As I haven't had one for ages, I got the Marks and Spencers Caramel Dessert which was comfortingly delicious.
It was smooth egg custard floating on top of liquid caramel.
Basically a must try if you haven't tried it.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Caramel Dessert
The Caramel Dessert ( Creme Caramel ) is another one of those desserts that I was brought up with but never really posted any photos on it.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Chunky Chicken & Chorizo Soup
I had second thoughts on whether to buy this soup or not but decided to get it anyway.
To be honest, the Marks and Spencers Chunky Chicken & Chorizo Soup surprised me because the chicken chunks were tender and the Ariete rice in the soup reminded me of Southern gumbo soup.
Overall, the soup was really filling but it was a bit too salty.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Singapore Noodles
The Chinese range at Marks and Spencers is just amazing, you will find everything ranging from black bean beef, spare ribs, sweet and sour to Singapore Noodles.
Previously tried the Aromatic Duck which was fantastic so this time I am trying the Singapore Noodles as well as the Lemon Chicken.
The Singapore noodles are fine rice noodles with chargrilled chicken , pork , prawns in a spicy coconut & tamarind sauce.
If you remove the sleeve and take a peak, you can see that there is so much meat as well as noodles.
As for the taste I felt that it was a bit different to the ones you get at the takeaways mainly because of the coconut and tamarind sauce which makes it slightly refreshing with a Thai twist.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Made without wheat Gluten Free Bacon & Cheese Puff Pastry Tarts
Spotted these puff pastry tarts which are similar to quiche except the pastry has been replaced with puff pastry.
I got the Marks and Spencers Made without wheat Gluten Free Bacon & Cheese Puff Pastry Tarts which I enjoyed because they felt much lighter than a quiche.
The filling contained potatoes, maple cured smoked bacon and extra mature cheddar cheese in a creme frache sauce topped with bacon lardons.

[Review] Aldi Holly Lane Hazelnut Crispy Squares
To be honest, I was specifically at Aldi to get the Rhubarb Custard crumble tarts but stumbled upon these Holly Lane Hazelnut Crispy Squares.
They also had the chocolate & Marshmallow crunch which I would have also liked because of the Marshmallow but I guess the pink put me off.
Priced at 1.69 they were not cheap but if it is good then it would be a nice treat I got from Aldi and not a bargain.
To my surprise these hazelnut crispy squares were actually delicious.
The hazelnut, caramel and chocolate on the chewy crispies actually worked.
As they were quite sweet, I've actually cut the pieces in to four so that I can nibble on them when I want.
Putting them in the fridge make them extra chewy and less sweet :)
Unfortunately, the smaller pieces were quite addictive so you end up eating more.

[Review] Aldi Holly Lane Rhubarb custard crumbles
Recently snackschats reviewed these Rhubarb custard crumbles which seemed worthy of trying so I made a special trip to Aldi for them.
Again I was bowled over by another Aldi product Thanks to @snackschat
This Rhubarb & Custard crumble was amazing, the pastry was light and soft topped with fine crumbles.
The star of the show had to be the filling, there were chunks of rhubarb and a thin layer of yellow custard.
Although it wasn't as tart as I hoped, it was still nice but the rhubarb chunks were a bit woody on the first tart, custard wasn't that visible.
On my second tart, you could visibly see more custard.
Definitely worth trying because it is hard finding anything with real chunks of rhubarb in it.
Just as snackschat said this gives you more satisfaction than your ordinary Kiplings.

Also had it with some custard and it tasted fantastic.

[Review] Sabra Mezze Houmous Extra
The competition for houmous is fierce these days with every supermarket having their own range of houmous in different flavours.
As I haven't tried the Sabra Houmous I decided to review it.
My first impressions was that the tub was nice but the contents looked thick inside.
According to the label, it is a smooth, rich and decadent. Sabra Houmous Extra is topped with pine nuts and Olive Oil and contains extra whole chickpeas at the bottom for the most authentic tasting houmous available.
After trying it, I was quite impressed because it tasted like the houmous you get at restaurant where it is thick and creamy.
The pine nuts and whole chickpeas are what makes it special.
