However, there have been another couple of chunkless disappointments that disheartened me. I would warn hardened chunk seekers to stay away from Chrysanthemum Tea.
Chrysanthemum Tea
This will let you down in either its chilled soft drink form or its hot tea form. I was hoping for hunks of petals, maybe even the odd stalk, but only got over sweetened syrup. Still, at least it's good for varicose veins and comes with suitable medical dosage advice.

Yeo's Sugar Cane Drink
The same goes for this, although it is worth pausing to admire the colour briefly.

Haitai CocoPalm
Basically the same as all the other coconut drinks reviewed previously. Nothing new to report here.

Irish Moss Peanut Drink
This was my first failure as a chunk drinker. Again, purchased in the mistaken belief it would contain the much sought after potential choking hazard of good sturdy peanut chunks. Alas, it was ground into a thick paste suitable only for sticking coloured cardboard shapes to the walls of primary school classrooms.
The paste itself was perhaps thick enough to cause choking, it was difficult to swallow, and had a slight nutty flavour.
However, it was sweet to the point of sickness and I abandoned it after only half a glass. It was even too thick to pour down my drain.

Zero Degrees
It's not all bad news however. There have been some impressive finds too. For starters, this leftfield effort by Zero Degrees bar in Bristol to add some orange wedges to their home brew Belgian style orange beer.
There's nothing special about citrus slices in alcoholic drinks par se, but I like where they are going with this, it has potential. Barley in the brew, wheat in the wheat beer, apple chunks and a bit of straw in the cider, rats tails hanging out of the scrumpy. You see where I'm going. Come one Zero Degrees, are you listening?

Mongilee Shang Basil Seed Drink
It looks like frog spawn...
It crunches like raspberry pips...
And it tastes like, um, the pastel pink love juice of a My Little Pony (I'm guessing).
It even leaves grit in the bottom of the glass. Perfect.
