Trapani
This is my favorite salt right now. It's cheap and it has crunch, breaks down when you cook with it. Looks nice and the name is easy to say. Trapani from Sicily. Say it, try it, love it!

 Pooh! The jar is empty
Sometimes, there is nothing worse than anticipating a wonderful cup-o-tea, just before bedtime, and finding there is no honey in the pot. It happened to me last night before I settled in to write. It changed the prose I was to compose, stopping my brain and turning my words, well, quite lame.
Okay, enough of this nonsense. I now have about five jars of honey, all at the end of their usefulness, only the crystallized dregs are left and it's time to restock. Now, we replace our food a little differently than most. We choose from the jars we've been experimenting with at the office, and take them home to put them through Real Kitchen use. We use them like anyone would. We find out if we actually really like them, if they work in every recipe (or not,) and what to do with them (or not.)
It's pretty interesting. Real Kitchen is very eye opening. Take honey, for instance. There is rarely a honey that both Eliza and I love. And if she likes one, I better not touch it! Hmmm, I suppose that is true with everything ... And I have learned that honey in your tea is more than just that. It is a combination of leaves and bees that makes the write prose.
"Well", said Pooh, "what I like best ..." and then he had to stop and think. Because Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.

The way you want minty to be
This is what a peppermint should be. The most important ingredient is mint, but not just any mint!
These mints are made with traditional Black Mitcham peppermint. For centuries Black Mitcham peppermint was the true flavor of England. A variety that died out due to changes in 20th-century farming. After generations, Summerdown, the producer, has reintroduced this variety, thus bringing back the mint's particular flavor - soft and lingering, with a cool, intense flavor.
What these Peppermint Patties and the Mint Crisps are is delicious and definitely addictive. One at a time can satisfy, but others just won't do.

Back-in-stock Pinhead stonecut organic oatmeal
The Secret of the Oatmeal of Alford
I love these oats! Today I added sliced apple and banana with a little Maple Syrup. Along with a cup of tea, it was just so pleasing to me.
The unusual flavor and texture of these amazing oats may be attributed to the final drying process, carried out in the old fashioned 'flat kiln', which is believed to be the only one of its kind used in Britain today. The oats are dried in the kiln for four hours, during which time they're turned twice by hand shovel. It is this very specialized process, perfected by the miller, which makes the flavor and texture unique. The distinct oat grains are then stone-cut into small pieces - smaller than Irish "steel cut" oats - thus the name "pinhead." Unlike "old-fashioned" oatmeal, they're not steamed and rolled flat.
As a result, hot cereal made with pinhead oats has a texture that we've heard described as "risotto-like," as well as a nutty flavor quite different from cooked rolled oats. Alford's pinhead oats hold up well to cooking, retaining their shape and taking on a pleasantly chewy texture - a breakfast you can sink your teeth into!

Truffle Caviar
Like a little jewel of black diamonds in a jar. If the lover in your life is a truffle lover, then there is nothing like this jewel of a little jar. Caviar that is truffles. Delicate elegance wrapped up with a punch! We love it!
This Black Truffle Caviar is made from the black winter truffle juice, obtained directly from the fresh truffle during the cooking. The tasty juice is then reduced in small pearls through a very sophisticated technique called "sferification". The end result? Popping pearls have the taste of the truffle but the same color and texture as black caviar.
