Dwight Yoakam's Twang-y Shrimp (Yoakam's Bakersfield Biscuits, Lego Eggo Waffles and Birds Eye Vegetables)

Well, I’m embarrassed to admit that I clearly have zero sales resistance, because I immediately dashed out after last week’s column here on FoodLife and bought a box of White Castle burgers, which, for the record, I have thoroughly enjoyed.


I apologize in advance for the problem with photos this week - something is amiss with Blogger, Google's blogging platform, and I - along with apparently hundreds of others - can't upload photos. I managed to get the three I'd planned uploaded, but the formatting functions are still problematic. If and when Google ever addresses this problem - or I change platforms in frustration - I'll upload the remaining photos and update the blog. Sorry!!

Some New Product Alerts:

Did you know that Dwight Yoakam – yes, the Grammy winner – has a line of frozen foods? Dwight Yoakam’s Bakersfield Biscuits brand has a line of “country-style foods” available in supermarkets. The line includes:

• Chicken Lickin's Chicken Fries™ (breaded, fully-cooked chicken breast patties with rib meat shaped like french fries), comes in three flavors - original, Sweet Barbeque and Chili Cheese;
• Chicken Lickin's Buffalo Bites™ (breaded, fully-cooked chicken breast patties with rib meat, shaped like chicken drumsticks and wings, seasoned with red pepper sauce);
• Lanky Links (Fully Cooked Pork Sausage Links);
• Platter Patties (Fully Cooked Pork Sausage Patties);
• Boom Boom Shrimp (my favorite product name so far this year - Par-fried, tail-off, buffalo style flavor);
• Border Shrimp (Par-fried, tail-off Mexican Style Flavor), and,
• Border Dips - (both bean and cheese dips).

Do you think that the Department of Homeland Security has approved the Border Shrimp, or will the Minutemen turn them back at the Rio Grande?

You can find Dwight's Twangy Shrimp at your local supermarket.

For Kids:

Will the commercial cry now be "Leggo my Lego?" Kellogg's Eggo Waffles has teamed up with LEGO™ brand building block company to create a new line of Eggo Waffles, branded as Lego Eggos (you cannot make this stuff up). The box tells kids to "toast, break and build," so I guess you don't get to tell your kids not to play with their food anymore.

Meanwhile, Birds-Eye has introduced a new upscale vegetable product line called "Steamfresh," which Birds-Eye states will offer "unmatched taste, quality and convenience" to consumers. From your refrigerator to the table in under 5 minutes, steaming in its own container, which utilizes patented steaming technology to steam your veggies in the microwave.
