Merchant Gourmet Moroccan Cous Cous

Vegan Moroccan Cous Cous

A pack of ready to serve cous cous in a Moroccan Style from Merchant Gourmet.  It is clear that Merchant Gourmet have tried to make a good product here but sadly I think they have got it wrong.  The cous cous has lots and lots of tomato flavouring in,  which is very strong and overpowering,  ( i have never seen tomato in Moroccan cous cous before).     Because there was so much tomato in it, the cous cous was really dense and it overpowered all of the other flavours.   They should not put the tomato in at all and just let the Moroccan spices, fruits and chickpeas take the lead.  The dish is very easy, you just microwave the pouch for 1 minute and serve.

Each 250gram pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  no artificial colours or flavours.  Per half a pack is 209kcal.  Sold in supermarkets.

Pinkus Organic Beer

Vegan Organic Beer

A bottle of organic beer from Pinkus.   I bought this beer a while ago and forgot to try it, but as Saturday was sunny and quite warm I thought this would hit the spot.  I really like a cold beer in the summer as there is nothing more refreshing and chilled out.  This German beer is really good,  I like that it is organic and it is light and fresh tasting not bitter, just smooth beer.  I will buy this again,  perfect for sharing with friends.

Each 33cl bottle is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Organic, Made in Germany. I bought mine from Vinceremos an online specialist in organic and veggie wine and beers. I think they sell it in some health food shops also.
