[flo-zoinks]

Could you please do headcanons for what candies the gang likes?

Of course!!! Thanks for asking me!!❤❤

I'm not very educated on different types of sweets soo bare with me plsss😭🙏

WHAT TYPE OF SWEETS I IMAGINE EACH RDR2 GANG MEMBER LIKES

Dutch - Liquorice. Nobody else likes it at all but he thinks his taste is more sophisticated

Arthur - dark chocolate

Pearson - purposely eats cough-medicine type sweets in public to rant it was all he had when he was back in the navy

Hosea - hard boiled sweets. Hands them out even though nobody else really likes them but nobody says anything

Strauss - humbugs to suck on whilst doing his work

Kieran - sugary lollipops and when asked why said it's like his own horse sugar lick thingy

Sadie - Jake used to love taffy and got her into it, whilst she doesn't normally have a sweet tooth it's an exception

Mary-Beth - jellybeans, falsely thinks Arthur likes the orange beans so always gives him those ones (they are her favourite)

Tilly - bonbons, especially the strawberry ones and used to eat alcoholic filled ones with Karen until around chapter 4

Karen - insanely sour sweets. Anything that's sour and complains theres nothing actually sour anymore

John - Javier once bought a load of imported mexican sweets and made John try some so now he likes Betamex. Jack and Abi HATE it but once John saves them in 1911 the house has so many from when he went to mexico

Abigail - Fudge. Would buy it as a treat once a month during her working girl days

Jack - Javier also gave Jack a paleta payaso to try and he loves it it's his favourite

Javier - duros (do they count?)

Bill - Candied roasted nuts

Grimshaw - keeps werthers in her bra to give out or have to herself (me too girl me too)

Reverend - whiskey chocolate

Trelawny - makes a whole story out of his favourite sweet being DELICIOUSLY rich, though really locally made somewhere in mainland Europe, yet generally just likes a good lollipop

Sean - hosea used to give him sticky toffee so he would shut up when he was younger so now it's his favourite

Lenny - mints. Is the one people go to if their breath smells real bad urgently and always has the most mintiest breath because of it (sean thinks its nasty)

Charles - chocolate covered raisins. Never really gets it though, just if he had to

Uncle - anything but coconut candy. Literally ANYTHING but goes on rants for ages if he finds anything coconut flavoured in there

Micah - says liquorice but its rock (stick candy in the usa?)

Molly - huge truffle and chocolate addict

Are these okay??? Thanks for asking me so much ily❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏!!!!

U know the drill tell me who I forgot again pls😭

Which ice cream flavor do you think each of the Links would like the best?

Hello !! Very interesting question, here are my headcanons about it-

Sky: Strawberry, he likes sharing with Sun and/or Groose. It's his favourite fruit he discovered on the surface

Twilight: Vegan chocolate, because I firmly believe that if he eats anything else he will be violently ill (he does it anyway sometimes)

Wild: He'd rather make his own

Warriors: Rum and raisin (is this a normal flavour or is this just a british thing-?) everyone bullies him, they all hate it

Legend: Apple sorbet (he's that bitch who would buy sorbet in an ice cream shop)

Hyrule: Mint chocolate chip. I have no reasons for this, just vibes

Wind: Bubblegum, he likes the bright colours and flavours

Time: Just vanilla, the others bully him for it but he likes it

Four: Strawberry, he just likes it and will not take constructive criticism

Thank you for the ask !! I'm working on answering your other ask, it hasn't vanished- but yeah, this was fun to write

Have a wonderful existence !!

[bullet-prooflove]

hmm, jeff clarke as character and items could be a ice cream cone, cop car and a crossbow ? for the character & three items thingy cx hope u have amazing weekend !

Tagging:  @kmc1989 @witches-unruly-heart @telepathay @iworldlywriter 

Thank you so much, it's been ages since I have written Jeff and I have missed him. So the hardest part was the ice cream cone.

Jeff meets you on site during a call out. You’re perched in the passenger seat of a squad car, leaning across a patrol man with a crossbow bolt sticking out of his chest. Blood trickles down his shirt as his breathes come out in ragged rasps. You can’t focus on that at the moment because you’re occupied with the wound in the patrolman’s right thigh.

“The bolt is pinning him to the seat.” You say calmly as Jeff reviews the situation through the shattered driver’s side window. “But that’s not the big problem. The glass from the broken windshield has nicked the femoral artery, if I take my fingers off he’ll bleed out in minutes.”

“You’re a doctor?” He asks as he opens the driver’s side door to give him more access.

