Sweet Sunday: Violet Crumble Review (Product of Australia)

Udi’s Gluten Free Bagels Review
My girlfriend went gluten free around 3 years ago. Since that time we’ve tried several brands of bread including Udi’s. In that period she had exactly 0 bagels. Zero bagels in 3 years?

Beer Reviews: Khajuraho Lite (Product of India, Lilasons, 4.5% ABV)
Khajuraho Lite is India’s first lite beer according to the bottle which seems surprising given how popular beer is on the Subcontinent . Coming from 40 year old brewery Lilasons, the beer is named after UNESCO world heritage Hindu and Jain temples dating back to 950. Perhaps the brewers got so exhausted from touring the […]
