    Favorite November Foods

    This November I got some favorite foods that I particularly like eating. I don’t know why my body likes them so much, but here they are:

    It is not everything that I eat in a day, but it is what I like most this autumn. I also love beef stew, but I love it all year round, so I didn’t include it here.

    So, what do I like  eating this November?

    1. Schär gluten free bread with seeds. I don’t always eat gluten-free, but this bread feels so good to my gut.

    2. Roquefort cheese made from raw (unpasteurised) milk. I like the fact that it is made from raw sheep milk. It tastes better with a sip of red wine 🙂

    3. Labeyrie Terrine de Canard with foie gras. I put this on buttered bread and eat it with a little bit of cucumber and it tastes like heaven. It is made from duck meat and duck and goose liver and it is amazing.

    4. Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese . This cheese is very tasty and it is also made from raw milk, but unlike Roquefort, it is made from raw cow milk. I also like it because it doesn’t contain lab-made bacteria. Its bacteria comes solely from calf bowel.

    5. Eggs. I eat eggs all year round, but in autumn I feel a special need to eat them.

    6. Cucumbers. They are precursors of arginine, they are low in sugar and they are tasty (at least in combination with the Terrine).

    7. Mozart pralines and Pukka tea. I find it very relaxing to make a cup of tea (Pukka this autumn) and to drink it while eating a Mozart praline. Very cozy.

  • REVIEW: Pukka teas

    REVIEW: Pukka teas

    I received some Pukka teas and I liked them a lot.

    This is what I got:

    All of these teas share a sweetish taste, especially the “Love”, “Detox”, “Night time” and “After Dinner” ones. They all leave on the back of the tongue this sweet taste, which dominates all the other inflexions.

    “Three chamomile” is very nice, feels “healthy”. It tastes as if a nice forest lady gave you a cup of tea and you drank it in her cottage… right before she would murder you and mix your blood for witchcraft purposes. Joking 😀

    The only Pukka tea I didn’t like was the turmeric one. But I don’t think it is Pukka’s fault. I just don’t like turmeric.

    I also don’t really understand where the “sweetish” taste comes from… I’ve read the ingredients and none of these teas has added sugar or some kind of other sweetener. For instance, the “Night time”, which I like A LOT, and is indeed sweet, says that “t’s a combination of a sleepy crush of oat flower, soothing lavender, and silky-sweet limeflower together with the magic of valerian”. So, supposedly, the sweet taste comes from the limeflower, but I do have generic limeflower tea and it isn’t sweet…

    I also noticed that all teas from England tend to be sweet. I really don’t know what the English put in their teas, they do taste awesome, but I am a little bit worried. Maybe I’m just paranoic… (P.S. This is because I don’t like to consume sugar).

    Anyhow, I do recommend Pukka teas, I really liked them. They are a little bit different than other teas, they feel more “healthy” and sweet, they have a more rustic taste.