“Just transferred into Med.” You tell him, tipping your face up towards him for the first time.

You’re beautiful. Wide soulful eyes that make his heart beat a little faster in his chest, a face that men would go to war for. Doctors shouldn’t look like this, he thinks, not like they were sent from heaven above.

“Ambos still ten minutes out.” He finds himself saying as he snaps back into the moment, already he’s tugging on a set of latex gloves. “But I’ve had some trauma training in the Marines so I can assist.”

“I need your shoelace.” You tell him as your gaze fixes on his. “If we can get this tied off, you should be able to move him for when the ambulance arrives.”

Jeff complies with your request, untying his boot before he hands you the lace. It’s  an artform what you do, your motions are deliberate, concise. There’s no hesitation, just the methodology of a woman who knows exactly what she’s doing. He can’t explain how attractive he finds that.

“Any idea how we ended up in this position?” He asks you as he turns his attention to the bolt that’s jutting out of the officer’s chest.

“I came out of the ice cream shop and there was just a lunatic with a crossbow standing in the street. He must have been high. The cops tried to intervene and…” You use your hand to gesture to the bolt. “I dropped my ice cream cone and everything. I didn’t think he’d actually do it.”

“What flavour?” He asks you and you raise a quizzical eyebrow as he withdraws the padding from the emergency kit they keep on the truck. “Your ice cream?”

“Oh, mint choc chip.” You tell him as you start to pack the wound with Jeff’s help.

“I’m more of a rum and raisin man myself.” He informs you, tilting his head to survey your handiwork. “I think we’re about ready to get to work on the bolt, don’t you?”

Love Jeff? Don’t miss any of his stories by joining the taglist here.

Hi! I love your banjo playing in Cheap Dirty Horse and saw you were doing asks! So here is one:

Do you have any recipes you recommend? (Especially sweet ones)

Thanks!

Hey!!! Thank you so much!!! Banjo is really cool and I still feel like I'm just figuring banjo out consistently tbh and like learning all it's lil tricks!!

Sweet things are definitely my vibe!! I love baking over cooking!! My go to cooking tends to be like stir fry or like a random fried rice with whatever I have in! Normally with waaaaay too much soy sauce because it's my fave thing! Although I had a ramen phase where I'd make different versions every week and mess around with flavours! I got the original recipe from an Overwatch cookbook and just had fun with it!!

In terms of a specific recipe though I'm really basic 😅 I love making like chocolate chip cookies, victoria sponges or millionaire shortbread, but!! With millionaire shortbread if you make the shortbread base you can do all kinds off stuff! I've done like a yuzu shortbread base, a pumpkin spice base, a vanilla and chocolate chip, one and it really changes the vibe!!

I did make a bread wreath, but it had chocolate spread and hazelnut in-between the like plaits with raisins and sultanas and it was incredible!!

Omg actually!! I also make an apple crumble cake which was incredible!! Your cake is similar on theory to a carrot cake but with apple, s a like vanilla sponge, with apple chunks, cinnamon and nutmeg. THEN!! you make a custard icing/frosting and pipe in in the middle and on top, where you add some quiet fine crumble mix (you can make your own or buy it) and sprinkle in the middle and on to for texture and that is awesome too!!

Sorry I maybe went on for too long and got excited 😅

It's September. 15th of this month we, Mexicans, celebrate Independence Day. The whole month, most of the households would prepare traditional food. One of the most delicious and expensive dishes we make is Chiles en Nogada. Mexico has many types of food; the most common is baroque food. Baroque food was created by mixing ingredients brought by colonisers and traditional ingredients. The purpose of Baroque food is to NOT PERCEIVE the ingredients; every bite must generate an explosion of well-balanced flavours in the mouth. This dish is one of those.

Chiles en Nogada is a complex dish; most people would buy it. No, let me correct that; not many people even from here have tasted it because it's expensive af, and the ones who have the means would buy it because it is a pain in the ass to make.

Now, if you want to impress your locals, seduce a Mexican, or challenge your culinary skills this is for you.

The recipe might vary from household to household. This was passed on by my granny, and this is her granny's recipe. SO.

LET'S BEGIN!!

Ingredients!

(I don't care if you don't like x or y, or if you have an allergy or are on a diet, if you can't eat one of these, don't fucking disgrace this legendary recipe.)

150mL of canola oil.

4 finely minced garlic cloves

1 big ass onion finely minced

500g of grounded beef meat

500g of grounded pork meat

2.5 tablespoons of salt

10 red tomatoes

250mL of chicken broth

250g of peeled almonds (preferably minced or sliced, by peeled I mean without the brown cover.)

