EatReal Lentil Chips - chilli & lemon flavour

I have always wanted to try EatReal snacks but their bags are really big which made me hold back getting them.
Anyway, I was given some EatReal Lentil Chips - chilli & lemon flavour so finally tried them.
Basically they were quavers with a hard crunch.
Couldn't quite taste the lemon but it was quite fiery and salty.





M&S Spiced Pumpkin spice yumnut review

I love yumnuts by M&S and this time they did a pumpkin spice for halloween which is a doughnut covered in sugar glaze topped with spiced orange coloured fondant.
The spiced fondant was really nice as it was light yet you could still taste the nutmeg and cloves.
To accentuate the spices, I added some extra M&S pumpkin spice seasoning would was really tasty.
On a wild note, the yumnut looked like sushi salmon with wasabi!





After Halloween, they were reduced to 37p which was a bargain but I suspect they could be previously frozen as I could not find any the day after Halloween but found some on the 2nd November.







Soda Folk Jam Roly Poly Soda & Custard drink review

The Jam Roly Poly soda was 3 quid from Sainsburys.
Although not gifted, I have been meaning to get this drink because the flavour and everything sounds good.
The media gift posted by frukgram was really pretty especially with the UK and US flags.
Jam Roly Poly represents the UK dessert while the Key Lime soda is the American dessert.


I don't normally bother with sparkling drinks but you will find me drinking them if they are made with natural ingredients, natural colourings and absolutely no artificial preservatives or sweeteners. 
All their soda is gluten-free and vegan-friendly.

It was really difficult trying to get these sodas because every Sainsburys I went to didn't have them.
Finally found one that stocked it.
The drink was sweet to the nose but not too sweet for the palette.
The taste reminded me of Hartleys jelly but the custard aftertaste but a bit like solvent.
However after chilling it, there was no unpleasant aftertaste so it turned out to be a really nice drink.

Ginsters new bakes- Mac and Cheese and vegan bombay potato spinach review

Ginsters are famous for Cornish Pasties and Steak slices, it used to be enough but to stay in the game they have come up with all these new bakes as well as vegetarian options.



The new bakes are: Cajun Spiced Chicken Bake, Mac & Cheese Bake, Philly Cheese Steak Bake and Harissa Spiced Chicken Bake.
As a Mac and Cheese fan, the Mac and Cheese had to be my first choice.
I heated it in the microwave for 1 minute and then put it in a halogen oven to get the pastry crisp and flakey.
I was quite surprised I liked it.
It wasn't really cheesy but you can really taste that macaroni.
When you cook macaroni, you have this really distinct mac smell and taste and it was exactly that followed by a slightly cheesy taste from the sauce.



Tried the bombay potato spinach as well but I found it too fiery for my palate otherwise it would have been ok.




Also for Christmas, they are doing the Festive Chicken & Stuffing Slice which I really want to try as well.

Krispy Kreme new Decadent Desserts range - Billionaires Cheesecake Doughnut & Black Forest Doughnut

Krispy Kreme has done it again, right after Halloween they have launched the new Decadent Desserts range.
The two new doughnuts are the Billionaires Cheesecake Doughnut and the Black Forest Doughnut.
Clearly the Black Forest was the one for me with choco cherry filling with cherry fudge and white chocolate curls.
It certainly did not disappoint because the chocolate cherry filling was not too sweet with a lovely tartness.
Most importantly the doughnuts were fresh so it was heaven.
The Billionaires cheesecake is filled with caramel cheesecake filling and topped with chocolate crisp pearls.









Morrisons Chocolate Orange Trifles

It's the chocolate orange trend at the moment hence there are so many chocolate orange treats.
Morrisons are doing the chocolate orange trifle which comes in a pack of three.
I liked the visually distinct layers of orange, chocolate and cream.
Overall it wasn't bad but not good enough that I would want to finish the other two.
I felt that the orange was a let down because it was a bit sweet and veered towards the orange peel which is bitter and not as zesty as the orange itself.



Müller strawberry shortcake

Muller is famous for pots of yoghurt with a separate corner called Muller Corners.
There is a fruit compote series or crunch corners.
Normally you get yoghurt but the reason I tried the Strawberry shortcake was because it was strawberry yoghurt.
The Strawberry shortcake is a classic British flavour with tasty and creamy strawberry yogurt complemented by crunchy white chocolate coated shortcake biscuit balls on the side.
