TRADER JOE'S MULTIGRAIN PITA BITE CRACKERS




Crackers are one of those foods that can feel so super fancy and upscale, or
they can feel cheap, boring, and sad. Some of the most expensive, high-profile
events I've ever been to have featured crackers with toppings as hors d'oeuvres.
Likewise, some of the sorriest penny-pinching meals I've ever consumed were
crackers topped with peanut butter and jelly, in lieu of real bread.




Granted, the latter event no doubt involved cheap store brand saltines and the
former most likely featured something more akin to these multigrain whole wheat
and flax seed-laden pita crackers. But my point stands that crackers are indeed
ubiquitous and versatile, and in most cases, they largely depend upon some
auxiliary flavors and textures to make them stand out as a memorable snack or
appetizer.



On their own, Trader Joe's Multigrain Pita Bite Crackers aren't bad at all.
Texture-wise, they're crispy, crunchy, and rigid, but not too hard. The flavor
is wheaty, for sure, but it's immediately apparent that there's much more
complexity underneath the basic grainy taste. There are at least six grains
present, flax and sunflower seeds, olive oil, molasses, and honey. While the
sweeter elements don't really shine through in any meaningful way by themselves,
they temper the earthier flavors and make for a highly noshable snack cracker,
particularly when paired with a suitable array of toppings.

We tried ours with multiple types of cheese, hummus, bean salad, tuna salad,
grape leaves and quinoa, and they worked beautifully in every case. They paired
surprisingly well with cream cheese. I even tried adding some fruit spread to
the cream cheese and made some surprisingly palatable dessert crackers with
these. I just used the term "dessert crackers" twice in one week. I'm weird like
that.



$2.99 for the 6 oz box. I'd buy again. The beautiful wifey likes them even more
than I do. Three and a half stars from me. Four stars from Sonia on Trader Joe's
Multigrain Pita Bite Crackers.

Bottom line: 7.5 out of 10.

TRADER JOE'S ARGENTINIAN RED SHRIMP




Did you know that shrimp is the fruit of the sea? There's shrimp kabobs, shrimp
salad, shrimp gumbo, deep fried, pan fried, stir fried. There's shrimp scampi,
pineapple shrimp, coconut shrimp, lemon pepper shrimp, and of course, Trader
Joe's Argentinian Red Shrimp with Ginger Garlic Butter & Togarashi Style
Seasoning.

How could Bubba have forgotten Trader Joe's Argentinian Red Shrimp with Garlic
Butter & Togarashi Style Seasoning??



I suppose it's possible it didn't exist back then. We'll forgive you for this
glaring omission from your famous list of shrimp dishes, Mr. Benjamin Buford
Blue. But just this once...




Like Bubba, I consider myself a shrimp aficionado. I've been eating the stuff
since I was a wee one. So my standards are pretty high and I'm a pretty tough
grader as far as final scores are concerned.

My jam was always deep fried jumbo butterfly shrimp. I'd drown those things in
cocktail sauce or some kind of remoulade and could smash dozens of them in one
sitting. These puppies aren't fried or breaded, so how do they fare against such
fierce competition?




Pretty good, honestly. I'm amazed I didn't mess them up when I cooked them, but
they came out with a really nice texture, not too chewy or weird in any way.
They tasted good, too, although Sonia and I just wish the spices were a little
more potent. We definitely tasted ginger and garlic in that buttery sauce, but I
think we were both hoping that the togarashi seasoning would bring a little bit
more heat to the equation.

Still, for $7.99, this is pretty close to a gourmet quality seafood entree. I
counted about 16 or 18 decent sized shrimp in the package. It's supposed to be a
single serving, but if served with rice and some sides, this pouch can easily
satisfy two people for dinner. Sonia and I give Trader Joe's Argentinian Red
Shrimp with Ginger Garlic Butter & Togarashi Style Seasoning two thumbs up and
four stars a piece. Would buy again.

Bottom line: 8 out of 10.
