THREE-FOR-ONE SNACKFEST

HERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT SNACKS PURCHASED RECENTLY FOR LEISURE-TIME ENJOYMENT IN THE ICE HOUSEHOLD. EACH HAD ITS OWN UNIQUE FLAVOR-PERSONALITY AND AMBIANCE. READ ON FOR THE DETAILS:

1. KROGER BBQ PORK RINDS





THESE WERE TASTY, AND A BARGAIN AT $1.19. JUST A GREAT, CRUNCHY TREAT FOR GRUBBING OUT DURING RESTFUL HOURS WITH BEER OR ICED TEA. NO PRETENTIOUSNESS, NO BOMBAST. A STRAIGHT-UP FEAST-IN-A-BAG!

2. RUDY'S 'FAMOUS' PORK RINDS



THESE RINDS WERE THE OPPOSITE OF NUMBER ONE. ADMITTEDLY, THEY WERE PURCHASED AT BIG LOTS, WHERE I'VE SOMETIMES FOUND FOODSTUFFS THAT WERE WAREHOUSED A BIT TOO LONG. YET THE SELL-BY DATE WAS A MONTH-AND-A-HALF AWAY. SAID PLAINLY, THEY TASTED STALE. JUST NOT A SATISFYING WAY TO NULLIFY MY HUNGER. I SHARED THE LAST HALF OF THIS BAG WITH OUR LABRADOR RETRIEVER. (UNLIKE MYSELF, HE HAD NO ISSUES WITH THE TASTE.) SO GIVE IT ONE THUMB DOWN, BUT A PAW UP.

3. MIKE-SELL'S DILL POTATO CHIPS



I'VE NEVER HAD A BAD PRODUCT FROM MIKE-SELL'S. THEY WERE AVAILABLE IN THE CLEVELAND MARKET BRIEFLY, ABOUT TWENTY YEARS AGO. BUT FOR COMPETITIVE REASONS, THE COMPANY DECIDED TO DROP OUT. THAT WAS A PITY FOR THOSE OF US ON THE NORTHCOAST BECAUSE M-S PRODUCES SOME INCREDIBLE SNACKS. THESE DILL CHIPS WERE AS DELECTABLE AS ANY I'VE TRIED - ON PAR WITH HERR'S FROM PENNSYLVANIA, UNCLE RAY'S, OR SOME CANADIAN VARIETIES I'VE TRIED. GREAT STUFF!
