Tesco finest Rich and Sweet Steamed duck buns

Spotted these citrus looking Rich and Sweet Steamed duck buns at Tescos so I thought I'd them a go even though I'm not a fan because they are always too sweet.
I felt that these were worth trying because it is unusual for a duck filling as well as being paired with tangerine be it authentic Chinese or inspired.
The instructions are 1 minute but 30 seconds was already sufficient with my microwave.
To my surprise, they were fantastic and even better executed than some so called hotels/fine restaurants in Asia which failed to deliver when they tried to serve some contemporary buns.
First, the duck filling was visually and texturally like the mince you get in cottage/shepherds pie with some carrots.
The buns were really tasty that I ate four in one go because it was meaty but not too sweet.
The tangerine taste does not come off as syrupy sweet nor is it bitter but it a faint aftertaste but a bit stronger when the buns have cooled down.
Overall, the minced duck meat is moist and it was just delicious as a whole.

Pukka All Day Breakfast Slice

Who doesn't love a proper English breakfast??
I just had to get my hands on this breakfast slice which is just that.
To my knowledge, only Morrisons bakery have done the breakfast slice and the Greggs one is just beans and cheese.
The Pukka Breakfast Slice is described as an All Day Breakfast Slice with Baked beans, potato, sausage, smoked bacon and mushroom all wrapped up in puff pastry.
Definitely up my alley as it has everything as well as mushrooms ad potatoes.
So how did it taste?? To be honest, every bite was lush!
Although it wasn't well filled but it was seriously tasty as it was more savoury in taste than sweet which I wasn't expecting because I thought the beans would make it sweet.
The bacon pieces were more like cubes of ham and overall, it was like having a creamy breakfast slice if you know what I mean in the sense like a creamy mushroom slice but with breakfast filling.
I couldn't quite find the sausage pieces but you can taste it because of the herbs.
The bits of mushroom here and there really took it to the next level so definitely getting more and hopefully getting my hands on the Ladbaby Pukka Christmas Pie.

Flint Grenki snacks (Polish)

To be honest, I don't know what came first? toast chips, rye toast chips or bruschetta chips.
But all these have one thing in common and that they are delicious and the flavours delivered.
The bacon toasts are seriously like Smiths bacon fries and the bacon horseradish is even better, you can really taste that horseradish with a saltiness.
The horseradish one also tastes a bit like wasabi.
In terms of texture they have a really HARD crunch especially the rye toasts.
You can even get red caviar/crab flavoured rye toasts which I really want to get my hands on.

The Laughing cow light with blue cheese

I contemplated a while whether to get this or not because this is more like a processed cheese product.
The last time I bought this brand was for the Laughing cow Blends - Chickpea and cheese.
Anyway, got it to try as I dont often buy cheese triangles.
Somehow I was expecting specks of blue in it but there wasn't.
It just tasted like the regular cheese triangles with a hint of blue cheese.
Will try and get my hands on their latest plant one.






Just Drink taro bubble tea

Too sweet and I just don't like the weird Konjac pearls be it any pearls.







Sainsburys on the go chicken with pork, sage & onion stuffing sandwich

Simplistic but nice sandwich where you get chicken breast slices, mayonnaise and yummy stuff.
Visually not quite appealing as the filling just looked like a white creamy blurb and not defined.







Heinz tomato ketchup pickle flavour

This seriously tastes like the moment you put the McDonalds hamburger in your mouth when trying the sauce on its own.
When applied to a burger it was like you had gherkins evenly throughout without the texture of the gherkin.
What I found interesting is that the sweetness of the tomato ketchup really comes through so you don't get any of the sourness from the pickle.
So those who like gherkins will love this.
Those who pick out the gherkins are best to avoid this!!
