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 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 →
Brand: Estrella Cost: 35KR Found at: ICA Emil and I are snackers. We like to snack. But we are very different in our snack preferences. While I am a sweets girl all the way, munching on chocolates and candies all day long, Emil does not really go in for sweet food between meals. He... Continue Reading →
