[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Trout filets in Watercress sauce

I love watercress sauce so ended up getting the trout fillets in watercress sauce from M&S.
The sauce is made of creme fraiche, watercress, double cream and white wine sauce with spinach.
It was interesting because when I spotted it, there were some other shoppers looking at it but were put off by the green colour.
Inevitably, it is difficult making it presentable because the sauce is all over the fish by the time you get home.
I think if the sauce was separate then you could layer the sauce on the base and then the trout on top before putting it in he oven.
Overall, I thought it was delicious because the creamy sauce was delish with lots of spinach in it and the trout was delicate.








[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Brussels Pate with redcurrant, port & cranberry topping

I only got the Marks and Spencers Brussels Pate with redcurrant, port & cranberry topping because it was reduced.

It was only 45p and you get a ceramic dish but even at full price 1.25, it's not expensive.

The only problem was getting it out of the vacuumed sealed plastic which was hard and there was lots of liquid in between the dish and the plastic which made it hard.

As for the taste, it was your usual Brussels Pate but it was quite sweet with the layer of redcurrant and cranberry jelly.

Overall, not bad.








Sainsburys Plant Pioneers Smoky Vacon Rashers review

A while ago I got these Sainsburys Plant Pioneers Smoky Vacon Rashers which are vegan rashers made with wheat gluten, coconut milk and natural flavourings in a smoked paprika coating.

The appearance was a bit strange because of the dull burgandy colour.

After pan frying them, the texture was hard and crispy.

Overall, I wasn't really fond of them because they were a bit artificial but dipping it in blue cheese sauce helped or putting it in stews made it taste nicer.

Hot cross buns:
Toffee, chocolate orange, apple and cinnamon, St Clements and fruited.
Ended up getting the toffee hot cross buns which were ok, however the texture was denser than other brands.








Sainsburys Strawberry Jam & Cream doughnuts

I love cream donuts so this time I got Sainsburys Strawberry Jam & Cream doughnuts which has strawberry jam and fluffy sweetened cream.
They were simple yet extremely delicious because the donut was pillowy and a bit like bread without any rancid flavours.
Overall, it was so delicious with the fluffy sweetened cream and jam that I ended up eating two in one go.
