Hungarian Parenyica cheese

Spotted this interesting rolled cheese so had to try it.
Parenyica cheese is a rolled cheese that is mild and has a smoky taste.
This wasn't the only brand but I chose this one.
The taste and texture was exactly the same as Strings & Things Cheestrings Cheese Snack that kids eat!!!
I used to think that it was an artificial cheese like American cheese slices but it gets its stringy texture from the protein alignment.
Overall, I am so glad I tried this Parenyica cheese which is moreish with a nice salty kick.
It was on the expensive side at £2.99 which I found out at when I was about to pay but then I don't have to fly to Hungary!

Monty's Lemon Cheesecake cheddar

Finally a sweet cheese that's not Wensleydale!!

Love the heart truckle so bought this to review.

The taste of this was interesting and definitely different to wensleydale which I consider it similar to cheesecake.

The texture was firm like cheddar and the taste gets you confused, its savoury cheddar and then you get lemon peel cutting through that is sweet but not the candy type of sweetness and the lemon rind taste is quite prominent.

Although named like the cheesecake, I'm glad its not as sweet and just sweet like a cheesecake with other flavours going on.

As well as lemon, they have apricot, chilli and lime.

Apricot, chilli and lime

Tesco Mature cheddar with oak smoked tomato and herbs

Spotted the Tesco Mature cheddar with oak smoked tomato and herbs so just had to get it.
It was seriously delicious cheddar with tomato and cheese.
Basically think of pizza and it also reminded me of those flavoured tomato cream cheeses!!
It tasted really good on its own, it was really moreish because of the sundried tomatoes and then you get the oregano.

Also tried it melted on toast but it tastes better just like that.

The texture of this cheese is rather creamy and soft until plain cheddar.

Robert burns night offerings at M&S Food and review

After missing out on Robert Burns night offerings last year at M&S Food I made a note and remembered this year!

The range includes a haggis cheese bake, neeps and tatties centrepiece, haggis scotch egg and haggis.

My picks were definitely the haggis cheese bake and the neeps and tatties but unfortunately the neeps and tatties portion was rather big.

It would be great if they made a ready meal version.

First things first, I bought the haggis cheese bake which went wonderfully well with oatcakes.

The instructions are to bake it in the oven but I found it quicker in the microwave for 40 seconds.

After indulging the haggis cheese bake, I got the neeps and tatties centre piece which I had over a few days and it was seriously worth it.

I cheated by heating it in the microwave, it just means you don't get a crispy top.

The whiskey gravy was a little heavy and sweet with the mustard seeds but overall it was delicious but even better with the M&S lamb gravy.

Although, I have already reviewed Haggis Scotch egg, the 2023 version was different because it was a soft set egg instead of a hard boiled one which took it to the next level.

ASDA Double Gloucester onion & chive

I admit I didn't open the truckle in a nice way but cor blimey the onions and chives are really strong!

Arrigoni Taleggio cheese expertly sourced by Marks Spencer

M&S have a great range of Italian dairy products like butter and cheese.

This time I tried the Arrigoni Taleggio cheese which is similar to brie.

Taleggio was really flavourful like brie when melted on pikelets which were soft and chewy with a nice crispy edge.

Rating: 4/5
