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:

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.
