice cream company makes a special edition ice cream just because it’s your birthday.  Seriously. 
Today is Prince Charles’ birthday and he can celebrate it with the new Heir to the Cone ice cream from the folks at Ben & Jerry’s.  As they describe it, “Heir to the Cone […]

I’ve had the regular Goetze’s caramel creams before, and I liked them, but I found the weird texture of the caramel to be somewhat off-putting. The Chocolate and Strawberry Cow Tales also suffered, and in the Cow Tales, the weird texture became an insurmountable hurdle, possibly because the caramel to cream ratio is different.

From my personal experience, Twix is not a polarizing candy bar. Few can find fault with its blend of creamy chocolate, crunchy cookie, and oozy caramel. Consequently, few can resist polishing off both bars in a pack of Twix.
With Twix PB, the balance of tastes and textures is off, and I had no problem stopping […]

They’re not sour! If you’re going to call your product Mentos , they should actually be, you know, sour. That being said, they were still pretty tasty, and I’m ashamed to admit that I polished off the entire roll in one sitting. For some reason that always happens when I buy Mentos. Maybe because the […]
