Hey all. I just did a search, and didn't find any flavor
descriptions of the "Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans" that are
made by Jelly Belly, so I thought I'd write down my recent
experience with their new "special" flavors. Last night, my
husband, daughter, and I went to Border's, and there was a
display of little red bags of the beans, and I persuaded my
husband I had to try one. I didn't get around to actually
tasting them until this morning, though. Here are my opinions...
Grass: didn't get one, or if I did, I didn't realize it.
Black Pepper: kind of a sweet pepper taste. Grossed my husband out.
Sardine: very mild bean with a slightly sweet (and very faint) fishy
taste.
Buttered Toast: Yummy! Tastes a lot like brown sugar.
Pumpkin Pie: see Grass, above.
Strawberry Jam: very tasty
Horseradish: YUCK! This is VERY HOT - the only one I had to spit out.
and of course, I have about 7 "booger" flavored ones that I just am
WAY too afraid to try. Anyone want me to send them a little baggie
of booger-flavored jelly beans? There's no way I'm ever going to be
brave enough to try them. ;)
My little "picture guide" to the flavors also tells me that this
fall, they're coming out with "dirt", "mustard", "vomit", and a ???
flavor. Now that I know that the Pepper and Horseradish ones
actually taste like they're supposed to, I'm NOT keen to try these
new flavors, and I think I'll just stick to the regular Jelly
Bellies, thank you very much.
