Also tried the Bombay Aloo from Waitrose and it failed to impress as well.

[Review] Waitrose Aloo Gobi Saag
I love curries so decided to try the Aloo Gobi Saag from Waitrose to see how it compares to M&S.
Sadly it was shockingly bland and watery.

[Review] Lidl Milbona Rhubarb Crumble
As I had some cream and custard in the fridge, I decided to go to Lidl to see if there were any desserts to finish it off.
Spotted the sponge puddings and crumbles which are on special offer so got the syrup sponge pudding and the rhubarb crumble.
I used the self checkout but for unfortunately the crumble came up as full price on the till so I told the guy about it who was not helpful because he just cancelled the item and did not resolve the price problem so I had to waste some extra time queuing at the regular tills for just two items.
When I took them out for photos, I was quite surprised they were half filled compared to Waitrose and M&S where they are filled almost to the top.
The Lidl version of rhubarb crumble is tangy rhubarb filling topped with a crisp butter enriched oat crumble.
After heating it in the microwave, I dug my spoon in it to get a photo before putting cream on top, the colour of the rhubarb was quite nice and you can see big chunks.
The good thing about these half filled crumbles is that I fill it with cream and custard which saves washing a bowl.
Apart from the quantity, the Lidl Milbona Rhubarb Crumble was actually really good especially the rhubarb which was tangy and not too sweet.
The rhubarb pieces were not woody like some brands.
Overall, I was really impressed with this Rhubarb Crumble and would love to have it again.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencer Pesto Houmous Swirl
Houmous/Hummus is getting fancy these days, there are so many different flavours.
My current favourite is the sundried tomato hummus from Morrisons which has a lovely moreish taste because of the strong flavours from the sundried tomatoes.
At M&S, I spotted the Pesto Houmous Swirl which is visually appealing.
The taste was amazing, it was delicious houmous with prominent basil from the pesto.
Definitely a worth trying because it has this nice Italian kick to it.

[Review] Iceland Cones Mint Choc Chip
As a foodie, I love trying different brands of ice creams, this time I got Iceland Cones Mint Choc Chip.
The design was simple and attractive and I like the cute chocolate chips on the ice cream but the description "decorated with chocolate flakes" is somewhat confusing because the ones in the picture are clearly chocolate chips.
Anyway, the ice cream looked just like the product shot so it was good.
Having had a bad experience with Iceland's Belgian Chocolate Mint Majestics, I didn't have any expectations for this.
To my surprise, they were really good.
The mint icecream had a weak mint taste but I loved the equal mix of chocolate icecream and mint icecream together which make it tasty.
The amount of chocolate chips are just right so that the icecream overall isn't too sweet.

[Review] Morrisons Vegan Sausage Rolls
The game is on for vegan sausage rolls and Morrisons has it as well.
So far I have tried Greggs, Couglans, M&S for vegan sausage roll and it is sad to say as a M&S and Morrisons are the bottom two.
Launched last year, some reviewers have said it was bland and a year later it is still bland.
To summarize the sausage meat was tasteless and if you look at the pictures, there is more ratio of pastry to sausage meat.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencer Clotted Cream Rice Pudding with Nutmeg
Rice pudding is one of my favourite desserts at school, so when I saw this I had to get it.
Being Marks and Spencer's rice pudding, they use clotted cream instead of milk which adds to the taste but quite fattening as well.
There are two slightly different offerings of rice pudding at M&S, the 2 Clotted Cream Rice Puddings or this big one which has nutmeg.
Clotted cream has this heavenly taste which tastes like heavy whipped cream with a buttery taste.
It can be eaten hot or cold but I prefer it cold because it tastes nicer.
The rice pudding was creamy with al dente translucent rice in it spiced by the nutmeg.
After finishing the pudding, there is still a lovely milky creamy aroma in the mouth.

The rice pudding had a lumpy surface and curdling skin which is normal.