100g of raisins (finely minced.)

2 Plantanes (NOT BANANA, PLANTANE!)

250g of pine seeds

5 cloves

1 Stick of cinnamon (I used 5cm in length)

1/2 tablespoon of grounded black pepper.

1/2 tablespoon of oregano

Thyme (I don't know how much, in grams this is, be generous.)

2 Minced and peeled peaches

1 Minced pear

1 Minced apple

1 Minced acitrón (I couldn't find it. Acitrón is cristalized maguey. I substituted it with 300g of: Approx 100g of crystallized sweet potato, 100g of crystallized chilacayote, and 100g of crystallized pumpkin).

15 Fresh Poblano Chilipepers (These ARE NOT BELL PEPERS, THESE ARE POBLANO PEPERS, they are spicy.)

1/2 L of milk (cow fresh pasteurized milk, the fresher the better, do not use light milk, we need the fat to mix with the fats of the cheese and the nuts)

250g of goat cheese.

Seeds of 3 pomegranates.

1/2 Kg of peeled fresh Castilian nuts (Juglans regia, the 1/2kg must be nuts without the hardcover).

METODOLOGY!!

Roast, peel, and devein the Chiles. To roast, put them directly on fire until the peel turns black. They are easy to peel when they are hot, so once they are out of the fire, take off the peel (yup, we do this with our bare hands). If you are weak, save the roasted chiles on a cloth and put them inside a plastic bag to "steam." Once cold, you can also peel them; this method works, but it's time-consuming. We also devein the chiles with our hands; if you are weak, use gloves. Please take a moment to appreciate my mom taking off the veins and seeds. She is so talented!

2. Fry the onion in the canola oil until brown. Add the garlic and fry until brown. Add the meat and let it cook on low heat for 20min.

3. Mince the plantains and fry them, use as much oil as you need. Now, I don't care what you believe, the plantains need to have black areas, the blacker the better! They are FINE! I promise. Fry until they look like that:

4. Put water to boil, and let the tomatoes rest/cook? for one minute, then take them out of the boiling water and take off the peel. Put them in the mixer, add the chicken broth, and blend.

5. Add the blended tomatoes and the plantains to the big ass pan where the meat is. This isn't going to look pretty but trust the process!

6. Add the almonds, raisins, pine seeds to the big ass pan.

To show off your wealth and look generous to the people you are sharing this dish with add extra pine seeds.✨

7. Add the oregano, cloves, cinnamon, thyme, pepper, and salt, and mix until all that is well integrated.

Place the thyme, the cloves and the cinnamon on top. We are going to take these out, so make sure you can remove them.

8. Do not cover the pan, let it cook low-heat until it dehydrates. I let this cook for 40min. Once it is dehydrated, remove the cloves, cinnamon, and thyme, add the peaches, the pears, apple, and acitrón (or if you fail getting the acitrón, like I did, use the crystallized fruits).

Mix all that and let it cook low-heat for 20min. This is how it should look like:

9. Now… (🔥laughs) It's time to peel the nuts!! Put water to boil, add the nuts and let them there for ONE minute, take them out of the boiling water and peel that thin dark layer. This is painfully exhausting and BORING, BUT NECESSARY!! You must do it! Otherwhise the final taste will be bitter.

10. NOW, Time to make the Nogada!!! Blend the milk, the nuts, the goat cheese with half a tablespoon of sugar (regular) and salt to taste. The cheese I used had salt, so I didn't use any.

FINALLY, FUCKING FINALLY!! 🔥

11. Fill the cold chiles with that glorious mix we made in our big ass pan, pour some Nogada on top, decorate with pomegranate seeds and parsley. Eat it with rice.

More importantly, I'm thinking of Fanta. The orange flavoured sparkling beverage. I bought a bottle, recently, out of nostalgia. What immediately concerned me was its bleak appearance.

The Fanta I bought looked like the piss of a barely well-hydrated human, taking a hike across the Appalachians with some duly calculated rations of water, and only energized by some carefully assembled trail mix.

I tried to open the bottle, as I would — once, long ago — but the cap stuck to its opening. Apparently because people cannot be trusted returning caps back onto bottles.

Now, I am, if anything, a misanthropist...

But, come on.

You can't convince me a vast majority people would go against the sacred unity of cap and bottle. I mean, it's the easiest way to dispose of a cap; put it back where it belongs. Only agents of complete chaos would actively oppose this union. And, yes, of course, there are complete idiots, but since when would we, as a community, adapt to them as a mean? Especially if such an action hinders us, responsible people, as we are, in even the slightest manner.

