Lola’s Coffee coffee bags from The Speciality Coffee Shop combines flavour and convenience

Caroline von Schmalensee June 24, 2020 June 24, 2020
Coffee bags: just as convenient as tea bags.

You’ve probably seen the adverts for coffee bags, the one where someone says ‘why haven’t we thought of that before?’ and you get a series of glimpses of when people did have the idea but it was lost for whatever reason. I’ve seen them. Now, I’ve tried them (although not…

Calm Coffee – caffeine and CBD? That I’d like to try

Caroline von Schmalensee February 25, 2020 February 25, 2020
Calm's lattes and ground coffee contain CBD, if that's your thing.

Every now and then, we’re offered products to review. Over the last couple of years, we’ve had a few offers for CBD products, from chews to beauty products. I’ve not accepted any of them because I’m not particularly interested in CBD (and we do food, not supplements). Then I was…

World vegan month: the postman brought my breakfast (and lunch. And dinner.)

Caroline von Schmalensee November 19, 2019 November 18, 2019
Feed. haul - if this was YouTube, I'd have given you an unboxing video. Yay.

Veganism is increasingly popular: some go plant based for the environment, some for the animals, some for health. Whatever the reason, it’s changing the food landscape. There are a host of vegan options in my local supermarket and new companies pop up online all the time. I decided to try a…

Drinks Biscuits – the snack paired to be eaten with drinks

Kerry Teakle July 2, 2019 July 2, 2019
Cornish Saison beer paired with Drinks Biscuits Lancashire Cheese & Spring Onion

Who doesn’t love something to nibble on when imbibing?  I certainly do.  I normally have a supply of the dough for my mum’s legendary cheese biscuits or Wendy Barrie’s savoury shortbreads in the freezer but on less organised days, then I sometimes have to resort to something shop-brought.  Of course,…

AVA strawberries – manna and ambrosia in fruit form

Caroline von Schmalensee June 28, 2019 June 28, 2019
There are few things that says summer to me as loudly and clerarly as a strawberry and whipped cream sponge.

I jumped on the email that offered to send me some strawberries, then went to Glasgow and left Christopher to wait for them. Last Friday, a basket with over a kilo of AVA strawberries arrived. Christopher promptly – and quite rightly – had a punnet for dessert. The livingroom was…

National Chocolate Week – any reason for a supermarket chocolate tasting

Caroline von Schmalensee October 12, 2018 October 12, 2018
Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. I know something about my palate that I didn't before. Or maybe it's about my psychology.

Next week is chocolate week. I’m not a chocolate nut but I am a chocolate snob. As you know, if you’ve followed us for a while, I’m a fan of savoury things: salty licorice, all things umami. It’s the same with chocolate. I like the dark stuff. So, for fun…
