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.
Bart Ingredients’ Panch Phoran
I’ve been enjoying cooking with Bart’s panch phoran. This Bengali five spice mix adds instant oomph to any range of otherwise meh dishes.
Morrisons Signature Palo Cortado
Over Christmas and New Years, I was genuinely pleased with the sipping from a bottle of Morrisons Signature Palo Cortado. The dry sherry produced for Morrisons by Lustau was a rich and rather salty treat – and awesome value at just under six quid. I’m looking forward to tasting more of its range of sherries and other wines.
Have you tried a Nutella B-Ready bar yet? It’s full on Nutella yum with a crispy wafer crunch in the form of a handy dandy bar. I’m not sure they’re officially launched in the UK yet, but I got mine at the Covent Garden outlet of Cyber Candy which had a three-for-two offer on B-Ready when I was there about a week ago.
You couldn’t call ‘em health food, but with no artificial colourings or flavourings and at least 30% less fat and 18% less calories than other standard fried vegetable crisps, Scrubbys [the brand does the no apostrophe thing – not me] gluten free, vegetarian, vegan friendly vegetable crisps are certainly a healthier snack that’s just as satisfying and more flavoursome than many an alternative crisp. Scrubbys come in two varieties: a four vegetable mix of Beetroot, Sweet Potato, Parsnip & Carrot crisps with Sea Salt and Parsnip Crisps with Chilli & Lime Zing. I liked both and found the sweet potato crisps especially difficult not to strip mine out of a pack.
These look absolutely delicious, I know they aren’t as healthy as they are ‘made out to be’ but man I love vegetable crisps xx
Yeah, they’re yummy. I really like the sweet potato crisps.
