Always look forward to your taste test videos, love both of your reactions to the new items. Brent is hilarious he is so honest. ❤

I put the mango jicama salad on fish tacos.

[@karenmoran3707]

Jicama has the texture of an uncooked potato and slight apple and pear flavor. Very healthy.

[@SY-zd9gx]

Love watching you both! Always fun to watch. I will stay away from the flavor of the summer. Your faces said it all lol.

[@ElizabethMills-ys5pv]

I love that the peanuts are separate in the jicama salad.

[@isagoldfield7393]

True, otherwise I can’t eat that salad….allergic to peanuts:(

[@dianamcclinton8821]

Jicama is my favorite! I get the sticks at Trader Joe’s and put the chili lime seasoning (or Tajin) on it. It’s a veggie

[@jeannine.]

I bought the Carrot Cake too, so glad to hear it is good. Will enjoy it later in the day. Thanks for your great video. Love your reviews.

[@koreyb]

This was really funny!

[@Rogue1417]

Jicama has earthy brown scaly peel. Resembles big sweet potato, very similar texture. It's hood shredded in a homemade Asian slaw like salad.

[@isagoldfield7393]

Love Jicama♥️

[@Rogue1417]

I sometimes put chicken or pork loin in the crockpot and toss different jelly, spreads, preserves in. Occasionally will add little of whatever fruit was in the jelly. Good mix is hot pepper cranberry preserve with either chix/pork add a few cranberries, sliced apple last hr. Just be cause to tilt the lid a bit towards end of cooking to reduce the condensation from turning to excess liquid. That takes away the preserve flavor.

[@Mrs_Turner2013]

@@Rogue1417 that’s a great idea and sounds like something I would like. We’ll definitely give it a try maybe with pork. That sounds good ☺️

[@lorim8404]

Jicama is crunchy too

[@lorettacali10370]

Great video! I love how he made fun of your pronunciation then followed up with Ji-kama😂 instead of Jicama ❤

Just got back from Trader Joe’s a little while ago. I don’t get to go off because it’s not close by but I did pick up that carrot cake and I’m glad that I did. The store was sold out of almost everything. It was so crowded and I got there on the late side, but I was able to get the carrot cake.

[@kaleediamond224]

I will try that carrot cake. I just bought the peach and raspberry crumble for the second time because that was so good. Carrot cake is next on my list.

[@moakley60]

Years ago Trader Joe's sold a jicama slaw that was good served on top of ready to heat and serve BBQ pulled pork in a tortilla.

[@jeslovesjesus]

When I got the lemon cake they had like the carrot cake one it was SOOO dry. I love carrot cake but I have trust issues with those cakes now 😂

[@KatieJoMikell]

I have this and I too hate peanuts in salads. I think this is like a salad. I don’t know. Mine was delicious but had no peanuts.

[@susanmilnes8612]

“What am I eating?” 😂

[@Rogue1417]

Forgot, jicama fries are really good. Use in place of potato, make the same way.

[@glee105]

Jicama is a radish.

[@Mrs_Turner2013]

@@glee105 ooh okay, I had no idea. Thanks makes sense now

[@marykoufalis7666]

Actually if I may just make a small correction. Jicama comes from the potato family and only LOOKS like a radish, it does not come from the family of radishes. It has a crispy texture similar to a chestnut or an apple.​@Mrs_Turner2013

[@carmelcornr1715]

Does the carrot cake have nuts and/or raisins in it?

[@marykoufalis7666]

During the grocery haul I do remember her reading some of the ingredients and it has walnuts.

[@saavns4245]

Well no carrot cake for me

[@marykoufalis7666]

@saavns4245 Please verify the ingredients in case i'm wrong. I'm sure if you google the carrot cake from trader joe's it will list the ingredients
