Yumi's Dip

Taste

I picked up this little gem at the Gluten Free Expo. I've tried some of their dips before, and they were indeed Yumi!. This time, I picked up the:

  • Smoked Trout Mousse - a creamy mess with a deep distinguishable smoky trout flavour
  • Gourmet Tuna Mousse - heavily of fish and lemon, also creamy but with more solid.
  • Gold Chunky Pumpkin & Pepitas - I wasn't sure what pepitas was but it turned out to be pumpkin seeds, so pumpkin on pumpkin! Anyway, there's a very sweet taste of pumpkin and a hint of spiciness, but it's not very chunky at all!

Rating - trout - 8, tuna - 7, pumpkin - 7.5

Look

A bit old fashioned. Each one came in a foiled-sealed container. As mentioned, all the dips looked creamy and smooth. The pumpkin had a really bright colour and was very inviting, but the other two were just pink and brown gook.

Rating - trout - 1, tuna - 1, pumpkin - 2

C-factor

The seafood comes in 200g and the Chunky in 150g. It's usually quite expensive but I picked up the 3 for $7.

Rating - 1

Swiss Points - trout - 10, tuna - 9, pumpkin - 10.5
