West Country Custard

Not a bad custard, the West Country Custard was thick and creamy and not too sweet.
It was nice with puddings.

Nestle curiously cinnamon churros

Basically churros shaped cheerios.
Would love to see the reactions from Mexicans and the Spaniards.
As well as cereals I think they make great softserve toppings and cake decorations. 






As I had a fair bit left, I crushed them and topped them on rhubarb to make rhubarb crumble.

M&S Marks and Spencers Our Best Ever Macaroni & Cheese

It's been a while since the Best Ever Mac was out but everytime I picked it up I put it down because I thought it would be overwhelming as it has quite a few cheeses in it.
According to the label, it is Free-range egg pasta blended with cave-aged Cheddar cheese for richness, pecorino for bite, Emmental for nutty sweetness and stringy mozzarella for a perfectly melted ooze, topped with roasted garlic oil breadcrumbs, crispy onions and fresh parsley.
The only cheese I was not fond was the stringy mozzarella because I just don't like stringy cheese that is elastic and does not break.
To my surprise, the mac and cheese was surprisingly good and not too cheesy. The crispy crumbs on top were not too hard and had a light crispiness to it.
Overall, the crumbs and crispy onions took it to the next level and the stringy cheese gives it that extra wow factor but I just don't like the stringy texture.

Co Op (coop) Cherry Bakewell Ice Cream

I have been eyeing this Co Op cherry bakewell ice cream for a while mainly because I haven't seen other brands of supermarkets do it.
It is smooth almond flavour ice cream with a cherry sauce and digestive crumb.
Luckily it tasted good or I would be doomed with such a big tub of icecream.
Overall it wasn't too sweet and the cherry sauce was nice.
The icecream itself is quite soft and creamy and you get a strong cherry bakewell aftertaste in your mouth so it depends if you like this or not.

Cadbury Wispa Gold

Basically, this is your usual lovely bubby wispa with a layer of caramel on top.
Overall, not too cloyingly sweet.

Bonne maman blackcurrant mousse, salted caramel creme, strawberry and rhubarb mousse

Bonne Mamam is everywhere, you find this brand doing jams, madeleines and even desserts.
As well as UK, I have seen Bonne Mamam in Asia.
I have always wanted to try their decadent mousses but ended up trying the blackcurrant mousse first because someone wanted to try it.
I found it light with a strong blackcurrant kick that was super tangy.
Overall, I think I would be better off with salted caramel.
A few months later, I ended up buying the strawberry, rhubarb and salted caramel.
Both the strawberry and rhubarb were really sugary even though there was lots of fruit in it and the texture is like whipped egg white.
Rating: 3/5

bonne maman rhubarb:

bonne maman salted caramel:
The salted caramel creme was my favourite out of the three and the texture was no much nicer over mousse.
