So... my last three weeks worth of graze boxes all arrived this week.
@_@ I'd reported box 4 as lost in the mail since it was 3 weeks overdue.
That one came today.
So anyway box 4 was 50/50 sweet and savory.
Honeycomb
crunch - Liked. The crunch was more than I expected despite the name.
Tasty but maybe a little bit too sweet for something I want on the
regular.
My Thai - LOVED this. I'm noticing that I really love
the relishes and dippers, and this was no exception, sweet and mildly
spicy. Not hot at all.
Summer Berry Compote - Loved. The little
biscuit/cookies tasted a little stale but this was the box that was
overdue, so I'm chalking it up to that. The jam was fantastic.
Black
Pepper Pistachios - I am never going to not like pistachios. I think
this has been my favorite so far. That little bite of the pepper is
fantastic!
Box 5, I ate earlier this week. It arrived Monday I think. This box was mostly sweet.
Hot
Cross Yum - This was amazing. It tasted almost exactly like a hot cross
bun, from what I can recall. A fantastic ratio of spice to fruit and
nut. I loved it.
Fruit and Seed Flapjack - I actually really
loved this. The soft chewy bar is much better with the crunch of the
seeds and the sweet of the fruit.
Herby Bread Basket - Loved this all the way, very flavorful, like a really tasty snack mix.
Marvelous
Macaroon - LOVED this. I've found these mixes taste much better
together than as separate parts, so I take a small pinch and taste, and I
ate this so fast I barely tasted it.
This week's box, arrived today! This is faster than usual. This box was mostly sweet.
Florentine - This was my first repeat. I had this in my very first box, and loved it. It's still very tasty!
Boston
Baguettes - I was pretty disappointed with this. The BBQ relish tastes
more like vaguely spiced ketchup, so it was too sweet and too tomato
flavored for me to enjoy as much. I was hoping for something a bit more
savory like the Carolina style BBQ sauce which is vinegar based. I've
actually trashed this one because while I don't HATE it, there are other
foods I would much rather receive.
Tropical Daiquiri - Really
like this. It's very tart, and sweet but not TOO sweet. I think it's the
lime raisins that pull this together. Surprising cause I tend not to
like raisins but I've liked them so far with the Graze mixes.
Mississippi
BBQ Pistachios - Initial reaction, the seasoning is very mild. There is
definitely a good flavor, but not as bold as I expected. REALLY like
this. The flavor gets subtly layered with each successive nut.
Over all I have liked or loved the majority of the foods sent in my Graze boxes. :]
