Walls Viennetta Vanilla ice cream

Viennetta Ice Cream, first created in 1982 by Wall’s in Gloucester, and it has been a family favourite since as well as a popular demand in Asia.

It came in two flavours, Vanilla and Mint. since then there has been new flavours like chocolate orange, biscuit, chocolate yule log, cappuccino, strawberry, Neopolitan.

Just for the records, I do not have the vanilla one so decided to get it for review.

It was just as nice as the other flavours but you get to appreciate the chocolate more since it just plain vanilla icecream.

Tesco Meat & Veg Breakfast pork sausages & Lamb Mince

Many brands are doing meat and veg products so that consumers can get a balanced diet with their favourite items like sausages mince etc.
At Tescos they were doing a taste sampling for their new Meat & Veg line.
Tried the breakfast sausages and chicken cauliflower goujons which were quite nice.
The meat ones reminded me of dumpling fillings where meat and veg are minced together.
If you notice carefully, there is a cctv labelling by the products which I believe is to monitor to see if consumers do buy the product after sampling.

Anyway, the sausages were good so I bought the sausages and got the lamb mince as well.

Meat & Veg Lamb Mince:

The lamb mince contains carrot, butternut squash and onions.

There are so many ways you can eat this but I decided to have it on Yorkshire with gravy and it was so tasty.

The vegetables in the mince take it to the next level because it keeps the lamb moist.

As well as Lamb on Yorkshire, it would also taste nice as a Urghur style lamb pilaf with extra diced carrots or even Indian style keema curry.

Tesco flat peaches

I love flat peaches/donut peaches because they are easier for the jaw!!
Tescos flat peaches were juicy and sweet.

Since peaches and cream is a popular flavour, I tried fresh peaches and cream and it was rather nice.

Naked noodles and Veg pots now with NEW NOODS

I don't know how long Naked Noodles have been around but it seems that they were launched in 2012 according to the internet by Symingtons.

Rewind a back a few years to 2018, I was working abroad so as usual I get my parents to bring some gourmet food and snacks from the UK.

At that time I discovered Naked noodles when I was browsing the supermarket website so I requested for the Cantonese hoisin duck noodles along with other treats.

I found that the Naked noodle spices were really strong.

Fast forward a few years, the range at Naked has really grown from noodles to pot rice!

As a rice fan, I tried the Char Siu long grain rice, Katsu curry and Sweet chilli which was good and filling.

About a year ago I was honoured to take part in a questionnaire for Naked on their new veg pots so it was good to see how the new veg pots came out (Photos here).

Recently, I was looking for some Pot Noodles which were camouflaged near Naked Noodles hence I took a naughty photo to show how strikingly similar they were.

Naked Noodles found out and were very kind in gifting me lots of noodles to try.

I was gifted Sweet chilli, Teriyaki, Big Eat Thai Style fiery chicken panang and Big Eat Thai Style green curry.

After trying all the flavours, Thai Style fiery chicken and Thai Style green curry are my favourites.

They happen to be Big Eats too which are more satisfying.

You really have to give it some time to soak the flavours and go soft and when they do they taste like takeaway style egg noodles.

The other two flavours Sweet Chilli and Teriyaki are for the sweet palate and the broth/sauce is thicker.

To summarize, the spices use in Naked Noodles are strong.

In terms of the peel off lids, the big eats lids peeled off with difficulty but for the other two, the lids peeled off effortlessly.

Naked Rendang Veg pots:

Also tried the Rendang curry veg pot which I got from the Naked remedy rooms.

These were quite comforting and remind me of soup with more vegetables in ratio to noodles.

It is year 2024 now and Naked have replaced the noodles with NEW NOODS which are flat in shape.

I felt that these new noods were much nicer as they are soft and hang the sauce well.

Dalstons real squeezed rhubarb sparkling

The Dalstons real squeezed rhubarb sparkling is another new favourite fizzy drink of mine.
I liked it because it was a Rhubarb drink that isn't artificially sweetened and it tasted natrual.

As well as the taste, the look of the drink and can itself was nice and I love the humour too.

Yeo Valley Yummy Plummy & spiced apple caramel yoghurt

The Yeo Valley yummy plummy was a festive edition for 2020 which I forgot to write up.

It was nice but disappointing because I couldn't taste the plum.

This year, I got the spiced apple caramel yoghurt which was smooth and decadent yet it still had a strong yoghurt taste.

Pink Scarlet runner beans

When Scarlet runner beans mature, the beans go a pretty pink.
However as they age even more they go dark purple.
