THE CHOICE HAS BEEN MADE! Top Specialty Food of the Year 2017
As you know, each year I name a Top Specialty Food of the Year. Last year our Top Specialty Food of the Year 2016 was Dave’s Killer Bread–Good Seed Bread. Now, they don’t know who I am and have never sent me anything. I just discovered Dave’s Good Seed bread on my own at my local Sam’s club. Visit the review here to discover why I and my whole family are still hooked on this marvelous bread.
This year choice for Top Specialty Food of the Year 2017 was a tough one as there were many great foods in the running. Walt and I have sampled an exceptional selection of Fancy Food and Specialty Food this year, probably well over 100 items. See our previous reviews for this year:

The base of the spreads is organic sesame seeds that is slowly ground in stone wheels for hours, with dates, carob, figs and beets. These spreads are vegan, paleo, and don’t contain any gluten, preservatives, dairy, nuts or added sugar. They are an incredible substitute for peanut butter.

- Strawberry
- Mighty Date
- Carob Chocolate
