I miss the old canned yams of my childhood (alas), but these are an OK substitute, albeit much more annoying to prepare and slightly less tasty, and more firm. As a side dish in a small amount, they are a welcome addition to a holiday meal, but on their own they're very ehhhhh. So plan wisely, friends!

As with all pies, this is like 3200 calories, but hey, it's the holidays! Plus I shared it with my family, of course. I think it was pretty tasty, and a good texture -- mine just happened to have a weird "old animal fat" taste to it for some reason. I'm guessing somehow there was a turkey or gravy spill that I didn't observe, otherwise there's something very weird in Mrs Smith's home. Without that taste, though, this was solid. So I would get it again!

I don't really like cheddar, but my dad does, so I got this for the Thanksgiving cheese plate. It was fine -- definitely tastes like cheddar, which is neither spicy nor creamy, so it doesn't fulfill my cheese desires. Would probably be decent on pasta or some such thing, though.

My dad likes the regular Martin's party rolls for a holiday dinner, but this was the only kind my store had. Sweet!? Sounds gross, right? It turns out these basically taste the same as regular, so my dad liked them fine. They're also OK with me, but not my favorite bread-side. So, edible, but not my preference. A little too potato-y and not enough butter-y!

Apparently this is a different product than the butterMILK biscuits, although I would argue both versions are butter tastin'. I got these because they were the only flaky layer biscuit in stock for Thanksgiving, and I have no complaints. They seemed pretty indistinguishable from the other flavors of this style biscuit. I accidentally left them in the oven too long (the stress of parents visiting!) but even though they were very overdone, they didn't char or honestly taste bad at all. Good for leftovers too. Delicious, bad for you, easy to cook. Quality product!

Well, I'm glad my mom liked this, because it was not to my taste!! It's very herby. I'm no Prairie Dawn I guess. The vibes I got weren't really garlic, or even basil - it tasted a bit like sage/thyme/rosemary/dill instead. Very savory. More like a cheese dip would taste than a hard cheese. I could eat a few cubes, but that's about it. However, I sent my mom home with the leftovers, post-turkey-day-cheese-plate, so at least someone might like this!

There isn't a person alive who wouldn't like a cute little bunny shaped cookie, right? So I'm no exception. These are cute all right, and I exceeded the 31-cookie serving shamefully. Apparently you get chocolate, honey, and marshmallow flavored cookies. Well, the chocolate are obvious, and they are good. The honey and marshmallow look the same!!! I think the marshmallow is tastier, but they're hard to distinguish, honestly. As a clump these do taste good, but I don't particularly get "s'more". Just generic teddy graham vibe, But, it's still a good time.
