No Calorie Flavor Sprays - The Review

Well folks,

Today my No Calorie Flavor Sprays came in the mail.
Since I am now on the PUREE part of post op, I'm NOT gonna skip the pureed
ham salad I am planning for dinner (oh, the small joys of life). But I
wanted to try them out. I tried them two ways, the bachelor version of just
shooting it in my mouth, and the refined version on a cracker. (I am hoping
I can actually eat those, but it seemed to have no problem- if I was bad,
Rebecca can spank me.)

To refresh your memory, they are $5.95 a TWO ounce bottle. I have no idea
how many shots would come in a bottle.

Shipping and handling was $ 6.95, which was not as big of a rip off as I
expected, as the postage was $4.02.


no-calorie flavor sprays - THE REVIEW

Caramelized Onions- Tasted somewhat like onions, and smelled like French
onion soup or perhaps what you might put on a pot roast or on top of a dog
at the ball park. Verdict- Good.

Memphis BBQ - Tastes dry and burnt- JUST LIKE MEMPHIS BBQ. I prefer sweet
and sour BBQ, as you can find at Walt's BBQ on Colerain Avenue. But in
combination with some other flavors this could be an interesting ingredient-
Verdict- A little better than OK. By it self- Yuch- which is what Memphis
BBQ tastes like, so this is a good simulation.

Smoked Bacon Spray- WOW. Tasty. Smells just like and tastes just like a good
smoky bacon. Almost good enough (but not quite) for me to consider changing
my dinner plans to Creamed Potatoe Soup to spray it on. I will do that
tomorrow. Verdict - TWO THUMBS UP.

----------

I had asked the company if there were any Cincinnati stores that sold this-
NOPE. But they say it is available at "Legourmet Chef" which the closest of
which is at the Jefferson Outlet Malls on I-71

From a recent Mayberry Journal-

"WE TRIED IT"

Well, it sounds like it might work -- no-calorie flavor sprays that can
make a rice cake taste like cheesecake or celery like caramelized onions.
If it satisfied a craving for high-calorie food, think of all the weight
you could lose. Furthermore, Flavorspray liquid sprays carry the name of
David Burke, the well-known New York chef of davidburke and donatella.

The smoked bacon spray added an interesting flavor to scrambled eggs. The
teriyaki did a somewhat realistic imitation of the real thing when sprayed
on chicken. Best was the butter flavor on air-popped popcorn. But the
sprays certainly are not magic dust: Though the cheesecake spray gets
pretty close, a rice cake can never be a convincing cheesecake. Spraying
the sweet flavors directly in my mouth just made me hungry for the real
thing. $5.95 at www.flavorspraydiet.com.
