The Quest for the Perfect Snack. No. 1. Eat Naturals "Three Bars of Nuts and Fruit with...Almonds Apricots and a Yoghurt Coating... and Nothing Dodgy""

Eat Natural’s “Three Bars of Nuts and Fruit with… Almonds Apricots and a Yoghurt Coating… and Nothing Dodgy” stood out in Tesco’s not only because its super long title but because it was just about the only bar that wasn’t made out of reconstituted orangutan.

The packaging, distressed cardboard and vaguely 70’s design hinted at a level of goodness that could be only rivaled by Jesus wearing an organic hemp smock. This natural and homely appeal obviously worked as when I arrived home and unwrapped them found that there were only three bars. As I searched the box for explanation to this obvious mistake I ashamedly discovered that it did mention this fact several times on the packet… right from the word go. Three though!!! That’s only enough to eat one on the way back from the super market, then eat another to see if it was as good as the first then give the last one to your little brother.

The actual bar however was great with an abundance of real apricot, almonds and that stringy coconut favored by women in the CWA. The combination was delightful and filling but I had trouble with the “yoghurt coating”. Lets call a spade a spade here, or in this case a high tech metal detector a high tech metal detector. There was nothing yoghurty about this yoghurt… It was plainly white chocolate and wouldn’t be allowed within 50 yards of a health food store;  which is probably why “Three Bars of Nuts and Fruit with… Almonds Apricots and a Yoghurt Coating… and Nothing Dodgy”  wasn’t being sold in “Alfalfa Enthusiasts cooperative” and was instead being sold in Tesco.
