Good Stuff and lots of it! Here’s the low down on some fine things to see, sip or savour – all of which I’ve recently come across and thought were worth sharing with you. Enjoy.
Another Country in Marylebone has introduce eco-friendly cleaning brand Common Good to its household and utility collection, the first time the brand has to the UK. Kemey and I have been doing my dishes with Common Good’s lavender dish soap (compliments of Another Country) and loving the squeaky clean dishes that smell so nice!
Have you tried these yet? Made of only three ingredients – pecans, dates, and almonds – they’re super tasty and very filling. I like everything I’ve tried from the Nakd Bar range but the Pecan Pie is especially worth keeping an out for. I’ve seen them at Tesco and Waitrose priced between 70p and 90p.
Pieminster has cooked up a range of limited edition Christmas pies. Apparently I’ve been a good boy this year as Santa got in touch with me via Pieminster to send a sample selection my way to review. I really enjoyed the Mistlemoo (made with British beef and free range British prosciutto with Aged Long Clawson Stilton and chestnuts in a rich red wine and port sauce) and the Merry Berry (made free range British turkey and bacon with roast parsnips, sherry, red wine and cranberries). And Kemey certainly didn’t mind having a taste of Pieminster’s Vegetarian Society Approved Christingle pie (made with Cheddar cheese and honey-roast parsnips with leeks and chestnuts). Like all Pieminster pies, these are made using responsibly sourced ingredients such as 100% free range British meat.
Primrose’s Kitchen Raw 5 Seed Butter
Healthy, filling, and (most importantly) delicious, the newly launched Raw 5 Seed Butter from Primrose’s Kitchen is a great naturopathic alternative to peanut butter. Ingredients include pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, cold pressed sunflower oil, linseeds, chia seeds, hulled hemp seed, cold pressed linseed oil, cold pressed pumpkinseed oil, “and nothing else”. I like mine on a hot piece of toast.
Tesco Own-Label Single Hopped Kentish Ale
Tesco has launched a new own-label Single Hopped Kentish Ale. The beer has been produced in collaboration with UK brewer Shepherd Neame and is in support of the British Hop Association. It’s and easy drink to recommend as well, especially to anyone who lives a clean, light ale that’s still got plenty of flavourful character.
