AnnaBanana says "Life is not without its disappointments!" about Eckrich Reduced Fat Hard Salami

AnnaBanana — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 17:47:10 GMT

Into each life a little rain must fall and alas, trying this product was an experience which landed with a thud. I had high hopes for Eckrich Reduced Fat Hard Salami and was disappointed. This is not to say that this doesn't taste right. Unlike Kraft Fat Free American Cheese, I can imagine someone eating this with gusto. Personal tastes sometimes vary in food and another eager eater might enjoy this very much ... but I didn't. — STATS: — I bought this Eckrich Reduced Fat Hard Salami from a Deli department and there is no indication of exactly what constitutes a serving. I purchased the meat thin-cut so let's say that a single serving would amount to four thin slices ... enough for a nice sandwich. A serving contains 80 calories with 45 calories from fat. There are five grams total fat, two grams saturated fat, 25 mg. cholesterol, 390 mg. sodium, one gram total carbs, zero each dietary fiber and sugars, seven grams protein, and...

nancyphilpot says "they are better then any other hot dog I have ever tasted." about koegel koegel hot dogs

nancyphilpot — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 17:59:55 GMT

The first time I had koegel hot dogs was when I came to Flint Michigan. Koegel hot dogs are made in Flint Michigan and are sold at most restaurants in this area. Now Koegel hot dogs are the only hot dogs I bring into my house and the only hot dogs my mom and dad eat and have there in there house. Koegels make several different kinds of meats and they are all...

AnnaBanana says "I believe in miracles since this came along!" about Eckrich Lite Sausage

AnnaBanana — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 14:04:37 GMT

Eckrich Lite Smoked Sausage is one of those rare birds -- a healthier alternative to a traditional product which tastes not only just as good but even better. It grills or bakes just as beautifully and tastes great. Even if you still prefer the taste of the famous Eckrich Smoked Sausage, this is a wonderful option for people who are trying to manage the amount of fat in their diet. (Note: This lighter version might not be just the ticket for people who are primarily concerned with sodium intake.) — The addition of ground turkey to pork and beef lowers the fat and punches up the protein value, creates a more pleasing texture and a chewy crisp crust which is especially delightful, and enhances the smoked, spicy Eckrich flavor. — STATS: — A 2-oz. serving of Eckrich Lite Smoked Sausage contains 120 calories with 80 calories from fat. There are eight grams total fat, three grams saturated fat,...

NattScatt says "Put these on your grill and people will come from all over" about Johnsonville Beer Brats

NattScatt — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 20:27:59 GMT

I love Johnsonville Beer Brats. They are great. I buy them to put on the grill. For some reason, they just seem to be the perfect grilling sausage. I'm not sure if it's the unique blend of meats and spices or just the way they plump up on the grill. Maybe it's because they deliver all that flavorful juiciness into your mouth from the first bite to the last. Whatever the reason, no barbecue, cook-out or grill fest is complete without Johnsonville Brats ( regular, beer, Cajun or cheddar). — I buy all of the favors of Johnsonville Brats. The Cajun flavor is not available in my area but my mom buys them for me and sends them. I like the Beer Brats best. They don't taste anything like beer, but there is a slight hint of another flavor that isn't in the regular brats. The Cheddar Brats are good, too, but the cheese is a little salty. I make sure I always keep the regular flavor on hand. They are good...

GrandPoohbah says "Fabulous chef quality meal!" about Purdue chicken in a bag

GrandPoohbah — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 16:16:40 GMT

Your "bird in a Bag" was a find during a local supoer market promotion. We roasted it per direction but it needed 20 more minutes to temp out in the breast. It was the BEST we have ever had in the prepared catagory of any food! We love most of the Schwan's frozen product but this was out of this world delicious! We had a guest who raved and raved and then raved even more when she found we had not seasoned it. I cooked professionally for a few years so people expect good food when they dine with us,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but this guest was on the floor when I told her the truth! She will be your next devotee! — — Thanks for a great product Purdue! — — ROBERT...

