Wrong But Funny: The EnglandKini

Posted on by

With the World Cup around the corner the players will be playing in scorching temperatures this summer in Brazil. UK company ThumbsUp! Have designed a kit that will keep the players very cool, they just need the players to get the kit. ThumbsUp! Are hoping a journalist can drop off the kits in Brazil, so the England players can wear a kit that will keep them cool this summer.”englandkini

Whilst it’s clearly a novelty product, creator ThumbsUp! say “It’s the perfect kit to keep cool in Brazil and it’ll definitely keep their Brazil Nuts covered.” Whilst fans have clearly seen the funny side, you can expect to see pubs, full of men ‘fitting’ into the Englandkini’s whilst cheering on Rooney and Co this summer. ThumbsUp! said “We hope we can get some to the players as we’re sure they’d see the funny side.”

The newly launched EnglandKini has been snapped up by hoards of fans as it’s cheaper than an official England Jersey. Fans can now support the Three Lions at a fraction of the cost.

The EnglandKini costs just £7.99 from Amazon. But are you brave enough to wear it?

9 Bar | Food Review

Posted on by

I am on the go a lot so I like to have some snacks in my bag. Cereal bars are a particular favourite.
9bar have re-launched with a sleek new makeover and I tried their 5 varieties – Original, Nutty, Pumpkin, Flax and Organic. 9bars are gluten, dairy and wheat free. 9bars are handmade in Wales.


Original

The original bar is crunchy and delicious. It is also very filling. A brilliant snack. This bar is substantial and not too sweet.

Nutty

This bar is filled with nuts and seeds. Really good cereal bar, and with chocolate on top. Yum.

Pumpkin

I love pumpkin seeds. This bar also has a brilliant carob coating. You can see all of the seeds. It tastes sweet and is filling.

Flax

Flax seed is very popular with the health conscious. Flax seed is a super food, making these bars even more healthy. Tastes brilliant too.

Organic

This organic bar is tasty and pure organic heaven. Topped with chocolate and full of seeds. The perfect on the go bar.

The 9bar range is available from Waitrose, Tesco, Sainsbury, Asda, Morrison’s, Holland & Barrett and independent health food stores nationwide. All varieties are available in 4 x 40g multi packs, RRP £1.89, and in 50g singles, RRP 70p.

HEARTNUTS FOR VALENTINE’S DAY

Posted on by

‘Why not treat your loved one to Heartnuts this year?’

NutsandSeeds.co.uk, a London based company, are introducing a brand new nut or seed to the UK every month. Last month they welcomed Black Walnuts. This month they’re introducing Heartnuts!

Heartnuts are a beautiful variety of the Japanese Walnut. They are a rare and delicious nut that are shaped like a heart and open like a locket – with two heart shaped halves.

Once inside, the small pieces of nut meat will delight your taste buds.

The heartnut has a pleasing taste of a mild, sweet Walnut but without the bitterness. Like walnuts they have the same heart healthy properties of omega 3 and 6 and are packed full of healthy antioxidants, protein and fiber which are proven to be good for cardiovascular health and brain function.

A wonderful nut raw, in cooking or baking, it is especially flavourful toasted. They can be used in any recipe that uses walnuts. Heartnuts make a wonderful pesto and are delicious in cookies and baked goods. The mild, sweet flavour is excellent with cheeses such as feta. 

The Heartnut’s beautiful shells are also great for crafting. The heart shape, sturdy structure, and texture work very well in wreaths and decorations.

If you’re a grower, Heartnut trees are fast growing, hardier and more vigorous than walnut trees, less prone to disease and more tolerant of wet climates. They have the potential to grow very well in the UK and Ireland and NutsandSeeds.co.uk are highly supportive of English growers. Nuts and Seeds already sell English grown cobnuts, chestnuts and walnuts from UK organic farms.
