I was pretty sure I had experienced disappointment in my life before today. Clearly, I was wrong. This past Thanksgiving, on my way to visit with family in Gonzalez, I picked up some almonds flavored like buffalo chicken wings at a Walmart in Luling. The similarity in taste was uncanny and, for a vegetarian who misses chicken wings, a gold mine of a find. I've been craving these almonds since then but haven't been able to find them anywhere in the city. HEB doesn't carry them. Target doesn't carry them. Neither CVS or Walgreens carry them. While I was grocery shopping at HEB today, I saw these almonds. I thought perhaps Blue Diamond Almonds had changed the name of the flavoring; it happens all the time, right? I thankfully stopped myself from buying two jars. I say "thankfully" because, folks, these are not the same almonds I bought in Luling. My spirits fell the moment I pulled back the foil. I immediately knew I'd been mistaken. Alas, the search for the elusive chicken wing almonds continues.
