M&S Mini meal Cottage pie

I love M&S mini meals because the portion is just right for lunch.

The mini cottage pie is just comforting but reheating it in an oven would get you better results for the mash!

Since I was having it for lunch, I microwaved it for speed and adding some marmite houmous to mash made it tastier.

Lidl McEnnedy Squeezy Cheese (VEGAN)

It's been ages since I had squeezy cheese.
The brands sold now are different to the ones a few years ago.
Lidl are now doing a squeezy cheese sauce for American Week and what makes it unique is that it is vegan!!!!!
However it is on the pricey side compared to Hellmans and Asda so definitely not getting a bargain from Lidl!!
I was gobsmacked how good it was, there was a cheesy wotsits aroma, as for the taste it was like a savory mayo without the twang and mildly cheesy like wotsits.
The texture was creme like as stated on the bottle so it was really light like mayonnaise therefore I think people are going to like it without that heaviness.
Again, it was really really good but because it is lidl I feel that it should be cheaper than other brands.
As @belcherlinks_stardawg correctly mentioned it is value more money but as a foodie less is more as there are so many things I want to try.
If it doesn't taste good you're screwed with a big quantity with someting that is not palatable.

Noodles tossed in Lidl McEnnedy squeezy cheese

Caramel flavour marshmallow fluff

In the old days only asda stocked fluff but now you can get them at aldi and lidl.
I went to aldi because they had the caramel fluff which was stocked for Taste of America.
As expected, it was gooey and delicious with a hint if caramel in taste and a lovely aroma.
Other flavours you can get are the original, strawberry and raspberry.
It says online that you can't get chocolate because cocoa butters stop it from whipping so I wonder if cocoa powder can solve the problem.
Imagine if they came out with cherry fluff, that could be nice too!

Taste of America finds at Aldi:

Cream cheese brioche, Cinnamon brioche, Kelloggs cookies & Cream / pretzel squares, pancakes, peanut butters with strawberry / raspberry / banana / chocolate.

Cuihong CH hot and spicy seasoning mix 翠宏红油

I fell in love with Sichuan spices when I first tried mouth watering chicken and other Sichuan dishes which all revolve around Sichuan peppercorns.

The ones served in the restaurants are mostly too salty and fiery so when I discovered that you could get the seasoning from the shops I decided to try it.

Before using it, I tried to see how spicy it was and it was evidently very spicy which means it goes a long way as I do not have to use much.

So far I have used it on noodles and beancurd sheets which were just delicious.

Lidl Caribbean style pineapple coconut chocolate sticks

These were liquid filled chocolate sticks but I didn't realize that they were that tiny [3cm long].
They were really sugary and the liquid tasted like Japanese plum more than pineapple coconut.
It was literally chewing on chocolate with sugar crystals bursting with liquid filling.

Overall, I really hated it and would to know how the other one tasted costing 1.99!

M&S Best Ever Eclair

I have finally tried the Marks & Spencers best ever eclair!!!
For me, most M&S foods are perfect so when they come out with new best ever items I wonder how they can be better than perfect.
Enter the Best ever eclair which is a whopping 7 inches priced at £5 for two.
The eclair contains British cream, chocolate ganache inside topped with chocolate fondant and chocolate lacing.
Overall, I would say this eclair is for an indulgent experience with more chocolate because I could happily eat the regular one.
Although £5 is steep, in Asia I'm actually paying £5 equivalent for a regular eclair at M&S stores so buying the Best Ever version is a bargain.
The best ever eclair tastes the best eaten asap out of the fridge when the chocolate is cold and not so sweet.
Overall, I'm glad I tried

M&S Count on Us Chilli con Carne

As the name Count on Us suggests, it aims for lower calories hence a smaller portion of rice.

Compared to the regular version you get more veggies like peppers hence the taste is slightly different and not so meaty.
Overall nice but I prefer the regular Marks and Spencer version.
