2019 Specialty Food Meets Natural – Take a look at my Fancy Food Show haul

View this post on Instagram

Hauling snacks and treats from the #summerfancyfoodshow home and to my tasting panel was a slight feat – but we had a great time digging into samples from sweet to savory. Our tops included the new petite organic corn chips from California’s RW Garcia in a few flavors (our new airplane food), Sugar Sin tropical #vegan gummies from the UK (nice n tart), Cello Whisps you may know from the original 100% #gf Parmesan flavor which now come in several flavors (I bogarted the mock Bacon flavor for myself off-camera ?), Bixby Bar’s new bean to bar chocolate from Maine (yum, awesome bar molds), the truffle jerky (even our picky teen taster liked it!), and the Epic venison stick (very peppery). Forgot to include the award-winning @naturallynutty Pepita Sun Seed Butter so that’s becoming airplane food! An Italian bergamot jelly candy fell into the hands of another taster, but those very Italian flavors were one memorable thing from the NY show. @bixbybar @getunreal @sugarsin @rwgarciasnacka @epic @kindsnacks @fullerfoods @righteousfelon @cellowhisps @specialtyfood
