Review of Wolfgang Puck Hearty Vegetable Beef Soup, 14.5-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12)

I definitely consider these soups to be over priced but this soup is extremely tasty and well worth the Amazon price after their additional special sale is also deducted.The problem with most canned soups, and this is absolutely no exception, is that the salt content of one can fulfills 100% of every individual's daily requirement of sodium.And they don't even use Sea Salt or other more natural salts instead of the artificially man made damaging chemically altered salt.I know that this salt makes up a good portion of the volume and weight of each can but it is killing our society and should be replaced and eliminated.Someone must know how to 'can' a tasty, lower, good salt soup?

Product Description
Inspected for wholesomeness by U.S. Department of Agriculture. Founder of the famous Spago restaurant, author of best-selling cookbooks and America's most famous chef, Wolfgang Puck created these hearty soups starting with real soup stock. Then he added eight different large-cut vegetables and beef to produce this thick, hearty and delicious soup. The recipe is simple. The finest ingredients and lots of good honest, old-fashioned love.

Review of World Kitchens Original Beef Pepperoni, 16-Ounce Unit (Pack of 2)

We have tried many different kinds of beef sticks, but nothing comes close to these!Our local Costco used to sell them, but they discontinued due to low sales (not from me!).We were thrilled to find them on Amazon, and now have a repeating order set up for each month!Not too soft, not too dry, not greasy (like slim-jims), just the right touch of spice; an all-around great snack!Keep up the good work World Kitchens!

Review of Knorr Beef Rib Flavor Boullion, Granulated, 7.9-Ounce Jars (Pack of 12)

I use this (and the chicken flavor) mostly as a seasoning rather than a soup. Great for stews and such; I like a bit with sauteed or roasted potatoes. Can replace some or all of the salt for different recipes. Price here at Amazon is a deal since I do use enough of this for the 12-pack.

Product Description
Concentrating the flavors of beef ribs and spices.

Review of Wyler's Soup Starter Beef Vegetable, 7.48-Ounce Package (Pack of 8)

I call this product Wyler's Soup Starter - because it's so flexible. I add extra potatoes, carrots, onions and whatever other vegtables I have left over from the week. I also use chicken, beef or vegtable broth instead of water. Every week during the winter I make one or two of these soups. Family and guests always ask for the receipe and I told/tell them to buy these packages and add whatever they like to make it their own. It's the best, and I whole hearly recommend it to every cook to try. I've been using it for many many years and my family always requests my soups during the cold months. Please give it a try; and Wyler's - please get this product back in the stores.. and Amazon -- Thanks so much for carrying these items. I don't mind buying each flavor by the case -- just as long as I can still get this product! Thanks

Review of Lupo's Original Endicott Style Spiedie Marinade Sauce

I spent over 20 years in the Binghamton area and although there are several brands of spiedie sauce, this is absolutely the best. If you marinate the meat for a day or more, the flavor is richer and more fantastic! I highly recommend this to ANYONE! Enjoy!

Product Description
Spiedies, (pronounced "speedies"), are marinated cubes of meat cooked on a skewer. Originally from Italy, this delicacy seems to be found only in the Broome County area of New York State. How and when spiedies came to this area, having never been documented, remains a mystery. Traditionally, spiedies were made from lamb. Today, however, they are made from lamb, pork, chicken, veal, venison, and beef. The cubes of meat are marinated in a sauce as varied as the types of people that enjoy them. The Lupo Family has been selling spiedies in the Binghamton area for over 50 years and would like to introduce them to you.

Review of Slim Jim Beef Jerky, Jalapeno, 1.8-Ounce Packages in 6-Count Boxes (Pack of 2)

I was not pleased with the taste of this jerky.It was nothing more than another cheap, dry, ultra tough, and poor tasting jerky that isn't even very spicy.It's also loaded with MSG if that's a concern for you.I bought a whole box and wound up throwing away the last two packages since they sat around opened for so long as we just couldn't force ourselves to eat anymore of it.This just isn't good jerky.

Review of Pemmican Premium Cut Beef Jerky, Peppered, 1.8-Ounce Packages (Pack of 12)

Pemmican jerky is some of my favorite jerky (outside of the nuggets from Jack Links), although the peppered variety isn't the best I've had from them.I prefer the mesquite or the original.

