    Tried halva!! AMAZING! I would say its like a cotton candy made with sesame seed butter and nuts. So light and fluffy and delicious. This brand was absolutely delicious. I bought it from whole foods.8ylpnyje36bv.jpg
    vvg4ksgr99cz.jpg8abmixaywjhm.jpgryg07cwekbmw.jpg
    It looks gross like tuna lol, but tastes amazing!



    Also tried one of these bars. 10/10 They are tiny but sooo good. Great pistachio taste. You guys were right they melt in your mouth. I would say the whole foods one was more cotton candy like, but these had a different texture.
    rd34z0qeq0gq.jpg Remind me of the caked part of almond or cashew butter at the bottom of the jar when you didnt mix it.o9ij38jrf7my.jpg


    Had a nice little testing adventure the past week trying all this turkish pistachio stuff lol

    I LOVE HALVAH, LOVE LOVE LOVE

    Still have been obsessed with these bars! I wish they were bigger, lol.

    I actually found that store a few weeks ago before I was going to order and really was excited about the sugar free! May have to indulge and try them out!

    I have previously been disappointed by B&J vegan ice creams, but this one was EXCELLENT! I wanted to eat the whole pint. I see why it was excellent at 1280 for the pint.....

    It had nice gobs of caramel with a creamy coconut taste. I actually am slightly allergic to walnuts and usually can feel a reaction right away. I still eat things anyways though because it is mild, but I did not have any reaction to this. That makes me think they really use peanuts instead because they are cheaper LOL. (My conspiracy theory) It had a nice peanut flavor to it as well and a lot of chocolate chunks. I would actually eat this one again.

    Lastly I tried this Carrot Bacon jerky. It basically was just spicy carrot chips not jerky or baconlike, lol.

    bit of an unpopular opinion but I can't stand Ben and jerry's! With the exception of chunky monkey...

    Also, since I’m back, I need to make sure something is straight! When I was in Iceland I saw these “Maryland” cookies and let me just say... I don’t know if other states here in the US have them but as someone who was born and raised in Maryland this does NOT represent us!!! 😂 Us Marylanders love Berger Cookies, not this dry Famous Amos type cookie 😬 I thought it was HILARIOUS Iceland had them though!

    Things to try if you go to Iceland:
    - Their gelato/ice cream. There’s a gelato shop called Valdis and it is, quite honestly, the best gelato I have ever had. Apparently Icelanders LOVE gelato and ice cream.... I ordered two scoops but then as I was leaving I overheard the guy behind me order SIXTEEN scoops, and as I turned around I saw them piling it in a giant container 🤯
    - Their espresso beverages!!!! As a coffee addict, I was very worried they wouldn’t have good coffee, but as it turns out, they’re fanatics of not just ice cream, but coffee (my heaven)! Our hotel had a full blown self serve espresso machine right in the lobby, stores had complimentary espresso machines to use, and if you finish dinner be prepared to ask if you’d like a cup of “coffee” only to be given a mug filled with straight up shots of espresso LOL
    - hot dogs. After indulging in a $160 7-course meal between my husband and I to try exotic things like puffin and whale (both which are NOT something I recommend, by the way), our tour guide informed us the very next day that Icelanders dont actually enjoy them, they just have to get rid of them so they pass them onto tourists 😂 he said their actual favorite food is hot dogs... which were actually pretty good!!! I’m not a massive hot dog person, but I figured I would include that for those who are!

    P.S. seriously.... don’t do it, don’t ever spend that much money on puffin or whale. Puffin tastes like fishy beef jerky with a horrible aftertaste and whale is like slimy beef liver 😬

    Thank you!!! And YES it is one of my new favorite countries haha! I mentioned previously all the highlights I loved (gelato and coffee mainly), but I forgot to add one thing that @Noreenmarie1234 will probably love: pistachio ice cream and pistachio milkshakes are also VERY popular there! ;)

    I’m not a big fan of ben and jerry either @pancakerunner ! I never understood why they were so popular. I always have just thought they were okay. Not a fan of their dairy free pints but this was on sale so I tried it. It was good but not great or worth the calories. It was just like a salty peanut butter ice cream. I didn’t taste any pretzel chunks which was very disappointing. It kind of tasted like the candy bar halo top but not as good. Would not recommend. It isn’t anything amazing.

    I'm finding that pretty much the bread in the stores here is wiped out. Ezekiel is over in Frozen, and for whatever reason, people completely forget or don't know that it's there. So I've not been hard up for bread! LOL

    I never have had the Asian. I like the honey Dijon and eat it regularly. I also love the balsamic and buy it regularly as well. All of the other dressing are disgusting. The Asian is fantastic! It tastes like a nice Asian sauce on takeout Chinese food. A little bit sweet. Almost like a light version of chicken and broccoli or beef and broccoli sauce. I’ve been putting it on steamed broccoli or stir fried veggies like broccoli pepper onion cauliflower etc.

    It is REALLY good on my tofu rice stir fry. I’ll be buying this again. Not for salads though, lol. For chicken and stir fries.

    really? I have tried this and found it appalling
