Dragibus

4.5 Syns per bag


It reminds me of my childhood as I used to eat them when I was a child. They are still nice and I was pleasantly surprised to know realise that a packet was only 4.5 Syns.

Fond Veal or Poultry


1 Syn per teaspoon


It's a magic French product that I will use in sauces, it is almost like a Demi glace.

French products

This month, I bought a few products from French click (it's an internet suppliers of French goods). Sometimes I do miss some essentials from France which I can not replace with English products.
So I got some fonds, sweets and sugar free mint syrup.




Slimming World Lemon Curd



Free on Extra Easy

Ingredients:

  • Lemon juice of 1 lemon or 50ml
  • 2 Eggs
  • 3 Tablespoons sweetner 
  • 2 oz quark
  1. In a glass bowl, whisk the lemon juice and the eggs together. Add the sweetener and whisk again (until the mix is foamy on top).
  2. Put the bowl on top of a pan of boiling water (make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water). Whisk the mix all the time until thickened (do not stop stirring otherwise the mix will scramble). Keep an eye on the water if it's too hot reduce the heat.
  3. Take the bowl off the heat and stir in the quark.
The lemon curd keeps 5 days in the fridge, although with me it only lasted a day. 


Note: I tested the lemon curd before I added the quark and I liked it better. So next time I will not bother with it.

Suchard Chocolate

2.5 Syns per individual chocolate


They are yummy and one can be enough to stop a craving. My favourite is the orange one (coeur croustillant lait).

Aldi Sugar Free Biscuit

1.5 Syns per Biscuit


Biscuits


Bought these biscuits in Aldi. There are 1.5 Syns per biscuit. It says on the box shortbread but don't expect them to be even close to shortbread. They are crumbly but more like a tea biscuit to me than a buttery Scottish biscuit. All of these said I actually found them good and they hit the spot with a good coffee.
