Free Samples

 


I went for a lovely summer walk with a friend a few weeks ago.  We had coffee then stopped by at Whole Foods.  They had free samples out, I tasted Gruyere cheese, pickle flavoured crackers, and some spicy honey from the company pictured above.

I would definitely have been curious about the spicy honey, but pickle-flavoured crackers with Gruyère is such an interesting combination too. I actually love when shops offer little samples because you end up discovering things you probably would never have picked up otherwise. It makes an ordinary shopping trip feel a bit more like an adventure.

I really like Gruyere but I'm not sure about the pickle flavored cracker part. Spicy honey sounds interesting though.

My son gets hot honey which I guess is your spicy honey. I havent' tried it yet. Always nice to find those free samples.
