Tunnock's is a famous brand that has been around since the 1890s with well known treats like the caramel wafers and teacakes.
The treats are wrapped in a signature metallic foil paper wrap.
The caramel wafers are deliciously chewy while the teacakes are filled with marshmallow.
Tried Tunnock's Caramel log which is just the caramel wafer coated in roast coconut.
Overall, I would definitely recommended it if you love chewy caramel and aromatic coconut.
#burtonsfishnchips a 1980s snacks which I have no recollection of at all.
They taste like crumbly light ritz biscuits with a salt and vinegar flavour.
It wasn't as salty as anticipated but there is a sweet aftertaste.
An Arctic roll is a British dessert made of vanilla ice cream wrapped in a thin layer of sponge cake to form a roll, with a layer of raspberry flavoured sauce between the sponge and the ice cream.
It was invented by Dr. Ernest Velden, an immigrant from the Czechoslovakia who set up a factory at Lottbridge Drove, Eastbourne in 1968. to cope with popular demand.
However, it was discontinued by Birds Eye in the 1990s due to the lack of demand.
The Arctic roll made a return in 2008 due to the economic downturn where consumers were looking for low cost foods.
To be honest, I have tried other brands before but Birds Eye has to be the best.
The roll is best eaten about 5 minutes after it is taken out of the freezer because the texture of the ice cream and roll is soft.
Everything was in perfect harmony as the thin layer of sweet raspberry jam worked with the vanilla ice cream and sponge which was not too sweet.
The combination of ice cream and sponge cake was just delicious!
Founded in 1875, Charbonnel et Walker is one of Britain's earliest chocolatiers. Encouraged by Edward VII, (then the Prince of Wales), the company first formed as a partnership between Mrs Walker and Madame. Charbonnel hence the name Charbonnel et Walker.
They are endorsed by the Royal Warrant as one of the few chocolatiers to Her Majesty The Queen where iconic customers have included Princess Diana and Princess Margaret.
The chocolates are hand-made to the traditional recipes of Madame Charbonnel. Their renowned dark chocolate is made from the finest dark couverture which results in a decadently rich taste.
Other chocolates in the range are really tempting.
These are British inexpensive corn and wheat snacks by KP Snacks in a shape of an Alien's head.
The pickled onion flavour tastes a bit my monster munch but the crunch is much harder.
After finishing the crisps, I decided to have fun shrinking them in the oven like I used to as a kid.
As a food lover, I found out about Cheeky Boy Sauces from Instagram and was honoured to try their tantalizing saucy sauces.
Cheeky Boy Sauces are independent producers of a range of fresh tasting, delicious, all natural sauces and dips created by an adventurer and a food lover, and are beautifully made in Britain.[quoted from their website.]
At the moment they have three stylish sauces:
HRH sauce, L!MEY and Berlin49.
For more details and pairings please see:
http://cheekyboysauces.com/sauces/
Having tried all three, I loved them because they are different and complex.
+++++++++
To summarize HRH sauce is gingery.
I felt that it paired well with Asian food especially Hainan chicken because you normally get ginger puree sauce with it and HRH is much better since it has more dimension to it.
It also paired well with my vegetarian soya patty burger.
+++++++++
L!MEY is very refreshingly limey and great pairing with greasy fatty meats like roast suckling pig!!!!
L!MEY at MongKok!!
+++++++++
Berlin49 was actually quite complex, there was a BBQ smell when you opened the bottle but when you actually taste it, there is a spicy curry kick followed by a fiery smokey chili aftertaste that lingers shortly.
It was definitely good paired with meats, fried stuff that has a flour or some form of coating that needs something strong and punchy.
You always get a sachet of sauce inside Potnoodle so it is definitely legit to add sauce to it.
I decided to be #cheeky and purposely chose Cheeky Boy Sauces' BERLIN49 for Bombay Bad Boy which made the curry taste more intense because the sauce has a smokey curry taste to it.
The sachet of hot sauce they give you in the pot noodles are mega hot so I advise trying it before putting it in.
As with all sauces, I believe you should try and see what it tastes like before using it for best results.
To be honest the cheese taste was a little different to what I was expecting but it tasted like the rind of Brie cheese.
Anyway, I love Pot Noodles however I wish they could change the lid material from foil because it gets pierced easily.
The lid some how got pierced on the way home so I don't know if that would have affected the taste of the Cheese.
If you are British, you will obviously know that jelly comes in jelly blocks before you make it.
In some other countries they come in powder form like Hartley's glitter jelly.
I decided to post this so that people can see the jelly block before it is made and I always ending eating some of it before making the jelly.
It comes in a packet like this:
When you remove the wrapper, there is a pretty jelly block that is firm and tough.
To make the jelly, it is best to cut them into squares cubes.
Obviously I ate some because some of the cubes have disappeared and they taste amazing just like that with a lovely strawberry fragrance and they are not too sweet!
You just simply add boiling water, let it dissolve and pour it into a container and let it set in the fridge for a few hours.
Here is the jelly that is ready.
It is slightly lighter in colour.
