Aidan fruit and seeds of selim

As well as food I love getting my hands on interesting things.

This time I got some aidan fruit and seeds of selim from the local African shop.

Seeds of selim are meant to be a African pepper according to the net which I shall try later.

Aidan fruit (perkese) is a dried bean which is similar to starfruit in shape.

You can get them whole dried or grounded powder.

It is said to help regulate blood sugar levels, Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, Lowers blood pressure, Boosts the immune system, Weight loss and anti-aging properties.

M&S D'eclair my Love raspberry eclair

For some reason, it reminded me of their best ever eclair.
Anyway, loved the name of this as it suited the occaison perfectly well however I found the eclair too soft to handle.
The cream and raspberry didn't balance quite right so it was not in harmony.

ASDA Toffee Bakewell tarts

I seem to find ASDA products a hit or miss and the toffee bakewell tarts were a miss for me.

They looked so captivating so I had to get them but unfortunately I found them too sickly and the pastry was too thick.

The presentation has changed, it used to be decorated with a square piece of fudge in 2019 for 85p and now it is decorated with candy for 1.

Ambrosia ready to eat porridge review

My favourite Premier Foods have launched Ambrosia ready-to-eat porridge pots available in Original, Raspberry, and Golden Syrup flavours, with the range rolling out this month.

Asda was the first to stock them but it has been hard trying to get them at various branches and it seemed that they were not stocked for long.

I spotted the raspberry but I was after the original so I waited because the original would be good to see how it tastes.

Finally got the original and I was so glad I got it.

Although it was expensive I really liked it because in this day and age, it is hard to cook up a bowl of porridge.

The Ambrosia version was thick and creamy at ambient temperature, if you warm it up a little it won't be as thick.

Tried it ambient and warm and I preferred it ambient and adding jam or chocolate shavings to it made it taste amazing.

Angel Delight ready to eat indulgent pots

 As well as the regular ready to eat Angel Delight pots flavours, you can now get Chocolate & Salted Caramel, and Butterscotch & Chocolate flavours as well as the strawberry, butterscotch and chocolate!

Meridian Toffee Apple Almond Butter

I have been meaning to try the Meridian Toffee Apple Almond Butter but at 3 quid it was a bit expensive.
It was available at Aldi for 1.99 which is still pricey however I decided to still give it a try.

Unfortunately, I did not read the reviews on Tescos which said it was weird.

Sadly, it wasn't to my liking as there was no apple or toffee taste and it was just strange.

Other spreads in the range:

Pumpkin seed butter and cocoa and hazelnut butter.

M&S Love cue (heart shaped cucumber)

The Love Cue is back, somehow it was launched in 2020 but I missed it!

Anyway, the heart shaped cucumber is back for 2022.

As well as heart shaped cucumbers you can also get heart shaped lemon slices but I prefer cucumbers as you can eat them as well as garnish dishes with it.
