Kraft - Philadelphia Spinach & Artichoke Cream Cheese Spread Review

I love Philly Cream Cheese Spread, and usually get the strawberry variety to slather onto Keebler Club Crackers.When I was given the opportunity to taste new varieties, I jumped at the chance. I chose Spinach & Artichoke over the Sundried Tomato variety, mainly because I like spinach more than tomatoes. Also, I was afraid the tomato variety would look and taste more like tomato aspic (which I dislike even more than anything else with tomatoes in it).

I chose to pair the spread with Carr's Crackers (a slightly lighter, tastier English version of a Ritz Cracker), mainly because I don't like Triscuit or Wheat Thins and I couldn't find my first choice, Keebler Club Crackers.

I was expecting a stronger spinach flavor, more along the lines of a dip. The artichoke flavor is almost not even a factor. I could see the bits of artichoke, but unless I picked it out and ate it alone, I couldn't taste it. The spinach flavor and texture stood out far more prominently and even then, it was still mild.

All in all, it's a good addition to the Philly Spread line. It'll probably do well with people who don't like sweet spreads.  I'll probably buy it again (once I've gone through this little tub), but I'll buy it along side my personal favorite, Strawberry.
