[Review] Charlie Bigham's Steak & Ale Pie

While I was at Waitrose, I discovered Charlie Bigham's Steak & Ale Pie because of the stylish box it was in.
It had a flip lid with an intro about their pies and the illustration was nice like a story book.
Anyway, decided to give them a go and got two because as a foodie, I didn't fancy sharing it.

The pastry was light and flakey when it was baked.

You could literally hear the pastry crack when I put my fork in it and the gravy simply flowed out and I didn't expect that which was a big surprise!

Listen to the video with sound on!!

As well as the top notch pastry, the filling was amazing especially the pieces of steak which are lean and tender.
The amount gravy inside was another wow factor!

Will definitely try their other pies soon.

[Review] Cornetto Mermaid Raspberry & Matcha Ice Cream Cone

I was captivated by the new Cornetto Mermaid Raspberry & Matcha Ice Cream Cone at Tescos for 1.55 so I got it.
[Update July 31/07/2020 you can also get these at Poundland now and I was so chuffed Poundland on Instagram reposted one of my pictures]
The ice cream cone is wrapped in a holographic pink and blue wrapper which is designed to look like mermaid scales.
To be honest, it did not look holographic.

Cornetto Mermaid Raspberry & Matcha Ice Cream Cone

According to the internet , there are two versions, the one featured on Cornetto's website is Raspberry & Vanilla while the one at Tesco is Raspberry & Matcha.

The one I got was the Raspberry & Matcha.
First impressions, the candies were a bit too big and looked out of proportion according to the picture and the silver candy balls were white and not silver.

As for the taste, it was interesting because the raspberry and matcha were prominent independently so sometimes you would taste the raspberry and sometimes the bitterness of the matcha.

[Review] Morrisons Peach & Raspberry Ice Cream Rainbow Cones

I was captivated by the pretty rainbow on the box for the Morrisons Peach & Raspberry Ice Cream Cones.
Inside, you will find four cones wrapped in gold foil.
The peach isn't that prominent to begin with but the raspberry was refreshing and it tasted like raspberry ripple ice cream as the raspberry sauce goes right down to the bottom.
The cone is crispy and thin with a light chocolate coating.
Overall, it was a nice change from your usual flavours but being a foodie I rarely buy the same things again even though it is good.

[Review] Richmond 8 Meat Free Sausages

Ask any vegan for sausage recommendations and more than 60% will tell you that Richmond is good.

I finally got my hands on them so I was super excited in trying.
After grilling them, they were ready to eat.
The texture was almost the same as meat sausages but without those annoying chewy and squidgy bits.
As for the taste, it did not let me down as it tasted like proper sausage with the full seasoning so I am definitely getting this again.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Victoria Sandwich Cake

Marks and Spencers Victoria Sandwich Cake is another delicious classic which is an all butter sponge filled with fruity strawberry jam and delicious Madagascan vanilla buttercream and finished with a light dusting of icing sugar.
The butter sponge was rich and dense which gives you that satisfying cake feeling.
Adding some M&S pink gin cream takes it to another level.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Red Velvet Cake

I love red velvet cakes so decided to try Marks and Spencers Red Velvet Cake which is smothered in frosting.
A while ago I tried Tesco finest Red Velvet which did not impress so I didn't have any expectations for this one.
To my surprise, I knew it was good from the moment I put my knife in it because the texture of the cake had the right softness.
The cake was just so moreish that I demolished half in one go because it was moist and springy without being too firm with a hint of cocoa in the taste.