SunnyBeaches says "Plumpy, Juicy, Cheesy!" about Johnsonville Cheddar Brats

SunnyBeaches — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 15:05:40 GMT

Johnsonville Brats always go great at any bar-b-que! Quick to fix, taste great and loved by pretty much everyone from young kids to octogenarians! They come in assorted flavors.......Cheddar, beer, original, etc. I sometimes fry them, slice them into pieces about 1/2" thick and serve them with fried or scrambled eggs for breakfast. I also fry them, chop them into small pieces and use in omelettes or breakfast burritoes. Quick and...

vibher says "The best dog on the market." about Ball Park Beef Franks

vibher — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 18:28:23 GMT

These are the best dogs on the market. It doesn't matter if you're grilling, frying or boiling these. They always come out great. Fast and easy to make. I use only the beef and have never tried the pork, chicken and whatever. ...

wellow — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 16:54:22 GMT

Lately I have become a BIG fan of PURDUE CHICKEN. My family enjoyed a large box of PURDUE CHICKEN BREASTS, and they were very juicy, and easy to cook. The fact that they were also healthy for us to eat was just another plus. — Nutrition Facts — Serving Size: 4 oz. —

kevin says "Johnsonville Beer Brats are a summer staple for me" about Johnsonville Beer Brats

kevin — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 15:02:31 GMT

I don't cook much at all, but come summertime I do like to try my hand at grilling. Being a Midwesterner I love a good brat and my go to is the Johnsonville Beer Brat. This brat has a mildly spicy flavor with a hint of beer and cooks up deliciously soft with a slightly tough skin. You should be able to find these brats in your local grocer's frozen meats section. — — Since they come frozen, I like to simmer the brats in a good strong pilsner or IPA to impart even more beer flavor before grilling them. You also don't want to throw a frozen brat on the grill! BTW, "beer boiled brats" is a misnomer, you don't want to actually boil them, as you run the risk of exploding the skins. Also you don't need to grill brats on the hottest settings for the same reason...you don't want to pop the skins...wait for your coals to ash over and turn often for a consistent brown on all sides of the sausage. — — I serve my brats butterflied on a...

katlinbarbera says "melts in your mouth, delicious" about Oscar Mayer Hot Dogs Jumbo Beef

katlinbarbera — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 17:59:11 GMT

This is the best brand for hot dogs. It is the exmple of a perfect american hot dog. Tasty and deliciously melting. Also perfectly juicy and tasteful. you feel like eating one more (that's the only problem!). Boiled or grileed, it doesn't matter, the taste and characteristics are the same. If you don't know it, try...

kid-kansas says "A pool party is just not complete without brats on the grill!" about Johnsonville Johnsonville Brats

kid-kansas — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 16:25:47 GMT

I like to treat my guests to some good eats when we have people over to enjoy a nice dip in our pool. One of my favorite treats would be grilled brats, extra large buns and some cold drinks (both beer and pop....soda for some of you...lol) — — Johnsonville Brats — — There are several varieties of these wonderful brats, our favorite are the beer brats and the cheese brats. I cook them on both my wood smoker and my gas grill depending on what mood I am in. My favorite way is on the wood grill which is a smoker grill and the wood of choice is mesquite as it marries very well with Johnsonville Beer Brats! — — First I will sear them all the way around and then move them to the opposite end of the grill, adjust the dampers and let them slow cook in mesquite smoke. When they are ready I will toast the buns and then its time to enjoy a great brat! I like mine with chopped onions and a splash of Jack Daniel's BBQ sauce plus a splash of some Jack Daniels...

