I just can’t help myself anytime I walk into a grocery store this time a year and walk away from a pumpkin product I’ve never tried before. Strolling down the frozen food aisle at Global Foods, I spotted a captivating custard loaded with slices of my favorite orange gourd julienned on top. It didn’t take me long to get it home and see if it was up to snuff. Here’s the rundown:
S&P out of Thailand makes this interesting custard that is conveniently packed in a plastic, square microwavable tray allowing for a quick and easy meal as the box displays. I popped this Asian dish into the microwave and followed the directions to heat the dish. As it nuked, it smelled absolutely divine. I couldn’t wait to pull off the plastic and as soon as I did, steam escaped carrying the sweet eggy aroma with it directly into my nostrils. After letting it cool for a minute, I plunged my fork into the gelatinous mass of pumpkin custard, and shoveled the first bite into my mouth. It was sweet, with a hint of pumpkin without the spices we are used to when eating a dessert of this nature. The texture was fabulous as it melted and rolled around my tongue before making its descent into my stomach. I quickly consumed the rest of the custard eyeing my empty plate looking for more.
Forget Dierbergs and Schnucks and start shopping at these local treasures like Global Foods. This is the type of place you could easily spend hours discovering foods that you never thought existed. This is my first post on this international grocery store, but I’ll guarantee you that it won’t be the last. There’s just way too much in there that I have to let you know about. If you just don’t care about making shopping an adventure, then maybe this isn’t the blog Fork U.
