Fantastic Mr Floss candy floss maker

Automated candyfloss making machines are not new.
The most basic ones were around decades ago cost a mere pound but these few years you can get candyfloss machines which spin out different designs like flowers by layering and shaping.
The FantasticMrFloss machine offers many choices for a fiver so choosing one with different colours and a design is a must so chose the flower bouquet!
The machine had a glitch so the final product looked a bit wonky so it must be fixed!
Although I fixed it a bit with my fingers before eating it.

St Ewes eggs

On my supermarket trips, I was drawn to St Ewes eggs because of the egg box and the design.
The super eggs were interesting but not quite sure how super they are but managed to try the rich yolk egg which indeed as a bright yolk colour and had a strong taste.

Breaded cod fishcakes by Amazonfresh

Who doesn't love fishcakes.
This time I tried Amazon which was different but probably made by Morrisons manufacturer judging by all those Morrisons products they stock.
It wasn't bad, I loved the fishy taste along with parsley.
I also smashed one with cheddar and put it in the microwave with a fried egg on top and it was so delicious.




Tilda tasty sides

Tilda were giving away free sides at Liverpool Street so I was given two packs to try.
There are four flavours: Mexican Faiita, Indian Black dhal, thai green curry and Chinese black bean.
I got to try the Mexican Faijita and the Chinese black bean.




I tried the Chinese black bean which was seriously good if not better than the takeaway because it was different in a way.
The water chestnuts had this delicious sweet crunch which works here but not in authentic Chinese dishes.
It was a bit too spicy for my palatte because it was the cajun type of spice but it was so tasty which you can think of it like black bean chilli con carne.
Fermented black beans is an ingredient for stir fries so its very different to the black beans which are not fermented but overall it does taste of fermented black beans for that Chinese kick.
This side also reminded me of Brazilian feijoda and Jamaican rice and peas when eaten with rice.
Overall delicious.



The Mexican fajita basically tasted like a vegetarian chilli con carne with sweetcorn









Aldi Lemon curd buns

Aldi now have these new iced lemon curd buns and jam filled iced fingers.
When I first saw them they reminded me of Marks and Spencers.
Not a fan of lemon but tried them anyway.
They were not as well filled compared to another snack reviewer on the first bun.
Sliced the second which was similar but had a bit more filling.
Apart from that, these buns are delicious and the curd is like the quality curd in the m&s lemon meringue.











Ginsters new breakfast roll and butter chicken bake

Ginsters have launched two new products, the breakfast roll and butter chicken bake.
The Breakfast roll is basically a sausage roll with British pork sausage meat, potato, smoked bacon, scrambled egg and tomato ketchup, encased in light puff pastry.
On first bite, you could really taste the bacon and the smokiness, then it was the black pepper.
After another bites, it was a lot of crunchy pieces of fine potatoes which made it feel like a pasty.
I suppose I did get some scrambled egg but overall it didn't make me think of breakfast, I felt like eating a baconey pasty because of the black pepper and potato.
The roll felt really waxy because I could feel this waxy coating on my tongue at the end so had to wash it down with some tea.
The butter chicken bake was so different and nice.
It was really comforting and tasted like old school curries even though it tasted nothing like a proper butter chicken.
