Fresh hazelnuts and Wild Hazelnuts

Discovered these fresh hazelnuts in Walthamstow so being curious I had to give them a try.
The hazelnut shell was green and lush yet hard when I bought them.
Unfortunately, I forgot to try them and the shell turned a light brown a few days later.
Overall, raw hazelnuts are delicious and I love the texture and taste which are so different to the roasted ones.
They are nuttier and slightly creamy.

Also tried some hazelnuts in shell from the market which were not as tasty as the fresh.





As well as shop bought hazelnuts, I also found some wild ones.
The wild ones had a thicker shell and they were wonky so the nuts were like fat short almonds.








ETI CIN jelly biscuits - Orange & Strawberry

I haven't tried these biscuits but they do seem good because from the videos online, it looks like there is a chewy layer topped with sprinkles on top of the biscuit with a pretty edge.
The only thing that is stopping me buy this are the sprinkles.


ülker biskrem duble kisef - ruby chocolate

I was captivated by these filled biscuits because it was ruby chocolate however the back of the packet suggests forest fruits flavour filled with cocoa cream despite the evident ruby chocolate picture at the front.
Overall, I found them very sweet with little filling and the biscuit sweetness was more prominent than the chocolate.
They were disappointing as you couldn't really taste the ruby chocolate.
I'm glad I didn't get the cherry flavour.
Rating: 2/5









Co-op garlic baguettes

At first I was not impressed with these garlic baguettes because they gave me greasy fingers when it came out the packet.
I baked them too long and they were too crispy.
The second time they tasted much better as it wasn't overdone but overall the garlic butter was not too memorable compared to other super markets.





Sainsburys lemon, cumin & coriander rice & chilli lime summer edition

As a rice lover, I was excited when Sainsburys launched the new summer editon rices that come in the colourful packets to go with the rest of the summer products. 
I got both flavours: lemon, cumin & coriander rice and chilli lime.
The lemon, cumin & coriander was practically tasteless with a strong artificial lemon smell.
Will be trying the chilli lime soon.






Co-op Garlic and cheese flatbread

Overall not a bad garlic and cheese flatbread but you have to bake it thoroughly.

Jammie Dodgers Cherry Burst

As soon as the new jammie dodgers cherry burst were launched I just couldn't wait to get my hands on them but farm foods didn't have it them.
Finally found them at another farm foods branch.
On their own, I really enjoyed the chewy cherry in the middle, although artificial but I liked it.
Hopefully they are here to stay.
I also paired it with @coopuk cherry bakewell ice cream.

Anyway I was so chuffed I finally got them and they tasted as good as I expected.
They are currently 3 for a pound at @farmfoods_uk and I am deeply regretting not getting 3 packs.
You can mix and match other jd flavours.