SUZANNE2008 says "My son's friends always stay to eat when these are on the grill." about Omaha Steak Gourmet franks

SUZANNE2008 — Fri, 30 May 2008 18:47:25 GMT

I am not a big hot dog fan, burgers are for me, but everyone else in my family cannot get enough of these Omaha Steak gourment franks. They are worth the money. You just have to find a good deal and they are always available. Omaha Steaks are always offering free shipping and sales. We always have them in the freezer for the hot dog lovers all thru the...

stef42678 says "Great for Vegetarian Sandwiches" about Lightlife Smart Deli - various flavors

stef42678 — Fri, 30 May 2008 08:12:00 GMT

I love to eat sandwiches for lunch and even sometimes dinner and these Smart Deli slices are a great way to add some protein to your vegetarian diet, or get a similar meatless deli taste for those who eat meat but want to eat healthy. Lightlife Smart Deli slices come in a few varieties and they taste great on a fresh loaf of bread. These slices are all natural made with a veggie protein with no trans fats and are really tasty. The choices are pepperoni which is a little spicy, turkey which tastes freshly roasted, ham, bologna, and chickn which is my favorite because it is blended with herbs and spices for a really great taste. Each variety is sold in a small box of about 12 slices so they make about 4 sandwiches per box which can be expensive, but this is a high quality lean veggie protein and is my favorite meat alternative when comparing deli slices. Each serving is about 80 calories with 0 grams of fat, so it is a great meal. I love the soft...

stef42678 says "Great Veggie Meal Starter" about Lightlife Smart Strips

stef42678 — Fri, 30 May 2008 08:05:18 GMT

If you love the taste of meat but are trying to eat healthy or you are a vegetarian who needs a little protein LightLife Smart Strips are the perfect meal starter. These are a vegetarian solution to chicken caesar salads, meat lasagna, steak fajitas and chicken stir frys because they are meatless but have the texture of real meat. These strips are fully cooked so they can be enjoyed warm or cold and come in a few savory varieties. I love the savory chickn in a caesar salad, but they also have steak, lemon pepper, and chickn cutlets fillets. I love the texture of these smart strips because they are very light and moist and not dry and chewy. The Smart Strips are about 80 calories per serving, the chickn tenders are about 150 calories, and the fillets are about 160 calories with less than 7 grams of fat per serving. Each of the Smart Strips varieties come in a small box and can be expensive but are a great solution for a quick meal with little prep...

oma12 says "very authentic" about Johnsonville Stadium Brats

oma12 — Fri, 30 May 2008 03:48:10 GMT

I like to fix Johnsonville Stadium Brats for a quick and healthy meal. I serve the Brats on a whole wheat bun with deli style mustard, German style Sauerkraut and homemade baked beans. I have relish and ketchup for those who like the Brats hot dog style. This is a great German lunch and/or...

pickie98 says "won't eat any other, anywhere!!" about koegel koegel viennas

pickie98 — Thu, 29 May 2008 22:06:10 GMT

Koegel vienna franks are made only in MIchigan, which has the strictest food standars in the US. HTese are natural casing franks, but Koegel's also makes the same frank in askinless form. I wil not eat any thing else, will not eat any franks from other...

wherrima says "Hots with flavor" about Oscar Mayer white hots

wherrima — Thu, 29 May 2008 19:35:19 GMT

Oscar hots are the best with the extra skin, especially the white hots, split open after cooking then add ketchup, mustard and relish. They even taste good with chili and beans, a little cheddar cheese on top. The red hots are just as good, they have extra flavor and always bring the best at a cook out. ...

parkerv says "Wal-Mart is more than a department store!" about Wal-Mart Ground Beef

parkerv — Thu, 29 May 2008 18:56:18 GMT

Most people look at you crazy when you tell them that you do your grocery shopping at Wal-Mart. I know, many years ago, when I went to my first "super" store, I thought it was ridiculous to sell grocery items with other non-grocery items. However, since that time, I've become a fan of shopping at Wal-Mart for my food items. First of all it is less expensive for me than shopping in a standard grocery store. Especially since they have a price match program where they will match any competitor's sale price if you bring in the sale paper. The meats that I've purchased over the past couple of years have been good quality meats. I have found that Wal-Mart does not re-pack old meat (or at least I've not come across any). If you don't know what that is, let me tell you. Some meat counters will take packaged ground beef that has been out and hasn't sold and re-pack it. They open the old pack and conceal the old meat inside some fresh ground...
