This is really a recipe for hot chocolate of incredible dissolution value, but I will start off by mentioning my other favourite produce from the hot chocolate ingredient mongers. Meadow Cottage Farmhouse Dairy Produce do incredible things with the milk from their Jersey herd. We shall come to the cream and milk, but their ice [...]
I’ve wanted to write about Hill Farm Apple Juice for ages – visiting for an orchard walk and tasting finally provided a great excuse. Hill Farm Apple Juice is so good I prefer it to most wine. Not hilariously fine wine, you understand, but most of the wine that most people drink most of the [...]
Sadly the legal minds at Elitistreview have reminded me that titles like this are the sort of thing the dreary fun police and their miserable, misanthropic informers pounce upon just in case there is a suggestion that someone might be having a laugh. Consequently, I must point out that anyone below whatever age is required [...]
I despise grocery shopping – supermarkets just bore me to tears. The only thing that allows me to survive a shopping trip is the promise that I can buy some form of silly drink to amuse me as I trek home with bags of food. Whilst I’ve been stuck in hospital I have been brought [...]
I had a rather late night last night, indeed it dragged into what could be called a somewhat dissolute mid-morning. Consequently, when I hauled myself out of bed bright and early this afternoon I thought I’d make myself one of the brilliant Singatoba Nespresso coffees. It was indeed brilliant, and I felt moderately perked up. [...]
The the partner gave me a couple of years ago has been quite the success story. From when I first got it the quality of coffee it pumps out was revelatory, particularly as you went up the strength levels`\ they just got better and better. The Ristretto pod was the best espresso I had ever [...]
OK, let’s get to the point: this is one of the most wonderful coffees I’ve had in my life. Now if I may expand (it is the anti-psychotics*, they make me so amazingly hungry) I’ll tell you why is is so good. As the Nespresso machine was pumping this coffee out my entire kitchen was [...]
I went out into Town today to meet the partner for lunch. . Before meeting up I went to a Nero Express coffee bar and ordered a double espresso. It was one of the most piss-awful coffees I’ve had in my entire life. Thin, bitter and lacking in complexity. Vile. After I’d choked back the [...]
When we were away for larks in Burgundy and Alsace my chum Non-Stinky Jeff ordered a bottle of iced tea at a drinking establishment. Cue sneers and disapproving looks. I suppose I must have been a teenager when I last tried iced tea and that was enough to make me know I’d hate it forever. [...]
Not much of a post, I’m afraid, but I am charged with energy and need to write something. This is because I’ve had six of the super-brilliant espressos this morning. Bloody brilliant, I tell you. Honestly, I’ve never had better espresso, and the only time I felt more charged with dark power was when I’ve [...]