The jerky is nice and chewy like I like it, but yet not hard as a rock.Amazon in the past has sent me stuff close to expiration, but these had at least a year before it expired.The 1.8oz packs are great also because it's about the perfect amount for a snack.

Review of Tone's Spices (Spice Advice) Spicy Spaghetti Seasoning (* Zesty Italian Pasta Blend 14 oz)

Tone's Tone's Spices (Spice Advice) Spicy Spaghetti Seasoning (* Zesty Italian Pasta Blend 14 oz) is one of our favorites. We used it in developing the recipes in The Collard Patch.We like the coarse blend of onions, garlic, spices, red and green bell peppers, and crushed hot red peppers. This delicious, spicy mix makes great pasta sauce and helps season collard greens.

The first ingredient listed is salt.A two-teaspoon serving supplies almost one fourth the salt that a young healthy person needs in a day's time. As we mature, we need to cut back on our sodium to avoid that silent killer, hypertension.If we weren't concerned that it would run our blood pressure up, we would eat more of it.

If only there could be less sodium, we could enjoy it more often!

Product Description
A spicy, coarse blend of onion, garlic, spices, red and green bell peppers, with an added touch of crushed red pepper for heat. Used to make a delicious, spicy sauce for pasta. This colorful blend has medium sized pieces of peppers, onion and garlic.Serving Suggestions Use as a base for any Italian dish or any tomato based sauce or entree. Mix into bread dough for a colorful and tasty Italian bread. Great as a sauce served on chicken cacciatore, chicken marsala, veal, fish, meatloaf, hamburgers and pasta. Mix with olive oil and toss with pasta. Delicious in pasta salads or mixed with butter for a spicy garlic bread. For 1 quart sauce, mix 1/3 cup Tone's Spicy Spaghetti Seasoning with 30 oz. tomato sauce. Simmer for about 20 minutes.

Review of HOT Beef Jerky by Papa Dan's is called Ring Of Fire for one reason...It will melt your shoes. We use a combination of dry pepper spices as well as southwesten Habanero peppers to bring you a 4 alarm blaze in your mouth. 8 oz. (1/2 lb) bag that you won't want to share. Caution! This is HOT!

Sent these to a friend who rated it the best habanero beef jerky of all the others he's tasted.Too bad, they're so expensive!The price is like ordering the best steak.

Product Description
Caution! This is HOT! If you can't get enough heat from other jerkys, try this. Papa Dan's has blended dry pepper spices with a southwestern Habanero pepper that will melt your shoes.These chunky cuts of USDA choice beef steak have been soaked in this hot sauce marinade for up to 18 hours, then slow cooked to lock in the heat.If you like Cajun, you'll love this one.Our specially designed marinating tumbler slowly churnes the meat in a vacuum chamber. That process opens the pores of the meat and allows all of those hot spices and juices to penetrate deep into the meat. It is HOT all the way through.It is proudly made in the USA because nobody else will try this.Try all of Papa Dan's hot sauces and hot beef stick products.

Believe it or not, I originally bought these for myself. I personally think their great. But, I have to admit that now that my pup has gotten a "taste" of them, I cannot eat alone. They are great for him and in teaching him tricks. If he thinks he'll get a jerky treat, then by all means, he'll roll over.

Review of Earth's Best Organic Creamy Chicken Apple Compote, 4 Ounce Jars (Pack of 12)

My baby enjoyed this flavor when I purchased it at a store. I ordered a case of it from Amazon.the whole case arrived moldy.Each jar popped when I opened it too, showing that it was properly sealed.I contacted Earth's Best.They said they would look into it but would not follow up with me.Given what is going on in our food industry, I will not purchase any more products from this company.It is to scary when feeding a baby.Amazon refunded me but did not take it any further.Be very careful and inform other families too. UPDATE: I was so disappointed with the lack of concern from Earth's Best and Amazon.I contacted the FDA, they referred me to the USDA because the product contained meat.They took it very serious and had also received several complaints.They have come to my house and written a report.If anyone else noticed this problem please contact the USDA (1-888-674-6854).
to report your claim/problem.They will investigate the problem and the Earth's Best Plant to make sure they are following regulations.

