Irene's Spinach Knishes from Irene's Bakery and Gourmet Kitchen Review

Every once in a while, for whatever reason, usually a good price or good looking packaging, I'll take a look at a food product that isn't organic. So I took a closer look at Irene's Spinach Knishes from Irene's Bakery and Gourmet Kitchen, particularly since I'd never had a knish. The wife has had many of them; she's more worldly like that. But because I'd never had one, and yet hearing how great knishes are, I thought I'd give Irene's Spinach Knishes a try. Besides, they were spinach, and as a health food, spinach says a lot to me.

Irene's Spinach Knishes from Irene's Bakery and Gourmet Kitchen ( Taste )

I'm sorry to say, and so was my wife, Irene's Spinach Knishes simply weren't very good. I heated them up, following the heating instructions on the packaging; and in all honesty, they were heated a little longer than what was directed. But it's difficult to imagine the extra couple of minutes the knishes were in the oven dried them out as much as they were. Through and through, Irene's Spinach Knishes were very dry.

Perhaps they weren't made with very much of the canola oil that's listed in the ingredients. Perhaps the were made with too much of the baking powder that's listed in the ingredients, or they were made with too much flour. Maybe I'm just too in love with seasoned food. Whatever the reason, not only were they too dry, they didn't have very much flavor to them; not the spinach, not the potato, the sea salt in them wasn't even tasted.

Irene's Spinach Knishes from Irene's Bakery and Gourmet Kitchen ( Price & Conclusion )

At Wegmans, where Irene's Spinach Knishes were purchased, they were bought for $2.99. Two somewhat large knishes were in the package, totaling 15 ounces; and that's the other reason I bought them, the price of how much ( food ) weight was in the package.

While each knish worked out to what seemed like a good price at the time, $1.25 per knish, considering how bland the knishes tasted, this was a poorly costed decision.

Perhaps some of the other knishes from Irene's Bakery and Gourmet Kitchen tastes better than Irene's Spinach Knishes. Let's hope so, because even if you're eating out of complete necessity, as in out of dire hunger and not sheer pleasure, almost to a complete degree you want to like, at least a little, the taste of what it is you're eating.
