Morrisons all butter croissants (packet)

I didn't really have any expectations on these croissants because they felt hard when I took it out the bag.

The problem was solved and made a bit better by putting them in the microwave for 10 seconds and then in the oven if you want them nice and flakey.

Overall, I was hungry so they were ok.

 

Kingsmill 50/50 bread

I know it sounds silly but I really thought that you get half a loaf of white bread and half brown but it turns out that it is white bread with hidden wholegrain wheat in it.

I love bread and carbs so I was fine with the wholegrain wheat being unoticable.

fresh & naked lambs lettuce and salad mix

Got these fresh & naked salad leaves from the supermarket.

These need to be washed because it says so as I almost mistook it for saying washed.

Anyway, I love Lamb's lettuce because the texture of these leaves which remind me of spinach.

M&S oozing garlic doughballs

If you like garlic bread, then you are certainly going to love these doughballs that will ooze with garlic butter.

The amount of garlic butter filling is so generous that I used the toast hack and got extra garlic butter toast out of it.

The garlic butter is definitely the star of the show because it has a good salt and garlic balance without being too overwhelming.

Maryland Peanut Butter & Jelly / Birthday Cookies review

The birthday cookies and peanut butter & jelly cookies by Maryland were launched last year hence it has taken me some time to try them out.

Maryland cookies come under the Burtons Biscuit group as I found out at the food expo.

These are chunky loaded cookies.

The birthday cookies are bascially loaded with colourful candies which look like smarties.

I found the birthday cookies too buttery for my liking in taste.

However the peanut butter & Jelly were memorable as the jelly bits were hard and become chewy.

The flavour with peanut butter is interesting and the chocolate chunks balance it out so that the peanut butter doesn't taste that odd.

Visually the jelly is not visible like the picture but there was quite a fair bit of it when you eat it.

Seabrooks Ready Salted, Prawn Cocktail & Beef Flavoured Crisps

Seabrooks is one of those underrated crisps so I decided to review it as well as Golden Wonder.
I got one of each flavour as they don't have small assorted bags.

Ready Salted:

It was really tasty but I was expecting the salt to be stronger.

Prawn Cocktail:

I think they are possibly the only flavour that are crinkled.

Anyway, there was an interesting fishy smell but the flavour was full on and had so many dimensions from ketchup to prawn cocktail.

Beef:

I was expecting the crisps to have a dark seasoning but they were quite light in colour.

Overall, a nice savoury taste like gravy but I was hoping for a more beefy or stronger taste.

 

M&S Plant Kitchen VLT sandwich & No lamb shawarma wrap

For Veganuary 2022, M&S have launched two new items to the grab and go section.

These are the VLT and No lamb shawarma.

Visually looking at the VLT, the vacon looks like the same stuff you get for the no pork streaky bacon launched last year.

It is labelled as wheat and protein rashers with vegan baconnaise.

Reading the ingredients, I was really surprised to see things like orange, peach, hibiscus and black carrot.

As for the taste, it was like eating a really tasty ham sandwich with tomatoes and lettuce with a really punchy sauce.

The vacon inside the sandwich looks like it just came out of the packet ie not fried or anything so I believe the chilled one from M&S does not require cooking either so you can just eat it like that.

After all, it is plant based and most of it is made from wheat so I think you can eat it like that.

Overall I would really recommend this but I think they could have added some crispy onions or something crispy to give it that bacon mouthfeel.

Also tried the No lamb shawarma wrap which is labelled as no lamb shawarma on a soft flatbread with garlic dressing and tomato chilli sauce.

I warmed it up and little and it was really tasty because of the dressing and it had quite a spicy kick.

The spiciness and taste was similar to one of the M&S Curries.

Overall recommended but I prefer the VLT sandwich.

For improvements, I feel that the chip sticks should be in a separate sachet to keep them crisp while they are at the shops.
