]]> http://bunnyabroad.com/2010/01/still-not-too-late/feed/ 0 Oh boy! http://bunnyabroad.com/2009/11/oh-boy/ http://bunnyabroad.com/2009/11/oh-boy/#comments Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:36:19 +0000 bunny http://bunnyabroad.com/?p=2695 Bunny hasn’t really got much of a sweet tooth, but Cake Boy in the new Battersea Reach development is a proper treat…Check out those blueberry muffins – must count towards your 5-a-day? :D That lazy riverside walk along the Thames surely counts as exercise too? Shame they are not open on Sundays tho…Cake Boy

To my liking? Well, seeing as I don’t like shopping even on a quiet day, my verdict is: Too big, too busy…and feel sad for anyone who will spend an entire day there, shopping, dining and going to the cinema…

The one thing I really did enjoy tho, was Crepe Affaire…sweet and savoury and very tasty crepes…I am sure some will say that the crepe machine is cheating, but it was very efficient ;)

Also, I love their description of their soup:

(the only thing negative about Covent Garden soups is a slightly too high salt content)

Soup of the Month

Serve up a cauldron of our menacingly smoky pumpkin & sweet tomato soup, with a host of Halloween surprises. Eyes of Newt (or rather black eye beans), toe of frog (well, sweetcorn), wing of bat (actually no, bats are our friends – see below) and tongue of dog (we love dogs too – so some rice instead). Surprisingly, this soup is suitable for vegetarians!

Probably good ingredients, but not exactly spicy…may have been because I made the mistake of buying it from Asda ;)

Lucky Bunny got a free sample from Toni&Guy, who are obviously doing some co-promotion, and will def be buying more in the future. Such a joy with something that hasn’t had any sugar added ;) Bunny is convinced that they are delicious with a bit of booze added too…enjoy responsibly, right ;)

I did however notice a massive marketing stunt – at the Food Terrace in West Quay shopping centre – from Sblended Milkshakes (apparently they used to be know as Shake About….not that I had ever heard about either before now). Vouchers and samples being handed out by young men; I guess they are targeting girls :D Not sure how well it work, as seriously, these days, would you not prefer a healthy, but just as tasty smoothie…?

Think a return to Jarlsberg and Cathedral City is very much required!!!

]]> http://bunnyabroad.com/2009/08/ass-dah/feed/ 0 Surely too good to be true…? http://bunnyabroad.com/2009/07/surely-too-good-to-be-true/ http://bunnyabroad.com/2009/07/surely-too-good-to-be-true/#comments Fri, 17 Jul 2009 17:51:08 +0000 bunny http://bunnyabroad.com/?p=1778 Barry CallebautThe Guardian reports about a new chocolate that contains 90% less calories than ordinary chocolate…and still tastes good? I don’t really believe it until I see it, but it sounds very promising :)  

Also one to watch is Johannes Døderlein who has invented an ecological raw vegan chocolate…”Ekte Sjokolade” – real chocolate (both sites are in Norwegian) – the big discussion is whether it is actually any healthier…

Chocolate Therapy went the same way in 2008…and Dublin Mudslide the year before…Bunny misses them already!

]]> http://bunnyabroad.com/2009/07/last-chance-to-try/feed/ 0 Not convinced… http://bunnyabroad.com/2009/06/not-convinced/ http://bunnyabroad.com/2009/06/not-convinced/#comments Wed, 10 Jun 2009 22:52:08 +0000 bunny http://bunnyabroad.com/?p=1597 Low fat Cherry GarciaBunny and friends have just tested the new low fat Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia, and Bunny is SO not convinced… The flavour is actually the same, but the consistence is of course…frozen yogurt, not ice cream..and there are far less chocolate chunks too! Since I am more concerned about the sugar content than the fat, I think I will stick with the real thing if given the choice…

]]> http://bunnyabroad.com/2009/06/not-convinced/feed/ 1 Fair enough http://bunnyabroad.com/2009/04/fair-enough/ http://bunnyabroad.com/2009/04/fair-enough/#comments Fri, 24 Apr 2009 22:01:26 +0000 bunny http://bunnyabroad.com/?p=996 Ben & Jerry's Chocolate MacadamiaBunny is a great fan of Ben & Jerry’s, with Cherry Garcia as a clear favourite so far, but she is also nuts about macadamia nuts…what then better than Ben & Jerry’s new fairtrade variety…? It does contain more chocolate than nuts, but who is complaining…?

Bunny is currently completely hooked on houmous with caramelised onions (no Clubcard points for guessing where I shop for groceries). Another favourite is the salsa with coriander. Chuck in some whole grain pitta and some cheese and Bunny is in heaven. Especially nice with some Hass avocados…has to be the ripe and ready to eat version though…

]]> http://bunnyabroad.com/2009/03/lunch-delights/feed/ 0 I want that one! http://bunnyabroad.com/2009/03/i-want-that-one/ http://bunnyabroad.com/2009/03/i-want-that-one/#comments Mon, 16 Mar 2009 11:18:15 +0000 bunny http://bunnyabroad.wordpress.com/?p=112 Easter eggBunny hopes that her friend the Easter Bunny brings her a Green & Blacks chocolate egg this year as well… I was a bit worried when Cadbury’s bought the company a few years ago, but the quality seems to remain untouched… There are a lot more price offers lately, and though it is probably not great for the brand it it makes Bunny happy :D
