What new foods have you tried recently?

Cheesy nuts (felix crispers cheese).

I've got a savoury tooth and these are nuts, with a crispy cheese flavour coating, and onionfree. Luckily they're only available if I go to one shop in Streatham or I could be looking at an expensive habit.

Spooky Shreddies! Quite nice actually, cinnamon frosted. They feel heavily inspired by US cereals, not overly frosted. Addictive, been double fisting them dry straight from the box. Worth a punt at £2 (Tesco is where I found mine).
 
saw black salt used on tv by TK on hairy bikers gromet.

found it at my local fijian indian grocery.
it was 4x salt price and pink not black.

smells a bit of sulfur but wow what a lovely seasoning.
have googled and its a goodin. great stuff.
apparently it is used on/with fruit as well.

I really like curiously cinnamon but its way too sugary. Will have to investigate the shreddies :)

They're nicer than Curiously Cinnamon but not as good as Golden Grahams (if the three cereal could possibly be placed on the same scale).
 
Just done a whole pan of herring milts with a lemon, caper and dill sauce. Wow! will be doing them regularly and at £4 a key you can't go wrong.

I've always fried up the milts/roe when I've done herring as a treat, but this is the first time they've been the main part of a meal
 
I just tried this lemon & mint fizzy drink, bought from Waitrose. Alas, lemonade with a backnote of toothpaste... <snip>
I quite liked that, but it has to be properly cold because otherwise the mint note is more like stale sweat. :(
 
Instant porridge (with bits!) which you're supposed to mix in a mug. Much larger flakes than ready brek - the oats are huge but very thin.

Szybki sernik - sernik is usually "soft cheese" but it's also the word for the creamy bit of a cheesecake (szybki is one word for "quick").

You mix it into half a mug of cold milk, stir for a few minutes, don't put it in the fridge, and there you have it - almost instant middle of the cheesecake, for one person. :cool:

You can really smell it in good Bombay mix, that eggy smell when you open the bag :thumbs:
 
The other day I bought for the first time snack a jacks salt and vinegar flavour, except it's more like salt and battery acid and all the skin round my mouth is peeling off but i'm still eating them.
 
Swedish glace used to do a really good chocolate flavour, and at one time mini lollies with vanilla covered in chocolate. I can't eat the vanilla unless it's covered in chocolate sauce and choc chips because otherwise it's so dull!

That's just what salt & vinegar flavour tastes like.
 
How was it? I'm sick of Swedish glacé, bored of sorbet and that booja booja stuff is :eek: expensive.

I liked it, its quite sweet so you cant go nuts with it (which is good), it was £3.49 in waitrose so a bit pricey, but they do mint choc chip and pecan flavour too.
 
Aubergine. Not really had much to do with it till recently. I made crisps yesterday that were delicious; I wolfed them all from the cooling rack!

I have also made aubergine stacks: grilled slices of aubergine made as a triple sandwich (using pesto as the maragrine) with salami, tomato, cheese and peperoni as the filling. And baked in the oven. Very tasty.
