Imagine this with less clothes & less facial hair (just) = Our picnic.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Yeh yeh I know crisps and dips aren\u2019t top of the health freaks list of things to eat. But let me tell you lady, as\u00a0\u00a0if you didn’t already know,\u00a0 I am no health freak and there is nothing<\/strong> I\u00a0 like better than sitting with pals, a ginormous mound of chips and a selection of dips to hoover up and gorge on whilst drinking chilled wine and speaking nonsense.<\/p>\n

I am always happy and obsessive about eating the latest delight so I must report the discovery of some delicious fresh, lip smacking dips from a local Scottish company called Dip Nation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When the sun came out at the weekend it was the excuse I was looking for so I made the call and with half an hour til the gannets (aka friends) burst in I\u00a0grabbed 4 tubs of Dip Nation, a massive bag of tortilla chips,\u00a0 a bottle of prosecco, a rug and some nurofen for Anne who had overdone it the night before then we hit the garden. Hello.<\/p>\n

The branding on the dip was what caught my eye but soon enough the taste captured my heart. Yeh yeh a bit over the top you may think…but just wait until you try them. Lordy be still my beating heart.<\/p>\n

So a few hours later, I have to confess I am Fatty Arbuckle. I sat and ate and dipped and swigged and ate as the others ate and talked, and played I just ate and slurped. And shouted \u2018taste this\u2019 as I tasted more.<\/p>\n

\"City<\/a> \"City<\/a> \"IMG-20110424-00084\"<\/a> \"IMG-20110424-00085\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Excited enough to take photos as they disappeard in front of my eyes. I thought I should share the joy with you. JOY.<\/p>\n

So as my health freakery is postponed for another day, week, year, lifetime I sit happy. Podgy but happy. I gave them a call to say I LOVE YOUR DIPS and they were so chuffed they offered\u00a0 to send a couple to one of my readers! So how about it?<\/p>\n

Tell me where Dip Nation are based and one reader will be getting some delivered to their door for them, their pals, their tartan rug and their delight and delictation.<\/p>\n

I will put the name of the lucky Dip Nation recipient on the blog here tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Arbuckle x<\/p>\n
