Taste Test Dummies

Which Aged Cheddar is best?  Looking over the backlog of episodes, one category jumped out to us as being unfairly neglected.  We have reviewed string cheese in the past, but the list ends there (unless you count Oreos with Cheese Whiz).  This week we are going to ease our way in with some aged cheddar.  The competitors are Cabot, Cracker Barrell, and Kerrygold.  Please like and subscribe and if you have any suggestions, let us know by tweeting us @tastetestdummies or email us at [email protected].

Which Gruner Veltliner is best? This week we are back trying out wine, and this time we have 3 Austrian Gruner Veltliner.  For the non Austrian listeners, this is a white wine known to be of higher acidity and also drier than most white wines. The competitors are Biokult, Hasen Sprung, and Pratsch.  Please like and subscribe and if you have any suggestions, let us know by tweeting us @tastetestdummies or email us at [email protected].

Which Pisco is best? Fresh off his trip to Peru, Nick wanted to bring something unique from his travels to try.  Pisco is an unaged brandy most commonly made in Peru and Chile.  The most common way to drink this liquor is in a Pisco sour, but this week we will be trying out 4 brands neat to see what Pisco has to offer.  The competitors are Inca Pisco, Lablanco, Santa Maria Magdalena, and Taberno.  Please like and subscribe and if you have any suggestions, let us know by tweeting us @tastetestdummies or email us at [email protected].

Which Strawberry Soda is best? This week we take another plunge into the world of fruit sodas by trying some Strawberry soda.  Usually with similar products we try to bring in the winners of past episodes, but unfortunately Welch's has made their offering impossible to find.  Instead we will stick with stalwarts (Crush and Fanta) being joined by two new commers (Faygo and Jarritos).  Please like and subscribe and if you have any suggestions, let us know by tweeting us @tastetestdummies or email us at [email protected].

Which Rose Prosecco is best? A while back we compared the Proseccos of three brands, La Marca, Mionetto, and Ruffino.  This week in an (accidental?) celebration of New Years, we are doing a rematch of these three brands but instead with their Rose variety.  Please like and subscribe and if you have any suggestions, let us know by tweeting us @tastetestdummies or email us at [email protected].

Which Ginger Ale is best?  Last time we did Ginger Ale we brought in some more obscure competitors in hopes of getting more ginger flavor.  This plan didn't work out super well so now the big names in the Ginger Ale industry are here to see if they can do any better.  The competitors are Canada Dry, Schweppe's, Seagram's and Vernor's.  Please like and subscribe and if you have any suggestions, let us know by tweeting us @tastetestdummies or email us at [email protected].

Which Boneless hot wing is best?  This week we bring in some popular hot wings from national food chains.  The first two contenders are a little obvious with Buffalo Wild Wings and Wing Stop.  The last restaurant to be included was Applebees simply because there is no Hooters anywhere near us, and Applebees has a Hot Boneless Wing on their menu.  Please like and subscribe and if you have any suggestions, let us know by tweeting us @tastetestdummies or email us at [email protected].

Which Fruit Punch is best?  This week Vivi comes back and we bring in a juice with the intention of changing some minds.  Fruit Punch is a term that causes all three of us to shy away, but in this episode we will try out 4 Fruit Punch juices to see if we can get past out pre conceived notions.  The contenders are Juicy Juice, Simply, V8 (fruit medley) and Welch's.  Please like and subscribe and if you have any suggestions, let us know by tweeting us @tastetestdummies or email us at [email protected].

Which Japanese Curry sauce mix is best?  This week we make try three different pre made Japanese curry sauces.  In order to make this applicable to a real setting we added in some vegetables, served over rice, and added some pork Katsu.  The contenders are S&B Golden Curry Hot, S&B Curry Sauce, and Vermont Curry Hot.  Although two of the contenders seem similar, we find out that the "golden" does in fact make a difference.  Please like and subscribe and if you have any suggestions, let us know by tweeting us @tastetestdummies or email us at [email protected].