Review of Oh Boy! Oberto Thin Style Beef Jerky Original, 3.5-Ounce Packages (Pack of 6)

I have been eating Oberto for more than 20 years . It always has good taste , however , since we can no longer purchase Oberto directly from their web site , the costs have risen considerably . We are no longered offered bits & pieces to purchase at a lower price & that is very irritating since that was what I purchased most of the time-- at a cost 20 to 30% less .

Review of Stonewall's Jerquee, Hot Pastrami, 1.5-Ounce Packets (Pack of 16)

The Hot Pastrami flavor is divine!I like spicy things and just ordered another shipment of these because I went through them faster than I had anticipated.They are moist and chewy, but not so chewy that you're still chewing to make it swallowable after all the flavor's gone.I think they struck a nice balance.

A caveat: If you're used to Tofurky Jurky or Primal Spirit, these will strike you as a little bit airy.Also, these are a bit higher in fat than the other brands: 8 or 9 grams per 160-calorie package.These ones don't really feel too oily in your mouth, though.

and this Brand is simply the worst. i normally get this type of product at Trader Joes, but it's been sometime since they carried Soy Jerky. i did find them here on Amazon. i tried the Tasty Eats soy jerky first. this is very good (the flavors i've tried). then i order this brand (Spice of Life Meatless Jerky) and Primal Strips. the Primal Strips are prettie good. the texture is a tad oily. now the Spice of Life MJ has a great texture, but the taste is really bitter and strong. my Children love regular Beef Jerky and they really like the Tasty Eats Soy Jerky, but they simply hated this brand. my son even said he almost throw-up. i do not recommend this product. stinks for me, because i ordered a box (24 packs). live and learn, right?

Review of Spice of Life Meatless Jerky, Pepperoni, 1.5-Ounce Packets (Pack of 24)

Whoever formulated this couldn't tell the difference between pepperoni and soy.At the risk of looking low-class, pepperoni gets its flavor from salt and oil, not eleven all-natural herbs and spices.Even worse, the flavor is truly vile beyond the ability for words to adequately describe.I shall save this so-called food for torturing the next classmate who says we should, for the good of the environment, discontinue ranching.

Review of Lucky Country Licorice

Lucky Country LicoriceI wasn't expecting much with this stuff. I ordered some of the fruit flavors (pineapple, green apple, black cherry) through a mega blowout sale. My experience with these licorices that originate in Australia is that they're way too soft to be satisfying. I like some chew and gum in my licorice.

Well, surprise surprise, it turns out that this stuff is reasonably chewy. Not incredibly so, but much less soft that the standard Australian varieties. Maybe because this stuff is actually made under license in the US.

The flavors are good--vibrant, but not so sugary sweet that you find your throat hurting (unlike, say, the fruit flavored Twizzler varieties). The chew is good. A (suprisingly) nice surprise.

Review of Spice of Life Meatless Jerky, Teriyaki, 1.5-Ounce Packets (Pack of 24)

We have found one cat and one dog who like this jerky.Every human I've pawned this off on thinks it stinks, so the two animals keep having the opened packages offered to them. I added a couple torn into bits to a squash stew last night, and it almost snuck into the family meal.It added a "meaty" texture as it rehydrated and the flavor fortunately was minimized.Straight out of the bag, these little disks are nasty in flavor and the texture is very, very spongy.The diameter is larger than a nickel, smaller than a quarter.The two animals give it a star, but be careful you only give them one at at time so they don't get sick.Humans polled don't even give it one star.

Review of Golden Valley Natural Buffalo Jerky, Teriyaki, 3.5-Ounce Pouch (Pack of 8)

This jerky sent my husband into joyful MMMMM's.He was afraid he might not get any more, so he voluntarily rationed the package to last as long as he could--one month.

Product Description
Natural buffalo jerky; high in protein, low in fat. Comes from buffalo raised on a ranch without added hormones or antibiotics, and contains no preservatives, no added MSG, no nitrite, no erythorbate, and no artificial ingredients. Golden Valley Natural Buffalo Jerky is only minimally processed. US inspected by the Department of Agriculture.

