Ditch Friend Marry #2

About a month ago I featured a post by the same title. If you are new to the blog check it out so you can play along. I now look to Ditch - Friend - Marry certain foods I ate or drinks I drank as opposed to Ditching - Friending - Marrying certain boys of past lives.
Ditch
Starbucks Huevos Rancheros Wrap
This breakfast offering contains egg, cheese, black beans, spicy peppers, and roasted tomatoes in a whole wheat wrap. Out of the five ingredients listed I am pretty sure my wrap contained eggs and black beans only. I tasted no ooey gooey melted cheese, not a hint of tomato and maybe a dash or two of what resembled a pepper - but it definitely wasn't spicy. The whole wheat wrap had a consistency similar to cardboard. The wrap in its entirety lacked flavor and true substance. Of course I ate it anyways, I paid $3.25 for crying out loud! I don't normally order breakfast at Starbucks, but I have a time or two in the past. I feel like they are constantly changing their breakfast sandwich menus ever since they were first introduced, what gives? I was generally satisfied enough in the past that I am willing to try the newer variations they keep coming out with. Plus sometimes I just crave a Starbucks Coffee. It's true.
I get distinct cravings for Dunkin Dounuts on certain days and Starbucks on others. Anyways, the Huevos Rancheros wrap was completely disappointing. As much as I hate to do it, this one is an easy Ditch.
Friend
Thomas' Bagel Thins
I would probably marry these, if not for the fact that I died and went to heaven when I tasted the product that won out for marry. These bagel thins are excellent and I've been eating them non-stop.
Freshly toasted for breakfast
Slathered in plain cream cheese with blackberry jam on one half and orange marmalade on the other. I love the cream cheese / jelly combo.
Accompanied by a side of Yogi Chai-Green Tea.
Another breakfast favorite - Egg & Cheese sandwich.
Afternoon snack with hummus and lettuce.
Slathered in butter - a great addition to a bowl of Progresso Vegetable Soup.
I am tried an true when it comes to Thomas' products. I eat their English Muffins and Bagels on a regular basis. I am not ready to trade in my "thick" bagels for the thins but I am definitely glad I purchased them and would do so again in the future. A smart business venture on Thomas' part for sure. I love making new friends!
Marry
Fiesta
Is it a candy bar? Is it a cake? It's Fiesta Orange. I think its a mix of both. And it's one of the best things I've ever tasted.
I bought this at Salumeria Italiana when I was picking up a loaf of bread on the walk home from work. Salumeria Italiana is an Italian specialty products store and I hardly every stop in because literally $7 boxes of pasta scare the bejesus out of me. I fear I might knock over a $50 bottle of olive oil and life in the North End as I know it will never be the same. It was a combination of laziness and curiosity that lured me back into the overpriced yet adorable little shop that I walk by day in and day out. The Fiesta bars sat in a box atop the cheese counter. They were priced at only $1.00. It tasted like a cloud floating down from heaven above. Sweet chocolate coats the light and fluffy cake with a orange liquor flavor drenching the golden layers.
Forget the pastry shops. I might eat all the bars in existence in my Little Italy.
I went in two days later to find that they raised the price to $1.25. Nothing can keep us apart, not even and extra 25 cents. We're getting married and that's that!

Have you ever tasted any of the above three products? What did you think?

I loved hearing your responses last month. Give it up. Who and what are you gonna ditch / friend / marry this month?
