Chocolate Thongs
(30 January 2006) - We've spent the last hour writing clever things about these tasty thongs, but decided it would be best to let them speak for themselves. Stay tuned for more gifts in CH Valentine's Finds. Belgian milk chocolate thongs, £5, for men and women from BoysStuff....

Glee's Make Your Own Chewing Gum Kits
(30 January 2006) - Before all of the chemicals and artificial compounds used in most chewing gum today, gum was made from the sap of the Sapodilla tree, which grows abundantly in South American rainforests (and other locations). The sap is called chicle, and the men who climb the trees to collect the sap are called chicleros. No doubt you recognize a brand or two that utilize these...

Laloo's Goat's Milk Ice Cream Company
(27 January 2006) - Laloo's Goat's Milk Ice Cream Company is hand made on a farm in Sonoma, CA where the 350 goats roam and graze freely in the majestic fields. These must be some very happy goats, because their milk, and the ice cream that is made from it, is outrageously good. Goat's milk is low in fat and low in lactose, which makes it easier to...

Lac Chocolatier
(25 January 2006) - Pascal Lac is a well known patissier, chocolatier and glacier in Nice and neighboring Beaulieu sur Mer in the south of France. Locals worship his perfectly simple confections, and some of the best restaurants in the area serve his work with pride. A visit to one of his two stores is a total sensory overload. CHHQ is very grateful that our friend Lorin, a...

Bear Naked Instant Oatmeal
(19 January 2006) - Bear Naked granola is a staple in the CHHQ pantry. Their products have always impressed us for their quality, variety, light and natural sweetness and their wholesome natural ingredients. We were intrigued by their new line of instant oatmeal (two words we don't like to see together, honestly). Instant oatmeal is usually pretty gross, but we were impressed—really impressed—with the tasty, not-too-sweet, 90 seconds-in-the-microwave...

Cushman HoneyBells
(18 January 2006) - Don't get these HoneyBells confused with HoneyBell Tangelos. Though they look like an orange they are a rare and natural hybrid of Dancy Tangerine and Duncan Grapefruit. They are only grown in Florida, and are available only for a few weeks in January/February. They are incredibly juicy and full of flavor. We got our shipment last week at CHHQ and have been dripping on...

Torchbearer #7 Sultry Sauce
(17 January 2006) - The problem with a lot of salsas/sauces is that they either have heat or they have flavor. Torchbearer Sauces #7 Sultry Sauce is one of those uncommon salsas/sauces that has both plenty of heat and plenty of flavor. Though the first two ingredients are oranges and carrots the sauce is not too sweet; they blend nicely with the tomatoes and habanero peppers to deliver...

The Green Bakery
(16 January 2006) - This new green bakery, said to be the first of its kind, just re-opened (following a brief preview in November it was closed for additional construction) in New York's East Village. All of the materials used in its construction are green, and the site gives details on all of the products. It's a thought about what a neighborhood bakery could be; a complete expression...

Chocolate Vodka Shots
(16 January 2006) - These clever little chocolates are filled with a vodka infused ganache center. They've been out in the U.K. for about a year, but are pretty new stateside. The tube comes with 4 packs of "shots," each pack contains individually wrapped chocolates with a different flavor vodka center: neat, orange, vanilla and raspberry. Elizabeth Shaw, a well-known English confectioner, created the treats, which are also...

Green Tea
(13 January 2006) - With more and more reports linking green tea to weight loss, extolling its skin care, anti-infection, immune-boosting, and cholesterol-lowering benefits, and citing its potention to prevent cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and tooth decay, the green tea product boom is in full-force. An Asian staple, recent green tea inventions of the East include a Kit-Kat (pictured above right) and the Japanese crisp rice-and-white chocolate bar...

Crummy Brothers Organic Cookies
(05 January 2006) - Spear tipped us off to these cookies. We buy a lot of cookies. We get sent a lot of cookies. We eat a lot of cookies at CH HQ. But we have never. Never. Tasted cookies like these. These righteous treats are geared for an adult palette. Though you can get 'em plain, we highly recommend the lightly-infused flavors: Lavender, Orange Blossom and Peppermint....

Pyrat XO Reserve and Cask 23 Rums
(04 January 2006) - Discovered on a recent trip to Anguilla (though available everywhere) these blended rums make for some fine sipping. Unlike the sweet garden variety rums (or worse, the new fad of flavored rums) that you add to Coke or other mixers, these rums are made to be enjoyed solo, like fine Tequila or Cognac. Blended, aged and bottled in Anguilla, they're made from a variety...

Appellation Wine & Spirits
(22 December 2005) - You have to get a little excited knowing that the organic food marketplace is getting big enough and consumers informed enough that a store like Appellation Wine & Spirits can have a successful business. This wine and spirits shop is unremarkable on first glance—sparse, low key—but walking inside and browsing through their products you soon start to realize that the descriptions of the wines...

Sam's Yams
(30 November 2005) - Sam's Yams are a newly discovered dog treat that CH mascots Otis and Logan are all over. Having heard recently about more than one incident involving the healthy looking "green" chews that are mostly corn starch, and others about rawhide, these all-natural treats are all the more welcome. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but all of them are 100% dried...

Classic Cookbooks
(24 November 2005) - For some, Thanksgiving is the one day of the year when cookbooks come off shelves and get put to use. With last month's English-language release of the Italian classic The Silver Spoon, lauded as the bible of Italian cuisine, and the upcoming 75th anniversary of the Joy of Cooking in 2006, we decided to take a look at other books that have made it...

(22 November 2005) - Matt believes that everyone can learn about, understand, and enjoy the pleasures of wine without carrying around little pocket charts, subscribing to glossy wine magazines and using fancy words to describe the experience. And anyone fortunate enough to have eaten at Fifteen, Jamie Oliver's restaurant in London, has experienced Matt Skinner's "Thirsty Work." As the sommelier at Fifteen (or "head of the wine team"...

Schwartz's Crunchmallows
(21 November 2005) - Decadence takes many forms (and for some reason we seem to be fairly expert at several of them). Schwartz Crunchmallows are our latest obsession. Made in New York by the Schwartz family since 1939, these insanely delectable marshmallows sit atop a thin toffee wafer and are coated in semisweet chocolate. Other varieties include marshmallows with a caramel bottom, and plain marshmallows in eight flavors....
