[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers West Country Luxury Apple Crumble Yogurt

The Marks and Spencers West Country Luxury Yoghurt series is fabulous.

There are so many flavours like Strawberries and cream, lemon curd but the three that I had to try were Rhubarb Custard, Apple Crumble and Peach Melba.

This time I tried the Marks and Spencers West Country Luxury Apple Crumble Yoghurt.
The yoghurt was simply delicious and comforting as the piece of apple were sweet and crisp while there were some soft oat bits and Cinnamon in the yoghurt that give it the extra special touch.

Also tried the Marks and Spencers West Country Luxury Rhubarb & Custard Yoghurt which is really worth trying.





[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Passion Fruit Swiss Roll

I love Swiss rolls especially fresh cream Swiss Rolls.
The usual fillings are strawberry jam or raspberry but Marks and Spencer has two enticing ones which are chocolate and Passion Fruit.
The Marks and Spencers Passion Fruit Swiss Roll is visually pretty with orange lines which makes it really stand out from the dessert cabinet.

The Swiss Roll serves 6 but I thought that it serves 4 because I can't get enough of it.

I couldn't believe how delicious this passion fruit Swiss roll was.
The passion fruit sauce was really refreshing all the way through with the light sponge and fluffy cream.

Although I really want to get this again, I am hoping to try the chocolate Swiss Roll as well.









[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Count on US Chocolate Mousse

I have never counted the calories I eat but since I was in the mood for chocolate mousse I got the Marks and Spencers Count on US Chocolate Mousse.
To be honest, it tasted sinfully delicious because the mousse was so light yet the chocolate was intense that you would not suspect it was only a few calories.

The only improvement would be the packaging because the plastic cup is too thin so when you have it knocked about in your shopping bag, the air between the mousse and lid expands when the cup has pressure applied bursting the seal to open.
I discovered that the lid was not sealed when I got home but I don't whether the seal was already broken already at the shop or broke when I was carrying it home.




As well as the pots, they also do the pack of 4 version.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Chunky Thai Chicken Soup

I felt like having some soup that evening so contemplated whether or not to buy the Marks and Spencers Chunky Thai Chicken Soup.
The thing that was stopping me was the lemongrass because I'm not fond of it.
Anyway, ended up getting it.

Overall, the soup isn't bad but for someone that is not fond of lemongrass, having a small portion is good enough.
There was a nice crunch in the soup from the water chestnuts while the ginger and turmeric helped distract me from the lemongrass.
Other ingredients in the soup include rice, coconut cream and lime which I could not taste.

To summarize, the soup was different and I am glad I tried it so next time I will try another soup from the range.



[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Peas, Spinach, Spring Greens & Samphire

I have tried Samphire before at restaurants but you don't often see it at supermarkets so when I saw Marks and Spencers Peas, Spinach, Spring Greens & Samphire vegetable pack I decided to get it.
It is designed to be ready in 3.5 minute by the microwave which comes with a sachet of Lemon and mint sauce.




After putting it in the microwave, it was ready to eat and everything was tasty especially my favourite samphire and spinach while the peas gave it a slight sweetness.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers 10 Dinky Melton Mowbray Pork Pies

There is a good variety of Melton Mowbray pork pies at Marks and Spencers but size matters especially the Dinky Melton Mowbray pork pies because they are small and cute.

According to wiki:
It is a traditional British meat pie, usually served at room temperature. It consists of a filling of roughly chopped pork and pork fat, surrounded by a layer of jellied pork stock in a hot water crust pastry. It is normally eaten as a snack or with a salad.

As soon as I got home, I tried them.
There are 10 in the box but strangely one of them lost its pie top but the rest were good though.
I liked the soft pastry while the filling is firm because it is chopped pork.
Overall, I am glad I tried them and the dinky size makes them moreish.

[Review] McVities Digestives Cherry Bakewell

Earlier this year, McVities launched an iconic range for their chocolate covered digestive biscuits,
In the range was Marmalade on Toast, Cherry Bakewell and Strawberries and Cream.
Morrisons was the first to stock them at GBP1.50 per pack which was later reduced to GBP1.00.

Evidently, the Cherry Bakewell is a popular pick!!!

Now Sainsburys have the full range as well as the new McVities slices which I was keen to try but sadly they didn't have it which was why I ended up getting the digestives.

As soon as I got home, I opened it to try.
There was an artificial cherry smell but it wasn't bad.
As for the taste, the cherry taste wasn't strong when the artificial cherry smell lingered in your mouth when you ate it.
Overall, not bad and I expect the marmalade one to just taste like chocolate orange.
Other tempting digestives in the range:
