Good point Paul.  Glad my Borbon doesnt do that ;^)  One of the reasons I liked Pinnacle, fla vor prevailed at 10K feet.

I’ll be posting a bunch of reviews starting in January. I have picked up a number of newer brands that I haven’t reviewed before :-)

I just reviewed Poe & Co Folk Foods, and coming up tomorrow is Yum Pouch. Both are vegan friendly.

The Yumbini beans and rice packs review.  At first I thought they were a little bland, but after a couple bites I rrealized I liked it better than super strong rice and bean flavoring.  They were an 7-8/10 for teast.  But they are $5 a pack, $22 for 4 pack sampler (which is what I got).  Packs are 3.5 oz, about 5″x5″ in size.  So a bit expensive for what it is.

I could have easily eaten 2, making it $10 all of a sudden.  I will probably buy some more to supplement another meal.  Would be good in a tortilla supplemented with cheese, avocado, etc.  These are probbaly in the category of something you could premake yourself.  But as you know, I dont want to premake anything.  There may be other single serve brand options out there as well that arent $5 each.

These might be more cost effective.  Have tried these before, but flavor wasnt that good or was too strong:

I recently reviewed the Bowl & Kettle meals – the grits one is one of the best meals I have ever reviewed! Delicious!

I’ll check the Yumbini out!

I had another Yumbini and it was just meh.  Im going to try some Virgo or Iberia bulk ones – curious to see if there is a notable difference.

I didnt realize the Street Corn n Grits had mushrooms in it!  YGuck.  Mushroom no bueno  ;^T)  Was very mushroomy tasting .  I wish there had been more full corn kernals,  However,  my mushroom-loving wife really liked it.
