The courgette pea & leek sounded good so I tried that.
Unfortunately, you could only taste the peas and a hint of mint.
I could barely taste the courgettes or the leek so to summarize it was like eating pureed mushy peas.

Piccolo organic courgette pea & leek baby food
It's been a while since I reviewed some baby food so I thought I'd treat myself to some from IKEA which wasn't exactly a bargain.
M&S Plant Kitchen Victoria sponge cake
Eggless and vegan cakes these days have no excuse to not taste or look the part because there are so many quality ones about.
I was excited to try the M&S Victoria Sponge cake to see how it fares with other bakeries.
Visually it looked the part and the frosting is definitely hard and stiff since it didn't get deformed during transport and the journey home but it was well protected with card around it.
I felt that the cake texture was a little crumbly and dry compared to the regular version.
Overall it wasn't bad if you ate it normally but when you taste the elements separately it wasn't nice at all.
The thing I hated most was the chalky frosting which had a gritty sugary texture.
The sponge was ok but a little dry and all you could taste was this super sweetness.
Thankfully the jam was there to the rescue.
What annoyed me was the price which would put non plant diet people off because it was 25p dearer than the regular one.
I understand it requires more r&d and different ingredients to produce this cake but I felt that it should be the same price as the regular so that people would give it a try or pump the price more to 4 quid.

Coop egg custard tarts
Tasting it chilled from the fridge, it was just sweet.
The nutmeg taste wasn't there.
When it was warmed up, the egg custard was silky smooth but sickly sweet.

Ginsters cauliflower and cheese slice - Limited edition
I was really looking forward to this new cauliflower cheese slice so got it as soon as I spotted it at Asda.
Overall it didn't disappoint but the black onion seeds somehow masks the taste of the delicate cauliflower but you do get the lovely cheesy taste from the cheese.
Although you can't taste the cauliflower, you can visually see them but chopped finely.
The cauliflower has a crunch so the texture isn't soft boiled

Coop Irresistible Cinnamon sugar knots
Unfortunately, I don't have the box for these so used the Coop picture from their website.
Anyway, these sugar knots were nice however it was hard to eat more than one as there was so much chunky brown sugar studded on them.
It was crispy on the outside and soft like cake in the middle with a very buttery taste followed the by the sugary sweetness and cinnamon.

Morrisons Bakewell Tart
I was given this Morrisons Bakewell Tart which I gladly tried as I don't really shop there.
Apart from the lack of almond taste, the jam made up for it.
I just felt that it the overall bakewell tart was too heavy and oily that taking one bite is enough!
Dark Hazelnut popdots
I always see POPDOTS around at Coop but strangely I haven't been motivated to try them because I get the feeling they are probably dry inside covered in waxy chocolate.
Finally managed to try them as they were reduced to 49p.
They are from Spain which is interesting.
Overall, I would say the doughnut texture is the middle is a bit like brioche without the buttery taste and the chocolate covering with crushed hazelnuts were ok but the hazelnuts were not particularly aromatic.
The popdot as a whole was not too sweet but would not buy again.
