Courgettes with flowers

Just for fun, felt like posting these pictures of courgettes with flowers in my green house!
In UK we call them courgettes but in other countries they called them Zucchini and the skin is a paler shade of green.

Schweppes +C lemon

This drink was quite nice, it tasted more lemony and more natrual than 7-up or sprite.

It claims to provide you with your daily dose of vitamin C too.

There is another version with honey as well which is also good.


McRubbish

Noticed there was a half finished burger infront of the McDonalds poster so I thought it would be amusing to photograph it.

However it was really hard because there were so many people walking by so I could only get a side shot, not long before that a lady came and cleaned the mess!

Cassachips

Before eating them I assumed they were normal potato crisps, but when I tried them, they were hard and the patterns were slightly different, with lines radiating from the centre.

After googling Cassiva, it turns out that it is a root vegetable because I thought Cassiva was the brand name before that. It is also used for making tapioca pearls.






Sapporo Salty bubbles - Grapefruit flavour



Was attracted by the bottle because of the coloured dots.
On a closer looked it said Salty Bubbles which I thought was interesting and the flavour was grapefruit.
I did not expect it to taste nice because a lot of Asian foods mix savory and sweet tastes together.

I also thought it was alcoholic to begin with because Sapporo has a lot of beers under its brand.

Anyway found out it was not alcoholic so I got it.

I was really surprised I liked the taste because it tastes like the natrual grapefruit which is sour and usually I put a pince of salt with my grapefruit, and there was no sweet taste at all so this is my favourite fizzy drink.

Although it is meant to be salty, I couldnt taste any saltiness in it.
It just tastes like natrual grapefruit with the bitterness.
From their website they have a lime flavour as well.

Again I can't stand these Japanese websites because I can't read Japanese!

Cute mini Japanese pots of sweet snacks

These colourful tiny pots caught my attention but I can't read Japanese so I did not know what they were.
Although the lids are different colours the flavours were all the same according to the shop keeper, she did not know what they were exactly but she said they were yogurt.

Anyway when I opened it, the stuff inside was like white whipped cream.

It was sugary as well with a faint taste of yakult but very sweet.
The colour of it was white and slightly glistening.
It came with a cute wooden stick (spatula) just like those lolly sticks.
