Comments

Taste test notes
  • It looks more like a traditional shape, good even centred cross, but little spice aroma and texture and crumbled on eating.
  • Looks like a plump nice bun, and texture looks great but powdery unpleasant mouthfeel. Hard to differentiate taste and texture because texture makes it unpleasant to eat.
  • Smells like flaxseed but not unpleasant.
  • Looks nice and fluffy but it's powdery – not a pleasant eating texture. Bland taste, better mouthfeel when toasted. Lingering flaxseed aftertaste.
  • Visually good looking but fake smell.
