I recently bought a small "iced coffee" (in a waxed paper carton) advertised as using coconut milk. I didn't read the fine print.
Unfortunately it also contains dates (reeks of them) and tastes nothing like coffee, iced coffee, coconut milk or even dates. Just shows that using three ingredients i like doesn't mean they play well together.
After I gave it a fail three friends tried a sip - consensus "godawful" voted in unanimously. I cannot remember the brand as it hit the recycling bin about a month ago.
Some time ago on CS we had a thread discussing weird coffee flavoured foods and I related a cheese I had once tried that had finely ground coffee on the outer rind.
Well, I found a new one right here in Perth - check the date, there you go, not April 1. This is a camembert cheese made with coffee and vanilla bean - the proof a non-photoshopped image (no, really I swear!):
darn I really want to try that. Wonder f they still make it
We've been drinking these at the Snobbery the last week...
Nestle NATIV CASCARA in 3 different flavour combinations, Classic, Lemon Myrtle Pepperberry and Kakadu Plum
Nestle Nativ Cascara Classic
Ingredients: Water, Sugar, Lemon Juice, Cascara Extract (0.5%)
Made in Australia from at least 99% Australian ingredients.
It gets a 2 star health rating and I assume that low because they have 10.8g of sugar (about two and a half teaspoons) which it really doesn't need.
I've never added sugar to cascara and prefer the tea type dry tannins of cascara and water.
Hey Nestle, you might get better sales without sugar!
Interesting though and the initial taste is all cascara dried apricots and pipe tobacco which might be weird for someone expecting coffee flavours.
