Uh Huh Her
Heh. I figured you were posting on your phone, and it learned to autocorrect certain things to "essie" -- because my phone seems to have done exactly that!Oops, mixing up my food and my nail polish... Thanks!

You're not alone with your love of Effie's...I've been ordering it every other week since I got my box. Do you suggest any particular brand of blackberry jam? I also bought some Walker's Oatcakes but haven't tried them yet.Originally Posted by magicalmom /img/forum/go_quote.gif

I just use Smucker's... But, if you can find them, use the "simply fruit" kind of jelly/preserves. They're sweetened with juice instead of sugar, and to me, taste better! Let me know if you like the Walker's kind.Originally Posted by NikNik455 /img/forum/go_quote.gif

Thanks! Gonna see if I can find some tomorrow. BTW, you're going to love the caramel cookies. I just finished a box.Originally Posted by magicalmom /img/forum/go_quote.gif

Oh, and I ordered the caramel cookies from the Dec box (I got mint). They're in the kitchen, calling my name.
@meaganola, my fingers autocorrected me! I thought Effie's, and typed Essie's... crazy!
Too small for sure!Originally Posted by twotonetiff /img/forum/go_quote.gif
so far I'm Lovin all three, black pepper pistachio, which has a little kick, and nacho libre, love! Wasn't expecting to like it so much. And hot cross yum was very good, it had a unique taste with the orange and cinnamon, almost like potpourri? It even made my farts smell like cinnamon after. I know I'm gonna love the compote, Savin it for tomorrow! anyone else finding these to be too small? maybe I'm just a fatty but I'm always wanting more!! So far my favs that I've had are the fruit and nut flap jack, followed by BBQ pistachios, and then bannoffee pie.
I've sent them e-mails about adding additional items like the UK; like olives, popcorn and baked goods. They said they want to expand, but they're trying to get a grip on their US success. If enough people e-mail that request, perhaps they'll move along faster.Originally Posted by nikkimouse /img/forum/go_quote.gif
I like to look through the stuff they have in the UK and they have recently added a brownie. I really wish we could get the fresh baked stuff here. I'm still on the fence about keeping it. I want to cancel my hubby loves it too much if we had the fresh baked stuff I would keep it in a heart beat.
Boo! No box for me today /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Mine had been delivered on Thurs, Wed, and now maybe tomorrow (Friday). I usually get my mail before lunch, so I eat them all!My 3rd box just came! Thankfully I just had lunch or else I would have ate it all in one sitting. Â I'll update on the snacks once we devour them.Â
It's a different type of dried fruit. I can't stand most soft dried fruit, but I really like this kind.Has anyone noticed that the boxes with dry fruit like mango, apple or pineapple are hard and stale tasting? Â I've had plenty tried fruit, but never this bad. Â Trader Joe's dried mango is the bomb. Â Perhaps they should try their distributer. Â Â Â I just tired the apple cosmo. Â I won't even try banana. I will be trashing anything with dried fruit from now on. Â Â Otherwise, I like the boxes.
Log into the website and click the 'Your Boxes' tab at the top of the page /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />Sorry if this has already been asked, but when exactly do you get to see those nifty little pics that show you what will be in your box? I am waiting for my first box and my account says "your box is in the mail" but so far no preview. I'm curious as to when the first box usually arrives but from reading through this thread it seems like that can be pretty inconsistent. Thanks for sharing all of your boxes. Makes me excited for some of the treats they've got on the site. I trashed almost everything that sounded like it could be potentially spicy. The only spicy-sounding things I didn't trash are Cheddar Gorge, Boston Baguettes, My Thai, and the Fruity Mango Chutney (with pepper dippers). Anybody had those? Are they super spicy? It won't hurt to try them, if there's a balance I might actually like it, but I'm pretty much a mild girl through and through. I was considering moving the "Smoky Gazpacho" dip into the try category but the word "smoky" just scares me too much, haha. Also trashed all of the pistachios (I figure I can just buy a bag of those at the grocery store) and other mixes that were on the more "plain/easy to get" side of things.Â

I like Graze's dried fruit better.
Nah, it's been there. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />Originally Posted by teastrong /img/forum/go_quote.gif
I think there is another new item, at least it looks new to me.
