TIP OF THE DAY: Scream For Ice Cream

July 2, 2009 at 6:59 am · Filed under Ice Cream-Sorbet-Yogurt, Tip Of The Day

July is National Ice Cream Month and THE NIBBLE has labored to track down the very best. Perhaps you’d like a scoop of Molasses Tipsycake Ice Cream from LaLoo’s, or a cone of Strawberries, Sour Cream, and Brown Sugar Ice Cream from Dr. Bob’s. The Sweet Corn Ice Cream from Palapa Azul is another unusual winner.

TIP OF THE DAY: Unusual Ice Creams

July 1, 2009 at 6:59 am · Filed under Food Holidays, Ice Cream-Sorbet-Yogurt, Tip Of The Day

Today is Creative Ice Cream Flavor Day. Our wine editor is in demand for his beet, lavender and saffron ice creams—and he even makes ice cream from rare black truffle. If you don’t have time to make something special, look in your specialty foods store. One of our favorites, Reed’s Ginger Ice Cream (available at Whole Foods Markets, Trader Joe’s and elsewhere), comes in Original, Green Tea Ginger and Chocolate Ginger—each exquisite. One scoop of each—a dance of ginger ice creams—would make a memorable dessert. You can use them to top regular or chocolate pound cake, and apple pie, too.

PRODUCT: Put A Cheese On The Barbie For Me

July 1, 2009 at 6:57 am · Filed under Cheese-Yogurt-Dairy, Giftable, Kitchenware-Tabletop

Barbecued cheese? Well, in a way, with the Barbeclette from Boska Holland (http://boskaholland.com). This kitchen gadget (or more accurately, BBQ gadget) lets you melt cheese on the barbie, raclette style—hence the name (barbecue + raclette = Barbeclette). Cute, huh?

What do do with barbie-melted cheese?

  • Melted cheese on burgers, franks, chicken, steak, grilled veggies.
  • Melted cheese in a bun or on a baguette for vegetarians.

The Barbeclette is less than $14.00 on Amazon. Simple and fun, bring one as a gift (perhaps with some cheese) the next time you’re invited to a barbecue. You’ll be the hit of the party.

Place a piece of cheese in the Barbeclette and grill, baby, grill.
  • Explore cheese, cheese pairings, and our favorite artisan cheeses in our Cheese Section.

 There’s a new brand of chicken in town with a gleaming badge of purity. Just Bare Chicken was selected by the National Grocers Association as one of the top five new products for 2009 and by the NIBBLE editors as the best-tasting chicken we’ve had in a long time. It’s fresh and all natural, with no antibiotics, no hormones and farm-to-fork traceability. But we’d pay double for chicken that tastes this good.

Read our review of Just Bare chicken, available nationally at SuperTarget stores plus Byerly’s, Hy-Vee, Lunds and and other regional grocery chains.

TOP PICK OF THE WEEK: Colorado Mountain Wine Jelly

June 30, 2009 at 7:00 am · Filed under Jam-Peanut Butter, Top Pick Of The Week

If you’ve had wine jelly, it was most likely served over a brick of cream cheese with crackers—and hopefully a glass of wine or two. That’s not a bad start, but a good wine jelly is a gourmet delight that transcends cream cheese and crackers. Armed with the right serving suggestions, it’s not only a wonderful item for your own pantry, but a special yet inexpensive house gift, stocking stuffer, gourmet gift basket component and corporate gift, not to mention a gift for wine lovers. In fact, anyone who enjoys fine food will want to be clued in to how versatile a good wine jelly can be!

Colorado Mountain Jams & Jellies uses wines from top Colorado wineries, and the result is sit-up-and-take-notice. If you’ve never thought of serving a wine jelly with fish, poultry, meat, cheese and ice cream, it’s time to put on your thinking cap.

Read the full review for ideas on what foods you can pair with these delicious wine jellies, and other ways to enjoy them.
