The Munchies Blog

A while ago, I had sent off a food parcel. When I returned from two weeks in Sweden last Thursday, I was quite surprised to see that it had somehow found its way back — in a new wrapping and filled with lots of goodies from England :) Thanks a lot, Katrin!

I managed to forget my camera’s battery and the compact flash card in Sweden, so this blog entry has to survive without any pictures. Sorry, folks!

The parcel contained

• A small bag of Hearty’s salted soy nuts.
• A cranberry and macadamia bar made by Eat Natural.
  
• Three small bars of Green&Black’s organic chocolate: Milk, White and Maya Gold.
• A bag of Organic Bombay Mix.
• A package of Desert Cajun Rub “proudly hand-made in Australia” by Screaming Seeds Spice Co.
• 2 vanilla pods in a very nice silver tube.
• A book with chocolate recipes, apparently from a series called “cook specials” by Oil&Vinegar (which is a shop in Bath, if I remember correctly).
• An organic almond biscotti (or whatever the proper singular form is) “made for Caffè Nero”, a café in Bath that I’ve heard mentioned once or twice or maybe a few more times…
• And, last but not least, a pencil sharpener with a wind-up flower (the head can rotate) which has removable eraser leaves. Or something. I guess I’ll have to take a picture of this as soon as I’ve got a working camera…

So far, I’ve tried the soy nuts (nice but a bit weird) and the cranberry and macadamia bar (ok for a granola bar, but somehow not quite my taste). But the biscotti thingy is definitely in danger now ;)

Yay for food parcels, especially those that also come with toys!
