M&S Steak and chips pie (gastropub rich and hearty)

M&S Food does not disappoint and time it was the steak and chips pie.

It was basically a really satisfying pie filled with decent chunks of beef in this rich gravy with an interesting nice sweetness to it.

Then you have the chips and melted cheddar which takes it to another level.

A bit pricey but you probably won't find a pie as good as this in a restaurant and everything is central kitchen these days so you might as well get this from M&S.

FLAWSOME pressed wonky fruit + sparkling water

I love real fruit and sparkling water so Flawsome was definitely up my alley.

There was apple and cherry and sweet and sour apples.

For the sweet and sour apples I was really impressed you could taste the red apples.

The apple and cherry was also good because I like cherries.

Nice Tech WOW Pineapple Just Fruit

A bit early for summer but real frozen pineapple is delicious!!

I was given this at the IFE2022 expo.

Basically a flawless and healthy snack.

 

Prodigy Eat no Evil chocolate

Vegan chocolate can be a hit or miss because of the sweetness and the ingredients used to make it.

I didn't have any expectations for Prodigy chocolate but it is now one of my favourite vegan chocolates because it is unsuspectingly vegan.

The chocolate had a good snap to it and the sweetness was just right.

Although it is made with coconut, there was no coconut taste to it which was good because not everyone likes chocolate.

After trying the roasted hazelnut and the chocolate bar, I felt that they were both good but the roasted hazelnut was really fragrant and not too sweet so I definitely recommend it.

They also have a dark chocolate with sea salt bar which I believe will taste nice.

wawel fig chocolate (figa z pomarańczą)

I love trying filled chocolate especially when it is an unsual flavour.

Was given this chocolate by a friend, I wasn't sure what it was as I can't read Polish but it looked like a chestnut but it turns out to be delicious fig jam inside.

Food Connections cherry bakewell muffin

I love anything cherry bakewell so when I saw this cherry bakewell muffin at the corner shop I just had to give it a go.

It is labelled as an almond flavour cherry muffin with white chocolate flavour topping and a milk chocolate flavour drizzle.

The muffin part was really good loaded with cherries and it had a subtle almond flavour.

However the only thing I did not like was the waxy white chocolate topping.

I am gutted I missed their booth at IFE because they were there according to their instagram.

BANG BANG Popcorn and SOMER's Gourmet Popcorn

The Kohlico brand which are famous for KO LEE noodles have popcorn as well!!

They were at IFE2022 so I got to discover their popcorn range and the staff were really nice and gave me some noodles and popcorn samples to try.

I must admit, I like their sweet BANG BANG popcorn range which is colourful and matches the noodles.

The Gourmet popcorn range is savoury with flavours like tomato ketchup, BBQ and sour cream.

Their popcorn is air popped which gives it an overall nice rounded shaped and great texture.

As a savoury snacker, I really enjoyed their savoury gourmet popcorn range
The BANG BANG popcorn range was bang on for me as it was not overall sweet with a light coating.

BANG BANG Popcorn review:

Butter & coconut: I felt that the butter coconut was the sweetest of the four but the coconut flavour was really fragrant.

Salted caramel: The salted caramel is a clearly our favourite.

The sweetness was just right with an indulgent caramel flavour.

White chocolate: The white chocolate was impressive as it tasted creamy with a lovely vanilla flavour.

Chocolate: This was another favourite of mine, it was like eating cocopops in popcorn form.

SOMER's gourmet popcorn review:

Smokey barbecue, Tomato ketchup and Sour Cream & Chive.

Tomato ketchup: 

I love ketchup so this had to be my favourite one and it was so moreish

Smokey barbecue:

I loved the barbecue flavours which was savoury as well as sweet.

Sour Cream & Chive:

The sour cream flavour was interesting and it actually worked well on popcorn.

Overall, I definitely recommend them because there is a flavour for everyone!
