HOLY BREWJOL AIS, MAC’S BACK!
If (as some wag put it) Paul Henry returning to New Zealand was the final sign of the apocalypse, surely Mac’s re-releasing a favourite brew is a sure sign that normality may yet resume. Unavailable since the Christchurch earthquakes, Mac’s Brewjolais is (at long last!) back on supermarket and bottle store shelves, or via littlecreatures.co.nz –RRP $7.99 per 440ml can. The exact flavours of this unfiltered beer vary due to the hops used for each edition; this year’s brew (ABV 6%) is dry with notes of tropical fruits, nectarine and mandarin zest.
A SL AB OFF THE OLD BLOCK
Ifrecent events have taught us anythingit’s that nothingis set in stone. Classics, however, are always admired by those with good... taste. Creamy on the outside, smooth and nutty within, Cadbury Dairy MilkMarble was a popular treat when first released years ago and now it’s makinga comeback, available from supermarkets nationwide –RRP $3.60 per block.
JASBERRY – NO PLAIN GRAIN
Fortifyingour immune systems is crucial to maintaininga healthy lifestyle, a fact that’s never been more poignant than in recent months. Thankfully, superfoods are especially well suited to performingthis role. With 40 times higher antioxidant levels than brown rice, seven times that ofkale, four times more than quinoa and almost three times more antioxidants than in blueberries, Jasberry organic rice is no plain grain!
Developed through natural-cross-breeding, this variety of rice also features anthocyanins, which give blueberries their colour. Soft with a deep aromatic flavour, this superfood is ideal in almost any rice-based dish, especially Asian style foods. Jasberry Rice is available (RRP $10.49 per 500gpack) from Huckleberry, Farro Fresh and participating supermarkets nationwide.

However, as they’re oven baked and packed with wholesome ingredients –includingoats, fruit and seeds –these bars are as well suited to the heath conscious as to lounge lizards.
