Eat your own words at Cadburys pop up Mean Tweets shop

Until the 26th of March, you can head down to SOHO and try the new plant based almond chocolate bar for free.
Each bar is wrapped with negative quotes to convince people to try for themselves and turn the negativity into positivity.
There is a tree where you can remove the negative tweets which is a seed card with a positive one and take the card home and plant it.
I tried the smooth chocolate which was good as expected.
Previously I tried the salted caramel when it came out but was not impressed because of the crunchy caramel pieces were distracting and too sweet.











Biggest hot cross bun (Giant Brioche Hot Cross Bun) available at UK Aldi stores and online from 27th March.

Size matters!
From 27th of March, you can get the biggest hot cross bun in the UK from ALDI!!
Basically it is a giant brioche hot cross bun measuring 8 inches.
Other exciting new flavours: Strawberries and Cream and Cheddar Cheese and Caramelised Onion.


PASTILITE sugar free Apple treats

Attended IFE2022 and discovered this wonderful brand called PASTILITE.
Their goals are sugar free treats made with apples.
Tried the meringue pieces which were probably the healthiest meringue I have tried because they are made with apples and egg white.
Some apples can be rather sweet which is useful in this case of making meringues.
The meringues taste just as good if not better because you can really taste the fruit in it.

I also tried the baked apple dessert which are cakes slices, again without any sugar and they are flourless.
The texture of this cake is interesting because it is like chewy squidy soreen.
You can literally taste real apple fruit in the cake because of the apple fibres in your mouth like when you eat the fruit.
Overall, I can see myself snacking on these with tea.
Currently, there are three flavours and the apple cinnamon is my favourite.






 

Tarwi Lummus aka houmous at IFE2022

Attended IFE2022 where I was bowled over by another houmous variant called TARWI Lummus which is made with Lupis beans hence Lummus!
Just like houmous, they also have other flavours like Beetroot, sundried tomato, regular and herbs.
The original one was really impressive however it does taste slightly different to houmous in the sense that it is more savoury than sharp.
Sampling all four flavours, Sundried tomato and the regular were my favourites followed by herb and then beetroot because it was a bit sweet for my liking.
Compared to chickpeas, Lupin beans have more fibre and protein.


Henderson's Relish at IFE 2022

Attended IFE2022 and finally got to try some Henderson's Relish which is a nice sharp sauce similar to Worcester.
I have always wanted to try this but not many places stock it down south.


Joe & Sephs at IFE 2022 and vegan dark chocolate slab

I love Joe & Seph popcorn so I couldn't resist in trying their wonderful popcorn range at IFE2022.
There were so many flavours like the Easter range as well as apple and cinnamon and cherry bakewell.
Tried the cherry bakewell and it was truly delicous because you could smell and taste cherry bakewell.
I was also given a vegan dark chocolate slab which is basically a slab of popcorn drizzled with vegan dark chocolate.
The dark chocolate was surprisingly good and tasted like a good quality dark chocolate which took the popcorn to the next level.










The best gift sets and ideas at Kimm & Miller

I love gift sets especially when food and drinks are involved.
Festive seasons are the best because you can find so many gift sets at Boots, Primark etc.
It is always uplifting when I see gift sets that have products I can relate to!
Over the festive period, I discovered that so many gift sets are by Kimm & Miller especially my favourite Marmite, pot noodles, coco pops, Tabasco sauce etc.
It must be so fun to work there with all these lovely things.
After the festive period, you can still get their products online on AMAZON (Link below) and look out for giveaways on their instagram as well!!

I managed to get some goodies from Kimm & Miller which can all be found on Amazon.
Saving my favourite Marmite last, I started with the Mocha sugar free syrup which worked really well on black coffee.
For Mother's day the mug and hot sauces were both equally good.
The hot sauces were moreish and the design is really nice.
The mug cake was really easy to execute and it tasted as good as a freshly baked cake which only took 5 minutes to make!
The gin mixers are a delight with 5 equally nice flavours: rhubarb ginger, elderflower & lemon, Rose flower & raspberry, passionfruit & pomegranite, cinammon & apple. 









If you have been reading my posts, you will know how much I love marmite.
Absolutely love this mug!!
Initially I was going to do Marmite soldiers but decided to have poached eggs on marmite toast instead.
