What new foods have you tried recently?

I had bubble tea at the weekend. It was disgusting and artificial, and the semolina lingered all day. I advise avoiding.

Try Bubble hash...

I'm sure it's a lot nicer.

I've been wanting to try bubble tea for ages! I found a place recently (mentioned earlier in teh thread) but they'd sold out so I got some shit psuedo-bubble tea substitute.

I'm going to have to ignore your opinion and try it regardless. I hope we have different tastes as I'll be gutted if it's rank after waiting all this time!

I had some dark chocolate coated coffee beans earlier. They were really nice!

Booths has been kind to me in the carbohydrate department

I tried cheese and onion weirdoughs(doughrings) yesterday. Tesco are doing them and I only went in for them. They're weird but good! I'd prefer if they had cheese and onion in them rather than flavouring though.

Black pudding and mustard crisps, Callum91! Cor! I'll be getting to Booth's pronto!
Thanks for that.

One of the reasons I adore Booths, always guaranteed to sell really interesting, local produce.

Callum91 I tried some firecracker lobster crisps at the weekend, tracked them down in a local English heritage property cafe. Also got some Guinness crisps too but they weren't detectable after eating the lobster ones

You're not wrong. It's a gradely place.

Whole baby broad bean pods. I thought there couldn't be anything more delicious than broad beans, turns out I was wrong.

Green and blacks dark chocolate with lemon. Bought it thinking it had the potential to be supremely disgusting, but it's lovely

 

[Mogden]

Red bean steamed bun. I rather liked it.

That sounds really nice! That Lindt stuff with the flavoured goo inside is good too, tried the orange and the raspberry so far. I tried those rice cracker things Callum91 mentioned recently too, and I like them but seem to be capable of not eating the whole packet at once so I'll be buying more of them

Have just discovered that comte and dried apricots is not a great combination though

 

[Callum91]

Saw these today whilst browsing the fruit & veg section at Tesco. They combine my favourite colour with a vague reference to a video game I really enjoyed so naturally I had to part with the £1.50 asking price. I do generally prefer non-red tomatoes for eating raw so I should be onto a winner

Callum91

Have you tried these? I have ordered some seeds

 

[Callum91]

Always wanted to sample a black/purple/blue tomato but I've yet to track one down. Forever hopeful...forever looking...forever wondering...what am I missing?

 

[weltweit]

Japanese, with chopsticks.. nice - will do that again.

Dunno yet

I wasn't asking YOU. Always you you you

Cooked a kohlrabi for the first time on friday, I think they might be quite bland on their own, but they were very tasty in the recipe I used. I grated it, mixed it with cream and a bit of nutmeg, put it in a baking dish with covered it with a mixture of pecorino, ground almonds and parsley, before baking.

A kohlrabi yesterday.

and that flavour too. Nice!

Some sausages that had sun-dried tomatoes and basil in them. They were pretty minging but 80p from £3.50 in the tesco tb I couldn't refuse

Hibiscus slushy from the food festival today. Apparently an Ivory Coast staple but relatively unknown here. Fucking lush <3

Rabbit - it's just like chicken really. I bought one off oldham indoor market & did a stew with barley and cider. Yeah, It was alright. It had a label on it that said "China" though - A chinese rabbit? Well I've heard of hung like a chinese mouse but the point is being stretched there.

 

[Hocus Eye.]

It is not a new food to most people but I have finally got around to trying KIwi Fruit. I didn't bother before because it got mediocre ratings. I think the ratings are about right.

Kiwi is lovely but it need to be REALLY ripe to be at its best, imo.

By product of the fur industry. I always avoid them. I want to eat British bunnies dammit.

I had some hibiscus and blackcurrant lemonade recently and it was lovely. The hibiscus gave it a nice sharp edge.
