Truffle makes everything feel luxurious, even when it’s a hot sauce you slather onto some tacos.

The notoriety of Milk Bar in New York City is hard to overstate, but now everyone can get its super sweet treats delivered to them no matter there they live. The cookies probably travel the best, and they have a longer shelf life. 

Pork rinds are so last food fad. Fried fish skins are where it’s at. And there’s no fishiness, we promise. 

Fried chicken lovers know the skin is the best part. Now you can eat a whole bag of them, and you’ll probably never eat potato chips again.

Haribo’s reign of gummy sweet dominance is over. Behave is just as good (arguably better) and the flavors — raspberry, passionfruit and lychee — actually taste like what they are.

Arby’s may “have the meats,” but Porter Road has the meat you actually want to eat.

If you know someone whose motto is “the stinkier the cheese the better,” they’re surely going to love this curated box of cheese and accoutrements from Jasper Hill Farm.

Caviar on its own is good. Uni? It’s great. Together mixed with pasta is not for the faint of heart, but it might be the best thing you eat all year.
