Never tried these before but intrigued by the color. Put them in the slow cooker (after soaking overnight) for about 12 hours on low. Very hearty, great on salads, or just to eat. They are very large beans and keep their color even after cooking. Good service from Barry Farm. Will order more from them in the future.

Our Aunty from Seattle came to Maui to visit and brought us this Smokehouse Salmon Chowder. I had it for several months already keeping it for just the right time. I finally made it last night cause it was a rain cold night. OH My GOD!!! It is so delicious! Lots of texture to the soup so to me it's called a hearty soup. Taste was fabulous too. I'm going to buy them to give for Christmas gifts now.
Maybe I'll create it to be a sauce for a Salmon bake, yea? So ono!

I never recieved this item. I wrote the company and told them but they never replied. Soooo, I can't tell you how it is.

Farro is emmer, an early form of wheat eaten by the Etruscans and their conquerors, the Roman legion. Giacomo Santoleri grows this ancient wheat on a small farm on the hilly grounds of the Abruzzo countryside. He uses traditional methods and produces his products without the use of pesticides or chemicals. With a flavor somewhere between barley and wheat, farro makes a delicious soup and cold salad. Santoleri's farro is dense and chewy with a pronounced wheaty flavor. It is terrific in farrotto, farro risotto.

Veal Demi-Glace Review

Veal Demi-Glace
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am lucky to live near a grocery that stocks this. It is a wonderful item that adds *restuant-quality* to your soups, stocks, sauces and flavored rices. Including a teaspoon of this to a recipe (even if you have alread added stock) brings a body and taste that isn't usually expected in cooking outside a professional cooking.
I have tried this flavor as well as the chicken and roasted chicken and they are all excellent. It is the essenese of stock cooked down to a very thick paste/gel consistancy. You can use this in water to make a stock but I have found that adding a small amount to what ever stock you normally use is very good and more cost effective.
Once opened it will stay good a little while in the fridge. I have kept it about a week after opening. If I am going to have it longer I will portion it up into small pieces and freeze the pieces individually.
It is not a salted item like a soup stock cube which is very welcome. If you want more flavor you just can add more without worrying that you item will become so salty you won't be able to eat it. You can season according to your own preference.
I have found this a great help to add to home made soup stocks that are a bit weak in body and flavor. I have also added it to things like risotto and stir frys. Its a wonderful, although not inexpensive pantry item.

Since I can't find good salt in my nearby supermarket, this salt is excellent to use in cooking! It brings out soo much more flavor in food than regular iodized salt. I can really tell the difference when I use this. You don't need a lot, compared to the regular store-bought brand. You end up putting so much MORE salt using the regular salt in your food especially when you are trying to cook healthy. So i find this salt so much better.

compared to their other soups(Lentil and Southwest Black bean are s'wonderful!) The chicken and wild rice soup uses quality ingredients, but falls short in overall value. Over 2/3 of each can is broth as well as being packed with sodium(39% of reccomended daily intake in one serving). Again the rice, chicken, other vegetables are quality ingredients,only they are sparingly portioned.

1.1 lbs Organic Farro - Triticum Dicoccun - ItalyFarro, an ancient grain also known as emmer, is believed to be one of the original strains of cultivated wheat in the world. It has always been prized for its ability to grow well in poor soil. This farro is from Umbria. It looks a lot like a cross between barley and brown rice, and it's naturally high in fiber and higher in protein, B complex vitamins and both simple and complex carbohydrates than wheat. Farro has made a big comeback recently, showing up in restaurants across the country alongside the more familiar polenta and couscous."Restaurant chefs have embraced farro, a grain long beloved in Italy for its nutty flavor, chewy texture, and full flavor. It makes a great side for everything." Bon Appetit, March 2007Preparation and Serving SuggestionsPrepare Farro as you would rice. Bring water (2 to 1 proportion) to a boil, add farro and simmer for 20-25 minutes.Farro's nuttiness and chewy texture make it perfect for soups, Umbrian Summer Salad, Pinto Bean and Farro Soup.The soup, made with fresh onion, thyme, tomatoes, rich beef stock and red wine is one of our favorite preparations. Drizzle the soup with Umbrian olive oil and freshly-grated Parmigiano-Reggiano and you have a delicious, hearty and healthy meal.Storage: As with all grains, store farro preferably in a sealed glass or plastic container, and keep in a dark, cool cupboard. Keeps up to a year.

First of all, I have to say... I did not like it much at ALL with the special mayo pack or whatever. But fortunately, that's separate, and if you leave it out, this stuff is positively awesome.
I first tried this by ordering it online. I fortunately bought two. The first I tried with all the flavorings on it that it came with, and didn't like it. The second I ate without the mayo pack. Then I was hooked. Sadly the place I bought it online stopped carrying food, and I can no longer afford it with the ridiculous shipping charges most places demand. However I have seriously gone to another city, as excited about getting this as anything else I might get there (destination was a Japanese "mall").
Note that this is NOT the nasty junk they sell in stores in English packaging as "Yakisoba"! (Which was so bad I couldn't stand to get it again.) I have not found anything as tasty as this is, in terms of instant noodle dishes. So if you are crazy about imported instant noodle dishes... especially if you don't mind spicy... this is for you.
It has been years since I've been able to get it, and every so often I will still check the 'foreign foods' isle of my grocery store, hoping against hope they will get it. And every time I dig into other such dishes, I can't help but wish it were this instead!

I got this from our friends in the UK. We passed it around as a conversation piece with great hilarity. Finally opened it up after 6 months. It is quite good..a little bland..but warm it up in the microwave and it tastes better. Its a mix of crumbly cake and raisins. We don't take it seriously enough for the quaility of the contents only for the funny name.
I'd recommend Heinz sticky toffee pudding way over this. when you dump out the sticky toffee pudding on a plate, the sauce covers the top and sides like a creme caramel pudding. Nuke it in the microwave and we put it in the middle of the table and we all dig right in with vanilla ice cream on the side. YUMM-O !

Paldo Hwa Ramyun - Spicy Noodles,4.2-Ounce Pouch (Pack of 20) Review

Paldo Hwa Ramyun - Spicy Noodles,4.2-Ounce Pouch (Pack of 20)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
yes, it's full of salt, msg and other lovely stuff, but it can't be any worse than what you eat at many typical restaurants. i can handle a LOT of spice. seriously. in fact, sometimes i add a squirt of sriracha sauce on each bite when feeling indulgent. but this noodle would be spicy for some - if you can't handle the heat, get the sapporo ichiban's ramen. (or add less soup base, but more on that later.)
if you don't count the high-priced specialty brand that i can't remember the name of (eh, it wasn't that good), this product also seems to have the distinction of being the only vegetarian instant ramen, thanks to the more accurate labeling of international food products. in case you're a vegetarian searching for the ingredients, here it is as printed on the package, complete with spelling errors:
noodles: wheat flour, modified starch, palm oil, salt, gluten.
soup base: salt, monosodium l-glutmate, sugar, capsicum, ginger powder, red pepper, bean protein.
dried vegetables: green onion, mushroom, carrot, red pepper cabbage.
since one package contains almost 100% recommended intake of sodium for a petite person, this is what i do. besides adding my own fresh veggies, i pour the water out directly from the pot after cooking (thus leaving some in there), then i only add the half of the soup base. i have no desire to drink the liquid part, and i think some of the palm oil also gets release from the noodles. i skip the dried vegetable packet since they just look gross.
you could probably find this at a better price at your local korean grocery market if you have one nearby, but you can't beat the convenience of amazon. for about $1 each subscribe-and-save, it's worth it for me.
