My box arrived! So excited
It had:
- Dame Blache vanilla cream (a kind of biscuit-chocolate-vanilla cream thing)
- A small packet (single serving) of treacle and pecan granola
- Peppersmith lemon and peppermint chewing gum
- A small (25g) bag of new sour cherries from Goody Good Stuff
- A Raw Bite bar (spicy lime)
- Texas BBC primal strips
- Freedom Mallows - strawberry (marshmallows)
- A large (150g) hazlenut and chocolate bar from Vego
- A small mini-moos bar of honeycomb chocolate
- Biona organic maple syrup waffles with maple syrup filling (175g)
My thoughts so far (have only eaten one thing yet, going to try to make it last the month!):
- I'm really impressed at how many different things I've got, I have only ever tried one of them before (the mini-moos bar) and some of them (the vanilla cream, the waffles, the marshmallows, the hazlenut and chocolate bar) I've never seen before either. Fantastic! I didn't expect so much stuff I'd never seen before and I'm delighted.
- I think there's quite a good balance of things, almost all sweet (but I don't think that's bad - vegan savoury stuff is much easier to find than sweet).
- The vasty majority I'm excited about trying, chewing gum and cereal are a little dull, everything else I can't wait to devour
You never know, the cereal and gum might be really good when I try them anyway.
- Some things were quite small (sour cherries, chewing gum), but some others quite large (massive hazlenut and chocolate bar, lots of waffles) so I think it's a good balance. I didn't feel hard done by.
I still think £20 is quite expensive, although I don't think it's over-priced, since the stuff was quite unique and that makes it worth the money (plus of course it's a small, brand new company that needs to make profit too - so you can't expect all that for next-to-nothing!). I will definitely buy them again, but probably not every month.
