Lisner Herring single portion - Lemon and Dill, Onion and Spicy 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.

Then, the search led me to Lisner herrings from the Polish shops and it so happens Lidl was also doing East European week and stocked them so I got all three flavours.

Although Lisner Herring Single portion sells at the same price at Lidl and the Polish shops, the one from Lidl is for the English market because it is clearly labelled in English.

I was impressed all three flavours because of the tartness and it didn't have any sweetness to it.

The herrings were boneless and moreish without any unpleasant smell or taste and the best thing was the finely chopped onions which had an amazing crunch like coleslaw, again they were perfectly tangy and didn't have any sting to them.

It is hard choosing my favourite but probably the Spicy and Dill and Lemon.

PUDLISZKI FLAKI WOLOWE W ROSOLE (Polish Beef Tripe Soup) review

As well as Chinese pig stomach smoup you will also find stomach soup in the Polish cuisine available in pig stomach or cow stomach [tripe].

Most people cook this from scratch but I discovered this soup at the Polish supermarket.

The soup was in a glass jar which was different as most soups are in cans.

The fact that it is in a glass jar makes it more tempting to buy because it won't have the canned taste and you can see what is in the soup before buying.

The soup is like a jelly but when reheated it become a comforting clear broth.
I was really surprised at the amount of tripe you got in the jar, it was about 65% tripe and 35% soup.

Highly recommended to try if you have any Polish shops nearby.

Chicken and Duck sushi review - Battle of the supermarkets!

Practially almost every supermarket has chicken and duck sushi, so far I have spotted them at Tescos, Lidl and Aldi.
I don't recall any at Sainsburys or M&S but I managed to find some online.

Out of all the ones I saw, I bought the chicken and duck sushi from Lidl for 1.69.
The assortment is a winner as you get 3 pieces for hoisin duck and you also get the purple cabbage rolls.
However I don't have any expectations for the chicken because it is formed chicken according to the ingredients.
Visually there is less rice ratio to filling and the inner part of the roll is lined with seaweed so its going to be tasty.
As expected, the sushi was to my liking, the sushi rice was relatively softer compared to other brands and supermarkets and I believe they used glutinous rice.
The cabbage and duck were delicious on their own and didn't need sauce but the formed chicken was tasteless which was where the wasabi and soy sauce improved it.
I was surprised that ginger was included for Lidl standards because there wasn't any ginger in the M&S sushi I tried before and the soy sauce was also generous compared to other brands.

Tesco £2.75

Aldi £1.69

Sainsbury's Sushi Medium 165g £2.50

2 Katsu British chicken and red pepper California rolls with a sesame seeds coating, 2 hoisin British duck and cucumber California rolls with a seaweed powder coating, 1 red cabbage hosomaki roll, 1 red pepper hosomaki roll, 1 edamame bean hosomaki roll, sachet of pickled ginger, sachet of wasabi and a bottle of soy sauce.

M&S Marks Spencer Vegetarian sandwich selection and Afternoon tea sandwich selection

Spotted the Afternoon tea sandwich selection and the Vegetarian sandwich selection which are ideal for trying different sandwiches.

For the Afternoon tea sandwich selection, there was smoked salmon and cream cheese, cheese and onion, egg and cress, roast chicken and avocado.

I got the Vegetarian sandwich selection because it had the Wensleydale and carrot chutney which is not a sandwich that I would buy as I am not keen on carrots, also in the selection were tomato and egg in salad cream sauce, ploughmans and egg and cress.

As expected the Wensleydale and carrot chutney was my least favourite because it was too sweet for liking so I am glad it was in this selection which saved me forking out on a regular one.

The rest of the sandwiches were delicious especially the egg and tomato which is one that I thought was too simple try.
