Love with Food April 2013

If you happened to see a previous post, you know that I signed up for a six month subscription to Love with Food from FAB. I received my first box - the April box that was curated by Andrew Zimmern from Bizarre Foods on the Travel Channel.

The Price: $10.00 a month

Ships out: Once a month

The Extras: For each box purchased, Love with Food donates a meal to someone in need. 

This month's theme was Weird, Wild, Wonderful Foods.

Fennel Pollen from Pollen Ranch

Approximate Value: $0.54

Not quite sure what I'm going to do with this...

 5oz. Somersaults in Salty Pepper These were really good. I liked the taste, although it was really peppery - which make it slightly spicy. I will probably repurchase these.

Approximate Value: $0.33

2oz. Buffl Lo Dip in Creamy Buffalo Ranch

Approximate Value: $0.64

1.1oz Oloves  in Lemony Lover

Approximate Value: $1.59

2.50z. The Good Bean all natural chickpea snack in Smoky Chili and Lime These were okay. It has the texture and crunch of nuts. I liked the flavor, but didn't love it. It was a little spicy, I can handle most of my spice, and this one had a little kick to it. 

Approximate Value: $4.59

1oz. Mini Pops Air Popped Sorghum Grain in Itty Bitty Butter This tastes like unsalted, unbuttered mini popcorn.  I didn't really like the flavor because it tasted like there was no flavor. Because the grains were so small it's really clumsy to eat. You either have to pour a bunch of this in your hand and smash it into your mouth or grab a bunch of these grains in your fingers and put everything in your mouth. Messy with each technique. Plus lots of fallout because it's so small. This stuff got everywhere. I only got through a third of the bag. I think I might experiment with flavors with the rest of the bag. 

Approximate Value: $1.21

2 Cocomels Coconut Milk Caramels (1 in Sea Salt, 1 in Original)

Approximate Value: $0.98

Total estimated value: $9.88

I think the value for this box is a little low, but it's at least higher than the price that I paid using the FAB deal. Without the credits that I had the 6 month subscription deal comes out to $7.77 a box.

The April box is partnering up with Andrew Zimern from the Travel Channel show Bizzarre Foods. Not too sure how I feel about that... I love watching Bizzarre Foods, but seeing the kinds of foods that he eats on the show - most of which I would never even try - I don't know if I should be scarred or not!

Check out one of my favorite vloggers, LePooke's You Tube channel to see some past Love with Food boxes! It looks like a really good box!
