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.

Tasty Tinies DIY edible cakes

Bake a cake in 25 seconds!
To be honest it is just a microwave cake but still fun.
You get the fun just like cup cake mixtures but slap it in the microwave and the decorate with frosting.
The only problem was the cake which is too soft so it is difficult to ice and it is hard to make layered cakes with filling.
The piping nozzle is too big in ratio as well as the spatula which scratches the mixing bowl.
Anyway, some steps can be skipped, you can just pour water into the cake mixture sachet and mix from there.
The paper oven was cute but not quite sure if it was functional as it was cumbersome putting it in and taking it out as the mold is bigger than the oven door.
Made my own piping bag because the piping nozzle you get with the kit is way too big in proportion to the tiny cake.
