Magic Corn & Muffin Break. Broadmarsh Shopping Centre, Nottingham.

Five hours after the first cup of corn, the munchies started to set in again after a long day of shopping. So I managed to persuade Peri to come back to the Magic Corn stand so I could have some plain with a little extra butter, which was really good. I still missed the cracked black pepper but the whole idea of a cup of corn for a snack is something I'm very okay with.

Magic Corn - £1.50.
Mocha Frappe - £2.79(? I don't really remember)

We had a little time to kill so we had a sit down in Muffin Break while we waited. So I ordered one of my all time favourite drinks, a mocha frappe. Quite a lot of these I've had before have been quite watered down and not very chocolatey. This was fantastic, it tasted like the cappuccino truffles you can buy from Thorntons. Really chocolatey with the right amount of coffee, it was amazing. When she asked me if I wanted cream on top I had a little panic and said yes, but there was too much of it for my taste. Other than that it was great. <3

Cheesecake - £3.00(?)

Peri had a hot chocolate and a slice of cheesecake of unknown origin. We had no idea what flavour it was supposed to be, because the sign simply said cheesecake so I couldn't have any in case it had nuts in it. Peri, being a lover of cheesecake told me it was really fluffy and light. The base wasn't great and we had NO idea what the while middle was supposed to be. It was really rich so she only finished a few forkfuls of it.

We had food and a show because the people to our side got stuck in a lift.

27th October 2010.

Magic Corn. Broadmarsh Shopping Centre, Nottingham.

On what seemed like the first day off I'd had in forever, me and my friend Peri decided to hop on the bus and do a bit of shopping in Nottingham. I'd skipped breakfast because I was in a rush to get out of the house and was feeling pretty hungry while we were walking through Broadmarsh. It was too early for lunch and Peri suggested we have some "Magic Corn". My immediate reaction was "...what." as she took me to the little stall saying she'd get us one to share. We're greeted by a smiley man at a green cart type stall with posters on it with all the different flavour corn you can have. Peri orders the "Magic Cheese" saying she'd had it before.

Magic Cheese Corn - £1.50

We didn't have anywhere to put it down, so Peri had to hold it up while I snapped a quick photo of it. It's made in a small takeaway coffee style cup. The guy puts half the corn in, then a spoonful of butter, then the rest of the corn followed by the "Magic" part. The powdered flavouring. Doesn't sound great, huh? He then shook it for a little while and handed it to us, with a tiny yellow spoon. I was pretty dubious to say the least as I love corn but I'm not a huge fan of melted cheese, or anything of that consistency.

Once it'd cooled down I had a spoonful, it wasn't half bad. The powder sort of disappeared down to the bottom of the cup, so that bit was pretty gross. The cheese flavour really just reminded me of Wotsits. It was the same colour and texture of the stuff left on your fingers after a bag of Wotsits. It was alright, but I would have just preferred it plain with butter, salt and cracked black pepper.
