[Review] Aldi Plant Menu Masala Roast Cauliflower Sausages

I have always wanted to try some vegan/plant based sausages which are quite pricey.
Since Aldi offered the Plant Menu Masala Roast Cauliflower Sausages and they were affordable if not cheaper than other places, I decided to give them a try.
The sausage casing is like the real thing, but when it is cooked, the texture was a bit like rice paper.
The sausage filling was quite nice but the only thing that ruined it was that it was a bit too salty and sweet for my liking.






[Review] Lidl Deluxe Bloody Mary Olives

I love Olives, so got the Lidl Deluxe Bloody Mary Olives which were olives with a cocktail twist to it.
It was a nice idea but I thought the cocktail twist could have been stronger as the tomato and spiciness of Tabasco was not strong enough to make you associate the olives with bloody Mary.




[Review] Lidl Deluxe Butterscotch Mousse

Tried the Lidl Deluxe Butterscotch Mousse which turned out to be surprisingly nice.
The butterscotch mousse was light and fluffy without being too sweet or overwhelming in terms of aroma.

[Review] Lidl Classic Selection Triple Sandwiches

The last thing I would buy would be ready to eat sandwiches at Lidl because at full price they are not significantly cheaper than rivals.
Since it was reduced to 20p, I decided to give the Lidl Classic Selection Triple Sandwiches a go.

The reduction sticker was green and discreet which didn't make it look cheaper than it already is as a bargain brand so this was an advantage.

So 20p for three sandwiches was quite a deal.
In the box were: BLT, Chicken Salad and Prawn Mayo.
I was only interested in the prawn mayo so my brother had the rest.
The prawn mayo wasn't bad and it was more memorable and better than the prawn mayo sandwich at Co-op because there was a hint of black pepper in it.

[Review] Tesco Rhubarb and Custard Sundae

Tescos has a good range of products but the problem is, you can only find them at the larger stores which makes it difficult if you don't have a car or live near one.
I have always wanted to try the Tesco Rhubarb and Custard Sundae because custard and rhubarb are my favourites.

The sundae definitely fulfilled my expectations especially the custard which was presented in mousse form so it was light and fluffy.
It was quite a fattening dessert but worth trying, the only thing I would like see improved is the rhubarb because it wasn't tart at all.



April 2021: New look and now hand finished.




[Review] Pastificio G. Di Martino Tricolor Gnocchi

I love Gnocchi so got a packet of Pastificio G. Di Martino Tricolor Gnocchi because it looked colourful and cute.


Normally they are shaped like cocoons but these were small balls.

The gnocchi tasted delicious in a aubergine ratatouille sauce.
 Although, they tasted good, I failed to try the gnocchi on its own before I cooked them in sauce to see how they fared.

[Review] Morrisons Salad bar BBQ Jackfruit & Coleslaw

Finally tried jackfruit as a dish and not as a plain fruit.
Unripe jackfruit is a popular meat substitute in vegetarian dishes.
This was the bbq jackfruit from Morrison's but unfortunately I found the bbq sauce too sweet.
Other brands offer bbq jackfruit so will try them as well because I think it really depends on the bbq sauce.
Also tried the coleslaw from the Salad bar and didn't really like it as the sauce was too heavy.
