what weird and wonderful food products do you buy from the likes of holland and Barratt and

[zippitippitoes]

what do you do with them?

I was in there yesterday and bought some pumpkin butter which I've never had before. tried it on oatcakes and although it looks horrible it was quite tasty. i don't know if it could be used in cooking? Also got some tartex which I had forgotten about.

I saw some dried flakes of nori or mixed seaweed what would you do with those?

oooh zippi, that sounds weird & wonderful for sure! i'm more of a seeds & dried fruit girl, so not sure that counts as w&w. like the sound of pumpkin butter, might try that...

i used to buy linseed from there and put it on my porridge.

I should have said pumpkin seed butter which looks like a greener oilier version of pesto and tastes like earthier version of peanut butter. It is rich in zinc and presumable omega 3

sounds yum zippi (am veggie, so like most weird seed-type things), is it chilled or in a tube?? (so i can go look for it )

it's in a jar
I hope someone has used the sea flakes..the instructions seemed to be soak them and then use like salad but would be interested to know what people think

Manuka honey
Dried Figs
Shelled Walnuts
Floradix
Chewable vits...

ta zippi, will look out for it!

I used to buy japanese crackers which were black that my son loved they looked really funny and there were lots of different sorts to get, red, green,brown.

Linseed (think it's called linusit?) for adding to cereal (high in omega oils)
Quinoa (although you can get this in supermarkets now :)) add to casseroles (again high in omega oils)
Lots of gluten / dairy free stuff for ds
Mushroom pate in a squeezy tube!
Recently started getting cashew butter, just for variation from peanut butter for ds.
Millet flakes & rice flakes (mix to make gluten free porridge)

H & B do very nice chocolate covered hemp bars. Also Japanese rice cracker peanuts. Yoghurt coated peanuts and raisins. Nuttolene - comes in a tin, looks like spam but quite nice grilled.
