[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Shortcrust Cherry Pie

Firstly I love cherry anything especially Morello Cherries.
Frankly this is the best cherry pie ever, it was loaded with lots of sweet plump Morello cherries.

The shortcrust was so good that you can eat the pie hot or cold but frankly I prefer it cold because if you put it in the oven the cherries might go sour.

It is loaded with so much cherries so money well spent.

Despite not reheating it, the shortcrust pastry was still soft and crumbly.

[Review] Batchelors Super noodle Pots Curry

I love Batchelors super noodle pots oddly enough even but then I just love trying things out even though people rate them badly.

If you haven't tried them, you can expect some super slimey viscous noodles in the pot making a noise when you eat them.

Anyway, there are two curry flavours for the pots: curry and flamin curry.

It is interesting how different the two taste.

The regular curry was really comforting because it like chicken with a light curry flavour that isn't spicy yet prominent.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers collection Chocolate Cream

I love the creams and alcoholic creams at M&S so I didn't hesitate to buy this one.

The texture of the cream is thick like chocolate spread and the taste was just like chocolate spread but made with fresh Guersey and Jersey cream.

I tried it on toast and it was bliss.

Also had pancakes with chocolate cream and cherries and they went together amazingly well.

As well as desserts, I made hot chocolate and milkshake with.

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.
