Vermont Switchel Company Switchel: an invigorating, unique blend of maple syrup, lemon, ginger, apple cider vinegar, and molasses. A great option for those who don't want an overly sweet beverage. Perfect accompaniment to a meaty sandwich. Would be even more awesome if it were carbonated! 4.0/5.0

I found this particular brand of pre-made, frozen buns in a Chinatown grocery store in Boston. Though a serving size is a single bun, I eat two for breakfast to feel satiated. The buns are surprisingly good steamed in a rice cooker; the amount of steamed white bread feels substantial, and the red bean filling is sweet, but not overpoweringly so.
