Enjoy the things you can afford
Brand: Maika’i Cost: $2.69 Found at: Foodland My first experience of plantain was that of betrayal. I wanted a banana and got a potato in a banana suit. I think this is a common experience, and I, for one, am still getting over the trauma. Still, I pride myself that I am doing the necessary... Continue Reading →
Brand: Yamayoshi Found at: Bokkusu Yuzu (pronounced “you-zoo”) is having a little bit of a hipster moment right now and I am so excited. Yuzu is an Asian citrus fruit that looks like a knobbly clementine and tastes a little like a lemon and a little like a lime. It is used in a lot... Continue Reading →
Brand: Sozai Found at: Bokkusu Oh no. I don’t even know where to start. These are horrific to the point that my brain cannot process the information that my mouth is giving me. Imagine butter popcorn that is also mushroom flavored. Now imagine that it is not only mushroom flavored, but artisanal mushroom flavored, with... Continue Reading →
Brand: Sozai Found at: Bokkusu This is the most hipster thing I think I’ve ever eaten and I LOVE IT. I’m a dyed-in-the-wool hipster, after all; how could I not? And as a hipster extraordinaire, I can attest that gobo is possibly the most absurd of the obscure Japanese vegetables. There’s just nothing... Continue Reading →
Brand: Nim’s Cost: £1.15 Found at: Tesco What do you get when you take the water out of a watermelon? I’m eating it, and I still don’t know. What I do know is that this is not some sanitized version of a watermelon – the greatest hits, so to speak – this is the... Continue Reading →
Brand: Sensations Cost: 90p Found at: Morrisons In the years I spent out and about in the adult world, I had forgotten just how social school-life is. I had happily gotten myself happily ensconced in the comfortably formal work relationships and increasingly distant friend relationships that define millennial early adulthood. And, being somewhat introverted... Continue Reading →
Brand: Nim’s Found at: Tesco Cost: £1 Usually, when someone is marketing a bold food combination, it is a sign that it is actually a food innovation. If I look at something and think: ‘there’s no way that will work,’ it's a good sign that it is actually so good that the flavor can... Continue Reading →
Brand: Walkers Found at: Tesco Cost: 85p Aside from a name which I usually associate with of over-the-counter prophylactics, these chips are off the chart! Chips are not normally my indulgence of choice. I like them, but I generally only make it through 4 or 5 before handing the bag off to Emil for demolition.... Continue Reading →
Brand: Kettle Cost: £0.90 Found at: Sainsbury’s Being ladies of great refinement and taste, cruelly underfinanced for the lavish lifestyle to which we wish we could become accustomed, several female classmates and I took decided to visit Pollok house for the weekend to bask in a state of refinement. The house itself is a... Continue Reading →
Brand: Morrison’s Cost: £1.00 Found at: Morrison’s Every day, I try to take a little time out to be grateful for having been born in the era of hipster nonsense. Sure, I have to put up with such silly things as puppuccinos, edible bentonite clay, and monetized Whole 30 Instagram accounts, but life is about... Continue Reading →
