M&S Hot Cross Bun cake

I'm not a hot cross bun fan but love cakes and this was delicious.
It tasted like a carrot cake with the spices, diced candied peel and sultanas.
Texture was good being soft, firm with a slight stickiness.






Guylian the original seashells

Labelled as chocolate with hazelnut praline filling.
Guylian is a Belgian brand of chocolate which is interestingly popular with the Chinese so I used to think it was a Chinese brand because the name somehow feels Chinese.
Overall, I am not a fan of their chocolates but the hazelnut filling in the middle was superb.



Dr.Will's All classic mayo sugar free

I love mayonnaise so much that I have it with chips etc.
However I didn't know it contained sugar until I recently tried Dr Wills because mayo never tasted sweet.
Visually rather warm yellow, the mayo was sharp and creamy which a taste like salad cream minus the sweetness and the consistently was also like salad.
Definitely another mayo on my favourite list that is healthy.




Just for fun, I mixed it with Nortindal cuttlefish ink to make squid ink mayo.


357 Mad Dog hot sauce - 750,000 scoville

The 357 Mad Dog hot sauce was inside someones fridge so I thought I'd give it a try.
I only tried a pin prick amount and it was so hot that it resonates in the whole of your mouth let alone if I had swallowed it!!
To be honest, the spiciness felt more like a chemical burn.
 






GU Hazelnut and chocolate velvety spread

GU are famous for pudding so their chocolate spreads got me curious!
To be honest, I was bowled over by how decadent they were and it tasted even better than nutella.




M&S Strawberry & White Chocolate crunch granola

I am not really a granola fan because of the sweetness but it is always good to see big dehydrated strawberry slices and chunks of white chocolate.





Stockholm Organic Sea Buckthorn juice

I have always wanted to try sea buckthorn juice as I haven't tried it before.
When I finally got it, I was surprised that there was oil floating on the top which is normal.
It was just fascinating how a berry (plant) can have oil.
Anyway, the juice was quite thick and strong, it tasted like concentrated orange juice but had a sharper tone without the citrus element and it was slightly bitter.
As for the oil, it explains why you get skincare made with sea buckthorn because of the oil.
Overall, I am glad I tried this drink.
