Melrose Apple

The Melrose Apple has a nice sweet-tangy hit, but veering more sweet than anything else. It has crunchy, crisp white flesh. It’s a really tasty apple. Recommended!…

Vevan Ched-Shred Vegan Cheese

Vevan’s Ched-Shred is what it says to be: vegan cheddar shreds. It performs as advertised! The Ched-Shreds have a sort of chalky texture and when making cheesy eggs, it sort of gets this hard/fried texture rather than super melty. This is fine and tasty. It feels like it has the best cheddar cheese taste and…

Rockit Apple

The Rockit apple is a miniature apple designed to be small and reasonably tasty. Its ‘parents’ are the Gala and the Splendour apple. I’ve never had a Splendour apple, but definitely have had Galas, and the Gala influence shines through in the flavor. The Rocket apple is basically a mini Gala. It’s very compact, crunchy,…

Equal Exchange Organic Dark Hot Chocolate Powder

Do you want a hot chocolate drink that has a super bitter, dark chocolate flavor? Look no further. This is the mix/powder for you. It’s really strong. It definitely does not lack in the flavor department. If you want this type of hot cocoa, definitely recommend! Rather than using milk, I’ve been using water along…

Wen Shan Pouchong Tea

I don’t have much to say on the Wen Shan Pouchong—it’s a nice oolong tea. It has a sort of sweet, grassy flavor. It didn’t become bitter or too strong after a long steep. It’s a smooth, easy drink. It doesn’t take the spot as my favorite oolong or tea, but I’d definitely drink it…

2022 in Review

I feel like I didn’t do much this year with Selective Elective, given diet/appetite changes, but despite that, 2022 was our best year in terms of views: over 10k views! Top Reviews Mostly the same top posts from last year, but in different rankings. Highlights 2023 Thoughts Right now my goals are super low for…