Golden Valley Natural Meat snacks offer an alternative to the confection and pastry-based protein bars and drink powders. Protein eaten in a natural solid form is much more appealing and satisfies the appetite longer than liquid protein shakes and drink proteins. Our natural meat snacks are many times more convenient, less sticky, and easier to eat than traditional jerky products and meat sticks. In addition to being high in protein and low in fat, many Golden Valley Natural meat snacks contain less sugar and salt than traditional meat snacks off the shelf. Our meat snacks are also devoid of traditional cured meat preservatives, such as nitrite and erythorbate.



About the Brand
Idaho-based Golden Valley Natural specializes in all-natural meat products made from animals that have never received artificial growth hormones or antibiotics, have always been fed a 100% vegetarian diet, do not include artificial ingredients, and are minimally processed. Their ranches were the first in the U.S. to have a non-hormone certified beef herd. Golden Valley Natural owns and operates its own USDA-inspected, state-of-the-art processing plant in Idaho Falls, and has been in the meat-processing business for more than 35 years.

In the words of Roger H. Ball, owner and president of Golden Valley Natural: "Golden Valley Natural Beef comes from cattle that are raised in the lush green pastures and mountains of Idaho. These cattle are accustomed to crisp, clean air and wide-open spaces as nature intended. Golden Valley Natural Beef guarantees that all animals are treated humanely and have never received artificial hormones or antibiotics. I believe in giving cattle a healthy, comfortable environment from birth. I have never used artificial hormones in my cattle, and I never will!"

Review of Premium Canned Ground Beef, 14 oz

The quality of this meat is very good.It is also convenient. It tastes simply, like cooked ground hamburger.You also get alot.That is there are no fillers.When you open the can you'll see the congealed fat, the meat and some juice.If you are health conscious you can easily scoop off the fat.You could also use it all as-is for added flavor.It does cost more than fresh ground beef, but the grocery stores will be impossible to get to when the zombies attack.

Product Description
Our canned ground beef is processed from farm raised beef on Indiana Farms. We process only the finest cuts of the beef, grind, cook and package it under strict USDA inspection. Great for casseroles, chili, sloppy joes, goulash and barbecue. Use in any recipes calling for ground beef. Shelf life is excellent!!! Keep some in the pantry for quick meal preparation.

Review of Jack Link's Beef Jerky, Jalapeno, 1.8-Ounce Packages (Pack of 8)

I love most Jack Links jerky products,however, I was disappointed with this product though it had all the heat - the flavor was lacking true pepper taste. It tasted like a bunch of powdered old HOT spices not a true fresh pepper cure. I think the mistake most people make with hot peppers is not removing the seeds before using, as this can give a bitter as well as hot taste. I have not given up on Jack Links - just ordered their turkey jerky!

Product Description

Review of Jim Beam Peppered Beef Jerky, 1.7-Ounce Bags (Pack of 8)

The beef had good texture, just the right amount of pepper and it did not melt in your mouth like some other famous brands. This size package was good because there never were leftovers to worry about. The size of the pieces varied per package, none were too small.

Review of Jack Link's Beef Steak Nugget, Original Clip Strip, 3.65-Ounce Packages (Pack of 6)

Saw these Beef Steak Nuggets first at a Target Store and decided on a whim to try it... I guess based on the great looking photo on the bag. Wow! Best tasting high-protein snack I have ever had! Now I eat them anytime. Lunch, dinner, whenever I need to take the edge of hunger off, instead of eating a candy bar. Instant energy and fantastic taste. I know, I know... I sound like I work for the company, but I don't. I've actually gotten all my friends and family to try them, and they love them too. I recently also tried their A-1 Steak Sauce version of the Beef Nuggets, and those are not as good. Make sure you get the original.

Review of Stonewall's Jerquee, Mild, 1.5-Ounce Packets (Pack of 16)

I usually love these little treats, but the ones i got must have been sitting around at amazon for a year or so, because they were really hard andunedible. had to give most of them to the dog :(However, the expiration date had not expired (SELLBY NOV07), so i would say Stonewall's needs to move their expiration date up a few months.