I feel patronized buying Fanta.

But, okay, the bottle's open. Cap ripped off in confusion, because I didn't understand the concept at first. And I pour myself a glass, thinking about Grandma, and how she would always keep one bottle of Coca Cola, Fanta, Sprite, and Cassis, along with a myriad of fruit containing mason jars at perfect temperature in her basement. Those, for her grandkids. And, then, loads and loads of beer, for her kids. Grandpa had nothing to say about it.

He wouldn't either, because that's where she kept his Sunday pudding to thicken. Vanilla, semolina, rum raisin, and bittersweet cookies, alternating.

But I digress, envious as I am of my grandpa, and loving as I am of my grandma, due to my nostalgic nature.

What I am trying to say is:

Fanta was a gesture of love. Part of a holy quadrupity, adhering to all of my grandma's grandchildren's preferences. I'm talking about sodas, now, but it was the same for hearty and sweet snacks, and treats. Literally, all were present in my grandparents's basement. And I want to relive my grandma's love for me.

I get piss. A bland memory. Drunk once before, and processed through the human body. Expelled from it. And, then, watered down, to half-way meet the standard some health-life zealot set as a mean they would never come to greet, as the beverage in question is Fanta.

It's Fanta.

As soon as I pick that bottle I have made a decision. My decision is an unhealthy, sugary drink, that gives a rather intense, yet still little sweet, orangy kick to my palate.

And, in a sense, I want it to eat away at my enamel, and go straight to my thighs, and cause heart palpitations, or whatever it does when consumed in excessive amounts, because that's not how I am going to consume it. However, that's what makes its taste great, and it is a flavour I will taste rarely.

This condescension angers me.

Then again, there are, apparently, vast amounts of people who cannot be trusted with returning caps on bottles. Agents of chaos, or the kind of idiots that cannot be trusted to live, walking around without wearing headphones continuously playing an audio message, wherein a kinder voice than mine says:

Breathe in. Breathe out.

Me? All I want is choice.

I run the tap if I want a healthy drink.

And I drive to Germany when I want a Fanta, because that's where they still keep the real shit.

Ecuador: Mitad del Mundo

I waited about 20-30 minutes for the guide Javier to show up with the driver Jorge, and another guest, Domingo. We got settled in the car and drove 30-40 minutes to Mitad del Mundo and on the way Javier explained everything we needed to know about the equator in both English and Spanish. The latitude at the equator is 0,0,0 where the northern hemisphere meets the southern hemisphere. “Qui” means middle in their native language which is how Quito got its name but Javier said that you would find “Qui” in other place names in the area. Due to the position, centrifugal forces are at play and push outwards towards either pole so there are no hurricanes, cyclones, or tornados at this latitude. The only natural disaster risks would be earthquakes and volcanoes from movement in the tectonic plates. There are also no seasons here since the weather is mostly the same the entire year round. There is a wet and dry season but the temperature is the same all year. At this latitude there are no longer or shorter days, every day is exactly the same length, and there is no solstice or equinox. In March and September around noon there is no shadow at all as the sun is directly above the equator at that time of year. The elevation is around 7,000 feet in Quito and there is a lesser resistance to gravity which means at the equator you weigh about 1kg less than normal.

