The Department of Taste at FENWICK

I love gems and food so these edible emeralds had my name printed on them!
This is probably my first purchase at Fenwick where I had to make a special trip to one of the branches because the one in central London is gone.
This curious collection of confections contains four mystery flavours which are revealed when at the cabinet where you choose one and try in the sensory room of green lights and lasers!
You place the jewel on the light, experience the smoke and indulge on the edible emerald when ready.

There are four flavours: 
Rhubarb, Pear & Blueberry
Earl Grey & Sorrento Orange
Strawberry & Champagne
Juniper & Lychee

To be honest, they are all nice in different aspects so I bought the box which contains all four.
Although they don't have the sugar coating, they reminded me of fruit jellies and York Fruits.

The Department of Taste locations and dates:
Fenwick Kingston 8 - 20 October, 12pm - close
Fenwick Tunbridge Wells 11 - 16 October, 12pm - close
Fenwick Bracknell 18 - 27 October, 12pm - close

Ginsters smoky beef chilli pasty

Well filled and tasty.
Cute packaging and barcode.








Sainsburys taste the difference pumpkin spiced latte pots

You can think of them like an autumn pumpkin trifle with layers of pumpkin sauce, gingerbread sponge and fluffy mascarpone cream.
Sweet, spicy and bitter.










Batchelors Pickled onion crisp Flavour Super Noodles

Move over Monster Munch pickled onion mayo, its time for pickled onion noodles!
I love pickles and sauerkraut so had to get my hands on the new batchelors pickled onion noodles which were found in b&m stores.
They also have chilli lime which I tried last week but I found them too spicy. 
They certainly had that pickled onion smell when you peel the lid back and it also has a few pieces of sweetcorn.
As for the taste, it was a little strange at first because it tasted like chemical sourness so it was a bit artificial in taste but you get used to it.
These are not the first tangy noodles I've had because the Poles have a lovely sauerkraut instant noodle while the Thai's have tom yum etc.

Ginsters limited edition bbq pulled pork slice

Ginsters limited edition bbq pulled pork slice bought from Sainsburys today.
Didn't check expiry so didn't realize the use by date was yesterday.
Anyway it was sweet and artificially smoky.






Sainsburys pear and butterscotch yoghurt (taste the difference)

Not too sweet or tangy with lovely pear tones and butterscotch pieces.







Snickers kesar pista from India

Bought this green pistachio snickers thinking it was pistachio but there were almonds in it as well.
When I unwrapped it, the state of it was horrible just like the chocolate you get in Hong Kong that have been in a hot environment.
Anyway, the taste wasn't really impressive and tasted like the chewy nutty thing from Quality Street.
