We Try Kunafa Dubai Chocolate With Pistachio

You find Darrell and I trying out another Dubai chocolate, but obviously, once again, one at the lower end of the market, because availing ourselves of the absolute "real thing" would be way way out of our stringent budget! 


So, today we have Kunafa, which cost us £5.90 for 100g bar from Amazon.


To be honest we weren't really sure what to expect, perhaps a tad more lux in the presentation department, with a more ample fillage than the first bar of Dubai chocolate we tried the other week?


Certainly, the inner gold wrapper was suitably impressive, but there again, we're not really going to eat that are we?


And, the all important filling of a viral sensation type nature? 


Well, it looked as if there was more, with a softer, creamier texture.


 BUT, how did it taste?


Well, the chocolate itself, although pretty thick, was nothing special, in fact it tasted on the cheap side, if we're brutally honest.


And the all important filling?  Nah, it didn't do anything for us, as it was hard to pick out any discernible pistachio taste.  It had crunch, but then there was far too much kataifi 
in it for our liking, which left a strange aftertaste, like a breakfast cereal we just can't quite put our fingers on, Weetabix perhaps, anyway, it spoilt it.


Now, would we buy it again? No.  Would we recommend it to family, friends or strangers? No.  We know we can do better, so upwards and onwards, to the next bar please .........

Hmm. Never mind. Plus, you have done a community service, by telling your fans your valued opinion.

Talking of value - this bar seems very expensive. Tesco has a 360g Cadbury Dairy Milk bar, for five pounds. I'd rather go for that. Plus, you could almost get a Maltesers Kingsize, bag as well.

I have gotten my own mouth watering, this time. :)

(Did you recently say, however, that Cadbury's chocolate has changed for the worse?)