Inside the visitor area of Mitad del Mundo there were some museums and shops and the main monument to the equator with a line painted all the way through representing the northern and southern hemispheres. Javier invited us to do a photo shoot with the monument and showed us how an egg can be balanced on a nail due to the centrifugal forces. We then had about an hour of free time to explore the area, I visited some of the souvenir shops which had some good quality stuff unlike Colombia! I finally found some really nice postcards and got a stamp in my passport from Mitad del Mundo. I tried the helados de paila, ice cream made in the old fashioned style in a large dish inside an ice bucket, and chose the coconut and rum raisin flavours which were delicious. While we waited for Domingo to get back to the meeting point I hopped on the wifi and found that Ecuadorhop had cancelled my entire trip that was due to pick me up tomorrow morning at 6am. I explained this to Javier and on the drive back to Quito he was on the phone calling around to various people he knew to enquire about private drivers and rental car companies that could help me follow my itinerary. The private driver would be $190 for the 2 days, from Quito to Quilotoa, and then on to Baños. If I wanted to rent a car he said it would be $45 per day which seemed reasonable however when he requested the total with taxes and insurance and upgrade to an automatic vehicle he said it would be $145 which was a bit much. Defeated, I was leaning towards accepting Javier’s suggestion to skip Quilotoa and go straight to Baños on the public bus. After they dropped me off back at the meeting point, I walked to the metro to take the train back downtown and realised that I had no small bills left, only a $10 and $20. I wondered what would happen when I tried to buy a 45c ticket with a $10 bill when it occurred to me - the decoy wallet! For safety, I had a cheap wallet with a few expired travel cards and small bills that I could throw at anyone who attempted to rob/attack me. I used the saviour $1 bill to get my ticket and squeezed myself into a completely full carriage. I actually heard someone in the mass of people say “sardines”. Someone farted. There was no air conditioning and it was so hot inside. This was by far the busiest, most uncomfortable train I’d ever been on. I started out being crammed against the door, then as we headed south I was gradually pushed into the middle as people got off and on around me. After a sweaty eternity I arrived in San Francisco station and plunged onto the platform to breathe normally at last. Back at the hostel I got on the wifi and cancelled the Quilotoa hotel for tomorrow and sent them an apology email explaining that this was Ecuadorhop’s fault. I extended my stay in Quito for one more night and Grace, the receptionist, was so nice about it all. She also told me I’d have the room to myself again as those people who arrived this morning ended up taking a shower and flooding the whole room (except for my bed/locker area luckily) so they were moved to another room. I redeemed my voucher for a free welcome drink at the bar which was a delicious (hot) alcoholic drink traditional to Ecuador called canelazo. I ordered a plate of bacon cheese fries just for the ease of not having to go anywhere else to get some food and they were fairly average but good enough to attract the little ginger hostel cat to sit and meow near me!

The batfams favourite icecream flavours because I'm always right.

Bruce: mint choc chip or vanilla. Vanilla is very versatile and sometimes having something sweet and plain is enjoyable. And mint choc chip cus of the ✨vibes✨

Dick: Rainbow, or, if he is feeling especially grown up, new York cheesecake. But his go to is always the most colourful, if they don't have rainbow? Cotton candy or boysenberry swirl.

Jason: rum and raisin. Why? The vibe.

Tim: Vanilla, mint choc chip or hokey pokey. Same as Bruce. They bond over it. Sometimes Bruce would just buy mint choc ice cream so no one else can have it, but he ends up sharing it with Tim.

Damian: 'I don't eat that filth' <strawberry

[ask-karlachbear]

"oh yes! We have chocolate chip, banana, pecan, raisin, mint, apple, oat..." 150 brands later, "and if you buy them all, you will be doing the Baldurian service of donating to one of our charities, 'think of the orphans!' See... I'm an orphan.. but I'm at least one of the lucky ones... There's this kid back at the orphanage named Timmy, he was born with glass bones and paper skin. Every morning, he breaks his legs, every afternoon, he breaks his arms... He'd lie in agony until his heart attacks put him to sleep. So please.. won't you purchase all 150 brands for the small price of 350 gold?"

Karlach grins as the scout tells her the list of flavours, she starts to get concerned around the 70th, but nevertheless she seems eager to make her pick.

When the kid mentions the Orphan that always gets hurt she cant help but feel a tinge of sadness

"Mh let me check if i have enough, or.. I'll do you one better" She though. "I will get them, I'll pay what i can and then you can go to @askastarion and tell him I sent you to collect the rest" she smiled. "He will be happy to compensate for me"

[blue-aconite]

Okay, Fe.... Can you do HCs for all the daggers favorite ice cream flavors and why they love them?

(My favorite color is green, and my favorite TGM quote is from Cyclone: I never want to see that shit again. 😆)

Emily! This was a tough question! Since I'm not an ice cream eater myself, I had to do some research and consult. Thank you so much for participating in my birthday celebration!

As promised, here's your banner! I hope you like it!

Hangman: Jake’s favourite ice cream flavour is Mango Raspberry Sorbet and Pistachio ice cream. His aunt would always buy him a Mango Raspberry when they spent time together when he was a kid. She was diagnosed with cancer when Jake was 13 and once a week he brought her a Mango Raspberry ice pop while she was in the hospital. When she passed, he stopped eating anything resembling the flavour and discovered Pistachio instead. A few years after his aunt’s death, he started eating Mango Raspberry again, to remember her. He always keep a tub of both in the freezer. 

