Hey guys! So its that time of the month again, I've finally got round to revealing what I received from my Foodie Penpal Nichola this month. I have actually had the package waiting for me since Saturday but because of bank holiday the concierge service in my block of flats were away so I couldn't collect!
But anyway, I've picked it up today & boy am I pleased! - So pleased in fact that I couldn't wait to show you what I've been sent. Oh & please note that Bo Blab is now a grown up & I finally have a decent camera for photos!!!! YES! Creature bought a Lumix DMC-LZ20, 21x optical zoom baby yeahh!
What I received:
Crimbles Original Cheese Bites
Branstons Cheese & Pickle Peanuts & crackers
Taste #5 Umami Paste
Pergale Dark Mango Chocolate
Choceur Hazelnut heaven
Ok so the Branston Pickle peanuts literally lasted 5 minutes, I've been snacking on them after work whilst watching Fools Gold on tele. They really do taste like Branston pickle too! Which is amazing because cheese and pickle is one of my all time favorite flavor combinations.
The Cheese bites I've had similar before with Jacobs Oddities, so I assume they will be much the same - They will be in my bag tomorrow as a snack on my lunch break, yum yum yum!
Nichola has also kindly sent me Umami paste. According to the box, the paste is a Mediterranean puree & perfect for stirfrys, pasta sauces & soups etc.. I absolutely LOVE cooking so this is going to be great to experiment with. I'm planning on making a tomato soup soon so I think I may add a little squirt into the stock and see what happens!
Finally, I also received two very yummy big bars of chocolate (very generous!) I mentioned in my email to Nichola that I enjoyed dark high % cocoa chocolates, so the Pergale dark choc looks amazing, and so unusual with the mango filling. She also sent a big ole' bar of hazelnut chocolate which just looks so yummy. You can see the huge whole nuts in the top so I can't wait to dig into that. I think Creature might even pinch this one off me! _______________________________________________ If you would like to sign up to Foodie Pen Pals (& I seriously recommend you do) click here for more information.
