Sea Sisters Cannery x Poon's London - Welsh Cockles in Extraordinary Chilli Oil

Sea Sisters are specialists in preserving British seafood that are in season.

I was acquainted with their seafood at some food expo, they immediately caught my eyes because of the colourful paper wrapping on the tins.

For International Women's Day, they made a special conservas of Welsh cockles with Poon's aromatic chilli oil infused with salted black beans.

There was mussels as well which is sold out but a new Whelk one will be coming out soon.

The chilli cockles are seriously good especially on crispy ciabatta which soaks up the sauce.

You get that fiery chilli and then black beans which is a match made in heaven with the cockles.

I think they would go well tossed in pasta Vongole style but not on soup noodles where they get lost and diluted.

Definitely would get these again as they so moreish and something different to cockles in vinegar with salt and pepper.

Looking forward to trying the whelks when they are launched.

Golden Wonder chippies Salt and Vinegar.
Lots of vinegar punch in every stick.
Yum.
The bag is well filled too.

Heinz fish and chip sauce

Made with dill, parsley and gherkins.
Nice dill flavours coming through but it was on the sweet side just like the rest of the Heinz range.
My favourite sauce so far is still the heinz tomato pickle.

Sainsburys feta, spinach, pea crustless quiche

I love sharp feta and juicy peas but this quiche wasn't as nice as I hoped.
Strangely sweet and lacked some umami and sharpness from the feta.
The description looks like feta is a main ingredient but ricotta is 7% when feta is 5%.

I feel that I have been scammed from the description and ingredients label.

Sainsburys cherry bakewell scones

Finally a flavour I have always dreamed of.
Visually its intriguing because of the granulated sugar.
Again, no physical almonds or almond flavouring in the ingredients label but you can really smell a cherry bakewell aroma when you open that packet.
Definitely strong bakewell vibes in taste and smell with lots of juice plump sour cherries.
The smell is a little artificial but forgiveable, the only thing I didn't like was that granulated sugar crunch.
It would have been nice if it had an almond powder dusting instead of sugar.

Rowntree's Jelly-Tastic Mini Egg Bar

Rowntree's Jelly-Tastic Mini Egg Bar

Bought this for fun and it turned out quite nice but not enough jellies per chocolate piece.

Mostly found blackcurrant ones.

The chocolate was really nice like galaxy and the jellies had a really nice tough chew to them.

There were a few orange ones which made it taste like nice chocolate orange.

Isolated two of the gummies just to see what shape they were for fun.

Kaymak, Turkish clotted cream!!

There are so many brands, packed in tubs or can.
I got the Istanbul Taze Rulo Kaymak because it is a pretty roll of clotted cream.
Had it with Christmas pudding which was quite nice.

Melis kaymak clotted cream.

Just trying another brand of kaymak.

The texture is not sticky or gooey like English clotted cream.

Free seafood scoops from Kraken Rum

Kraken Rum, an alcoholic beverage did a tour giving out free sea scoops.

I got my hands on one at Battersea as well as the Kraken rum cola.

It is literally what the menu says, ie taramasalata in a cone topped with caviar and a piece of monster munch.
