[Review] Jamie Oliver Tortelloni review and fresh pasta and sauce range finds

I suspect these filled Bolognese tortellonis are regional because I have not spotted any @jamieoliver products at the tescos near me.
Anyway, I was given this pack of Jamie Oliver Bolognese Tortelloni pasta by someone in the south east.
On the topic of #jamieoliver I went to the TESCOs website found more Jamie Oliver pasta products:
Jamie Oliver Butternut Squash Tortelloni 250G, Jamie Oliver Spinach & Ricotta Ravioli Pasta 250G, Jamie Oliver Aubergine Parmigiana Tortelloni 250G, Jamie Oliver Carbonara Tortelloni Pasta 250G.
Bolognese and butternut squash would probably be my picks.
According to the instructions, you just have to cook it in sauce and the tortelloni will soften.
As I didn't have any sauce, I replaced the sauce with butternut squash soup which worked just as well but the tricky part was cooking the tortelloni in the soup as it didn't really absorb the soup so I had to add some water.
Overall, the Tortelloni was delicious.
Just for fun, here is a throwback of the TVC I took part in for Jamies Italian restaurant in Hong Kong:




Half a year later, I finally found more of these Jamie Oliver kits at a small Tescos Express along with his pasta sauces.




Tried the Butternut Squash Tortelloni which was tasty in tomato sauce.




The Aubergine Parmigiana Tortelloni was another delicious one because of the tomato puree in the filling.











[Review] Jacobs Mini Cheddars Nacho cheese and Jalapeno

The jalapeno nacho mini cheddars are not new but finally tried them.
The chilli kick was surprisingly hot.



[Review] Jacobs Mini Cheddars Chipotle Chicken Wings

The chipotle chicken wings mini cheddars were quite nice.
As for the taste, they were spicy and moreish.



Modern After Eights with gin and tonic, strawberry as well as orange

With all these new After Eight flavours, gin and tonic is definitely my pick.
Modern After Eights with gin and tonic at Sainsbury.
The dark chocolate was good and tasted better from the fridge as I followed the tip saying best served cold.
The fondant filling was mintier than the strawberry after eight but somehow lacked any taste of gin.
Overall nice but the fondant was too sweet.

After Eight Orange & Mint at Asda


After Eights Strawberry &Mint at Poundland.
These were launched ages ago along with orange mint and gin tonic but I didn't try them back then.
Anyway finally tried them and loved them.
The pairing of strawberry and mint is odd but it worked.
When you open the box you get that lovely chocolate strawberry smell that you get from quality street strawberry creams.
The taste is similar to that with subtle mint flavours so sometimes its like eating a chocolate strawberry creme and sometimes like a regular after eight.


Limited edition after eights:

[Review] Jacobs Mini Cheddars - Red Leicester

As well as the blue cheese Jacob mini cheddars.
The Red Leicester was also moreish because it was really cheesy so I don't know how I can go back to regular Mini cheddars.



[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Chip Shop Curry Sauce

I love curry sauce so obviously had to try the chip shop curry sauce by M&S.
The colour and consistency is just like your chip shop sauce.
As I didn't have any chips, I simply dipped bread in it and it was nice but there was a slight bitterness from the spices used in the sauce.
