[Review] Sainsburys Pink Prawn Roses vs Icelands dozen duck roses vs Aldi Thai Roses

Instaworthy Rose shaped pastry wrapped around a prawn and vegetable mix by Sainsburys.
These are handcrafted roses made using delicate layers of crisp filo pastry, tinted with beetroot for a soft pink glow. They’re filled with a mix of chopped king prawns tumbled in a mellow blend of coconut and Thai-style penang curry spices.
Although I am not a fan of Thai style flavours, I just had to try the Sainsburys Pink Prawn Roses.
Iceland are doing a similar thing with orange duck roses.

Comparing the two, Iceland is not as pretty as Sainsburys but I think Iceland would probably sell better because of the duck and it only costs £2.50 for a dozen whereas Sainsburys is £4 for 10.

Both Iceland and Sainsburys state that it is made of filo pastry.

Tried the Sainsburys one and the pastry felt and tasted like pancake roll wrap.

After putting it in the oven for a specified time they were ready to eat.

It was the taste I expected so for people who love Thai food then I would definitely recommend it but in terms of presentation Sainsburys definitely nailed it.

Will hopefully try the Iceland version for comparison.

It appears Tescos could possibly be in the game according to their poster but I have not spotted it yet.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Merry Berry Jelly

As well as fancy drinks with gold leaves, M&S has got a Merry Berry Jelly dessert this year which is raspberry with gold sparkles.

Overall, it tasted like the regular raspberry jelly with gold sparkles in it.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers gastropub shredded duck croquettes with cherry hoisin dip

Tried the Marks and Spencers gastropub shredded duck croquettes with cherry hoisin dip because the idea of a duck croquette and cherry hoisin dip was good.

I liked the way, they used duck for the croquette which is spiced with Asian spices like aniseed and clove.

Having duck certainly calls for hoisin sauce but I like the way they have put cherry in it to take it to the next level.

Overall, the duck croquettes were really delicious with the hoisin dip because it is the sort of thing you would find at the gastropub.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Battered Cod and Pea Fishcakes

M&S have taken fishcakes to the next level with fillings.
The crushed peas is definitely a good idea and the katsu curry is adventurous.

As a fish and chip lover I had to try the Marks and Spencers Battered Cod and Pea Fishcakes because it combine my two favourites into one!

It was easily the best fish cake topped with a layer of crushed peas in a lovely light batter.

If only I had some chips to go with it.

[Vegetable review] Jerusalem Artichoke

Jerusalem Artichokes are root vegetables that look similar to ginger.
These root vegetables are best roasted or blended into soups.
They taste like water chestnuts with an unpleasant urine smell.
