Gefilte fishballs

There are so many fishballs from Swedish, Jewish to Chinese.
Personally I like the Swedish and Jewish because it contains a higher percentage of fish.
The Hong Kong ones are just sweet and terrible with a weird texture.

Gefilte fishballs are a traditional combination of cod, haddock and matzo meal.

[Review] Warburtons Thins

As a foodie, I just have to try everything even when it comes to basic stuff like bread.

Now when it comes to Warburtons, they have a big range including crumpets, potato cakes, regular bread to the Thins.

The thins are visually appealing to me anyway.

My imagination has gone wild again and the thins look like a diamond tufted headboard yet the thins are so soft and thinly sliced.

The thins are great when you are feeling peckish or when you want to try some spread or filling.

They taste great toasted or microwaved for a few seconds.

As well as thins and the standard range they do, they also have giant crumpets and white/wholemeal pittas.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Bread Sauce Mix, Made without and Fresh bread sauce version

Bread sauce has not been mentioned much but it deserves just as much attention as sage and onion stuffing.
It is another vital element in roast dinners which I think more and more restaurants should serve so that people are reminded of this classic English sauce.

As Christmas is coming, you will find bread sauce mix and fresh bread sauce at the supermarket.

Bread sauce is made of milk and onion with breadcrumbs and butter added as thickeners, seasoned with nutmeg, clove, bay leaf, pepper, and salt.

So far, I have only tried the bread sauce mix by M&S and I feel that the mix and fresh bread sauce would taste different because of the onions.

The bread sauce mix uses dehydrated onions which give it a crisp and strong onion flavours whereas for fresh bread sauce the onion would give it a sweet note.

Overall, bread sauce is a must with roast turkey and chicken because the thick sauce compliments it nicely just like sage and onion.

The thick sauce works with dry turkey while the salt and spices wrap together in your mouth to become flavourful.

If that isn't enough, there is cranberry sauce to give it another dimension as well as gravy.

Enough said, I'm hungry for roast again!

Fresh Bread sauce

As I really liked the bread sauce mix, I got the ready to serve version at M&S which was gluten free.

As expected the onions were not that prominent for the ready to eat bread sauce but on the contrary you could taste the cloves and nutmeg better.

Regular BREAD SAUCE:

I love bread sauce that much that I just had to try the regular to see if there was any difference in taste as well as consistency.

Strangely, I found it too rich and milky for my liking so to conclude the Bread Sauce mix and gluten free version are my favourites.

[Review] Batchelors Super noodle Pots Bacon

I love Batchelors Super noodle pots so this time I had the Bacon.

Bacon is probably my favourite because of the smoky flavours which taste good in the pot version as well as the packet version.

The only thing I did not like were the sweetcorn because they got in the way.

[Review] Pot Noodle Sausage Casserole

I love pot noodles so tried the Sausage casserole a while ago but somehow forgot to write it up hence the late post.

With most pot noodles, it comes with a sachet of soy sauce or tomato sauce. Sausage casserole comes with ketchup which makes sense because sausages and ketchup go well together.

Overall, the sausage casserole was comforting because it tasted like gravy.

[Review] Pot Noodle Chilli Beef

I love pot noodles so tried the Chilli Beef a while ago but somehow forgot to write it up hence the late post.
With most pot noodles, it comes with a sachet of soy sauce or tomato sauce but the Chilli Beef comes with some hot sauce.

I tried the hot sauce to see how hot it was before putting it in and it was surprisingly fiery so I only used a little bit.

Overall, the chilli beef was comforting and spicy because the strong flavours were nice.

[Review] Pot Noodle Chicken Korma

I love pot noodles so tried the Chicken Korma a while ago but somehow forgot to write it up hence the late post.
With most pot noodles, it comes with a sachet of soy sauce or tomato sauce but the Chicken Korma comes with mango.

Personally I am not a fan of mango so didn't put it in the noodles.

After you put the water in, you get a nice bright yellow Korma colour and aroma.

As for the taste, it was pretty good just like a proper Korma, then as an option you can add some mango sauce.

I tried the mango sauce on its own but it was too sweet for my liking but I'm so glad I tried the chicken korma and the purple pot is nice.

Hopefully pot noodles will come up with more interesting flavours.
