It’s time for my junk story, and my shopping for them. My life story about junk can’t be complete without involving my sister because she was the one that initiated me into loving junk foods. My father has always been against junk foods because he considered them to be unhealthy, he doesn’t forbid us eating junk foods in the house though. But if he sees you eating junk food in the house, just get yourself ready for more than 2 hours lecture of how junk foods are bad for your health.
While he is right about junk food, I tried to avoid junk foods when I was younger, but my sister never listened. She made sure she grabbed every opportunity she got and ate as much junks as possible. So imagine how I felt when she was eating junks and I was forming “the healthy eater”, she laughed at me and offered me some junks and I refused. But there comes a time where a man has to succumb to some of the sweet things in life. So I joined her in her love for junk foods and my journey for the love of junks started.
For junks I love shortbread a lot, but like my cousins will always say, “shortbread is always sweet when you have to beg for it”. When you buy a full shortbread pack, after few sticks you get tired of eating them. But when you see someone eating it and you beg for a stick, it’s always sweeter. My favorite shortbread used to be shortbread from McVities, but variety is the spice.
I decided to try out Tower Gate’s Short bread, well, while it’s good, I must say that I prefer the regular McVities. I feel the Tower Gate’s short bread is less richer in quality of ingredients. The taste is different, the texture is quite different, may be its because of my love for McVities brand. I actually enjoyed eating Tower Gate but part of me still wished I chose the McVities brand. This was my first time trying the Tower Gate brand.
After choosing the Tower Gate brand I came across these varieties of other shortbreads. Wow!! Challenge accepted, this means that I have to buy each of these shortbreads when I visit the supermarket again. The brand has different butter type of short bread. It has the Cranberry Butter, the Milky Butter and the All Butter flavors.
The next thing to get was the chocolate spread, I feel using butter to eat my bread is boring, so using a chocolate spread is way better. I don’t like jam because it’s too jelly and too sweet, I don’t like the fruity flavor. I only love jam in my donuts, just like I love chocolate spread on my bread, I love jam in donuts not the other way. Some people love the chocolate spread in their donut and the jam on their bread. My best chocolate bread used to be the Nutella brand, but lately, these supermarkets have been lacking it and having nussa brand. I love the complete dark chocolate spread compared to the the mixed one with both white and dark chocolate.
Let’s go to the choice of wheat biscuits, I haven’t found a better brand aside McVities. Well don’t blame me, I haven’t tried a lot of brands, McVities is my go to for Wheat Biscuits. Although eating any of these at once gets you easily tired, so I like to eat them bit by bit.
My love for cookies with chocolate chips depends, there are days where I feel like eating all the chocolate chip cookies in the world, while there are days I can’t stand the sight of them. Well, I don’t really have a favorite brand for chocolate chip cookie, I buy any one and eat.
I don’t think I can consider Perfait a junk, it’s quite healthy and contains Greek yogurt. It contains fruits and Greek yoghurt. So perfait is one of the not so junk I love, once again, my sister bought me my first perfait.
