Here are the pictures of Toffee apple and Hickory smoked nuts & seeds.

I liked both of them less than i thought I would. The toffee was amazing but the apple was very and very bland, must've been a non-sweet kind. I dipped a marshmallow in the toffee sauce and it was delicious :) And I didn't like the nuts & seeds mix because it had too many sunflower seeds which overpowered everything else.

yummm I love almonds, I won't be getting them in my first box, but my second will have british barbeque, which will have savory almonds in it. yumyumyum

 

I agree about sunflower seeds, they have a very "distinct" taste, I wouldn't call it good or bad, but I definitely see how it could overpower a mix.

 

Also a sweetened apple + sugary dip would be overkill I think.. but that's personal preference :)

was surprised to find a box delivered this weekend because none was shown on my account.

 

i'm really looking forward to trying these this week.

 

one thing to note: the expiration date on the lemon & poppy slice is 1/29 so only 2 days.

popcorn (3)
dip and dippers (4)

cake with tea (5)
bread (2)
olives (4)

savory (1)
chocolate (3)

nuts (2)

for a total of 24!

DAMN I want cake with tea!!!

Scotchmallow!

 

When the boxes of nuts and chews get passed around at holidays, my brother and dad and i all glare at eachother, because we know whoever is last in the rotation isn't going to get one of the two scotchmallows. We know we can't be all pushy and ask for the box first, but we know all three of us are plotting to take one of the two

 

so. good.

The British barbeque is not bad! It was heavy on the seeds, but they actually tasted good so I didn't mind. I wished for more nuts and less of the baguette though :)

I've tried my four snacks now!

 

Toffee Apple - I liked it! The toffee is super rich and sweet and the apple is pretty mellow...but I like that it isn't overly sweet. I don't like sweet things dipped in other sweet things. :)

 

British Barbeque - As I stated above, a bit heavy on the seeds, but the seeds taste good, love the almonds, the baguette and breadsticks are tasty too but I wish the mix was heavier on the nuts. BUt, I'd get it again.

 

Apple Cinnamon Flapjack - A bit boring. Soft chewy oats with just a bit of apple...I'd have liked more apple!

 

Bonnie Wee oatbakes - the oatbakes are crisp and hearty, and the onion marmalade is sweet and tangy. Yummy mix!

Ack our mail room is not open on Sundays, I will be running down promptly at 9 to see if anything has shown up.

 

And he had bofa close a card because it was reported to them under a fraudulent something or other in a list of compromised numbers, (which, btw why do they not tell you where it got compromised?! I would like to know who is not keeping their shit secure thank you very much)

 

That was the card he pays for some of my subs with... I put in my card so I won't miss the month, but annoying to try and remember to change everything.

Mine already shows what I'm getting for week TWO. Yet I haven't gotten my first box yet. Weird, but I won't complain.

 

Here is my week two box:

 

http://grz.cm/b/PLVCY

 

Strawberry Milkshake (love)

Cracking Black Peppercorn (like)

Summer Berry Compote (love)

Pear Tatin (try)

 

They seem to be doing a good job honoring our preferences while still allowing us to explore our "trys" so far. :)

http://grz.cm/b/RJ17V Yayy! They were all things I really wanted to try! Looking at the nutrition facts I may treat these as meal replacement rather than snack, though.

Woohoo! Looks like they did everyone's at once!  I'm getting:

 

Summer Berry Compote (Love)

Cookies and Cream (Like)

Mumbai Masala (Try)

Bounty Hunter (Try)

 

I must have forgotten to trash the Masala, normally I'm not a fan of spicy things, but I will happily try it!  I may try an experiment for next week where I "trash" all but a few things so I'm more in control of the selection.  Control freak? No, not at all.  Why do you ask? whistling.gif

I am definitely going to be playing with their algorithm to see if I can get 3/1 savory snacks to sweet. I think I might do all the savory snacks to like/love and all the sweet to try and then set my preferences to get more loves.

I am definitely more of a savory snacks girl, but I'd still like to get one sweet item.

lol, there is also an option where you can have them send you more of the things you "love" rather than a cross section across choices. smile.gif

no dippers yet for me, but that's ok. I only "trashed" or marked "try" on all the items, so I'm excited to try a little of everything.
