I was first introduced to Weetabix by the very English mother of an old friend, who told me it was terribly popular in the U.K. "The Queen eats it!" she added brightly; everyone in England knows this, as the fact was much touted in a series of TV "adverts" some years ago. And to Britons, evidently, it matters. I soon developed a powerful periodic craving for the stuff, which can be very difficult to find here in the U.S. But now I’m all set, because it’s come to Honest Weight. If you haven’t tried it, it’s an organic whole-wheat breakfast cereal blessed with a sunny, mellow flavor and a beautiful simplicity. And if you want any, you should arrange to shop earlier in the week than I do.

Sin Kee Hsiang Agricultural makes some really popular vegan meat substitutes, and they’re new in stock: Chicken Nuggets, Beek Chunks, and King Prawn. I wouldn’t always refer to protein-rich vegetarian foodstuffs as "meat substitutes," but when the shrimp are shaped like shrimp and colored like shrimp, there’s no denying that this is deliberate imitation. And people seem to like it: Members have been clamoring for us to stock it, and so we have. See what you think.

Also by popular demand, we’ve got some spray cooking oils by Spectrum Naturals: your choice of Olive or Grapeseed. Organic, GMO-free, and sprayable. Meanwhile, our line of Reed’s Ginger Brew has a new member, Raspberry Ginger Brew, and likewise the familiar whole-grain Wasa crispbreads are now available in Multigrain. Follow Your Heart, whose vegan mayonnaise has been a strong seller for some time, also makes some great vegan cheeses: We’ve got Mozzarella, Monterey Jack, and Nacho. A member of our intrepid staff made some homemade pizza with it and said it was pretty good, so there you have the preliminary HWFC review.

As always, we’ve got snacks. Light Rye and Dark Rye crackers by Quilts are nice basic crackers without hydrogenated oils or artificial ingredients: They’re new on the shelves. For those who prefer to snack on sweets, Health Valley Creme Cookies are new in stock in four flavors: Chocolate, Vanilla, Double Chocolate, and Chocolate Mint. And nearby is Rice Dream, in Original and Vanilla—which of course we already had but not in this prodigious 64-ounce size. Nearby, Blue Diamond Almond Breeze is newly available in Vanilla and Chocolate, as well as the established Original. And take a look in the refrigerated cases for another much-anticipated treat: Wholly Healthy cookie dough: Oatmeal Raisin, Chocolate Chip, and Peanut Butter.

Not to be outdone, Annie’s Homegrown adds to the salty-snack supply with Cheddar Bunnies. If you find yourself craving those little cheddar fish crackers, but would be happier if they were made from organic wheat flour with no trans-fatty acids, now you can have that wish. Provided you don’t mind eating crackers shaped like rabbits instead of fish. (No word yet on whether the Queen eats these.)

We’ve had a lot of requests for Pittaffo fruit preserves, from Italy, and we’re happy to offer them now. They’re all organic, with no preservatives, just good fruit; try them out. From Peru come Olivico olives, processed entirely organically. Your choice of spiced green olives (with sea salt) and dried black olives (with no salt at all, a real rarity). Of course, if you’re just looking for the salt, Onesto sea salt, from Sicily, is now available—fine or coarse, both from the sea. And while we’re speaking of fine seasonings, don’t miss Pimenton de la Vera paprika, in hot picante and mild dulce. We say the sterling reputation of the spice is justified; if you can find better paprika, anywhere at all, we’d like to know about it.

Meanwhile, from Ithaca Fine Chocolates comes the Art Bar, a classy chocolate bar from our westerly neighbor. he chocolate is not only all organic, it’s made entirely with fairly traded cocoa from small cocoa farmers around the world. Each bar comes with an art print, about the size of a baseball card, by one of a wide array of contemporary artists—including a number of stunningly talented children from all over the world. Ten percent of profits go to support art education, no less. The chocolate, in fact, came about originally as a means of providing wider exposure for the fine arts; after a few bars of this, you’ve become a collector of very small, but remarkably good, art. And not to forget, it’s very good chocolate!
