One for the guinea pig owners, this. You need wonder no more Xmas Grin

DD1 has taken one for the team so to speak. Well it was more of a dare, "shall I eat it Mum" She should know after 16 years that I am evil and would call her bluff, "Go on",I said'

The verdict:

They don't really taste of very much, just vaguely herby.
And the initial hard crunch disappears straight away and the nugget dissolves to a mush in the mouth.

So there you have it. DD1 has done it so you don't have to Xmas Wink

HTH Xmas Grin

Hmm might pop them in a bowl and put them on the Christmas table along with all nuts and crisps now I know they're herby! Thank your DD very much for doing the taster test! Grin

Any volunteers as I'm not trying one?

Not pleasant if bunny breath is anything to go by!

Bunnies eat their own faeces which may account for their bad breath

Bunny breath after poo eating is not too bad actually, but after pellets Confused! Parsley breath is nice though.

Yuk! I remember trying a locust bean when I was younger as it was included in some kind of pet food, and someone told me it is what they make carob from. It was quite nice.
