I immediately got a big spoon and tasted it. No, I think I took a picture of if first. No, I think I tasted it first before I took a picture. Okay! Whatever!! But I was surprised to see something like this in the house that was not yet emptied, meaning....the house full of boys don't like it?! Let's move on....
So, I took a spoonful and put it all inside my mouth. I took my time savoring this cookie spread, I even closed my eyes with these words in mind "this is the cookie spread that's been all over internet.....it's expensive, I gotta know what's behind the social media hype..."
I opened my eyes when I finished chewing the first spoonful of that spread and decided to scoop another one then put them inside my mouth, but this time, the serving was half smaller, meaning I scooped only a quarter of spoon size. I chewed, no I think what I did was something like sipping something or kind of like sucking my own tongue in that kind of way.
Okay, I think two batches of slow chewing slash sipping kind of way of this very famous spread was enough. I have to have a verdict, and it's something I was not expecting.
Don't get me wrong. It was delicious. IT IS DELICIOUS! But because of the popularity I thought it would taste something like the cookie-spread-that-will-change-the-way-you-look-at-spreads-forever delicious. But it's not. Sorry, maybe it's just that my pang-poor taste or my taste buds is not used to expensive or imported stuff.
I scrutinized the label and surprised that this was a product of the Netherlands and distributed by Trader's Joe. It has canola oil and some other kind of oils that made it taste oily (okay, that was stupid of me, obviously)
Anyway, I'm still thankful that I've got to try this but I'm happy with Ludy's and Nutella!
Happy Weekend!
:) I was smiling reading this.
ReplyDeleteOn the sweet side siya sis no? At first, I was surprise by the taste too. I was expecting kasi na para syang peanut butter. But no, its different. But habang paubos na, I love it more. Habang tumatagal,lalong sumasarap. :)
Top it on hot pancakes, sis. Yum! :)
Yes, sis, sweet sya, medyo na weirdo-han lang ako sa oily na lasa. Masarap talaga sya, kaya lang I doubt kung magkakaron ulit kami nito sa bahay, hehe! Medyo mahal sya! :)
DeleteHahahha.. I was also imagining each and every word. even the way of tasting,,pati pag pikit, napapikit
ReplyDeleterin ako. ahahhha.. Hmmm kelan ko kya makakasagupa yan. ^^
Hahaha! Good luck sis, balita ko lagi daw OOS 'to! Pag naka try ka na, blog mo rin ha! :) Thanks!
DeleteIngit talaga ako, waaah! I know my mom and sister will send one for me, BUT my doctor asked me to lose weight kaya wala munang sweets, huhu. Lalo tuloy ako naiintriga sa taste nya.
ReplyDeleteKung love mo sweets magugustuhan mo sya, feeling ko nga mas okay syang dessert kesa palaman. Thanks! :)
DeleteI got to try only the original creamy version of TJ's Cookie Butter, but they oughtta taste pretty much the same save for the crunchy factor, right? Still, I like Lotus Biscoff crunchy spread better. :p At mas gusto ko siya papakin, too sweet kapag naka-spread sa tasty. Haha.
ReplyDeleteHaha me too, may feel ko papakin kesa ipalaman. Never tried Lotus, doubt if I ever will, too expensive :) Thanks
