M&S Rhubarb chunks (Canned)

I love rhubarb so have been looking around for canned rhubarb which led me to Prince's, Sainsburys and M&S.
In the end, I decided to get M&S because I was hoping that the M&S one would not be too sweet.
Instructions on the can say you have to reheat it but I had it straight from the can.
I thought there was something wrong with my can opener but it seems that I'm not the only person here according to a review on ocado.
The top was impossible to open so I turned it upside down and opened it from the bottom which was easier.
Other than that, I was surprised there were big chunks of rhubarb in the can yet the texture was not woody.
However, the can was half filled.
Anyway they were really tasty straight out the can and delicious with ice cream.

M&S Luxury Gold shortbread flavoured tea

M&S food joins the biscuit tea game following Yorkshire's first biscuit tea followed by Aldi.
Overall, I felt that the Shortbread tea was weak on flavour but the tea base was good.
I was expecting a buttery taste because it was shortbread but it was the same flavour but weaker than the Yorkshire biscuit tea which was sweet in smell and decadent to drink.
Anyway, it was still a good tea as it was the Luxury Gold blend.
Priced 2.50-2.65 depending on store location.

O-Li Salted Egg Fish Skin - Original 鹹蛋黃香脆魚皮

The idea of fish skin and salted egg is a match made in heaven but with Asian snacks you always get this sweetness.
O-Li Salted Egg Fish Skin is slightly better than other brands like Salted Duck and Irvin's because it is not as sweet.
So I enjoyed the fishy crispy fish skins flavoured by the salted egg yolk.
Just like the other brands, you will also find curry leaves in it.
In terms of packaging, I felt it had the best design apart from looking a bit weird being headless!
O-Li is a Malaysian brand of snacks.

Fhirst living soda

Discovered DOLCEAMARO at the Specialty fine food fair along with many other drinks.
Fhirst had a vibrant look with some fun flavours.
Overall, they were nice but I didn't like the sweeteners used.

DOLCEAMARO Gluten Free treats

Discovered DOLCEAMARO at the Specialty fine food fair where they have lots of treats that are gluten free.
The Cuorenero brand features gluten free donuts and macarons while Papa has these decadent Dragees & Chocolate.
I was attracted to the Dragees because I love nuts and chocolate especially when they had ruby chocolate.

The dark chocolate almond pistachio was addictive so was the ruby chocolate, both had whole almonds inside.
The cherry was a pleasure as you get a whole cherry inside.





The macarons have two box styles, one with an appealing clear window so you can see the macarons and the other one looking classy.
Although, they were gluten free the macarons tasted how it should ie Sweet!







Italian Gluten free doughnuts.
To be honest, I thought these were Korean because of the packaging but they were Italian.
I loved the way, they were individually packed which make it convenient.
Overall, you can think of them like ring shaped cakes pistachio icing and crispy sprinkles.

CEDRATA polara lime drink

Discovered this Italian brand of soft drinks when I visited this pizza place where they had Myrtle a variant similar to orange.
This time I tried lime which was rather sweet but would love to try the green tangerine.




Happi oat milk Choc

It is good to see another brand of oat milk chocolate at Specialty fine food fair.
I felt that the taste of Happi brand was similar to Hipp.
For Christmas, they have Candy cane flavour and gingerbread as well as Chocolate bombs.
I was really impressed by the marshmallows because they tasted just like regular ones as they were unsuspectingly vegan!!
The salted caramel was really nice and tasted like the hipp salted caramel.
