Last Thing You Bought?

I just bought some locally made veggie pâté. I've made my own before, but wow, this stuff is like soooo good! It wasn't cheap, but just sooo good! I will go back for more without a doubt.

I accidently made a good pate with sunflower seeds. I wanted to sub for cashews in a cheese, and when I realized that was just wasn't right at all, added thing to be more savory. Blended with a little water to a paste, added a touch of liquid smoke (or smoked paprika, or smoked salt) minced onion and garlic. Pretty sure I mixed in vegan mayo
Edit to add 'wasn't right". Sunflower seeds did not make a cheese taste--too savory

I bought some clothes from a charity shop yesterday. I did get a nice black and white dotty Wallis dress. I also saw a cute elephant cuddly toy so I bought that on a whim too.

I had to order more wood stain and paintbrushes from Amazon too. Also some more storage boxes for my winter clothes.

4 tubs of vegan ice cream at Lidl's which were on so. They don't normally stock any so I picked up a few for the freezer. They were cheaper than (€2.29) B&J's but they don't taste great. I suppose it because I don't like overly sweet ice cream with chunks of chocolate etc in mine.;)

I didn't like them. :worried: They were far too sweet (water and sugar (glucose syrup) were N° 1 & 2 ingredients. Moreover, the ice cream wasn't creamy plus it contained tons of overly sweet cheap biscuits/cake bits and poor quality chocolat chips. It's a shame as these kind of brands of plant based desserts give vegan food a bad reputation.

Give me Oatly,Alpro & Swedish glace anytime! Good quality, creamy and not too sweet tasting ice cream!

I’m excited to try these! The bacon seasoning is good…I sprinkled some on my avocado toast. Son even said it was good.

Did the bac'n seasoning taste like smoked paprika at all? I am not a fan of that, but I like smoked salt, and liquid smoke
Actually, I should get smoked Maldon salt, I've had it in my cart a long time.
I miss bulk spices. I wonder if stores will bring them back

It was a little smoky but I usually hate anything smoked. This was mild. I don’t know what smoked paprika tastes like.

Ha! I honestly didn’t think paprika had much of a flavor. I rarely use it other than to sprinkle on potato or pasta salad for color.
 
I have a split pea soup recipe that asks for smoked paprika or liquid smoke
I go with liquid smoke, although I loved smoked salt.
I have used smoked paprika in lentil soup, but with so many other spices it blends well,
My son really likes it, so we always have it

I used to think paprika was just for color until I had some better, or maybe fresher? paprika that tasted 'fresh peppery'
I eat raw peppers, but I don't like them

It tastes fabulous and adds lots of depth and flavour to many dishes. I use it when making many dishes as I like smoky flavours plus the taste of peppers. Ordinary paprika is great for adding colour and gives food a slight kick without the heat or smokiness.

I can do regular but not smoked. I’ll have to try the regular more. It’s interesting that if I’m trying a new recipe it never seems to call for paprika! I’ll just add it myself and see what happens.
