Yeah, Not so Much . . .

These samosas are possibly one of the worst things I have ever eaten. Not gag inducing, just not good. Filling is so spicy you can't taste anything because your mouth is on fire.  All fire. No flavor. And that was after one bite. 

I give Kitchens of India samosas 1 microwave and don't recommend unless all your taste buds are dead and you have to eat hot and spicy just to taste anything. 

I will admit on further inspection the box says it is "No. 1 in India". That could mean number 1 of bad hot snacks or it could mean these are awesome and my standard for samosas is way off. it's about 50/50 either way.

However this is MY blog and I say these suck. Fo' shizzle. 

The end. 

Taste Test

Randall's fried chicken. Samosa caught my eye. got that too.

Samosa was pretty crappy.  What do you expect though from the grocery store.  It was like a 1.5 and I will never make that mistake again.  Tried it on the kids and none of them liked it either.



Sad veggie samosa

 

Randall's fried chicken however was really good.  Hubs favorite food is the fried chicken.  He's been steadily making his way down the list of recommended fried chicken in the  area.  Randall's--yes the supermarket-- is on that list.

 

Good crispy coating although for me it was a bit overdone.  Good spicy flavor that didn't overwhelm.  Very subtle.  Chicken meat was also great  Brined before frying which is the way I like it.  I thought this was great chicken.  Hubs, just ok.  we got 8 pieces for $6.99 which I also thought was pretty good.  However when you consider that none of the kids would touch it for whatever reason then it's not such a great deal.  No. 3 Son wound up pulling the container of chicken onto the kitchen floor and the dog went after it faster than I think I have ever seen him move.  At that point I think there were 2 pieces left.  He grabbed one and and ran around with a giant thigh hanging out of his maw until I shamed him into dropping it.  After that No. 2 Daughter ran around all night yelling at him to "release" whether he had anything to release or not.  Poor dog. :(

I'd get the Randall's again.  Way less greasy than Popeyes and I lie the spice level better.  Next time I will try it leftover.  I have a suspicion it is killer when it's a day old and cold.
3.5

Congratulations Wimpy's . . .

You provided me with one of the worst meals I have had in quite a while.  That is saying a lot since I can eat about anything.

All I wanted was a hamburger.  Simple enough right?  Twist and Ducky Momo had both previously been to Wimpy's and I thought it had gotten a good endorsement from them.  Obviously if they hated it we would not have gone there.  And for the record, all three of us had terrible meals.  it wasn't just me.  DM also had a hamburger and fries.  Twist went with chicken tender basket.

Hamburger looked good at first glance but then after biting into it it had some kind of off underflavor and smell I couldn't put my finger on.  Not a spoiled smell.  Like a gamey smell or something.  And it looked weird.  It was a funky dark brown color as opposed to the kind of gray brown color real meat has when you grill it or fry in and cut it open.  My hypothesis is horse meat.  In any event Duck Momo and I only ate half of our burgers.  I did eat all my fries.  they were just regular frozen ones so I was cool with that.  Twist said his chicken was so overcooked he was concerned it was several days old.  He didn't finish his chicken either.  Needless to say that Wimpy's is off the list for good I think.

Big fat 0 microwaves and a highly NOT recommended.
