I thought it time I review a few of the products we’ve come across so far in our travels.
First up it’s Nougat Pillows, a breakfast cereal Julian brought home from Lidl a few days ago. Lidl is kind of like an Aldi, that stocks cheap imported goods, often in bulk quantities. Apparently, this was the most normal cereal he could find. As most of you know, I have a real sweet tooth. But I usually draw the line at breakfast, as I’m not a huge fan of sweet cereals.
I think I went into a sugar coma this morning after trying this cereal! The cereal comes in little parcels. The outer surface is a biscuity product that I would liken to “Pods”, for those Australians watching at home! The centre is a soft, gooey “nougat” that basically tastes like chocolate and hazelnut – Nutella! The cereal is certainly delicious, but I would classify it as a dessert! Definitely a “sometimes food” only…
The second product came highly recommended from Kate, our Australian friend in Scotland. She bought us some, with the severe warning not to consume more than 3 in one sitting! They are the Scottish institution, Tunnocks Tea Cakes. These little bundles of joy are essentially a layer of biscuit, covered with a mound of marshmallow and covered with milk chocolate. Kate, we now understand the reason for the warning – Julian proclaimed after trying one that he could easily eat 6 in one sitting!
