M&S Marks Spencer Plant Kitchen Woodfired Margherita Pizza

Sometimes I like pizzas that don't have much cheese so the Plant Kitchen Woodfired Margherita Pizza was ideal as there was so much spinach visually.

According to the description, it is woodfired sourdough pizza base with basil, pesto, spinach and Santerlla tomatoes finished with house sauce which seems to be cauliflower from the ingredients at the back.

Although it looked like a big pizza, it was so delicious that I could have finished it all by myself as the margherita sauce was really appetizing and as a whole it was not heavy.

Overall, I am really impressed and would definitely buy it again.

Cadbury Fudge sticky puds review

On my frequent supermarket trips, I don't recall ever spotting the Cadbury Fudge sticky puds so when I saw it at one of those independent supermarkets selling for 1.95, I decided to get it because the price was not marked up by too much.

Finally tried Cadbury's fudge sticky pud.

The fudge sauce was too sweet that you couldn't taste the fudge and it didn't drip like the picture which is consistent to another review of this on youtube.

Overall I think the sauce let it down because I ended up scraping the sauce away.

Morrisons Sweet cured herrings review

Lately,  I had this strange urge to try rollmops so ended up trying the Morrisons Sweet cured herrings first as it was hard deciding which supermarket brand of rollmops.

The reason I chose Morrisons sweet cured herrings was that it was quite different to the other supermarkets because it had pink peppercorns which the others didn't have.

As expected, I wasn't quite fond of it because of the sweetness but then I expected that because they are sweet cured.

Overall,  I think I am going to like rollmops more than sweet cured herrings but if you seriously wanted to try sweet cured, I definitely recommend Morrisons.

[Fruit Review] Quince

According to internet, Quince is a fruit that looks like an apple and there are a few varieties that vary in shade.
Quince has to be cooked to unlock the flavous as they are very astringement and sour if you eat them raw so that was just what I did.

To my disappointment, the quince was not unpleasant as expected, it just tasted like a bitter apple which was also mentioned on someone elses youtube video.

Anyway, I ended up cooking it to see how it would taste. The quince was extremely hard to cut so I wasted quite a bit.

I didn't simmer it for an hour because I was not planning to make Quince jelly anyway so I had it cooked to the point the quince was soft yet it still had a bite.

The taste of the cooked quince was so much nicer and fragrant so definitely worth trying if you see it at the shops.

McVities Unicorn gems and Iced gems review

I got addicted to choc gems after trying McVites choc gems so I decided to try the unicorn gems as well as the original iced gems, however I didn't see any iced gems on my shopping trip so ended up trying the unicorn gems.

The Mcvities Unicorn gems were strangely comforting and they have that satisfying crunch followed by sweetness.

It tastes like a Rich Tea biscuit base topped with hard icing.

I still want to review the regular McVities Iced Gems but the flavours are the same according to the internet, its just the colours are different.

From the packet, it says Biscuits Topped with Raspberry, Blackcurrant and Lemon Flavour Icing for both iced gems and unicorn gems.

Rating: 4/5

Tried the Iced Gem and they are pretty much the same in taste with four colours: white, lilac, purple and yellow so unicorn gems are prettier in the colour sense.
