M&S Full English ,Veggie, high protein smoky bean egg pot breakfast and Halloumi hot breakfast review

While I was at M&S on the 19/02/2021, I spotted the Full English Breakfast and new high protein smoky bean and egg pot breakfast at @marksandspencer

It is interesting how the Full English has a shelf life of two days (to be used by 22/02/2021) with a cooked egg.

I happened to be at M&S on the 22/02/2021 and it was reduced so I got it as I was curious to see if the egg was still fresh on the use by date so I had it for tea that afternoon.

According to the instructions, you remove the lid and replace it loosely and microwave for 2 minutes which I did.

As I wasn't sure if the plastic label was microwable, I removed the label but left the clear window on otherwise it wouldn't be a lid if it was open.

After microwaving it, the contents looked as good as if it was freshly served, the bacon looked moist but the thing I was interested in most was the egg!

To my surprise after two minutes in the microwave, the poached egg white was still tender and the yolk was runny. 

The beans which I was dreading were amazing because they were different to the overly sweet M&S canned beans and tasted like my favourite St Nichols beans.

Basically everything was delicious including the sausage and rasher of bacon so I got my greasy spoon craving satisfied without the greasyness.

As well as the Full English, there is a Veggie breakfast which I also tried however the Full English was better as it was not as sweet.

After the successful launch of the full and veggie breakfast, the halloumi hot was later introduced.

The halloumi heated up nicely in the microwave and the rest was consistently the same eg the beans, mushrooms and spinach.

Last but not least is the NEW high protein smoky bean egg pot breakfast which I had my eye on for a while because I love spicy beans. Since I saw canned refried beans at M&S, it has always made me crave for some spicy beans hence the smoky bean pot.

To be honest, it was really tasty because the smoky beans had a spicy kick as well as smokiness, and the eggs were nicely dressed in sour cream and yoghurt.



















M&S Marks Spencer Make me melt cheese bake review

The Cheese bakes at M&S are quite good and there are quite a few different ones.
This time I tried the Valentines one which has tangy cheddar & moreish Lancashire dusted with paprika paired with the mini burger buns from the MS mini burger collection.
Overall, I found the cheese a bit too heavy for my liking and it wasn't as good as the Cornish Cruncher launched last year.









M&S Marks and Spencers Plant Kitchen Edamame & Black Rice Salad

Ever since I spotted this, I have always wanted to try it because there are so many exciting things in this salad like black rice, edamame etc.
The salad was really tasty as it was Japanese inspired with edamame mixed with wakame seaweed, then you have this really moreish chili cashew nut dip which I thought was pumpkin because of the colour which also had fragrant soy sauce and carrots.
I was even surprised to discover prized aromatic dried porcini mushrooms in the ingredients as well mirin wine which explains why the flavours were so bold and delicious.





Maryland cookie Treats Mint Choc Chip vs Maryland MINT TO BE review

New Maryland mint chocolate cookies which were 50p from one below.

I'm not a cookie/biscuit person but because they were mint chocolate so tried them.

I liked the minty chocolate flavour and the amount of chocolate chips were good.

It looks like there are two different versions because it is not the same as @johnssnackreviews version which has green choc chips just like the Lady gaga oreos where the US and UK version are different.

Just found out that today 19/2/2021 is national chocolate mint day in the US by @madeeats so this was an accidentally timely post.

Shortly after trying this, I tried Maryland MINT TO BE and they seemed to taste nicer because of the chocolate chips but the amount mint chocolate chips were a bit stingy that only a few cookies had them.

I had to take out all the cookies to get a good one with a visible green mint chip.



















innocent berry protein smoothie review

The innocent berry protein smoothie just tasted like a regular banana smoothie which was nice because I don't like the coconut being too prominent.
