Choklat

A couple of weeks ago my best friend made me a birthday cake. She spent a LOT of money on the ingredients in order for the cake to be diabetic friend. Like.... A LOT!

Bob's Redmill Almond flour, Erythritol..

The almond flour alone was $30 for just a kg.

It ended up being a vanilla frosted manhole cover - the exact type of device we could send overseas as weapons of mass destruction. I couldn't even use it for frisbee golf. It was too heavy.

I felt terrible for her, but truly appreciated the effort she went through.

Today I thought I'd try and see where things went sideways. I bought a bag of Bob's Redmill Almond flour (another $30 wasted), opened it up and discovered...

THIS IS THE SH*TTIEST FLOUR ON THE PLANET AND SHOULD NOT EVEN BE CALLED FLOUR. IN FACT IT'S NOT FLOUR. IT'S ALMOND FLAVOURED SAND.

It's the consistency of cornmeal. It's not flour at all.

This is the kind of stuff that gets used as mortar for sidewalk blocks and the anti-slip stuff you add to floor paint. I'd be surprised if you could even sift it through a chain link fence!

This isn't food.

I don't often smack-talk ingredients, but this one? O.M.G.

I have a 1kg bag of almond flour here for free if someone needs some anti-slip stuff for their deck paint and wants to take it.

Bob. Be embarrassed.
