Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
Ha ha no, without gps it’s hard to tell whether you’re within 10 metres of an X in the middle of a reserve. Also it was hot and very still and a bit creepy way out there tbh. Must have missed out on treasure! But more likely to belong to mafia than pirates, so I’m good with that.
Normally I have an innate sense of direction (I assume it’s just your brain subconsciously keeping track of your movements, sun or stars position, etc - weirdly I still have it even though I no longer do much as a pedestrian) but subway exits can be disconcerting!
Banana essence, in coconut water or apple juice is my new guess.
Ooh, it came in a glass at a restaurant but maybe it was something like this? I can’t find ingredients but it seems to be apple juice with banana puree in it. I guess that would give you a thin drink not like a smoothie, but would be sweet and bananary?
Honestly it feels like two lifetimes ago so I’m not sure that I’d be able to know if it was the same even if I tried it today, I just remember it was sweet, bananary, thin not thick and creamy like a smoothie, and that I ordered a second one because I liked it so much. It seems to make sense that it might come out of a can. It wasn’t further explained, so I guess it’s a bit like ordering a coke.
Ah that looks really yum. I must say this convo has given me a real desire to try banana juice.
I wonder if some of the Asian shops have it? I quite like some of the drinks like cold chrysanthemum tea.
I once had some sort of canned plant flavoured drink. Pretty sure that was in Indonesia too, we went through a local supermarket and bought a bunch of stuff we’d never seen before (mostly junk food).
Anyway, I can’t really recommend canned plant drink. It tasted too healthy, and had some slimy stuff in the bottom.
