Jaffa Cakes, Yoghurt and veggies

The past couple of days in Hammersmith Muller have been handing out a variety of yoghurts. On Tuesday they handed out the Omega 3 variety. Half way through munching I realised they didn’t have a nice vegetarian friendly green tick or for that matter an ingredients list. I checked their website. Are they suitable for vegetarians? NO! more here due to the refined fish oils. Yum. Tasty.

Yesterday they were giving away the regular Muller Light. Not to be fooled like I was on Tuesday I checked the website before tucking in. Are they suitable for veggies? No. I guess they have ground up hooves and trotters or lips and arseholes or gelatine as the food industry like to call it ;o)

So today Clare brought in Jaffa Cakes. I know these are veggie friendly and also delicious. However a little interwebnet sleuthing and guess what. They aren’t orange after all. The jelly is merely orange coloured – it is in fact made out of Apricot Jelly and only contains Tangerine Oil. Who knew?

1. What drinking water do you prefer — tap, bottle, purifier, etc.?

sparkling mineral please, but I drink tap water most often.

2. What are your favourite flavour of chips?

I’m presuming they mean “flavour” and “crisps” and that would have to be plain (ready salted). Unless you count grain waves as crisps and then we open a whole new kettle of chips 😉

3. Of all the things you can cook, what dish do you like the most?

thai vegetable noodle soup.

4. How do you have your eggs?

poached on toast with fresh spinach and drizzled with some basil oil.

5. Who was the last person who cooked you a meal? How did it turn out?

Dr D cooked for me and it was really nice we had his mum as hostess and a few friend around at his new house. Roast chicken for the meat eaters and roast quorn steaks for the veggies. It turned out slightly less well than he had hoped due only to the dodgy cooker he inherited with the house.
