Kevin And Ursula Eat Cheap

We got a box in the mail from our friend the Shepherd, and is was full of spiders. Literal spiders, made of sugar. Which we thought was very cool, until we found the tin under them and found it contained Dried Salted Tarantula. So this box was more than just a cool gift, it was a challenge.  This week, we have not only that, but three beers, a Mexican-inspired pizza, LOTS of sweets, and the usual shenanigans, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

So we got a box. Actually, we received several boxes, but one of them was full of the most interesting candy canes. And, fools that we are, we actually tried them. Every wonder what Clamdy Canes taste like? We do now. We also know about a variety of stroopwaffles, crackers, Oreos, and even a frozen mac & cheese. So join us this week, when we make those questionable life choices and even more about BBQ Crickets, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

Honestly, this was almost titled "We Shall Never Speak of This Again" because somewhere in here is a food that we will not mention ever again, and are busy obliterating our memories of the existence of it. In fact, this is a food that is only rumored, much like the supposed film between "Highlander" and "Highlander 3", and the often discussed but mysteriously absent sequel to the "Mortal Kombat" movie.  In fact, you really should be glad We Eat It, So You Don't Have To.

Kevin has been avoiding this for MONTHS, and finally broke when there was nothing else new in  the co-op beer cooler. OK, Ursula slipped it into the basket when he wasn't looking, and now he's stuck with it. Yes, this week we try Kombucha beer, along with a whole selection of things that came in boxes from all of you.  Hear it here first, when We Eat It So You Don't Have To.

Last weekend our friends Bruce and Tina were in town, and they had brought us food from Canada! Stinky cheese, some interesting treats, and a whole lot of conversation followed. Plus new and interesting ciders, a beer best left on the shelf, and a whole lot of swearing, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To! (And yes, we forgot to take a photo - sorry about that!)

I know, we've been remiss in creating new episodes. Between sickness, travel, and not one but TWO storms, bad food hasn't been a priority. So this week we have a little something to tide you over - we unbox our new toy for the kitchen.   Once things settle, we'll be back for more bad food because We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

While Hurricane Florence raged outside, we took the chance on having power long enough to eat some REALLY shitty foods. Since we had two freezer accidents in the prior 48 hours we had to eat a bunch of things that were on the very edge of completely defrosted. This included three frozen pizzas, two (not really) Mexican microwavable foods, and some cheese bites. On top of that, we went for instant and snack foods, which did our systems no good whatsoever. Join us while we ride out the Northern Edge of a Category 2 storm, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

Ho boy, do we have some stuff this time around. Aside from the beer, ciders, and icevine, there are new Oreo flavors, Plantain Chips, something called a "Detroit Pizza," and carrot chips.  You read that right : Carrot Chips. And that's just the start of what we have this episode when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To.

The time has come, oh listeners, to take care of the large carb and protein load that has been building in our food selection. Yes, it is time to eat multiple boxed pasta products (mostly mac and cheese), the one bag of pork rinds we have, and a box of pink gummy pigs (I am not making this up) that have been waiting for us since AnthroCon. We also have a whiskey sour mix, beer, questionable life choices, and at least one brownie this week when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

Folks, we have a real doozie of an episode this week, that starts out like any other, and ends with many, many regrets on the part of the participants. Along the way we will have a taco skillet meal, Mothman beer, "grown up" Mac and Cheese, Cider, and a variety of crisps ranging from "good" to "why God why," You can hear all about it, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

We're at Anthrocon! But we took some time last weekend with Lis and Natalie eating terrible foods just for you. We had some amazing fresh food, and followed it with terrible chips. And mediocre instant foods. And meal bars, wine, beer, and one of our personal favorites - dried squid! All that, and more, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

For whatever reason, we keep doing this. This week, we have a box of chips from Australia, gummy bears to soak in rum, and an instant Mac & Cheese.  We also have a pile of supermarket cheeses to try, and see if they hold to the label of "sharp cheddar." All this, and more when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

The original Title of this one was going to be "It Came From the Box 2" but then we tasted one of the things out of the box and the new title was born. This time around, we will be going through things you (yes you) have sent us, in an attempt to get through the monstrous pile of boxes we have received from listeners. This includes Passover foods, Oreos of questionable taste, and fake fish from Asia.  But that's not all! We also have candy, instant foods, and more, when We Eat It So You Don't Have To!

After a day where furniture has collapsed on Kevin TWICE while moving it, and not smart enough to leave well enough alone, we sat down with beer, cider, and a cornucopia of pre-packaged foods for your listening pleasure. We even brought in Lis since she was off work AND had brought some of these horrors into our house.  Then to add insult to injury, the audio recording stopped TWICE while doing the show. So we figure we EARNED the hangovers, the stomach-aches, and the early bedtime, this week when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

We went out and got baby chickens today! They don't actually make it on to the podcast (this week) but we'll talk about that in between tasting two of the three new Oreo Flavors, drinking beer and wine, and checking out a meal-in-a-box. There are also chips of questionable origin, health food, and a muffin-in-a-cup.  We talk life, bad food, and chickens this week, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To! (Oh, and there is a little bonus snippet from the pre-show sound testing on the web page for this one as well) Pre-show Sound Check

Somehow we ended up with a whole bunch of Bacon and Cheddar flavored things, so there was nothing else but to make a show mainly about them. We also have cup-o-muffins, poutine bites, and another Boomerang pastry.  Oh, and we have a couple of rants and a new sponsor! Join as we throw caution to the wind, because We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

We have a lot of chips and beer to get through, so this week we're doing just that! We have the good chips, the bad chips, and the confusing chips. And then we have the good beer, the better beer, and the really confusing ciders.  We'll also talk about the eating fresh we did this week, and there is even a new hot sauce, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

Ursula, Liz, and I are back from all our various travels, and so that means it is time to eat cheap! This week we continue to taste test what it apparently the big thing for 2018 - Rose Ciders! Yes, pink cider is all the rage based on what we are seeing in stores, so we have to try them all, right?  We also have a selection of foods found on our various travels - cheesy waffle chips, Soul Sprout bars, and the crown gem among all our finds: MothMan Hot Sauce! All that and more when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

This week, the triumphant return of LizardBeth! Well, ok, maybe not so triumphant, as we have this pile of food to eat. Cookie Butter, Nut and Seed-less Peanut Butter Substitute, Limited Edition Chicken nuggets, and chocolate hummus to name but a few. To wash it all down there is sour beer, coconut beer, and rose cider. And THAT is just the start of what we have this episode... We have such sights to show you, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

This episode, we have chocolate. Lots of chocolate. And we also have cup noodles, spicy Doritos, fancy ice cream (that may be a ringer), scary frozen meals, beet juice drink, Peep Oreos, beer.... ...the list keeps going, not just because we're gluttons for punishment, but because We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!
