Harvey Nichols mini mince pies

Christmas is all about mince pies and Christmas puddings!

What I like about Harvey Nichols mini mince pies is the size.

The dinky little mince pies have a lovely buttery pastry filled with traditional mince.

Great for any party.

Mini Doughnut from Mleczko

I love doughnuts so I was tempted by these cute mini ice doughnuts at Mleczko.

The icing had a lemony taste and they were surprisingly filled although the jam tasted a bit weird.

Overall, I didn't quite like it because the taste and texture wasn't to my liking.

However it wasn't bad for the price 67p.

Mantinga mini curd berliner balls filled with cherry from Lithuania

On a recent visit to Upminster, spotted these berliner balls at an European grocery store.

As they were filled with cherry I had to try them.

Unfortunately, the texture of these balls were weird and nothing like doughnuts or even cakey.

The cherry flavoured filling was artificial.

Harrisons Sauces

As well as food, I love trying different sauce.

This time came accross Harrisons sauces because my local pizza shop had them.

On the Harrisons instagram account, there are more flavours which I would love to get hold of.

The ones I had access to were: Chilli, Sour cream and chives, BBQ, Garlic & Herb, Garlic & mayo.

The sour cream and chives was interesting, it was really nice as it tasted strangely like McDonalds filet o fish sauce but not the conventional sour cream and chives

The chilli was also nice in a different way, it was like a really tart bbq sauce without the sweetness and some spicy aftertaste.

M&S Orange Candy Melon

I love M&S because they will always have some special fruit varieties every now and then.

This time it was the Orange candy melon.

When I bought it, it didn't feel ripe as the overall melon was quite hard but I decided to tuck into it.

The melon was really hard when I put my knife into it so the mouthfeel texture was crisp with a crunch but not too juicy,

Although the texture didn't seem ripe, the taste was really sweet and sugary similar to Hami Melon which is also orange inside.

Looking forward to other specialties fruits.

punchy drinks

I got these drinks a while ago from bcorp and were saving it because I knew they would be good.

The combination and flavours sounded amazing.

There was Peach ginger & Chai, blood orange, bitters & cardamon, cucumber yuzu & rosemary.

The orange was surprisingly good as well as the cucumber.

Definitely would buy them again.

KIRKLAND Mini pastry assortment 30 pack

Contents: mini pain au raisin and mini chocolate twist.

Finally tried their bakery because someone bought some.

They look cheap but taste ok however you can taste they are not the good quality type!

For a 30 pack, I would have expected three different varieties rather than just two different pastries which seems odd being called an assortment when there are only two choices.
