Food review
If you haven’t yet discovered it, Delish is the latest brand of peanut butter on our supermarket shelves. I saw it in Pak ‘n Save the other day for the first time. Being a huge peanut butter fan, I was eager to try this new conglomeration of sqaushed peanuts in a pot. So I did, and here’s what I think…
The first thing that struck me as I removed the lid was the seal that had to be removed before I could reach the peanutty goodness. “Aha, a sign of freshness”, I thought. A good start. But then I inserted my knife. And by ‘inserted’ I don’t mean ‘easily slid’, I mean ‘shoved’. Delish peanut butter is incredibly dry to the touch, unlike the perennial favourite, Eta. Spreading that is like a hot knife through butter. Once you get Delish on your bread, however, you immediately forgive its lack of moisture. It’s well worth the effort. The initial, and cliched, peanut flavour is followed by a heavenly after taste. It’s like the makers of Delish have literally covered your tongue in peanuts, dispatched a myriad of sugar fairies to shower your taste buds with their sweet sweet ammunition, and washed it all down with a river of honey. I think I’m in love.
