Frozen Friday: Marie Callender's - Turkey Pot Pie

Marie Callender's Turkey Pot Pie features chunks of white-meat turkey, celery, carrots, peas, and onion in a cream sauce.

They come in a regular 10-ounce and large 16.5-ounce sizes and I picked up the larger one on sale for $2.50 (regularly $4.29). The large pies are two servings a pie.

News: Dairy Queen - April Blizzard of the Month - Caramel Delight Pie

This April, Dairy Queen is featuring Caramel Delight Pie as their Blizzard of the Month.

The Blizzard features caramel, choco chunks, and pie crust pieces blended in their vanilla soft serve before the finishing touch of whipped topping is added.

It's available throughout the month of April and then it's gone.

Sounds like a candy bar with pie pieces, no?

Review: Burger King - Chicken Strips and New Sauces

Burger King's Chicken Strips are part of the recent menu expansion and feature breaded and battered pieces of marinated chicken tenderloin strips. They resemble McDonald's Chicken Selects more than a little.

I bought 3 pieces for $3.29 and picked up the two new Kung Pao and Jalapeno BBQ dipping sauces while I was at it.

News: Baskin-Robbins - Jamoca Almond Fudge - April 2012 Flavor of the Month

Baskin-Robbins' April Flavor of the Month this year in Jamoca Almond Fudge.

It features Jamoca ice cream (coffee ice cream) plus ribbons of chocolate fudge and roasted almonds.

Correct me if I'm mistaken but, I always though Jamocha Almond Fudge was a regular flavor at Baskin-Robbins? At least it used to be from what I remember. Did they get rid of it?

Review: Kraft - Peanut Butter Milk Bite Milk & Granola Bar

Kraft's Peanut Butter Milk Bite milk and granola bars boast the same amount of calcium as an 8-ounce cup of milk in a granola bar.

A box of five 1.23-ounce bars cost me $3.49 which was the regular price. *These have been discontinued*

News: Burger King - New, Expanded Menu

Burger King has undergone a dramatic menu expansion and it looks suspiciously similar to rival McDonald's more recent offerings.

New on tap are: Garden Fresh Salads, Snack Wraps, Crispy Chicken Strips, Real Fruit Smoothies and Frappés.

Most of the new items are of the better-for-you variety as Burger King looks to expand their demo. Apparently, they tested over two dozen menu items and people ended up wanting the same stuff they could order at McDonald's.

Review: Taco Bell - Volcano Taco

For those who just can't get enough spice in their Crunchy Tacos, Taco Bell has the Volcano Taco which is similar but sports a red shell of warning and a very spicy "molten hot lava sauce" that is the heart of the Volcano menu.

I bought one for $1.19 which is a little more than the 99 cent crunchy version.

News: Baskin-Robbins - New Iced Cappy Blast

Baskin-Robbins is expanding its drink menu with the new Iced Cappy Blast, which is essentially the Cappuccino portion of their Cappuccino Blast mixed in milk and served over ice (i.e. it's a sweetened iced cappuccino or a Cappuccino Blast without the ice cream).

In case you want something more chocolaty, it's also available in Mocha flavor where they add a bit of chocolate syrup for you.

Review: Arby's - Roast Club Chicken Sandwich

Arby's Roast Chicken Club is one of their premium non-roast beef offering and features slices of oven roasted chicken plus pepper bacon, Swiss cheese, leaf lettuce, sliced tomato, and "cravin'" sauce on a toasted specialty roll.

I picked one up for $3.99 at my local Arby's.

For those who like to grab a Subway sandwich in the morning, Subway has a promotion right up your alley: Buy any 6" sandwich before 9am in the morning and receive any 6" sandwich of equal or lesser value for free.

The offer is available daily but only during the month of April.

What's on the Menu: McDonald's Australia 2012

It's been a while but What's on the Menu returns with a look at McDonald's Australia menu for a look at how a global company caters to local tastes and how it differs from our own.

First a look at breakfast and the Brekkie Roll...

Five McDonald's Pies to Try Around the World

Here in the US, we're most familiar with McDonald's Apple Pie (now baked but once deep-fried) and the occasional regional or limited-time pies riffing on the more traditional pies (such as Mickey D's version of good old pumpkin).

But, it's a big world out there and there are McDonald's restaurants in over 100 countries (many where they still serve fried apple pies) so I searched far and wide to uncover these five interesting  McDonald's pies to try from all over the world.
