[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers chip shop scraps

Earlier this month M&S launched a good deal of Fish and Chip shop items like beer battered cod, battered scallops, Haddock kiev, lightly dusted seabass and even chip shop scraps that it got me hungry for fish and chips so I got some chip shop scraps as I was curious.

I was surprised that anyone would even eat these scraps or perhaps they would be tasty coming from a fish shop because it might have some fishy taste to it.

In the recent news, there has been a debate that these chip scraps have been gentrified by Marks and Sparks, similarly imagine at a Chinese takeaway, these scraps would be chicken ball scraps.

The scraps just tasted like fried pieces of batter and they add a little crunch texture to things if you put them in salads or sprinkle some in curry.

[Review] Alpro cashew milk - Chilled

Alpro is a non dairy brand that has been around for ages.
They have oat, almond and hazelnut milk but Cashew was one that I have not seen or tried before hence 
I had to try it.
For people who want a milk that does not have a nutty taste, I would definitely recommend Alpro Cashew milk because it does taste creamy as claimed and it tastes just like whole meal which brought me memories of drinking milk during break at school.

There is a slight sweetness to it but not that noticeable if you gulp it down.

After trying the cashew milk, I can understand why cashew is used to make cheese because it is just like milk.

As well as cashew milk, the other non dairy nut milks that I like are hazelnut and almond purely because of the nutty aroma they have which goes nicely when you add it to tea, coffee or whatever you are making.

Ingredients in the Alpro cashew milk - Chilled
Water, Cashew (3.1%), Sugar, Calcium (Tri-calcium phosphate), Sea salt, Stabilisers (Locust bean gum, Gellan gum), Emulsifier (Lecithins (Sunflower)), Vitamins (B2, B12, E, D2).

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Plant Kitchen Rainbow Vegetable Pie

Spotted the Marks and Spencers Plant Kitchen Rainbow Vegetable Pie while ago and was captivated by the name being a rainbow vegetable pie.

According to the box, it is roasted butternut squash, courgettes, red onions, and red peppers in a tomato and Harissa sauce with a chickpea puree in a paprika pastry case topped with coriander and seed mix.

With all these ingredients, it is definitely hearty and nutritious as well as tasty but sadly I found it too heavy and rich for my liking especially the seed mix which I understand is good for you.

The flavours of this pie was quite Middle Eastern with Harissa sauce and herbs like cumin, turmeric, caraway seeds, nutmeg etc.

Overall, I would recommend sharing this pie or having it with some light salad to balance out the flavours.
