[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers West Country Luxury Salted Caramel Ice Cream

Although I have almost tried everything at M&S, it was my first time trying their ice cream.

I got the Marks and Spencers West Country Luxury Salted Caramel Ice Cream which looks similar to their West Country Luxury yoghurt.

The ice cream did not disappoint and I was glad I got the Salted caramel ice cream because it was rich and creamy and not too sweet with a lovely salty kick to it.

I also paired it with sweet potatoes inspired by the Japanese purple potato with icecream and it was a match made in heaven.

[Review] Morrisons 2 Breakfast Slices

I was really excited to discover the Morrisons Breakfast slices!!

They are basically the usual slices stuffed with breakfast ingredient such as sausages and beans so I couldn't wait to try them to see how they compares with Greggs.

Morrisons version was filled with quite a fair amount of sausage slices and beans but it was a bit too dry and starchy because of the beans.

The pastry was a bit too thick and hard for my liking but overall worth trying because it is Morrisons.

[Review] Sainsbury's Cinnamon Swirls

In general the sweet treats at Sainsbury's are really good.

This time I got the Cinnamon Swirls which are delicious because the filling is just moreish and the pastry is not too buttery or dry.

[Review] Sainsburys Eccles Cake

I have never tried an Eccles cake so decided to try some.

You can get these Eccles cake at almost any supermarket but as I was at Sainsburys I got them from there.

The Sainsburys ones were quite big compared to M&S.

Although they are called cakes, there is no cake element in it.

It was two big round puff pastries with currant mince in the middle hence the reason I didn't try them before because I got currants and raisins mixed up.

The puff pastry was quite hard and in the middle there was a generous amount of currant mince.

Overall not bad but I would prefer eating other sweet treats.

According to wiki, you are supposed to eat them warm paired with some aged cheese which makes sense because the currant mince is similar to Quince.

[Review] Warburtons 6 Potato cakes

I love potato cakes so whenever I see different brands I have to buy them.
To be honest, I never knew Warburtons had potato cakes until I saw it on their website.

They were not prominently placed at the supermarket hence I didn't see them on my shopping trips.

Finally found them in Sainsburys on the top shelf.

So far potato cakes I have tried are either rectangular or quadrants but Warburtons are round.

The texture of these potato cakes were firmer than other brands.

As for the taste, you couldn't really taste any potato and it was like eating dough than potatoes.

Strangely, they were nicer deep fried with a bit of gravy!

 

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Cottage Cheese with prawns

I love prawns so got the Marks and Spencers Cottage Cheese with prawns because it also has my favourite Marie Rose dressing in the ingredients.

I paired it with Warburtons potato cakes and they went well together.

The cottage cheese has a distinct taste which tastes just like fromage frais so overall it was nice.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Made without Dairy Greek Style Pot

I was just curious how a Greek style soy yoghurt would taste so I got the Marks and Spencers Made without Dairy Greek Style Pot.

The soy yoghurt was quite thick just like Greek yoghurt, as for the taste the soy was really strong so it really depends if you like the taste of soy beans.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers NEW Italian Mozzarella cherries

A while ago I spotted the Marks and Spencers NEW Italian Mozzarella cherries which I suspected was just the Mozzarella balls in one of their other products and indeed it was.

The Mozzarella cherries are convenient and easier to prepare because they are made into balls so you don't have to scoop it from the big Mozzarella ball.

The balls were just as good and they were creamy and delicious.

They were delicious paired with simple cherry tomatoes and fresh basil leaves.

[Review] Mieszko śliwka w czekoladzie - Plum chocolates

The Mieszko śliwka w czekoladzie was another delicious gem I found in the Polish supermarket.
It was candied plum covered in chocolate.
I loved the way you get a big chunk of plum covered in chocolate and it was not too sweet.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Egg Noodles

I just fancied some Egg noodles so got the Marks and Spencers Egg Noodles.

According to the sleeve, the egg noodles come with beansprouts and seasoned with soy sauce and sesame oil.

The soy seasoning is very light which make the noodles good for accompanying curries or stir fry so you can add other sauces to it.

I decided to stir fry the noodles with black beans and quorn and it came out nicely.

The best thing is that the beansprouts are at the bottom of the box so if you don't like them you don't have to spend time separating them.

[Review] Quorn mince

As I always dine out, many dishes that I've ordered have Quorn mince but I have never cooked it myself so I decided to get myself a bag and try.

The first time I cooked it was stir frying it with noodles and the texture was a bit dry so it tastes the best cooked in sauce like bolognese which I am going to do next.

Ended up making Katsu Quorn curry with freshly foraged chestnuts which tasted good.

[Review] Quorn Smoky ham free Slices

A while ago I got the Vegan Smoky Ham & CheeZe Toastie from Costa which was really delicious so when I saw Quorn ham slices at the supermarket I got some.

Just like the Costa toastie, it tasted great in sandwiches and toast because it really tastes like regular ham.

As well as Quorn slices, I hope to get hold of the Quorn Picnic Eggs and Quorn Fishless Fillets Salt And Vinegar which you will only probably at the bigger supermarkets.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Made without wheat Gluten free - Free Range Egg & Watercress sandwich

As with all gluten free and wheat free I find that the pastry does not hold well.

This time I got the Marks and Spencers Made without wheat Gluten free - Free Range Egg & Watercress sandwich and forgot that it was wheat free because I just felt like some egg and watercress.

Taking the sandwich out I noticed how fragile and dry the sandwich was, it was literally crumbling as I ate.

Apart from the bread, the egg and watercress was the usual fare.