Product Description
The incredible, animal free, all natural, jerky substitute! A vegetable protein product. Stonewall's Jerquee is the world's best - tasting vegetarian jerky. It contains all the hearty chewing pleasure of real jerky, without the high concentrations of sterols, antibiotics, growth hormones, and nitrates.

Review of Country Style Canned Beef, 27 oz

This product is excellent. I took a chance on buying a couple of cases of the 14oz cans because there are no preservatives or additives.It is just Beef, salt, and pepper. They actually cook it in the can and it is the most delicious canned mean I've ever eaten.
There is no water added but when you open the can there is plenty of juice, which is great for flavoring soup, chili, or you can even make it into gravy if you want.
I intended to keep it for an emergency food suppy or for camping but I find myself using it all the time not just because its easy but because its so darned good. Beef burgandy is a snap, I also add it to chili beans, in mexican food, and in seveal other recipies.
The chunks really are chunks which are larger than you would typically eat in a bite but that is part of what makes it so versitle.You can cube it down to smaller chunks or you can shred the meat quickly with a fork and it is like having a slow cooked roast.

These beef chunks are tender and delicious, and they are from Indiana U.S.A. Wow, we can still do something right.

I will be buying more without a doubt.

Product Description
Our canned beef is farm raised here in Indiana. We process only the finest cuts of the beef and package it under strict. USDA inspection. Great for casseroles, noodles and barbecue. Use in any recipes calling for beef roasts. Shelf life is great!!! Keep some in the pantry for quick meal preparation. You will love this meat!!!

Review of Jack Link's Jack Pack Pizza Meat Stick/Cheese/Pretzel, 2-Ounce Packages (Pack of 12)

Pepperoni is nice and spicy. But the cheese isn't doing well. Got a box less than two weeks ago and 4 out of 12 (so far) had moldy cheese in them. Very disappointing given the sell-by date is October.

Product Description
Mozzarella flavor, pretzel sticks, pepperoni sticks. 3 Great tastes in one!

Review of Lawry's Perfect Blend Seasoning and Rub: Chicken and Poultry Net Weight 24.5 oz (1.53 lb) Restaurant / Food Service Size Shaker Container

I found this on the spice shelf of my local grocer and decided to give it a try. What a find! Our house smells like a gourmet kitchen every time I use it. It's excellent in the oven and on the grill. Recently, smaller stores stopped carrying the product, so it's a lot harder to find. But it's well worth the trouble. I've tried many other brands of chicken rubs/seasonings (McCormick, etc.) but this one is by far the best.

Product Description
Perfect Grilling and Broiling:Heat grill or broiler.Shake or rub Perfect Blend onto chicken or turkey pieces, using about 2 tsp. per pound.Grill over low heat or broil 5 inches from heat, turning occasionally, until internal temperature reaches 170ºF, about 20 minutes for boneless and about 30 to 40 minutes for bone-in pieces, depending on size. Perfect Roasting and Baking:Shake or rub Perfect Blend over entire surface and inside cavity of whole chicken, or onto chicken or turkey pieces, using about 2 tsp. per pound.Roast in 375ºF oven until internal temperature reaches 180ºF for whole chicken, about 1-½ hours, and 170ºF for pieces, about 30 to 60 minutes. Perfect Burgers:Shake Perfect Blend onto ground turkey or chicken patties using about ½ to 1 tsp. per patty.Grill, pan-fry or broil until internal temperature reaches 180ºF, about 7 to 10 minutes.

Review of Jack Link's Beef Jerky, Jalapeno, 3.65-Ounce Packages (Pack of 6)

This jerky was very tasty.It's now one of my favorite flavors of jack link's.It has a good amount of spice to it, but not so much that it's overwhelming if you eat spicy food regularly.

I love spicy food and eat it regularly, so if you don't have a high tolerance for spicy food, this may be a little too much for you.

Review of Biltong Sliced 8oz

Since moving to the US, I thought my times for enjoying Biltong were long gone. Well, not so. This chewy, flavorsome delght is just about as good as it gets.
I would like to say the bags are too small but that would me being greedy.
If you have never had biltong before, its a little different but after your third peice, you will be ordering again.
Enjoy.
p.s. as for the sausage, did I like? Not so much.

Product Description
