While Mexican in origin, those triangular-shaped deep fried Tortilla Chips as we now know them originated at a Los Angeles restaurant in the 1940s.  We judged them on taste, texture and of course, the ability to hold salsa!  This was a tough one, but there IS a ganador del premio!  (prize winner)

Since cooking Thanksgiving stuffing inside the turkey is now a big no-no (you have to overcook the bird to cook the stuffing) we wanted to sample the boxed mixes.  The criteria was pretty simple.... flavor, moistness, texture and seasonings.  With two well-known names in the running, the winner was a BIG surprise!   While homemade stuffing is always best, we have one that deserves a place on your Thanksgiving table.

During the entire history of our taste tests, we have never selected an item that could be unhealthy.  While vacationing on Sanibel Island with limited groceries, Michael thought it would be entertaining and enlightening to try various sugar substitutes.  This soon turned out to be a wrong decision.  If you have to use a sweetener, choose organic cane sugar and avoid the rest!

In the fall of 2021, apples are supposedly the new Flavor du Jour  (supplanting pumpkin) and we're already seeing apple-flavored this and that.  We picked up a half dozen different red apples and took a bite.  We think Adam and Eve would have approved this taste test!

You can gather all the ingredients and make a pumpkin pie from scratch (the best way), or you buy one already made, pop it in the oven, and serve it to your guests.  We wanted to find out which frozen pumpkin pie tastes best, and if it even comes close to one that's homemade.

In preparation for our SB LIII party, we put Pulled Pork Sandwiches to the test from BBQ restaurants.  Since Michael LOVES pulled pork sandwiches, and any pulled pork sandwich is a good one, Elizabeth jumped in to save the test!

In addition to the protein bars, protein shakes have made their way onto grocery and convenience store shelves.  We picked up several different brands of chocolate protein shake and gave them a test.  Only one muscled its way to the top!
