McVities Christmas Pudding and Gingerbread digestive biscuits review 2020

I was looking for the new festive Christmas Pudding and Gingerbread digestive biscuits at Co-op on my last visit and couldn't find them.

Went back again and discovered they were on the bottom corner of the shelf.

Why oh why did co-op have to put the new and exciting biscuits in an unnoticeable place.

A few weeks later, these new biscuits were at a better location and they had the McVities gingerbread digestives as well.

Ended up getting both.

According to the comments, the Christmas pudding is better so I tried that first.

You get the typical taste of chocolate digestives followed by spices.

As for the gingerbread digestive, there wasn't much gingerbread taste which was disappointing.

The ginger taste was so light that you had to concentrate your senses to taste it.

Overall, I am glad I tried but at a reduced price because they were not worth the hype at full price.

[Review] Morrisons' VE Day Veterans Pie

Morrisons ‘Veterans Pie’ makes a comeback to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of VE Day
The ‘Veterans Pie’, created by ex-servicemen from a famous Armed Forces recipe, made its return to Morrisons stores across the country to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of VE Day (May 8th).

The campaign which was initially launched last year to celebrate Armed Forces Week, made a comeback, thanks to Morrisons’ ongoing support for the Armed Forces Community, and their customers were once again given the opportunity to eat like a soldier.

Each pie was sold for 75p to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of VE Day, with £10,000 of the sales donated to Walking With The Wounded to support those who served.

I was glad I managed to get the Veterans Pie at Morrisons because it was really delicious and to be honest it tastes better than the other pies at Morrisons!
There is something special about the gravy and the same with all Morrisons pies, the crust is imprinted with VETERANS PIE and 75 YEARS which gives it that special touch!

Matcha seafood flavor cup noodles

I was really excited with the Matcha seafood flavor cup noodles because Matcha is such a common flavour that is used everywhere.

The design was also attractive, there is so much detail on it from Mount Fuji, a drome with a face on it carrying a lantern, a cute fortune cat, a geisha, a train at the bottom and lots more.

At the back, it has the usual ingredients and there is a picture of a row of capsule machines.

When you peel back the lid, you will see the usual contents found in a seafood cup noodle such as egg bits, octopus slices, cabbage, carrots and spring onions.

The only thing different is that the broth powder is green and the noodles are green.

After adding hot water it was ready to eat but I couldn't quite taste the matcha.

Minions seafood flavor cup noodles

Got this from someone who went to Universal Studios in Japan.
Apparently they come in a box of four.

On the labelling it actually says MINI MENS and you will notice there is a banana after the word Noodle.

More photos of the cup noodle.

When you peel back the lid, there is a smell of banana which smells the same as the sweets Banana Chews.

There are bits of egg and Minions.
They basically taste the same as the usual Nissin Seafood noodles with an interesting aftertaste of those Banana chews. The noodles are very silky as well.

Overall, they were quite nice and the banana wasn't that off putting.
