Jammy Wheels Minis by Aldi!

Only got these Jammy Wheels Minis because they had a star in the middle.
The biscuits were quite messy, the jam from the top was sticking to the other biscuit on top of it.
The biscuits themselves are quite wonky where the top and bottom are not the same size.
The taste was ok but the jam isn't as chewy as the original and the biscuit is too damn soft!!




Aldi Nutoka biscuits

First came nutella biscuits, then something similar called McVities Bliss and then Nutoka biscuits by Aldi!
Having tried nutella biscuits, I didn't get the impulse to buy the Bliss biscuits but fell for the Nutoka ones because they have star patterns on them.
To be honest, I was a little disappointed because they filling lacked hazelnut taste and it was quite sweet.
The biscuit itself was a bit too hard and distracting.
It's like the biscuit texture and filling are having a fight and not getting along together!







Sainsbury potato scones

Again, it is always worth going to a super super Sainsburys store if you have access to one because they always stock more variety!
Picked up some potato scones at this store which are similar to Potato cakes.
The scones are much thinner compared to the cakes and have a firm chewy texture whereas the cakes seem softer.
Overall very tasty with some marmite and butter.



Gefen chicken instant noodle soup

I love trying instant noodles and Gefen was one that I rarely come accross so decided to try it out.
According to the label, this product is imported to Canada, made for the USA in Singapore!!!!
Interestingly, it contains no MSG as boldly labelled but in the ingredients you will find SG.
Overall, I wasn't quite impressed because you can really taste the polystyrene cup and white pepper.





Life Water

Life Water, a brand that uses locally sourced British spring water which reduces transport costs and saves on CO2 emissions.





Babbone Rossu limonellu at specialty fine food fair 2022

I was given a bottle of this limonellu at the specialty food fair where they had a booth.
At the booth, there were 4 flavours: original, vanilla, mint and strawberry.
Made with water, untreated Corsican lemons 24%, unrefined organic cane sugar and that's it.
It is a bit like lemon liqueur but  non alcoholic.
I found it a very bitter tasting lemon drink which you can drink on its own as a aperitif or dilute it like old fashioned lemonade.
Great for mixing in cocktails and stuff.
I like the bits of vanilla seeds in it even though you can't really taste it.





Sainsburys chocolate cherry crown

It's cherry showtime this part of the year!
Sainsburys now have this chocolate cherry crown delicious which is a must try but sadly only some stores have it.
Basically it has chocolate folded into the four crown corners with cherry filling in the middle.
The cherry filling is a bit like compote with a light consistency but overall a must try because what can go wrong with chocolate and cherry.
