La Fermière marron

The chestnut yoghurt was contained in a pretty glass jar and at the bottom there was a thin layer of chestnut puree.


The yoghurt had a lovely tart taste while the sweet starchy chestnut puree at the bottom balanced the tartness of the yoghurt.
It had nice tones of vanilla with visible vanilla seeds in it.

Some of the desserts in the range are contained in pretty ceramic jars such as the creme delice series.

Casino Saint-Marcellin cheese

Again, I should have googled this cheese before consuming it because the runniness of the cheese increases with age and this answers why there are holes in the packaging!

The texture was similar to camembert but not as strong, however it was lovely and creamy.
Its packaging reminded me of a huge contact lenses case!

Saint-Marcellin is a soft French cheese made from cow's milk. Named after the small town of Saint-Marcellin (Isère), it is produced in a geographical area corresponding to part of the former Dauphiné province (now included in the Rhône-Alpes région). It is generally small in size, weighing about 80 grams (50% fat), with a mottled creamy-white exterior. The degree of runniness increases with age as the exterior gains blue, then yellow, hues within two to three weeks after production.







Casino Clafoutis cerises

Clafoutis is a baked French dessert of black cherries arranged in a buttered dish and covered with a thick flan-like batter. The clafoutis is dusted with powdered sugar and served lukewarm.

Before I found this info from the internet I did not know it was served warm so I ate it straight from the fridge.
Now it seems to make sense that it is in a foil dish!
It would have probably tasted nicer sweet! What a waste!

Casino ile flottante - Floating island

A floating island is a French dessert consisting of meringue floating on crème anglaise (a vanilla custard). The meringues are prepared from whipped egg whites, sugar and vanilla extract then quickly poached. The crème anglaise is prepared with the egg yolks, vanilla, and hot milk, briefly cooked.

Casino had this dessert and it was ready to eat as well!
This is the first time I have seen moist egg whites as a packaged dessert.

Basically it was egg white on top of vanilla cream, there was a sachet of syrup/caramel sauce but I did not need it because the dessert was sweet enough already.

The egg whites were nice and foamy and went well with the vanilla cream which was nice and runny.







Casino : Crème-dessert parfum caramel

Got this canned caramel dessert by Casino.
The size was quite big compared to the British canned desserts such as Ambrosia.

Anyway it tasted just like custard with a strong caramel flavour and it was quite sweet as well.
The other flavors were chocolate and vanilla.

Casino : Barres Cereales - Chocolat Au Lait & Noix De Coco

A cereal bar from a French supermarket Casino.

It is milk chocolate and coconut.

Compared to other cereal bars I have had, I found this one really soft but it could be due to the fact  I tried it in the summer.

It tasted exactly the same as a BOUNTY bar but with less coconut and it was crispier due to the cereal.

Casino : Soupe de Poisson

I was only able to find this fish soup in the 1L size unlike their other soup flavours which come in 250ml sizes ( the size of the usual carton drinks).

The colour of this soup was dark burgandy red and there was so much fish fibres in it.
Very fishy like lobster bisque and prawn.

Other soups that I would like to try: Velouté Epinards et Artichauts (artichoke soup)

Montero Coco.France Goose Liver pate

Was given this from someone who went to Vietnam.

Although  I like pate, I delayed in trying it because I thought it would be really dense but when I opened it, I s surprised it was very light and soft.
The pate was very moist too.
However it lacked the velvety texture of goose liver pates and it was similar to baby food in thick form.
There was also pieces of wheat in the pate but I could not see that listed in the ingredients.
