I need to know more about this bar. Is it honeycomb AND wafer or honeycomb wafer?

Title: Kit Kat Honeycomb
Post by: oldspice on August 24, 2006, 09:03:05 pm

Sounds too crunchy to me. Honeycomb and wafer would do my teeth in. Set them on edge.

I like the sound of this!

Not for me, I don't like crunchies, but I do like the mini ones in the Heroes.

I'd give it a go!

Me too! Now what about this Kit Kat?

Sound of food "as important as taste"

The sound of food can be as important as its taste, according to new research. Malcolm Povey, professor of food physics at the University of Leeds, analysed which foods produced the most ultrasound, arguing that crispiness could be a major factor in what foods we prefer. His team discovered that Jazz apples produced far more ultrasound than biscuits or thick-cut crisps, providing the best "enjoyment of biting" of any food tested. "When it comes to the pleasure of eating, sound is as important as colour and taste but how our brain interprets this information is not yet understood," said Professor Povey. "When you munch a Jazz apple you are in fact creating massive peaks of ultrasound in your head that we experience as a vibration sensation. "Ultrasound is sound that is beyond the range of normal human hearing. Intriguingly, our brains automatically cut out the ultrasound when munching so as not to make ourselves deaf." The study was commissioned by Worldwide Fruit, and conducted at the Food Centre of Industrial Collaboration, funded by Yorkshire Forward. http://www.fdin.co.uk/news/index.php Not for some people on here then.

also just out in australia, Kit Kat Cookie Dough

Title: Kit Kat Honeycomb
Post by: oldspice on August 28, 2006, 09:22:45 am

I never could see the attraction in eating cookie dough. It's a peculiar American habit.

Title: Kit Kat Honeycomb
Post by: kevvosa on August 28, 2006, 09:30:55 am

The cookie dough Ben and Jerry's is delicious though 

Title: Kit Kat Honeycomb
Post by: yankees26mlb on August 28, 2006, 11:43:23 am

cookie dough is quite popular here in America. I don't find it to be too attractive either though

Title: Kit Kat Honeycomb
Post by: oldspice on August 28, 2006, 11:55:18 am

Hi Yankee. I'm sorry, my comment might have appeared rude to an American! Glad you agree that it's unappealing though.

Title: Kit Kat Honeycomb
Post by: loulou on August 28, 2006, 05:08:10 pm

I've never eaten cookie dough but my friend is addicted to it.

Title: Kit Kat Honeycomb
Post by: oldspice on August 28, 2006, 06:26:57 pm

Why not just eat cookies? Cooked ones?

Title: Kit Kat Honeycomb
Post by: loulou on August 28, 2006, 06:30:43 pm

I wonder if it's bad to eat the cookie dough uncooked.

They have a different texture. Have you never tried Ben and Jerry's cookie dough?

It is for the cookie dough. Mind you, so is eating it cooked!

Title: Kit Kat Honeycomb

It's not like eating raw cake mixture which can definitely be bad for you - I know someone who got food poisoning from it. 

Title: Kit Kat Honeycomb
Post by: oldspice on August 29, 2006, 07:39:53 pm

That may have been from the eggs - they'd be raw.

Title: Kit Kat Honeycomb
Post by: kevvosa on August 29, 2006, 08:13:38 pm

I'm sure I read that in America they have developed a cookie dough mixture that doesn't need eggs, so is safe to eat.

3 more Japanese variations are due out this month

Title: Kit Kat Honeycomb

Can anyone translate the flavours? 

Title: Kit Kat Honeycomb

Dark, White and Berry?

Title: Kit Kat Honeycomb
Post by: on September 01, 2006, 06:32:01 pm

Is it not a hazelnut or horse chestnut variety on the right?

Title: Kit Kat Honeycomb
Post by: loulou on September 01, 2006, 07:42:07 pm

Could be. Did you know "kitto katsu" is an expression used by Japanese students to wish each other luck before exams.

They'll be more KitKat varieties than people in Japan soon.

I like the look of the cookie dough kitkat. Are they coming to us?

Title: Kit Kat Honeycomb

I doubt it - Nestle are cutting down on the different varieties in the UK.

Come to think of it, I have a recipe for Pumpkin Pie, and it's a sweet dish, so it's not that surprising that pumpkin could be used in a Kitkat. 

Title: Kit Kat Honeycomb
Post by: loulou on October 12, 2006, 10:32:35 pm

Pumpkin pie is nice.

Pumkin can be in savoury dishes too like soup. I sometimes roast it and serve it with sausages casserole.

IMHO, there is only once place for cookie dough - in the oven being made into cookies.
