Being
a person who likes her food, I have certain rules and conventions to follow. A
major rule is that, as a food lover, you're supposed to steer well clear of
anything from a packet.
Packets
are blasphemy in the church of the food fanatic. Packets are deadly for the taste
buds, full of rubbish ingredients and horribly lacking in the pure and natural department. They're the equivalent of fake Christmas trees. They're like
wine from a carton. Evil, is what packets are.
Needless
to say, when I came across this pretty packet, promising molten chocolate pots
in a mere 90 seconds, I had to buy it.
All you have to do is tip the powder into a cup, mix it with water and cook it in the
microwave (another one of those no no's in foodie wonderland) for a minute and a half.
It
came out perfectly fluffy, complete with molten centre. It was delicious, dry
and sweet. The whole thing was prepped, cooked and eaten within 5
minutes.
What's
not to like? Pure, schmure. I'm going to get myself another packet of this.
