Food is delicious. There’s no beating around the bush here, guys. I mean, come on, food is the reason the word “delicious” was invented, so it almost goes without saying. Almost.

With that said, there are some delicious foods that most of you are probably not eating at all, or if you have managed to get your hands on them, I doubt you’re eating them enough. I could just demand that you all go out and eat more Cheesecake, but if you wanted to do that (And you should want to), you could just go to any shop and buy one. They’re everywhere, and that’s a fact I am thankful for daily.

There are some foods, however, that more than likely slip from your conciousness because they’re not in your face whenever you go to the shops. As students, we really need to take advantage of this time in our lives. We can eat absolutely terribly, explore the limits of our taste-buds, and not feel absurdly guilty about it. I want to share some foods with you that you need to eat more of. Consider this an exposé.

Pop-Tarts

For those of you who enjoy Pop-Tarts on a regular basis, then I applaud you. This is not for you. These deliciously filled breakfast pastries, however, are not readily available. I hardly see them anywhere, which is terrible, especially since they’re made by Kellogg’s, who we all have such an affinity for. I’m sure the majority of you won’t be eating a Pop-Tart as you’re reading this, and that’s a problem. A problem that needs fixin’.

It turns out that large Tesco stores (The Tesco Extra in Cardiff, for example) sell Pop-Tarts in their breakfast snack section. It’s the one with all the breakfast based bars, like Rice Crispies Marshmallow Bars. They’re definitely easy to miss, but make some effort and you’ll be rewarded with the greatest breakfast treat of all time.

Cookie Dough

American television is great, but if there’s one thing that gets me about having to watch all of their awesome TV, it’s that the food they regularly snack on hardly ever gets sold here in the UK. I can’t go out and buy Twinkies like Americans can, so it annoys me when they’re constantly flaunted by the B-List stars of the small screen.

One of my primary obsessions concerning far-western food is their raw cookie dough. Sometimes, I don’t want the bakery to assume that the cooking process needs to be completed. Sometimes I want to snack on the very building blocks of the delicious snacks that they’re offering. Cookie dough fills this void in my life perfectly, but for the longest time I had assumed that it was unavailable here.

Indeed, my only experience in that realm up to a point had been my own trip to America, and a partly failed experiment involving my parents bringing some back for me on the plane. It was not in a good state when it arrived, I can tell you.

Imagine my surprise and almost orgasmic happiness when I found out that Sainsbury’s had been selling cookie dough this entire time? It’s just advertised absolutely horribly. I’m sure they’d see massive sales if they put a giant sign outside telling passing punters that they have cookie dough inside, but whatever. More for me, I guess.

The particular cookie dough I refer to is shown on this website. It’s in the butter aisle at my local Sainsbury’s. Go and buy some, and then devour it. You can thank me after you’ve finished throwing up.
