Nuts with breakfast and nuts for morning tea is a good habit. I’m happy with that. But add nuts in dinner and nuts in lunch and now I feel like I’m carrying a bowling ball in my stomach.
But it is morning tea time and I only have nuts. Because I only keep nuts at work, lest I eat junk. No junk to eat, no junk eaten. Usually a good equation.
Time to break the emergency glass. Time for one of the muesli bars I bought for The Husband. Which does have nuts – it’s honey and nut flavour – but it shouldn’t be pure nut!
Unwrap. Looks like an average muesli bar, minus any dried fruit (hated by my love). Kind of higher and narrower, I guess. Doesn’t look very sticky. Seems to be predominately made up of oats and wheat.
Bite.
Easily splinters into my mouth. The grains break apart from each other so it isn’t crunchy at all but not quite chewy either.
Though the molars do get a good workout to pound it down.
Tastes… weirdly bitter for a snack bar. There’s definitely rye, perhaps some molasses, and a hint of honey in a can’t-let-the-packaging-lie way.
Do not see any nuts. That’s good, I guess?
Munch.
Half-way through and still no nuts! Not buying these for The Husband again, he needs protein for his gym workouts and this is not delivering.
Get the remaining half out of the wrapper for a good inspection.
I see one almond. Eat my way to and through it.
Yeah, malt, molasses and rye. That’s that it tastes like. I guess that doesn’t market as well as honey and nut.
Last bite… oh, a peanut!
Can’t believe I am actually getting excited to see a nut considering my food mood, but the only thing that makes me more cranky than the wrong kind of food is poor value for money.

I am a big nut.
