Jingold red flesh kiwis from Tescos

After trying the heavenly red passion variety kiwis from M&S, I decided to try these exotic red dong hong variety from Tesco.
Visually they are nothing like the red passion.
The skin is brown green like a regular kiwi unlike the bright green ones of M&S.
Inside, it was barely red with just a shy pink to be seen.
The taste was sweet but you still had that weird taste from the seeds.
It felt like a red flesh kiwi wannabe with dominate green kiwi genes like an unsuccessful genetic mutation.
I'm lucky I didn't try this first.










Godiva Dubai Chocolate Crispy Kadayif Chocolate Tablet

Every chocolate maker is on the Dubai Chocolate bandwagon and the latest is Lindt and Godiva.Godiva is more accessible as a Londoner but Lindt specific stores are limited to bluewater, bicester etc.
Anyway got my hands on the Godiva Crispy Kadayif Chocolate Tablet one thanks to @squarecrumpets
Not my first Dubai chocolate but I felt that this one contained more chunky crystallized pistachio in ratio to the crispy kunafa strands.
Overall quite sweet.
Interestingly Cadburys have not followed yet but they have done Asian flavours like durian and pandan!!

M&S Treacle Slice by Tom Kerridge

Finally tried something in the range by Tom Kerridge.
It was a treacle slice because I like treacle tarts but it was very different and didn't quite hot the spot for me as a simple treacle tart is more comforting.
Interestingly, the treacle slice tasted like a lemon cheesecake as well as the texture which steals the show from the treacle.
Sorry to say, its good but this is more Waitrose style.










Coop cherry bakewell cake

I love cherry bakewell so had to get this cherry bakewell cake which is on offer for 2 with a members card but I didn't have one so paid full price 3.25 for it.
Overall it was nice but the problem was that everything was too sweet from the cake, icing etc that you couldn't appreciate the taste of the almond.








Korean Dried Persimmon fruit

Seemingly Korean, it has a confusing origin China/Korea from the website:

Simplyseedz apricot and cranberry porridge

I was captivated by this because of the apricots but there was not much apricot and too much seeds.
It wasn't sweetened which was good but just bland because the apricots didn't play a role in it.

Look me chocolate Dubai kunafa pistachio

Another Dubai chocolate wanabe.Dubai chocolate is basically chocolate filled with pistachio and kunafa [crispy strands].
The one I got was a cheap version, the crispy strands were too burnt.
Anyway, there are so many about at the moment with prices pumped up.
When the trend dies down expect to see the dupes unwanted like those popping fidget things.
