Heinz Beanz Curry

Great colouful design but unfortunately I didn't like the taste because it was just sweet, sweet and sweet and the curry flavour was lacking.

Heinz Five Beanz

BEANZ FOR GROWN UPZ!!!

The Heinz Five Beanz are basically the same as the original beans but they contain fives different types of beans in a can for more protein.

It contains a delicious mix of haricot, red kidney, pinto, cannellini and borlotti beans.

I found them tasting the same as the original but the bigger beans were harder and starchier in texture.

Tinned fishes from Russia with love

Got these tinned fishes from a friend to went who Russia.

Finally tried them with croissants. On their own, they taste slightly salty but the texture is excellent because they are extremely soft whereas other tinned products are hard.

Piacelli cherry compote

I got them because I love cherries, but I was really annoyed I could not unscrew the lid!
(In the end I had to get someone else to open it!)
This is an Italian product called Piacelli cherry compote.
I couldn't quite understand why it was called compote because the liquid was not really syrup, it was natural cherry juice which I drank as well.
Each cherry was plump,  juicy just like a fresh cherry but softer.

As well as cherries, they have peaches, plums and apricots in this series.

Fried mackerel fillets with black beans and chilli

Fried mackerel fillets with black beans and chili by Red Marubean Brand

Tried these tinned mackerel fillets because they had black beans and chili with some bread.
The texture of these fillets were quite hard because of the tinned effect but tasted quite nice because of the black beans, however the chili was too spicy.

Tulip pork luncheon meat

Fatter and greasier version of Denmark's Tulip brand chopped ham

It was much softer than the chopped ham version.

Ham by Maling!

Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another product from China!
But it is produced in Czech.




Anyway, the ham was very mushy in texture, slightly sour.
There was lots of jelly surrounding the ham in the tin.
Curry, Kung Pao and Sichuan pork! Also pork knuckles!! The English on the picture does not make sense because the English on the website is wrong! www.maling.cz

Denmark's Tulip brand chopped ham

Not the ham I was expecting, it was just fatty luncheon meat.
I wish the supermarket would import more international stuff!

French escargots with shells!! 蝸牛 and 管裝田螺

If it was not for the snail shells I would not have walked over to have a look!
I really liked the concept of the shells being sold with the escargots.
Anyway, I did'nt look at the Chinese labelling until I transferred the pictures to my PC.
It was interesting that both the same products are labelled using different terms that mean the same thing!
Field snails and Snails!
蝸牛 and 管裝田螺
Why isnt it Escargots and Escargots with Shells!

蝸牛 and 管裝田螺

Heinz canned Macaroni and Cheese

Had a Mac n Cheese craving, so got the Heinz one.
The canned version is runnier than the real thing.
The macaroni was soft but the sauce was really nice, you could taste strong cheddar with some bitter aftertaste.
The cheese sauce is similar to processed cheese but in runny form.

Treacle sponge pudding and custard straight from the can!

I love treacle pudding, so got the canned one from Heinz and canned Ambrosia custard.

After microwaving it, the pudding was delicious although slightly too sweet.
