ONIX super natrual orange fruit from Marks and Spencers

ONIX the super natrual orange fruit is stocked at M&S so I got one to try.
They have these quirky streaks on them which looks like an eye as well as the xbox thing with a dull purple and the usual passionfruit colour.
It is interesting that ONIX has its own website about it and how it's magical like sight hynotist, spell of taste, Body protector and juicy soul.
Well! It just tasted like an orange but to be fair, I don't really eat fruit so it has the properties that it should have!
Worth trying if you like trying things for the one off sake.

African Bitter Kola Nuts

African Bitter Kola Nuts.
These bitter kola nuts which visually look like Brazil nuts were so different to the Kola Nuts I previously tried.
The bitterness is different and the texture is different.
First the smell and bitterness was more like ginseng.
The structure of this was a bit like a yam with stems in the middle which ooze with thick liquid when sliced in half.
Anyway, tried it for the sake of trying it and the liberty of being able to get hold of it.
If you google it, there are health benefits just like other things.

[Australian] Heinz Big Eat All Day Breakfast Can

There are not many breakfasts in cans out there so I was really lucky to get the Heinz Big Eat All Day Breakfast from Austrailia.
I didn't have any expectations because Aussie stuff is always on the sweet side.
In this can, you get sausages, tomatoes, beans, sausages, potato, bacon and mushrooms.
Compared to Hunger Breaks All Day breakfast, it was so much nicer that I ended up finishing the can except the sausages because the texture and taste was weird and mushy.
Other than that, I was really impressed you get chunks of diced tomatoes but the mushrooms were barely traceable!
Overall, tasty as it was sweet but not too sweet and the texture of the beans were not too soft.

Hungarian Tiszai halaszle Fish soup by Hazias Izek

Seriously good Hungarian tiszai fish soup.
You get huge pieces of fish just like the picture.
It was enjoyable being able to eat soft fish bones.
The texture of the fish was soft and gelatinous which is so different to other canned fish products which are firm and mushy.

Tiger Nuts review

Tiger nuts are so delicious.
They need to be soaked for a day to be edible.
When you eat them, it is like eating fresh coconut with stuff to spit out.
There's no harm swallowing it but it feels rough.
The taste is sweet and creamy so blending it with some milk and cinnamon would make a lovely drink.




Lidl Batt Brown sauce

My regular greasy spoon had the Lidl Batt Brown sauce so I got to try it.
It was surprisingly nice, I loved how sharp it was and it didn't have that annoying mince pie spices like the original.





Evil Snacks crunchy oyster mushroom chips

Evil Snacks crunchy oyster mushroom chips.
I love the freeze drying technology because it brings you textures not possible with frying.
Imagine a 100% crunchy oyster mushroom.
These crunchy oyster mushrooms are coated in a light batter.
Without the coating it would probably break in the packet and the coating has flavouring which makes it tasty.
There are three flavours: Zesty Thai (Tom Yum), Sour Cream and Original.
Zesty Thai and the Original are probably the best.
The Sour Cream was a total disappointment as it was sweet and didn't have any sour cream to it.
I would be angry if I was Polish or Russian because the Sour Cream flavours does not deliver as well as Eastern European sour cream snacks.
The original was ok but on the sweet side so Tom Yum is probably the tastiest but lacked some tang which can be fixed with lemon or vinegar.
For all flavours, there was no umami at all as labelled.
Would love to see a Salt and Vinegar flavour or Cheese for the UK market.
