Arya pistachio paste [No added sugar]

Seriously delicious without any sweeteners but bloody expensive for 8.99.
Once opened you have to refrigerate and consume within a week which is difficult.

Sainsburys Custard cream twists with peaches and cream filling

The peaches was cream had that artificial aroma and smell which was expected but the biscuit part was quite sweet which distracts you from that.

Sainsburys bourbon twists with black forest flavour cream filling

I was really excited with the new black forest which is sold well with that lovely green and red festive look.
Although the cherry aroma was artificial, I really enjoyed it as the chocolate biscuit complimented it so well.
Can't wait to get my hands on the gingerbread one.

M&S Food olive ciabatta rolls

Seriously lush green olive ciabatta rolls from M&S food.
They stay fresh for quite a while after being opened.

Coop white sourdough bloomer with sun dried tomatoes, jalapeno and green pepper

Visually colourful so was the bloomer bag which was red and black.

Tasted nice but a bit spicy.

Sainsburys plain sugared ring doughnuts

Got these plain doughnuts to experiment with some unsweetened pistachio paste that I recently bought.
On its own, the dough isn't as yeasty or as nice as the jam ones but I can't figure out why.

Serious Pig snacking cheese

Another brand of popped cheese in the market.
The taste reminds me of Cathedral cheese.

Coca cola zero sugar limited edition oreo

Unfortunately, couldn't taste the oreo at all.
Just tasted like regular coke zero with an intense sweetness and vanilla.

The Future of Food

Not for the faint hearted but there is a Future of Food discovery zone in London until 22nd September where you can try meal worms and crickets as well as algae.

The discovery zone will explore exciting food trends and future gazing concepts like:

INSECTS, LAB GROWN, ZERO WASTE, FERMENTED FOODS, SEAWEED & ALGAE, FUNGI, HERITAGE GRAINS, HYDROPONICS, NECTARS.

I tried the Bugvita crickets and Entopro mealworms.

The mealworms were crispy and tasted beefy while the crickets just tasted of the flavour and the texture was like fried prawn legs/heads.

DISCOVERY ZONE:

2a St James's Market, St. James's, London SW1Y 4HA

Lidl Emily in Paris week Duc de coeur escargot/cooked snails

The escargots/snails were actually ok.
You can't beat France or the one in Soho but better than some restaurants in other countries.
