I was tempted by glass bottles of Ribena. Organic designation was not on the label, so I gave it a pass. When Ribena appeared on the shelves in plastic bottles, I was saddened. When I read about the push to decrease sugar in bottled beverages. I did not give it much thought.


Now, the thought of lovely currant juice is spoiled. The drink is mostly apple product from a factory lab, and a soup of chemicals.

Suntory, the Japanese megacorporation that owns Ribena, has replaced a lot of the sugar with the sweeteners acesulfame K and sucralose. And it has added polydextrose, a soluble fibre, to keep it gloopy.

Aspartame ?

Plant a currant bush and squeeze your own juice.
 
Just in time , for the chainsaws to take down the old oak, to crash in the sunny spot where the currants would grow.

Our Boston"tree specialists" have big, beautiful trucks. But, they do fuck-all with them. Scratches, dings, and dents, would cause them to weep. All advertising, not much results.

What I’d like to have for breakfast...

Yotam Ottolenghi’s shakshuka, a North Africa egg dish, but I have no eggs... nor peppers... apparently some people serve it with feta, don’t have any of that either

So I am actually having rice crispies...

Not that there’s anything wrong with a little snap, crackle and pop... I was about to say at least I am able to eat it in the garden but I have just felt the first drop of rain...

I was so happy with the Springy Summer, and my clumbsy attempts. Ah, well. My creation is edible, and it does nourish.
 
*what did I come in here, for ?*

Frozen filo pastry sheets, prepped into cups. Filled with cherries and marzipan. My favorite real butter.

yes

Tip of hat, to The Guardian's food/drinks/recipe They gave me the idea.

PS-Cress and water cress are two different foods!
