Biscoff choc ices. ❤

 

[rubbershoes]

Just ate a pack of McVities Digestive Marmalade On Toast and can confirm they are delightful

Just ate a pack of McVities Strawberrys & Cream and can confirm they are far from delightful

Just ate a pack of McVities Digestive Classic Caramel and can confirm they are quite delightful

Never heard of any of those.

I was going to ask if they were some version only sold in the USA, but then noticed that you'd borrowed petee's picture

It’s a black and white photo, dunno why you’ve got confused. It’s a different photo.
I bought them in the supermarket

Ben and Jerry's Birthday cake icecream-its fucking amazing!
And also Oatly dairy free strawberry icecream-also amazing.

Biscoff choc ices. ❤

Where can you buy these?

 

[Aladdin]

Strong cheddar hickory crisps.
They were horrible

 

[Tankus]

Chipotle pepper sauce..... Now my number one hot sauce ..... Smokey and a perfect level of heat for me

 

[Chilli.s]

Pickled dandelion heads... made these a few weeks ago, not unpleasant and have a taste of their own, very easy to make. More unusual than essential.

Where can you buy these?

Well I assumed everywhere, but can't see them anywhere except Waitrose. I think they're quite new, so will hopefully become more widespread. They do a tub of Biscoff ice cream, too!

I bought some in Tesco today

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Iranian food. Had chicken in a pomegranate and walnut sauce. Was all right. Probably won't go again though. Shame because I wanted to like it more than I did.

Amazing value though as the restaurant gave us masses of rice, olives, hummus, salads, yogurt/beetroot dip all thrown in for free.

Ate a dried mealworm today

Ate a dried mealworm today

On purpose?

 

[Badgers]

On purpose?

Sadly yes.

 

[Callie]

Hmm. Was it in a 'well robins like em, let's see what all the fuss is about' kind of way??

Too long in Lockdown and badgers has gone feral !

I got a bag of mealworm for the birds. Was interested so tried one. Tasted like you would expect a dried worm to taste tbh.

Confess that I then tried a teaspoon of them with a little bit of cream cheese that was slightly better than the dry mealworm on it's own.

 

[iona]

Pork pie with marmite in the jelly. YES.

I thought about trying one of the two massive caterpillars I accidentally boiled with some broccoli the other day. Didn't, but more coz they looked all cold and rubbery and overcooked than because they were caterpillars.

 

[UrbaneFox]

Blueberry crumble ice cream from Waitrose.

No big deal.

 

[belboid]

Jackfruit.

Meant to a while back then forgot. Saw a tin (literally one) in Tesco so picks it up. One vegan pulled pork later and it definitely passed approval. Very nice.

 

[Orang Utan]

A guayusa energy drink. Slow release caffeinated drink that won’t give you the jitters like coffee and other energy drinks like Red Bull can. Tastes a bit like sock juice but no worse than drinking a coffee. And it comes in fruity flavours to partially obliterate the sockiness

 

[dessiato]

I've been making labneh. It's great. Now I need more ideas for using it than just in sandwiches.

 

[urbanspaceman]

Marks and Spencer charcuterie crisps. Delicious, and contain the two key food groups: fat and salt

M&S just launched three delicious flavours of charcuterie crisps

We’re well into summer now, which means picnic season is in full swing. And our go-to for the best picnic snacks? It is, of course, our beloved ...

Mmmm meat crisps - had some chorizo ones from Tesco earlier this week

Ginsters vegan quorn pasty.

Boring dry white pastry, thin filling consisting of thin pieces of quorn cardboard in some sort of brown gravy - no veggies - ridiculously small - explaining why it was so low in calories ...
If I'd seen it out of its packaging, I wouldn't have bothered and I wonder why they did ...

I used to have a weakness for Linda McCartney's pies in the days when I wasn't worrying about my weight and they were pretty decent in comparison - combined with mashed potato and frozen peas ... I doubt even heating this thing up would have made much difference ...

The Ginsters van was almost always waiting for me outside the bike shed at work when I arrived - and quite often provoked a sarcastic comment from me.
I'm pretty sure they're on the same Tory/Brexit blacklist as Dyson and Wetherspoons, but I was at work and I'd visited the site shop in the hope of finding my usual wholemeal vegan pasty, but it was all they had and my colleague had unfortunately mentioned their existence ...

 

[BoatieBird]

Zhoug. A spicy paste made from coriander, cloves, parsley and a green chilli.
Delicious. I had it stirred into couscous but I imagine it would be nice on chicken or lamb too.
Will definitely be having it again.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

A limelon - a bastardised cross between a melon and lime. It does taste nice and citrusy.

I got a bag of mealworm for the birds. Was interested so tried one. Tasted like you would expect a dried worm to taste tbh.

Confess that I then tried a teaspoon of them with a little bit of cream cheese that was slightly better than the dry mealworm on it's own.

You should make a creamy pasta mealworm dish. We'll all be eating insects in the future anyway, so may as well get used to it.

A friend tried the onion straws and concluded that they were ' really shit'. Be interesting to hear your opinion .
