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.

Jen (who is still burping up a very yucky cantaloupe flavor)
