Tesco British beef rump steak - 21 days matured review

I love steaks and matured is always the way to go because it has more flavour and moisture.
Tesco British beef rump steak - 21 days matured turned out to be really good and the texture was satisfying because it didn't have much sinew.





M&S Marks and Spencers 9 mini mixed roll selection

I love rolls so got the mixed roll selection where there are a selection of 3 seeded rolls, 3 wheat bran-topped wholemeal rolls and 3 white rolls.
My favourite were the white rolls and bran topped rolls.

Since I tried them a year ago, the packaging has changed and now look like this.

Sainsburys Plant Pioneers No Prawn Toast

Sainsbury's own plant based Plant Pioneers brand is quite competitive and some of the items in the range can be quite good like the pork belly.
They have now taken the pork belly to the next level by pairing it with bao buns.
This post will be about the No Prawn toasts which were surprisingly good.
According to the label, it was White sliced bread topped with jackfruit, king oyster mushroom and sesame seeds.
The presentation was definitely convincing and not hard to achieve with the mock prawn paste covered in sesames seed.
There was one odd slice in the batch which clearly belonged to another piece of prawn toast as it was a different colour.
After putting it in the halogen oven, the toasts were nice and crispy but they were a bit oily so I should have blotted the oil with some tissue paper.
Despite the oil, the taste and texture was on the right track.
It strangely tasted like prawn with a bounce from the mushrooms.
Overall not bad, so you can think of it like eating a real prawn toast with a stingy layer of prawn paste with enough to give it a taste of prawns where you can't complain there are no prawns in it.
Adding lemon juice to it made it flawless.
Rating: 4/5.











Plant Pioneers no pork belly bao buns:

The pork belly is basically the same as the no pork belly bites launched for Christmas but the size is bigger paired with a bun.

Morrisons chocolate & orange donut / doughnut

I love trying new donut flavours from Morrisons. This time it was the relatively new chocolate orange donuts.
Had my branch stocked them, I would have got them sooner but the branch I go to strangely don't really stock the new flavours.
Usually Morrisons are generous with fillings but all five of these were consistently stingy, almost non existent.
The doughnut itself is consistent ie oily and not yeasty like other supermarkets so it really relies on the filling.
I wasn't really a fan of the chocolate orange because the orange was a bit artificial.
Anyway, I wished I had saved my 50p and waited for the new pink lemonade donuts.
With the rest of the donuts remaining, I had it with Cadburys desserts which were too sweet for their own good and they were a match made in heaven.
There was another mystery surrounding these donuts, I thought they were sold out as they were not on the shelves so I asked them if they had stocked them and strangely they were in the trolley but not put out and they were not due to expire that day or anything.
Rating: 2/5
