M&S Marks Spencer Taramasalata

I love Taramasalata and I think this is the best!
Just when I thought this was the best, they now have a new tangy Taramasalata which I am yet to try.

Overall, this one was great with avocados and ciabiattas, it was creamy and savoury.

Rating: 4/5

M&S Marks Spencer Hass Avocados

Soft creamy ripe avocados are hard to come accross which is frustrating.

What's even more annoying is when you buy salads and sandwiches with slices of avocados that are not ripe.

Anyway, tried my luck with the Marks Spencer Hass Avocados and they were surprisingly good.

The flesh inside was uniformly coloured without any black bits.

I had mine with Taramasalata and it was simply delicious.

M&S Marks Spencer Lamb's Liver & bacon

I used to have school dinners which I am grateful for because our school did great dinners and varieties.
One of them was liver and mash. I remember it being strong and tasty in gravy with mash so I decided to try the M&S version with bacon.
Overall, it fared better than the mini meal version. The liver was hard and crumbly so the gravy was really tasty having absorbed all that liver goodness into it.

M&S Marks Spencer Lamb's Liver & Onions (mini meal) review

I used to have school dinners which I am grateful for because our school did great dinners and varieties.

One of them was liver and mash. I remember it being strong and tasty in gravy with mash so I decided to try the M&S version with onions.

Overall, it was nice but the liver was a bit gamey.

M&S Marks and Spencers Cook With Sea bass fillets with chilli, lime & coriander

The M&S cook with range is quite good as they even have sea bass fillets.

They were delicately flavoured and overall tasty with some veg for a quick meal,

Tesco Fire Pit 4 Hot & Spicy Pork Loin Steaks

Tescos have launched a great variety of marinated meats for the summer and the spicy pork loin was one of them along with Chinese style, Indian style etc.
The spicy pork loins were tender and moist when it was cooked which made a great meal with rice and vegetables.

Lidl Chinese style pork shoulder steaks

Every supermarket is doing a good variety of meats for the summer BBQ, Lidl and Aldi have chimmichurri steaks, while most offer Chinese style pork.
Traditonal Cantonese Chinese roast pork (char siu) uses the shoulder cut, however from my supermarket finds, Tescos, Iceland and Sainsburys offer the belly cut and Lidl has the shoulder cut.

To compare with Chinese roast pork, I got the Lidl Chinese style pork shoulder steaks.

There is no right and wrong which cut to use as it is for BBQ but for the sake of Chinese roast pork the shoulder steak is a better choice.

When I took the meat out from the packet, there was a strong smell of aniseed and five spice.

Overall, the taste was spot on with a strong aniseed taste.

If you want a more authentic taste, try glazing it with malt syrup or honey so that it will caramelized.

According to the ingredients, beetroot was used for the colouring.

To summarize, it tasted good but the pork was like cuts of pork glued together hence I give it a 3/5 rating.
