I've noticed a spike in salted caramel products recently, a fad much like Peri-Peri that I'm hoping will die quick. Speaking of Kit Kat's, put one of those peanut butter chunkys in the fridge last night. Now I've had one at room temperature and wasn't overly impressed. This time though, wow. The cold really enhances the flavor of the peanut butter and the texture doesn't feel like you're at a risk of breaking a tooth chowing down through the wafer. Would recommend. Kit Kat's in the freezer are where it's at. On another note, I really miss Yorkie's The Nutter Bar. Could give or take Yorkie's but the Nutter variation was amazing Quote

CAREBEAR LUVVA Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 What's this about big Ritters? I've only ever seen the ones that are the size of a bag of Frazzles, and those little mini ones which always seem a bit pointless because there's no way that amount of chocolate is ever enough for anyone. Also, the name Ritter always makes me think of Rebecca Ritters, Hannah Martin from Neighbours. Who, Wikipedia just told me, now lives in Germany, where Ritter Sport comes from. I wish rubbish facts like that didn't delight me as much as they do... Quote
CAREBEAR LUVVA Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) Weird double post for some reason. I'm not working today, so it looks like I'm off to Lidl for a wander. Edited September 6, 2018 by CAREBEAR LUVVA Quote
Paid Members Accident Prone Posted September 6, 2018 Paid Members Posted September 6, 2018 Since when has Piri Piri been a fad? It's been a popular flavor for ages. Quote
Harry Wiseau Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 oooh yes, the normal bars are 100g and fit perfectly into the pocket of your sports jacket, the large ones (they don't do the Rum & Raisin in large sadly) are - from memory - 250g. Lidl always sell them in a few varieties. Quote
Merzbow Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 I'm not so keen on salted caramel but salted dark chocolate is bloody lovely, the velvet stuff from Cadburys posho brand Green & Blacks gets thrown right in the shopping basket when it's on sale. Quote

The name Ritter always reminds me either of John Ritter, or, even better, the gorgeous Kristen Ritter. Quote

Lidl always sell them in a few varieties. I love the idea that all these folk in sporty clothes are going around with their pockets stuffed full of delicious continental confectionery. Might dig my combats out and see how many big bars I can fit in 8 big baggy trouser pockets. I won't keep them in my pockets for long though, of course. Everyone knows only a maniac would keep chocolate in their pocket. It's asking for all kinds of trouble, that. Quote

Other fads include Pulled Pork where one restaurant/takeaway advertises it and then every supermarket does the same thing when really its probably been there all along. Quote
Paid Members Accident Prone Posted September 6, 2018 Paid Members Posted September 6, 2018 Hardly a 'fad' then. Nandos has been popular for years, even before 'Cheeky Nandos' became a common phrase (and you'll age yourself when you try to think about when that phrase started to gain prominence). I remember when I first moved out and buying Piri Piri sauce on my first ever big shop, and that was close to a decade ago. Also, who hates Piri Piri? It's a lovely, warming flavor. Quote
Paid Members air_raid Posted September 6, 2018 Paid Members Posted September 6, 2018 I had chicken piri piri about 5 times on my first trip to Portugal about 10 years before I'd heard of Nando's or heard of peri-peri. Not arsed about the chicken but fries dipped in the Perinaise is a treat. Quote

Mr_Danger Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 What's the deal with piri piri and peri peri? Is it the same stuff? Quote
