I had wasabi peanuts on their own today...gahh. It's like there's a party in my mouth and everybody's throwing up. They went straight on the bin list
Apple Strudel was quite nice tho.

This weeks box was fresh grapefruit - Hardly ever had this in life despite knowing how packed full of goodness it is. Very nice.

Chilli Seed Mix - Lovely but it is hot!

Finally a mix of dried banana discs, wallnuts and raisens - not all that and the dried banana's stank

I've had around 5 boxes now and have yet to pay full price for them because they've all been £1 jobbies from nice peeps using meh code!

Lemon salted pistachios. Not convinced - not sure whether it's the lemon (I had lemon salted almonds a few days ago and they got binned) or the pistachios (which I've never had before). Going to give them the benefit of the doubt and they can stay on try for another attempt.

The rest is repeats - pineapple and japanese crackers - both nom!

All yummy! I was surprised at how un-brown the apple was especially considering there was no visible acidulated water (or similar) in the box. Absolutely loved the rice crackers. I wasn't expecting to like them but I did. I wouldn't have minded if the cashews had a bit more chili on them but still very nice.

I was having a look at how they prepare their fresh stuff and although they don't add any presevatives etc., they do wash it in water with added vitamins/minerals to keep as fresh as possible. They also put a damp pad in (they did with my pineapple) to absorb any excess moisture from the fresh stuff, which has a very finely perforated lid. Pretty impressed with the amount of thought that goes into it to keep it fresh without diluting the taste

I received a box with apple in on a Saturday, but forgot, and didn't eat it until the Monday. Wasn't brown at all...hmm.

Apples are sent in just the plastic box, there's no fresh sleeve (or whatever they call it) as they say it isn't necessary. I do wonder how they can keep apple looking as fresh as this with no preservatives, no fresh sleeve and no acidulated water. Quite impressive.

Yeah it is, I think I'll just have to bin it to be honest. We've had 3 deliveries today but they haven't made it here yet. I'll never remember to take it in, so there's little point. I'm crap at remembering, that's why I was ordering it to work :/ Off goes I to email them again?!?

Ah bugger Not sure if you work in a big office (iirc you do), but I certainly wouldn't trust our mail department to get it to me. Strange how you've not received the box at all though, even a late one. Wonder if someone's nabbed it. Surely not for 2 weeks in a row though. How odd!
