Review: it tastes of sour lemons, too thin, too sickly sweet. Could be a description of Meg!
‘Immediately upon opening the jar, we were taken aback by its texture. The spread was very liquid and quite thin - a bit 'loose,' if you will. If we hadn't known better, we'd have thought it melted during its expedited journey to us.
That being said, it is described by the brand as including a hint of lemon and a 'fluid texture'.
Typically, a jar of jam is thicker and sticks together, whereas when we stuck our spoon into Meghan's raspberry spread, its consistency dripped off the silverware like a sauce. It was unappealing to say the least.
As for the taste, it's extremely sweet - and we mean really sweet. It is reminiscent of a sugary, raspberry dessert sauce rather than a jam or spread that's meant to be eaten on a piece of toast.
The flavor was also surprisingly strong, which meant we could taste the sour lemon in the spread, which Meghan had promised in the product's description. ‘
‘After trying it by the spoonful, which left us grimacing from the sweetness, we spread some on a toasted piece of sourdough, which is where things began to take a turn for the worse.
It was difficult to eat the spread with the toast, as it was so thin that it dribbled everywhere and made a mess. Our once nicely toasted piece of bread became a sopping wet disaster after just a few minutes.
The spread is so sweet that it masked the flavors from the sourdough, with only the sugar from the fruit and tang of the lemon coming through.’
