Hi all,
A silly thread perhaps, but I'm nearly bouncing off the walls with excitement.
I've dipped a toe (metaphorically speaking) into the world of CD Vegetable Bouillon Drink this week.....and I REALLY like it!
Those of you who saw my thread last week about ideas for savoury CD bars will know that I'm struggling with how sweet CD is if you're not into the soups (which I'm not, find them oddly chalky) - getting overload with all the sweet shakes, mousses, even sweeter bars! Because of this, my CDC had a tub of the bouillon powder and opened the lid to let me smell it a couple of weeks ago.
I have to be honest, it smelled R*A*N*K. Something like old flip-flops, dead fish and soiled nappies. I declined her kind suggestion and didn't buy it. My CDC also gagged a bit when she sniffed the powder.
:sign0137:
But, in a state of desparation last Friday and with my savoury-tooth crying out for something other than constant sweetness, I decided to try it. I got some from my CDC and made my first mug of the stuff on Friday night......
:bliss:
HOW WRONG WAS I!!!
:bliss:
IT'S BLOOMIN' GORGEOUS!!!
:bliss:
I think this hot drink might just be my salvation on CD. It tastes really nice - so much better than it smells in the tub! Its a bit like a nice version of Bovril crossed with tasty chicken gravy (sorry, that doesn't sound nice - but this stuff really is). If anyone else is not a sweet-tooth person and wants some savoury for a change, take the plunge and try it.

Seriously, DO NOT sniff the powder before making it though.
