Whether you’re in search of some good food or need ideas for the holiday shopping season, here’s a list of items I purchased or will purchase from the Isthmus Food & Wine Festival held last weekend:
- Mrs. Chippy’s Caramel Corn from Chippy’s Kettle Corn. I also enjoyed the Yumchata Oatmeal Cookie flavor and the Buffalo Wine & Bleu Cheese Dressing flavor.
- Old Fashioned Malted Milk Powder Malt from CTL Foods. If you like Whoppers, you’ll love this. Try adding it to coffee.
- Strawbanero jam from Blue Collar Cafe & Jams. Excellent combination of sweet and spicy. Loved the Bluebanero, too.
- The garlic beefsticks and Teriyaki beefsticks from Otter Creek Organic Farm. These make a great snack!
- The goat salami and Tuscan salami from Underground Meats. Makes me regret not signing up for its meat-CSA last year.
- Plain 9-12 Gouda from Holland Family Farms. I had always ignored Gouda … until now.
- Brick spread from Widmer Cheese Cellar. Why waste a cracker? I could eat this straight from the container.
- Rob Abuelo 12-Year Rum. I doubt I’ve had a better rum. “Smooth” would be underselling it.
- Dark Amber Organic Maple Syrup from Kickapoo Gold. You’ll never use Aunt Jemima again.
