M&S British Raspberries (Vajolet)

While I was Marks and Spencers, I spotted two varieties of raspberries which were big so decided to see what the difference in taste was.
Visually they are the same size, vajolet has a sheen to them while sapphires look frosted.
In terms of taste the Sapphires are sweet and punchy while the vajolet can be quite tart if you eat one that is not ripe.
To conclude the M&S Majestics from Morocco are the best, they are sweet and stable in terms of supply.






M&S Specialty Sapphire Raspberries

Marks and Spencers food never disappoint and same goes to their fruit!
As well as their diamond strawberries, they also have Sapphire Raspberries.
I wasn't sure what to expect because I normally buy the Mexican Majestic raspberries from M&S which are consistently sweet and flawless.
Visually the Sapphire raspberries are much bigger than the Majestics with a frosted look.
In terms of taste the Sapphires are sweet and punchy while the Majestics are just sweet.
Overall, the Sapphires were good but I think the Majestics are more stable in terms of supply.





Maple Sugar

Maple sugar is such a rare find in the UK unless you buy it online so when M&S had the maple cured bacon with a sachet of maple rub, I figured that it was basically maple sugar.
I tried a bit and it was definitely maple sugar so I saved some to experiment with.
Adding it to tea gave it a lovely maple aroma and sweetness which went nicely with Yorkshire tea.
Will definitely try it on other things soon.

M&S The Collection Coronation Chicken Rolls

I didn't have any expectations on the new Marks & Spencers Coronation chicken rolls because I wasn't fond of the recently launched Coronation chicken scotch egg which was heavily spiced.
The roll version was surprisingly nice because you have that sausage meat texture with the taste of fruity apricots in this lovely buttery pastry.
Overall, I really liked it because minced chicken meat is much nicer.

Walkers MAX Kentucky Fried Chicken Crisps and MAX double crunch KFC Zinger

Kfc have done a few crossovers with various crisps brands including Lays and Calbee.
I was excited with the Walkers crossover because it was an English favourite brand that tastes good.
Although it was nice, it lacked that kfc spice flavouring and it was quite salty.
The other kfc crossover I tried was Lays KFC bbq which tasted like Lays Masala magic.
In general Lays and Calbee crisps are weirdly sweet for savoury flavours.
Lays and Calbee have some bizarre sweet ones like lemon tea, coffee, melon bingsu and strawberry flavoured crisps.

Walkers MAX double crunch KFC Zinger:
These were not bad and they were very crunchy as claimed.
The taste was quite spicy like a zinger and also very salty.





M&S Count on Us Chicken & Pasta spice pot

I love pasta so ended up getting the Marks and Spencers chicken & pasta spice pot which has Strozzapreti.
Basically you can think of it tasting like chicken Arrabbiata with strozzepreti pasta and tasty black olives.
It wasn't very filling but it was very delicious!

M&S Colin the Caterpillar softies

The Marks and Spencers sweet range is just incredible with Percy pig and vegan Colin the caterpillar.
The new raspberry and milk flavoured foam sweets are my favourite so far which taste like dehydrated chewy marshmallows with a lovely raspberry flavour.
No wonder everyone is raving about how good they are because these are really worth trying!
