Waitrose Comes Up Trumps, But Not In A Donald Sort Of Way!

To help blow away our post holiday blues Darrell and I decided to go all unnecessary and just this once, order our weekly shop  from Waitrose!  Variety being, they say, the spice of life.  What are we I like?

Waitrose did not disappoint ……..

….. as it proved to be considered choice that we certainly did not regret …….

…… because, as it was our first ever shop with said store, they also delivered a magnificent jute shopper filled with the most wonderful things in appreciation of our custom.

There was a bottle of pomegranate and lime presse, hydrating watermelon and apple hand wash ………

…… a pack of Belgian Triple Chocolate Chunk and Butter Cookies and a bar of No.1 Milk Chocolate with Feuilletine & Salt.   We didn’t have a clue what Feuilletine was, but according to Darrell’s research, and I quote, “It’s a crispy confection made from thin, sweetened crêpes. The crêpe batter is baked for a few minutes, and the crêpes are allowed to cool; as they cool, they become crisp. In French, these crispy crêpes are called crêpes gavottes or crêpes dentelles; but when crumbled into small shards, they become feuilletine.  Here endeth the lesson for today Mr D!

Let’s say, they have since both gone down very well.

Needless to say Darrell also devoured the Waitrose Food Magazine from cover to cover, who knew that peas could be quite so interesting!

…… and then he said that since Waitrose had been so generous to us, it wouldn’t hurt for us to pay them back with a couple of photos and a bit of influencing ………. What can we say Waitrose, but “Thank you and we’ll be back!”
