Here is the list of ingredients: oats, figs, almonds, sweetener "crystals" made of a mix of cane juice with molasses and honey, cinnamon, turmeric, nutmeg, mace, white pepper, galangal, black and green cardamom, ginger, anise, allspice, rose petals, and a grain of salt.
So what does this weird Moroccan spice mix actually taste like? Well, it's not quite the same as the basic mix of cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg in familiar "spice" desserts, but if you're not consciously looking for the exotic tastes of galangal and rose petals, it tastes similar to your basic cinnamon-ginger blend, or maybe five-spice blend, with a grain of salt and a fleck of pepper. Basically it tastes like sweet, nutty, figgy oatmeal.
Is it safe? Duh. I'm still having a celiac reaction to the last poisoning of the roadsides; it's not rained yet. I'm sick anyway. I can't imagine figs or honey being safe, even if the oats and almonds are, but I'm not sure how much difference that's going to make.
This morning I started to buy peanuts, again, and then I saw this "different" oatmeal that I'd wanted to try before, in the cafe again, and it occurred to me that nobody can live very long on peanuts alone and I'm not going to feel better before it rains in any case.
We need a total glyphosate ban. If our federal government is too corrupt to give us one, and is corrupt enough to make it hard for states, towns, and counties to ban this poison, we need to ban it ourselves, by any and all means necessary. Live on celiac-tested glyphosate-free food, which I realize means peanuts, until other food products rot on the shelves and farmers themselves take out TV ads showing how they've safely burned all glyphosate-tainted crops, in an enclosed furnace with a fresh thick filter on every vent, and are going 100% "pesticide"-free. Boycott stores that sell glyphosate, or anything else made by any company that makes it. Demand that existing supplies of glyphosate be used up in the only ethically tolerable way: pumping them into Bayer corporate executives locked in fully enclosed cells with TV cameras, so those who are really obsessed with "the science" can see whether tumors form before the guilty parties die of starvation.
Meanwhile, I lived dangerously. I ate a bowl of oatmeal.
You wouldn't spend $3.59 on one bowl of oatmeal at home, but if you're going to eat in a restaurant anyway, Moroccan Spice Oatmeal is not "too weird" or salty or yucky. And the chunks of almond are big enough to crunch, but being dried out and rehydrated makes them crunch easily, like peanuts, which is a nice touch for some.
