Batchelors meat free pots Smoky Facon Mac ‘n’ Cheeze review

My favourite Premier foods are now doing meat free pots.

They come in three flavours: Smoky Facon Mac ‘n’ Cheeze, Chick’n Curry and Rice, and Sweet Chilli Chick’n Noodles.

Basically there is pasta, rice and noodles.

I got the Smoky Facon Mac ‘n’ Cheeze to begin.

Overall, I just felt that it was the regular mac and cheeze which is probably vegetarian labelled vegan.

It was pleasant to eat but I didn't find it comforting however I appreciated the bits of wheat protein in it.

The noodle would be a nice one to try but I don't like the idea of sweet chilli.

Mini Hidden clementine Christmas pudding from Waitrose

I got the Mini Hidden clementine Christmas pudding from Waitrose hence I didn't personally try it.

However, I was sent some photos from Squarecrumpets so this is what it looks like inside.

After Eight Mini Eggs for EASTER 2022 and After eight mint sticks

When I found out After Eights were going to launch these mini eggs for Easter, I knew I was going to like them.

Finally got them on New Years Eve 2021 at B&M's.

The whole thing about it was nice from the design with the Sherlock Holmes rabbit, carrots and all that.

Although I was excited, I tried not to have high expectations because After Eights these days are too sugary.

In the bag you get 9 eggs for a pound.

They turned out so moreish.

After eating these, I don't want to touch after eight thins again because these taste so much better.

You get more dark chocolate ratio to the mint creme so it doesn't taste sugary.

If you try biting it like the product shot you won't get that effect because it is two halves fused together just like the cadbury jingly bells.

As the eggs were top notch, I decided to try the After Eight fine sticks which were totally a different story.

The chocolate and mint fondant was totally different to the eggs, the mint fondant had a really strong peppermint flavour and the chocolate was really sweet.

Utonic kombucha

Spotted these Utonic Kombucha drinks at Poundstretcher so I thought I would give them a go.

Strangely, they look like medicine from the design colour and fonts.

It was hard deciding which one out of Pomegranate, Blueberry, Mango and Lemon Lime.

I had a feeling blueberry would be sour, lemon and lime is just the usual and mango is not my cup of tea so I got the pomegranate.

Anyway, they look and tastes like medicine or perhaps I picked the wrong flavour.

Mango may have been a better bet being sweet but as I am not fond of sweet flavours hence the reason I didn't get it.

M&S Christmas Milk Hot Chocolate Flakes

I have been planning to buy the hot chocolate flakes because it is REAL chocolate and not powder so ended up getting the Christmas Milk hot chocolate flakes.

It was the wrong one because I was supposed to get the MS collection as there was a chocolate clementine and a Himalayan salt.

Although I got the wrong one it was still good and I hope to see a dark chocolate version next year for people with a not so sweet tooth.

Coop cheese bite selection

Ever since I spotted this, I have been meaning to get it because I like cheese and I like star shapes.

Each time I tried to get it, I put them down because of the Mozzarella cheese.

You get Mozzarella Stars (Mozzarella cheese, soft cheese and extra mature cheddar coated in gluten free breadcrumbs.

The round one is Mexican style cheese bites (red leicester, soft cheese and mature cheddar with jalapenos andn spices coated in bread crumbs).

The round one was literally dripping in oil in the oven so I had to soak it off.

As expected the round one was tasty because of the cheese while the star shaped one was tasteless despite there was some cheddar in it.

Lindahls Kvarg Stracciatella

I have always wanted to try the Lindahls Kvarg range which is made of Quark so I got the Stracciatella to try.

Quark is creamy just like Greek yoghurt but I found it more like curd.

Overall, the chocolate pieces complimented it nicely but the quark was just too thick and creamy for my liking.
