Sainsburys on the go Turkey samosas

When I saw these Turkey samosas, I liked the festive vibes how they used turkey instead of chicken which is fail proof.
Turkey easily passes off as chicken if you use the correct parts.
Overall, these turkey curry samosas were to my liking because you get that curry kick with the peas and potato followed by the chunks of turkey.

Just like mint sauce with samosas it would have been nice with some sweet cranberry sauce.

Not related to this review but some crafty restaurants buy reduced turkey after Christmas and serve it as Chicken hence a busy time for inspectors and lab technicians.

M&S Food Turkey, bacon and Sage soup review

Spotted this festive Turkey, bacon and Sage soup which I had to try because I love bacon and sage.

I was blown how delicious this soup was.
Although cabbage is not the main star of this soup, the pieces of cabbage in this was comforting.
Overall, I really enjoyed this soup because of the sage flavour and saltiness coming from the bacon.
I would definitely buy this again if they have the big size.

M&S food gingerbread milkshake 2022

M&S have launched these decadent milkshakes for a while now, but I haven't tried them until now because of the Gingerbread milkshake.
I took a sip and I was literally in heaven.
The milkshake was so moreish, it was thick but not overly thick and silky.
I loved the sweet cinnamon flavours which did not linger.
The sweeteners they used were very pleasing unlike some artificial ones that sting your throat.
On the ginger side, it was not fiery but more on the gingerbread flavour like you get in gingerbread cakes.

Ambrosia sticky toffee flavour rice pudding review

I love rice pudding hence I was really looking forward to trying this new flavour.
Tried it cold as well as warm.
Personally, I liked it cold because it was more flavourful and you can really taste the toffee while it was less creamy.
Having it warm, the rice pudding tasted cloyingly sweet with a nice creaminess however the texture was nicer and not clumped together.
Overall, I really enjoyed this even though you could only taste the toffee notes.

Birchall teas review

Discovered Birchall teas the speciality food fair and my favourite had to be the great rift ie strong breakfast tea.
The rest were too aromatic although the green tea peach had a strong green tea base followed by a strong peach aroma.
I believe their teas are popular in Asia since there is Asian language at the back.

Good & Proper Teas review

Discovered Good & Proper teas at Specialty food fair.

I sampled the Earl Grey and Jade tips and felt that their teas were quite strong so you don't have to steep the tea bags for long.

Sainsburys Cherry, rum & coconut mince pies with morello cherry

I though these cherry mince pies were new because of the NEW word but it turns out that they are not if there are already reviews on these in 2021.
In terms of taste, they are a nice alternative to mince pies.
The sweet rum flavour really comes through as well as the cherries, however you do get a strong aftertaste with the spices.
The coconut chunks on top were quite nice and give you that roasted flavour.
Overall, they were nice to start with, but the spices can get a bit overwhelming if you don't like them.
