Well there's popcorn and puffed rice.... not something I've ever seen as an edible mix around here.  That's why I thought it was an animal food.

Too much rabbit food to be muesli! Looks like something you'd eat in the dark. 8) Because of the pop corn, not something you'd I'd add hot water to.

Gen-mai Cha
Japanese whole leaf green tea with toasted and puffed rice

This makes a wonderful pale yellow green tea with a lovely nutty flavour

Blame Ian and Maggi. When I stayed there in 2007 Ian was drinking white tea from McBeans in Aberdeen. Every since I've been getting parcels of tea and coffee from them

David,

I'm guessing this is one of those that you have to put into one of those tea holder thingies into your pot, or make up your own tea bags.  No wonder I had no idea what it was..... I have lemon and honey tea quite often, but it invoves tea bags not loose tea.

So Mark, the "popcorn" is actually "poprice"?

You get worse! Except that already today I could not remember what "something to do with fish"  was - I meant "aquatic"  ... there was something else as well.... but I can't remember what that was, at all.  :-[

 I'll get Ian to go buy some, Mark.... I'm intrigued now I see it!
