Food & Drink #6 Mouthfeel

[Pocahontas]

If music be the food of love, play on!

There were no discernible thread title contenders so I chose ‘Mouthfeel’ as I like the word and it always made me smile when used by @crystaleyesd in her crisp reviews.

All welcome. Waiting with baited breath for @Breakdance Badass big reveal.

Fraus, I stepped out of the warm humid weather into the cool chilled like a SMEG fridge ambience of Waitrose. Tentatively I started up the aisle, towards the beautiful bountiful bakery department. I asked the wiry pensive looking man, “Sir, do you have those (my voice faltered here) cherry almond pastries?”. He glanced up and pointed to my left, I said thankyou and kicked him in the shin and ran to the display. There nestled like bejewelled pouches of chamois leather with glistening cherry sauce, small tear shaped flaked almonds drizzled with horse spunk they lay. Love Mack Jockroe aged 32 1/2, Southend

Love that word as well, so calming somehow! I’m so excited, tomorrow for the first time since lockdown I’m going to a restaurant for lunch (taking advantage of the eat out thing ) excited but also nervous as were supposed to be outside on a terrace but rain is forecast... also hate getting the train, anyone else in London notice about half of people wearing masks still not doing so correctly ?!

Those look incredible. Can you post a shot of the filling? I love most cherry items except glacé ones.

Erm........ no! We ate them I will try to get some more another day, just to show you of course. It was like a cherry jam but smooth and thicker than a jelly

If you like cherry you should try an Australian chocolate bar called cherry ripe, you can get it in some international sweet places here (or probably online) it’s cherry, coconut and covered in chocolate

Mmmmm. I love all things cherry related. All of them. Special mention to maraschino cherries, black forest gateau and black cherry jam. Glace cherries (especially the fancy dark ones) in Madeira cake. Yum.

I have just discovered I can switch to dark mode on here. Amazing.

I much prefer the look of the dark mode! Proper messes with my eyes though, with white text on a black background. Long IG stories proper frazzle them

Can’t believe you found the elusive cherry bake well yum yums! I imagine they were very ephemeral.

Waitrose has a very nice Morello Cherry pie. Have had it twice during lockdown.

Whispers the yum yums are square donut type affairs with cherry filling and icing on the top, but those look fab. I’ve not seen those in my local.

I also like the pineapple tarts

I agree I thought whoever called them yum yums got mixed up, I’ve never seen these others you speak off!!!! Maybe these are the Jock version?

Oh wow I think I got overexcited at the picture and thought they were yum yums I’ve got to stop looking at the picture now.

Just noticed that Ocado is still supplying them. Also, the Waitrose West Country cherry yogurt is delectable.

 

[Pocahontas]

Extravagant ... but tempting.

I used to love those round cherry hard sweets that were in a long tall packet but can’t remember the name.

Cherry drops?? They were the DREAM although definite mouth shredders

That sounds like it!

I used to make a maraschino cherry loaf cake from a recipe I got from a Canadian. She added walnuts. I’ve just had a look on Google and there are a lot of maraschino cake recipes out there. Here are some pictures. Also maraschino cherry ice cream.

Cherry Ripe bars sound very similar to Cabana bars, a favourite of mine in the 80s, sadly discontinued in the 90s

Cabana Bars

Cabana was a milk chocolate bar in a blue wrapper. Inside you found a delicious coconut filling and chunks of cherry. They were made by Row...
