Mango madnessSainsburys has impressed me with fruit this week. I had the most delicious mango and pomegranate, I was actually smiling with pleasure while eating it. Coops had never had pomegranate before and exclaimed, 'what a taste sensation!'

I am usually unimpressed by Sainsbury's selection and quality of fruit so this was a treat. The only thing that annoys me is that they sell some fruit and veg and now their grapes in tiny bags, why not do what they do in Canada and put heaps of grapes out for people to choose how much they want?! All this packaging is driving me crazy. I am going to take a pic of the only way you can buy fresh snow peas and beans here - it is mad.

I miss Canadian supermarkets where you can buy what you need! Central London supermarkets need to step up - are they like this all over the UK?

SOMA ice cream
The berriest ice cream you have ever had. It was almost too flavourful as it was soo potent. You are not used to eating pure crushed blueberries mixed with a little bit of water and sugar - blueberry ice cream is usually almost 90% artificial with blueberry flavour added.

When I tasted this ice cream it tasted nothing like the bluberry ice cream that I am used to. Instead it tasted strong and the blueberry flavour was almost over powering as it is so concentrated. I saw them make a huge batch of the puree and it was basically a 10kg bag of frozen blueberries poured into a large blender and pureed with ice.

Am sure the mango, strawberry and the pistachio were made the same way. Oddly enough, I didn't like the ice cream as it was too much, too strong and maybe the right balance of sugar and fruit was not made, the mango seemed too sweet while the blueberry seemed too sour.

Oh well - I will definitely keep taste testing!

Go to the Jane Corkin gallery and then SOMA, in the Distillery District, for art, chocolate and ice cream and let me know what you think.
