when you go for a picnic in the nature or a park, always take your waste with you after! also things like banana peel or orange peel! those take ages to decompose in nature.

After seeing these, can't wait for the rainy days we've been suddenly experiencing to melt away, so can go on a picnic and make these for my friends ❤ thank you for another wonderful video full of scrummy treats!! They look ever so delicious! Was wondering if maybe for the films/tv/books inspired foods; Disney films? (Brave: the bear-transformation-cakes, Aristocats: creme-de-la-creme-de-l'edgar, Tiana: beignets, Bambi: clovers (salad?), Mulan: breakfast bowl, Pocahontas: Biscuits, Moana: coconuts) Ghibli films? (Mononoke: rice porridge, Kiki: pancakes or bread, Totoro: cake balls or salad, Spirited Away: dumplings, Howl: breakfast pan, Cat Returns: Tea, Ponyo: 'ham' noodles) Books, maybe Narnia?: Mr Tumnus's house with Lucy (tea or tea-flavoured cupcakes/biscuits [ a classic middle-class British tea, and the simple fresh eggs, buttered toast and sardines], Edmund's Turkish Delight, Shasta's breakfast [ served by a group of dwarfs; porridge (with cream), bacon, eggs, mushrooms, buttered toast, and coffee], the Beavers' dinner of fish and potatoes with a marmalade roll, Aslan's high tea provided to the children before the big battle, the meal Lucy eats with Corakin the Magician of "an omelette, piping hot, cold lamb and green peas, a strawberry ice, lemon-squash to drink with the meal and cup of chocolate to follow." Silver apples (Magician's apprentice) and Pevensies ate lots of apples for Prince Caspian, when he first meets the White Witch Edmund has a hot drink described as "sweet and foamy and creamy" hope these might be useful? Excited for the next video!! Have a wonderful day! 💞

That feta made from marinated tofu is a really interesting idea! I've only tried one vegan feta but I really didn't like how much it tried to taste like real feta, i.e. taste like sheep ^^ I've never liked real feta but I love the 'fake' mild ones made from cow milk. So I really like the idea of possibly recreating that (also, using the liquid from olives makes a lot of sense flavour-wise when you think about it - seems like a great idea!)

Maybe an odd question but the little glass you put the sponge cake in looks a lot like the ones I keep when I buy Rewe Beste Wahl dark chocolate spread (or any of the spreads from that brand). Do you do the same? They come with these super handy silicone lids and i love putting stuff in them to take with me! (Life hack: The lids also fit a standard food can and small yoghurt/creme vega jars perfectly). My tip for anyone living in Germany going to Rewe regularly! These glasses are so practical and we also use them as drinking glasses too :)
