Sorry, I’m a little late with my reveal for July; I’ve had such a lot going on in the last week and have not found time to open my parcel, let alone write my post.
Anyway, my parcel this month came from the lovely Kelly in Scotland. I received my parcel a little late this month as Kelly was going away, and I had so much going on that I replied late, so I had to wait until she came back – though it was my fault, not hers! It was worth the wait anyway, as always though I haven’t had chance to try a lot yet, but looking forward to doing so.
I received a lovely little card and a handwritten note this month explaining what all of the products were:
Here’s a peek at all the goodies. Lots of variety, as usual, from my pen pal!:
I love to receive international foods and different flavours I haven’t tried before, and that’s what I got this month. Kelly lives in a very multicultural area, so she wanted to give me a ‘taste’ of it, so to speak.
So, for the savoury things:
- Some chilli and lemon toasted corn. I’m looking forward to trying this, as I love chilli and lemon flavours, but I haven’t had them together yet. I am assured it is lovely and moreish, though!
- Henderson’s Sauce flavoured crisps, which Kelly picked up in Yorkshire while she was away. I love locally made crisps as they usually have that amazing crunch to them; the same goes for these, they’re a lush flavour too, a little like Worcestershire sauce.
- A packet of duck flavour noodles, a favourite with the students apparently, as they’re nicer than Pot Noodles! I love duck, so I’m looking forward to trying them.
- A pack of biryani masala mix. This is one of our favourite takeaway dishes, so I’m already planning when to use it.
- A sachet of marinade for pork ribs. Ribs are a bit of a delicacy for us, so I’m also looking forward to trying them!
- And some ‘Holy Basil’ seasoning paste – Kelly sent me this because she loved the name of it! I have to say it is a rather cool name! It might be nice with some chicken & tomato dish.
And now for the sweet goodies:
- A peanut-flavoured Lion bar. Kelly had never heard of these until she visited her local Polish deli; I had, and they are yummy, so I was delighted to find one in my package.
- A ‘Ba!’ cereal bar. Again, I love the name! It was delicious, too; Little Man can also vouch for that…
- Some Tunnocks Caramel wafer biscuits. I’m sure everyone knows what these are, again, delighted to find these!
- Some Pepero chocolate sticks, a Korean version of Mikado with almonds, are a nice light snack. I’m munching on them right now!
- And finally, some mint tea from a local company. I always like finding local produce in my packages, just in case I ever visit the area my parcel came from.
I won’t be participating in the swap for August, but if you would like to find out more and join in, look over on the Rock Salt blog.
