I’ m on your side about matcha. Dislike it. However I did try a beetroot latte last week which was very pleasant. I ‘ll certainly have another.

Did you have to say that? 😁🤢

I like the mini pistachio chocolate eggs from M&S. They're yummy but not sure how 'pistachioey' they are.

I've also yet to taste "Dubai Chocolate" also green inside, from Pistachios which I do like. I suspect that's also been over-hyped.

Don't bother , doesn't taste of pistachios and it is more the consistently of shredded wheat.
I bought the first one and thought it might have been because I bought a cheap bar, but bought some different ones over Christmas and it was the same.

Never ever heard of it and never seen anywhere selling it round here perhaps we re not sophisticated enough in this part of the world 🤣

I saw someone drinking it in a cafe. It resembled the cuttings from a lawnmower box. I suspect it’s been hyped up on tik tok and will fade into obscurity when something else comes along to take its place.

It's supposed to be very healthy and good for you...

Thanks for the feedback, I've also wondered what it might be like, now I knowshock No longer will curiosity get the better of me.

I ordered one last summer took one sip and that was it; revolting.

Having read about Matcha and seen it mentioned in food programmes I thought I'd try it. I had a mug of Matcha in a cafe today. It arrived looking like a bright green cappuccino. Well it was awful! Just horrible like minced spinach in a cup. It is just me? Do others like it or was it made wrong?
