Iceland £1 Mealtime favourites - fish Pie and toad in a hole reviewed

I was at Iceland again to see if there were any new finds and spotted these £1 Mealtime favourites.
The choices were impressive from ready meals to pies and burgers.
What's not to love.
In the end, I got the toad in the hole and fish pie for lunch.

The toad in the hole was amazing especially the sausages which were not bad as it didn't have bones or chewy bits.
Adding bisto gravy took it to another level.
It was even more delicious because I mixed the regular bisto gravy with bisto chicken gravy and it was so good. 




The fish pie was bland as expected but that was okay because it's good for people on a low sodium diet and also I got to try this artisan salt from Isle of Skye which has seaweed in it hence a match made in heaven.
These bland fish pies could be rebranded as low sodium meals for people on a low sodium diet. 
There isn't much fish in it but it was only a pound.




Went back again and got the battered fillets , crispy potato slices and beef pancakes.
The battered fillets were not bad but were bland so all you have to do is just add salt but at least they had a fishy taste.
I felt that they battered fillets were made of chunky fish offcuts reformed into a fillet shape.
The Crispy potato slices taste like McCoys Crisps before they ditched the flats so they were quite nice. 
The crispy pancakes taste like Birds Eye pancakes but again a bit Bland and not much minced beef as expected. 






Went to another branch and there was a bigger variety of the pound range snacks so I got my hands on the lamb and mint pies and cheese & mushroom crispy pancakes.
The cheese & mushroom crispy pancakes were seriously good tasted like the childhood minus the stringy chewing gum mozzarella.

The lamb and mint pie was tasty but a little disappointing because the carrots were raw and crunchy, other than that it was ok.


£1 finds:














Dalstons real Pressed Pineapple & sparkling water

I love Dalstons drinks because they taste natrual.
This time I got the pineapple which I knew I was going to like.
It was very nice and sugar free but still sweet because of the grape juice.
Having it room temperature it was sweeter and whilst not a sweet chilled.

New Rokit mighty matcha latte [Can]

Grassy and coconutty





Border Viennese whirls and butterscotch crunch

The Viennese whirls were crumbly and buttery while the butterscotch had a hard crunch with butterscotch pieces.


Foody Free oat chips

You've all heard of hummus and lentil chips.
But now you can get OAT chips from Hungary.
Tasting the chips, they had a hard coarse crunchy texture with a strong potato taste.
Looking at the ingredients it contained potato flakes as well but not sure on the ratio to oats but potato is listed first.






Sainsburys taste the difference oat smoked Scottish salmon

A bit oily, salty as well as fishy.
Gravadlax is much more nicer in my opinion
