Sproud unsweetened pea milk

A few weeks ago I tried the Mighty pea milk which was my first pea milk and it had a strong flat bean taste so I was expecting this one to be similar.
However I was sproudly surprised that it actually tasted like milk with a very faint beany taste to it.

M&S Spanish Potato & Onion tortilla

Some Spanish tortillas can be really egg but this was one of the best potato and onion tortillas I have tried because it was balanced and not too eggy.

Adding mayonnaise takes it to another level.

Sainsburys spicy hell's chicken

First, I was surprised to see this black bun filled with spicy chicken at Sainsburys as they don't usually have things like this.
Secondly, it was so delicious like restaurant/cafe quality.
It wasn't spicy but the onions made it really tasty along with the red Leicester cheese and creamy slaw that was not too sweet.

I warmed it in the microwave for 30 seconds just to bring it to room temperature and it tasted amazing
Overall, really worth trying.

Made by the Greencore group so it was no surprise I liked it because I liked the previous products like the Marks and Spencers like the no salt beef bun, Boots vegan sandwiches, Sainsburys festive roast sandwich with gravy.

Tudor Bakery, a traditional English bakery in Old Coulsdon

Traditional independent bakeries are getting scarce now and even more scarce in London especially central London where rents are high.

On my quest to visit as many bakeries in the past year, I have only managed to visit around 4-5 which is alarmingly low.

Finding a bakery which has cream slices is even more difficult and so far I have only found one in London.

After posting about the cream slice, I was really lucky that Mark Daws commented to say that there is one in Old Coulsdon.

The frustrating thing is that there is no social media or even Facebook to get in touch with this bakery.

The reason I would want to check out their Facebook/instagram is to see what types of bakery they do and no one has even posted anything about this place.

I have been meaning to visit this bakery but it is just off the radar meaning I would have to endure a 45 minute bus journey when there are temptations in London which is only a 10 minute journey a way.

Finally I dedicated a Saturday to visit this bakery and the reason I say dedicate is because I simply can't resist these delicious treats meaning I will be buying some.

You can't exactly be going shopping elsewhere swinging delicate cakes in your hands.

To avoid any imperfections, I took some photos before getting the bus which was fortunate because one of the pieces did get deformed but luckily the star of the show didn't.

Anyway, getting back to this amazing bakery called Tudor Bakery, I was greeted with all the familiar treats like iced buns, cream doughnuts, custard doughnuts, cookies, bakewell tarts, savoury slices, London cheesecakes and rolls etc and most importantly the Cream Slice which I have been on a quest for.

Seeing a CREAM SLICE is a rarity! When was the last time you saw a cream slice at your local bakery because you can only buy commercially made ones these days.

The cream slice is my absolute favourite because my grandma always used to get me them.

I was elated when they said it was fresh cream because it just doesn't taste the same with synthetic cream.

I ended up getting a cream slice and strawberry Danish.

The cream slice at Tudor Bakery was slightly different as it was basically the top layer with icing filled with cream and the bottom layer which had a thin layer of strawberry jam on it.

To summarize, this was the best non commercial cream slice filled with fresh cream.

I appreciate traditional bakery attire that the staff were wearing because most uniforms are quite modern these days.

This is the second bakery to wear traditional bakery uniform.

In a way, I am fortunate that I am far away other wise I could easily be back getting the cream slice and other treats too often.

The information on google maps is wrong because it says it closes at 17:30 but they close earlier.

Ashoka palak paneer (Tofu) and Punjabi Choley

I love pureed palak which is pureed spinach.

Usually you will find palak paneer which is spinach and cheese but I managed to find palak paneer tofu which is less guilty and fat free.
The colour of the real thing is a bit off putting but it was delicious with instant noodles mixed into it.

At the shops, they also have other items in the range like Baigan barta etc.

Also tried the Punjabi Choley which is a Punjabi delicacy of curried chickpeas with aromatic spices.

It was nice but the chickpeas were a bit hard.

Morrisons Cheese & Onion Rolls (6 pack)

Someone got the Cheese & Onion rolls from Morrisions so I got to try them.
The cheese was definitely strong but the rolls were not moreish.
