Oh my, I completely forgot to review the May box! I swear, I thought I did, but today I got shipping for my June box and a little bubble lit up above my head saying “Wait a minute… June????” The theme last month was “Breakfast in Bed” and, of course, Mother’s day related. Or so they say, because I found a few snack choices a bit odd, considering the occasion. So here it is, my shamelessly belated May box review!
P.S.: These pictures have my old watermarks on them because I took them several weeks ago. Yup, FAIL!

Bonne Maman Strawberry Preserves
I already received this sample in my March Goodies box, and I still haven’t tried it. Like I said in my other review, I’m just not a huge fan of preserves so I veeeery rarely use them for cooking, and even less often eat them. At least it kind of went with the Breakfast in Bed theme, unlike some other products in the box.
Overall: n/a
Purchase: No

Snapz Premium Sliced Tomato Crunch
These are literally thinly sliced dried tomatoes. Not only they just tasted plain weird, there was nothing “Mother’s Day” or “Breakfast in Bed” about them at all. The taste was average, verging on bland, and I wished I would just eat a regular tomato instead.
Overall: 2/5
Purchase: No


Mrs. May’s Pumpkin Crunch 
I’m not a fan of pumpkin seeds, or seeds in general, so for me this snack tasted pretty average. However, the quality seems really good, and looks like a gourmet snack on the outside. So although I can’t appreciate the flavor, I’m still going to rate this snack pretty high.
Overall: 4/5
Purchase: No

The Cookie Department Great Full Vegan Sweet Potato Cookie
The cookie was big and soft, but veeeery sweet. I’m not a lover of traditional super-sweet cookies and cakes, and always take the frosting off my cupcakes and oreos, so it’s not surprising that I didn’t like it as much.
Overall: 3/5
Purchase: No

Bali’s Best Coffee Candy
I loved this coffee candy, it was just bitter enough and just sweet enough for me to want more than one at a time, which normally never happens. Great quality and great price!
Overall: 5/5
Purchase: Yes

Biscotti Bari Authentic Almond Biscotti
These biscotti were wayyy too dry for me, and didn’t really taste much like almonds at all. At first I was a bit confused to what they are, because they didn’t taste like any other biscotti I’ve tried before. And the package got damaged during the shipping, so there were crumbs everywhere.
Overall: 3.5/5
Purchase: No


Caffe Borsa Single Serve Hand Drip Coffee
I like the concept of having access to freshly brewed coffee even without the access to a coffeemaker. This coffee blend is 100% single origin Sumatra mandehling Arabica (whatever that means).
Overall: 4.5/5
Purchase: Yes

Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seasoning
Nothing screams “Mother’s Day” louder than a Slap Ya Mama product… I mean, seriously? Just because it says “Mama” on the label, doesn’t mean it fits the theme. Ok, maybe I’m waaaay overthinking this.. I do like spices though, so I’ll give it a try. It’s a traditional blend of salt, black and red peppers, and garlic, that I use in a lot of recipes.
Overall: 4/5
Purchase: Yes

The verdict: As you could see, most of the items in this box didn’t quite work for me. However, since it’s a food subscription, it wouldn’t be fair to badmouth the May box just because some products weren’t suited for my personal weird taste, especially since everything seemed to be pretty high quality. However, two items didn’t quite fit the Breakfast in Bed theme, and were an overall odd choice for this selection. Looking forward to my June box!
