What's In April's Degusta Box?

Sunday 24 April 2016

While I chose to opt out of March’s Degusta box (and ended up regretting it after discovering it had Chewits and a Lindt bunny), I came back for the April box. There’s just something about receiving a box of food that makes me very happy. It’s the simple things in life! Anyway, let’s get straight into what I received!

Milkybar Milk & Crunchy and Smarties Sharing Block – Can you say happy childhood? I haven’t had Milkybar in I don’t even know how long and I adore Smarties so these additions are a total win for me.

Degusta Box

Parle Parle-G – Apparently this is some kind of biscuit but that’s all I can tell you about it. According to Wikipedia (because that’s reliable) Parle-G is the largest selling biscuit brand. Would it be wrong to admit I’ve never heard of it before?

Bebeto Mini Fruit Strings – There are 7 packs of these fruit strings so I’m set for the next week. I feel like these would be more at home in a kid’s packed lunch but since I don’t have children, I’ll devour them myself.

Degusta Box

Veetee Basmati Rice and Wholegrain Brown Rice with Quinoa – Rice, I have received 2 packs of rice. Fortunately, the Degusta box happened to arrive on the day I planned on making a curry for tea so the basmati rice was used almost instantly. I’m also quite fond of rice with quinoa so that brown rice will go down a treat.

Levi Root’s Jerk Coat’n Cook Sauce – Since this contains Scotch bonnet chillies and my other half and I aren’t fond of spicy food, this sauce went straight to my parents. I’ll let them deal with the burning butt this sauce will no doubt cause the morning after consumption.

Degusta Box

Canderel Sugarly Sweetener – I’ve heard so many bad things about sweeteners in the past so I’m a little disappointed to find a sweetener in the box. Despite the fact I’m not a sweetener fan, I’ll probably sprinkle this on my Weetabix every morning. Clearly I’m not that fussed about negative reviews.

Parle Premium Rusk – Toast…this is toast! Apparently these are great for dunking in tea and coffee but I don’t drink either. I’m just going to stare at this packet in utter confusion until I eventually get bored and eat the entire contents in one go.

Popchips in Sea Salt, Garlic and Rosemary
– I was hoping there would be crisps in this box but I’m a little wary of the flavour of these ones. I have absolutely no idea how crisps with garlic flavouring are going to taste but I’m looking forward to eating these regardless.

Degusta Box

Green Lady Sparkling Tea – Ah a bottle of sparkling green tea. I don’t think I’ve ever actually had green tea so I’m not sure what to make of this one. I thoroughly enjoy fizzy drinks though so I’m sure I'll drink this rather easily.

Pimm’s Cider Cup
– I haven’t had Pimms since my college art exhibition 6 years ago! I’m not a big drinker these days but I’m sure I can sit in the sun and drink this, that doesn’t sound too challenging.

Rejuvenation Water in Apple and Mint – Another flavour I’m not 100% sure about but I’m intrigued by it all the same. Apparently this is great for helping with stress, depression and anxiety. How I don’t know but that’s a nice promise regardless.

Unlike the February box, I think I can eat and drink everything but the sauce in this box. I’m quite glad I came back for the April box as there are a few things in here that I wouldn’t typically try but will probably enjoy. Even if everything else in the box turns out to be horrendous, there’s still Smarties and Milkybar so I’m a happy little human. Seriously, simple things!
