Purely Decadent Chunky Mint Madness ice cream

5+

Perfect mint swirled with chocolatey ice cream and brownie bits. Quite possibly the best of Purely Decadent's flavors.

Purely Decadent Cookie Avalanche ice cream

5+

Chunks of cookies in sweet creamy heaven. It might tie for Purely Decadent's best flavor. This is probably the best brand and flavor of ice cream I’ve ever had. Fantastic, heavenly, wonderful. There’s nothing more to say.

Fine, pretty standard. Good but not too exciting.

Follow Your Heart anchovy-free Caesar dressing

Spicy with pepper and garlic, nice for salads and as a dip or drizzled on steamed veggies.

These taste like Chips Ahoy. They are dry but tasty. Kind of crunchy.

Trader Joe's vegan chocolate chip cookies

Soft chewy cookies with a perfect salty/sweet balance. Excellent. A bag of these never survives a party.

Trader Joe's goddess salad dressing

5+

Trader Joe’s brand goddess dressing is excellent, a worthy competitor of Annie’s brand. TJ’s is cheaper, and it does the job marvelously. Goddess dressing rocks the house. It seems to go with just about anything! I love it not just on salad but also on pasta, gnocchi, sandwiches, and potatoes. I could drink this stuff.

Double Rainbow soy cream very cherry chip ice cream

Big hunks of chocolate, big hunks of real cherries. One of the very best flavors out there.

Sam's Choice thick and chunky salsa, medium

Very good for store-bought non-refrigerated salsa. Very saucy, goopy. Rich tomato flavor and just the right amount of spiciness.
