I found the new Krusteaz Honey cornbread at the store this weekend.    I have heard great reviews on their pancakes so I thought this has to be good too.   Although good  I was not impressed nor am I willing to put this in my pantry for back up cornbread.

It is very simple to make homemade cornbread and it’s fast and a good dish to make in little to no time at all. But on with the review………..

The Krusteaz cornbread mixed well, poured well and baked up very nice and I was so very hopeful this would be good.  I just couldn’t get past the after taste.   Food should not have an aftertaste, it should continue to taste like what it first did as it entered your mouth.   I am thinking its the blend of flours they use, I am not sure but it wasn’t pleasant.   So I put it to two tests.

Test 1:  Honey!  Honey makes everything better right?   well yes but not in this case, the aftertaste was to pungent that I literally ate half and threw the rest away.

Test 2:  Smothered it in chili dog.   This worked for about 3/4 of the meal until that after taste started showing through.   Up until then it was perfect pair of sweet, salty, spicy, meaty, corn bready goodness.  That made me sad that the after taste showed up.

So over all, I am very sorry but I will not be buying this product again. Would I eat it again, yes maybe if it were free.   I am still trying the other items though, I like the brand and I think they have potential and I would love to try them down the line perhaps if things change in their cornbread formulation.

I am not writing off the other products, I just haven’t tried them yet.
