Damn you covid it's been a long two years 

Also trying the new walkers sensation cracker type things, lime pickle flavour, nails the flavour and the heat, little on the crunchy side and I'd prefer it as a crisp but they're really good, loads of flavour

I know America hating is trendy and boring, but honestly American chocolate is awful. Even the American versions of European chocolate, or American versions of chocolate available in Europe like snickers or Mars or whatever. It’s full of that anti melt stuff that both makes it taste awful and means it doesn’t melt in your mouth. Every time any of us at work goes back to the UK the demand is always to bring back any European chocolate.

Anyway, for dinner tonight I made miso steak kebabs. Bought some nice rib eye steaks, chopped them up into cubes, slathered them in miso paste and left them overnight, skewered them then threw them on the bbq. Served with a medley of roasted veggies (aubergine, peppers, mushrooms, onion and pear (the sweetness of the pear is amazing with the miso)) seasoned with smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, salt and thyme, and then a fattoush, hummus and flat breads (I’m a sucker for Arabic food). Veggie and kebab recipe courtesy of DJ BBQ, who’s a nutter but his recipes are legit.

I've had a good look this week and I can't find anywhere selling the proper original crunchy Cheetos, love them

Wotsits are apparently doing them now too but can't find them either

Try a couple of corner shops. The ones round me all do the twisted hot Cheetos and various flavours of the crunchy ones.

I strongly suspect that’s due to a reduction in salt content. Salt is an amazing flavour enhancer but the push to reduce salt has reduced the perceived taste in so many processed foods that had previously had a ‘fixed’ taste for years.

I do most of my household’s cooking, usually from scratch rather than pre-prepared or processed foods, but if I reduce the salt, I soon get comments like ‘it’s nice but not as good as the same meal you cooked couple of weeks ago’. Two weeks later I’ll cook it again with slightly more salt and get ‘that’s better’ comments.

I'm a big marmite fan (don't judge me !) and I just bought a jar of their new twist. Now I've no idea what truffles taste like as I am poor scum (perhaps @Xela can advise ? 😉) but I'm a bit meh about it. £4.50 a jar too !

A frippin mahoosive doorstop sandwich. Mrs Sidcow even commented on how enormous mine was. 

Made with beautiful English bread handbaked this morning at Smithtons Food market at Sharmans Cross, Shirley, an easy walk from my house. 

I have to say the bread was amazing. Had to look away from the cakes and pastries though.... Oh my.
