Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Nougat Crunch

A new ice cream flavor! That I'm not allergic to! Yeah! This is vanilla ice cream (very good) with soft chocolate frosty from wendy's-esque swirls (pretty good, kinda weird) and chocolate covered wafery cookie bits (mostly weird but not bad). All in all, it's kind of a weird flavor - the cookie bits are OK but I don't seek them out like I seek out cookie dough bits or what have you in other flavors. I would eat it again, but since there are better flavors out there, I probably won't. It's a fun flavor though and it's definitely unique.

Wheat Thins - Smoky BBQ Flavor

BBQ Wheat Thins!? I know, right? I had to check it out. I really like regular wheat thins, and BBQ is probably my favorite chip flavor. That said, these taste exactly like wheat thins with a BBQ chip powder dusting would taste. Pretty good, in other words. The wheat thins are so hard (they're crackers, not chips!) and I find myself thinking "gee I wish this were a chip though". But the flavor is on point, and they're pretty addictive. I like to grab a handful as a snack, and they're probably healthier than chips are anyway (but don't quote me on that). So yes, I will get these again! Yum.

Knorr Tomato Parmesan

Mmm, classic Lipton noodle pack. Of course they're Knorr sides now, but it's the same thing! This one is one of the newer ones, and it's okay, but it has a strong flavor and I can't eat it too often. It's very tomato-cheesy. The noodles are small and always very firm after cooking, and the sauce is flavorful. I like this, but especially as a side with some other foods because it's a bit much on its own.

Main Street Sliders

Overall I really like this place! And they use no nuts. Here's some foods:

Original Beef Sliders: Maybe I was just hungry, but these are delicious. Definitely better than White Castles EVEN THOUGH they have the same ingredients! (8/10)

Grilled Chicken Sliders: These are ok - a little plain and could use something else though. (6/10)

Fried Chicken Sliders: These are a bit better than the grilled ones but not because of the frying. They have a honey mustard sauce! (7/10)

Corn Nuggets: Not as good as Lisa's corn nuggets in PA, but still pretty good. It's rare to find corn nuggets in Newark anyway. So. (7/10)

Brocolli & Cheddar Nuggets: Nothing special. Don't get these! Plus I only got 6 and I was told I'd get 7! >:( (5/10)

Lean Cuisine - Ranchero Braised Beef

Another new lean cuisine variety! This one was pretty good, but as usual, nothing earth-shattering. I really like the potatoes, although the chipotle flavor is kind of a negative thing -- I like the "plain" sweet potatoes of the turkey lean cuisine a bit better. They're still really good here though. The beef is OK, but it isn't great...the bits of onion floating around are gross in flavor and texture, and the sauce is at best average, and a little too sweet. The meat itself is pretty good if you don't get too much sauce on it!

Lean Cuisine - Chile Lime Chicken

This is a NEW! Chef's Pick, so I had to buy it. I had a feeling it would taste a bit like the chicken enchilada suiza which I know so well, and I was pretty close. The rice/corn mixture is light and fresh and tastes a lot like the Suiza's rice. The chicken in "chile lime sauce" was...okay. It was pretty generic, and the sauce didn't really stand out. The chicken was a fine texture and everything, but the flavor just wasn't very snappy/comforting/interesting so I probably won't get this again. It was filling and pleasant and fairly healthy, though.

Tai Pei General Tso's Chicken

This is the new and improved! version, by the way.

This meal is decent - it has peapods in it, but they're pretty easy to pick out. It's kind of sweet/spicy, maybe even too spicy at times. The rice and chicken and broccoli is good, the onions and peppers are 'eh'. It's decently filling and tastes decently "chinese", but it's nothing amazingly impressive so I probably won't buy it too many more times. It is OK though.
