Jimmer, its actually a test product from dh's pasta factory... He brings home all the new stuff, and we get to 'taste-test and sample' it. So far my fave 'test product' was the whole wheat fettucini they made last year, but it didn't fly, so they haven't done it since. A real shame since it was AWESOME! I still salivate when I think of it... yumyumyum. Today's dish (garlic shrimps and fetuccini) was nice, but it had lots of rosemary sprinkled in it, and I have this weird thing where rosemary tastes like MOLD to me. I've learned to ignore that flavour, and not return food in restaurants complaining the food tastes moldy. LOL. Today's dish had a lot of garlic and cheese in it too, so it balanced the (ugh) rosemary flavour. I often wonder what its supposed to taste like, since I've been told it does NOT taste moldy to others. There was a discussion somewhere here on the board, not too long ago, how some folks taste buds are 'programmed' differently than others... and I guess I'm one of 'those'. (shrug) I believe THYME also taste moldy to me, and one other at least... I think... it's cumin. ETA - though it could be an offshoot of my fibromyalgia, cuz we are uber-sensitive to sight, sound, smells, taste, etc.

I don't buy anything that is fat-free because there is a definite taste difference. However, I do buy a lot of reduced fat items and sometimes they taste better. I use reduced fat Peter Pan (well I would again if they put it back on the shelf) and now I can't eat any other kind. Mame, ever since my dad's brain tumor was removed, he can't eat chocolate because it tastes like metal.

I'm with you NT, love the reduced fat Peter Pan and won't eat any other kind now. I think I heard that Peter Pan will be back in stores in June. "Regular" peanut butter now feels slimey to me (must be the word of the day).

Hiya Native & Vnicky! (I just spelled that Vkicky... cute!) Native, fascinating how the brain works (or doesn't)... I am a chocoholic, (don't mean to be flippant,) but I'd really be a lot slimmer if chocolate tasted funky to me. Did your dad experience any other weird food-related changes? I sure hope he's better now... Hugs. Vnicky, I tend to cook rice at home, since I figure the poor guy has to deal with pasta all day. LOL. He JUST brought home 2 huge trays of Lasagna AND Manicotti for the weekend... I love manicotti.... I have to cook them, they are 'raw' right now. We tend to cook them one day and eat them the next cuz pasta always taste better 'the next day'. Tonight we're having lamb-chops, cuz I am in a carnivorous mood AND craving mint jelly to boot. LOL

I've been addicted to corned beef with mayo on toasted raisin-bread sandwiches all week. (I got creative when we ran out of rye bread.) Yummy-yum-um!!!! PS/ We bought Hellmans's mayo instead of Kraft Miracle Whip cuz of all the raves here at the CH... it's not bad, but it has no flavour... it's just blah. So we're going back to our (sweet) Kraft Miracle Whip, once we get through this stuff.

No, Scoot, they were frosted! I'm a little concerned; however, that you only had 1 taco supreme. All that food and I'd be ralphin like I was on Survivor and ate a creepy crawler or somethin.

Well, in my defense they were oatmeal, cranberry walnut (and white chocolate chips), so they were healthy!

Lol, Escapee! I love anyone who eats non-traditional meals! That now includes Sea, who ate a great "bug" onion roll. I always wondered what those dark things were on the top of the roll. I had always assumed they were burnt onions, who knew?
