Taste Test – Treats International (Peru)

Cratejoy Treats International, Peru, South America, Taste Test

This month’s subscription box from Treats International is from Peru. The box had all sweet snacks and the quality of the offerings were top notch. Alex and I both rated this box higher than any snack box we had received from SnackCrate, Universal Yums or Treats International! We did not receive any box from Peru previously so we cannot compare between subscription services. Alex scored the box 7.83 out of 10 and I gave it a 7.67 out of 10. Most impressive neither of us scored any snack lower than 7 out of 10. Forget Machu Picchu go to Peru for the snacks.

Taste Test – HelloFresh (Peppercorn Dijon Chicken)

HelloFresh, Taste Test

Peppercorn Dijon Chicken was tonight’s HelloFresh meal. This is the second mustard based sauce we had from them and it turns out to be one of Alex’s favorite types of topping. The side dishes are not usually a highlight but the kale salad was a favorite for all three of us. Rita makes a sauteed kale dish to go with her rice & beans so we eat this vegetable quite a bit but always cooked. This is the first time we had kale raw and it was exceptional. Main dish 7 out of 10, Kale salad 10 out of 10 for a cumulative rating of 8 out of 10.
