More info The Spring Funfest is in full swing on Centenary Square and honestly, it looks just lovely. A funfair, featuring the city's biggest rollercoaster and a hedge maze marked by tall flowers, are two of the biggest features of the Easter holiday event, and I was nosying around at all the things you could do when a sign stopped me in my tracks. "Knafeh Pistachio Strawberry Pots" the bright pink sign said, pitched out on front of a street food truck where green liquid was cascading down from the arms of some fascinating, gleaming chrome dispenser.

It's free. The pitch is right outside the Library of Birmingham and it's all I wanted to spend my money on. So instead of taking a spin on the carousel, I chucked £7 at the pot and watched as it was constructed. Layers of sweet, red strawbs were joined in the plastic cup by liquid chocolate that soon set hard, as well as lashings of the knafeh. My own experience of knafeh is, I accept, limited. I'd been spoiled by a £15 bar of the finest Dubai chocolate from the country itself, drizzled with colourful chocolate and bursting with pistachio filling, and I'd fallen in love. It's a mix of things that make it so popular, that Dubai chocolate. It's the nutty, decadent creme, smooth, bright green and photogenic for cracking visuals, with all those little spun pastry dough shards that crackle gloriously against your teeth. It ticks all the TikTok boxes, it looks a picture and it gives big ASMR action. So I hoped dearly that the £7 pot might, in some way, satisfy the Dubai chocolate hole in my life. Honestly, it was better than I'd imagined it would be. It had so many cracking pastry shards inside it was a little like the bottom of a bag of Shredded Wheat, which added extra bite and made it feel like you're getting a lot of value for £7. The strawberries were sweet and plump, set firm in the set milk chocolate (not the best quality, but good enough). Chocolate covered strawberries are a dream in any situation. The pot wasn't full to the brim, but that's just as well, because it's so rich and luxurious that it was me that was absolutely full to the brim by the half way point - this is fair warning if you're planning on going on the rollercoaster after! The set chocolate means you can't easily shovel spoonfuls into your face at lightning speed, which certainly helps if you're a glutton like me. It was the strawberries that set it apart from the Dubai bar. Well, that and the price. Walking along the canalside in the sunshine, I could have been on the beach in Dubai. Well, if you discount the furious geese and the random floating chicken boxes in the cut that tell of a weekend on the razz. A bar of the finest pistachio chocolate from the United Arab Emirates might be a welcome treat, but the £7 pot in Burj Brum might be even better!
