Today we went to the store to buy pokey. I got 7 different flavours: strawberry, strawberry with real strawberry, green tea, cookies and cream, chocolate and roasted peanut, blueberry with real blueberry, and “cream flavour biscuit roll” which is like inside out squished pokey. All these together? The 7 boxes cost less than one box would in Canada.
Now let me go into way more detail on these pokey than I need to.
The normal strawberry is what I would usually get, and is good. It was my favorite. It tastes like strawberry cream filling but a bit muted. It gets a 6.5-7/10. The strawberry with bit of real strawberry is very similar except that the strawberry tastes stronger and just a tinge sour, like many real strawberry’s tend to. It gets an 8/10. The green tea pokey tastes like Thai milk tea, and it is good, but not what I’m looking for in pokey. It’s not nearly as sweet as the others and the texture stands out more. The cookies in cream is very good, but I’ve had some really good ice cream that has kind of spoiled me in terms of cookie and cream flavoured things. 7/10. The chocolate peanut is fantastic, but I’m not a huge fan of chocolate and peanut together personally. For other people who aren’t crazy like me, 9/10. On to…. the blueberry. Ahh the blueberry. This one is my favorite, it you hadn’t guessed. It tastes like the sweet blueberry part of a blueberry muffin. 10/10.