Rooster: Bradley’s favourite is plain Chocolate. When Nick and Pete was home together, they always took little Bradley out for ice cream, even though he was too young to appreciate it. However, chocolate was Nick’s favourite, so now it’s Bradley’s favourite. Carole always made sure to have chocolate ice cream at home for when Bradley was sad and missed his dad. When Maverick was home and visiting, he always made sure he and Bradley had an ice cream date planned. Even after Caroled passed and he fell out with Mav, he made sure to eat it once a month, as a tribute to the people in his life, even though they weren’t with him anymore. 

Bob: Bob’s favourite is Cherry ice cream. His grandparents had this huge cherry tree in their backyard, he used to climb it as a kid, and his grandmother would always make homemade cherry ice cream for him and his siblings. It was the highlight of the family dinners. The store brands are good but have nothing on Nana's ice cream. She still makes it for him when he goes home to visit. She’s also taught him and his siblings to make it. 

Coyote: Javy’s favourite is Banana flavoured ice cream. He ran track as a kid and his mom would always pack bananas for him as a snack. It quickly became his favourite fruit and transferred onto his ice cream preferences. His mother also makes a fantastic banana cake that he likes to eat with banana flavoured ice cream. 

Phoenix: She doesn’t eat ice cream. She prefers ice pops instead and for those her favourite flavour is Peach. She always found ice cream too cold and sticky as a kid, so she never ate it. If offered, she will eat it but prefers not to. Her parents argued that ice pops are also cold but she never budged on the subject. 

Fanboy: Mickey’s favourite flavour is Superman. No surprise there. He had it for the first time when visiting Disney World as a kid and he fell in love. Typically he will eat any kind of ice cream offered to him but Superman is his absolute favourite. He has it each year for his birthday. And if it helped him gain his callsign, well, who is he to complain?

Payback: Reuben’s favourite ice cream flavour is Butter Pecan. He didn’t eat a lot of ice cream as a kid and if he did, it was always the most common flavours, vanilla, strawberry etc. He first tried Butter Pecan when travelling with his lacrosse team for the state championship and was immediately hooked. And when his team won, he decided it was his lucky flavour. 

Bonus - Maverick: Pete’s favourite flavour is Rum Raisin. His grandma always had it at home, so he grew up eating it. Nick and Carole never understood why he liked it and when he said the flavour reminded him of home, they dropped the conversation. Bradley hates it and constantly makes fun of Mav for liking it. Bonus - Cyclone: Beau enjoys Mint Chocolate Chip. A controversial option of course but he finds the taste pleasant. His wife makes the most delicious mint chocolate chip cookies and when she brought him that on their second date, the flavour became a favourite of his. So when he then had the same flavour but ice cream, he fell in love.

Everyone’s seen Willy Wonkas inventions haven’t they… the Everlasting Gob stoppers that taste like a Sunday roast, the Wonka Chocolate Bars well willy wonka has now hit California in the role of Plant Breeders and Charlie and the chocolate factory comes to life Plant Breeders in California have created a natural grape that tastes like everyone’s favorite fairground treat CandyFloss This natural grape has not been cloned or genetically engineered with artificial flavors. There has been two combined grape species that has been grown and ripened together that now tastes like the pink fluffy cotton candy treat. Where to buy some When you first chew the grape and it pops open in your mouth with juice squirting out it gives you a rush taste of the much loved treat at the fair, cotton candy. The grapes are available in the UK in Asda, Sainsbury’s and M&S. A horticulturalist Mr D. Cain wants to bring back the true natural flavour of grapes, he feels that over the time and the growing and shipping process they have begun to lose their taste, however with new innovative grapes could people begin to prefer flavoured grapes to natural ones?? There is an array of different fruits available in store especially when it comes to apples with over 10 different types offered to consumer’s including pink lady, braeburn and fuji apples. The farms that grow grapes now want to offer people a higher selection of grapes in a hope that more people start to buy and eat them as part of a healthier diet. Most people complain that healthy food doesn’t taste as good as the sugary food even though it’s good for you whereas these grapes are full of the goodness and the flavour that everyone likes. The grapes do have around 10% more sugar than regular grapes but still a lot less than other fruit such ass raisins. Where Charlie and the chocolate factory comes to life The candyfloss flavoured grape farm in the US has increased from 2 acres to 100 acres with plans to increase to 200 acres in the next year this is due to the popularity and high demand. The creator of the candyfloss flavoured grape said that it took him hundreds of tests and attempt’s before he finally found that flavour. Mr Cain said that the whole process takes anything from 6 to 15 years to create and find. He has no intention at stopping at this flavour and wants to create a number of different flavours of grapes in the future. Read the full article
