Wilkin & Sons Tiptree onion relish

Tiptree is a well known brand in the UK, as well as jams they make great relishes.
Their onion relish is really punchy and goes really well with cheese.


Sainsbury's Rough oatcakes

Oatcakes are similar to crackers/biscuits but are made with oatmeal which nakes them a healthy snack.
As well as being healthy, they also taste good in my opinion.
I tried oatcakes on their own and they were really tasty as you can really taste the oats.
They go well well with cheese which makes them versatile.
Oatcakes come in various thicknesses, the one I got from Sainsbury's were thin which were to my liking as it makes them light to eat.
I paired the oatcakes with some creamy cheese and the taste was amazing.




Sainsbury's chocolate & cherry melt in the middle puddings

Chocolate and cherry can never go wrong and in the form of a pudding was fabulous!
The cherry sauce inside was beautifully tangy complimented by that rich chocolately sponge.
The only problem was the sponge itself was somehow too soft or the base was too thin that when you microwave it the sauce bursts out.
It makes me wonder why it is called melt in the middle when clearly the filling is a sauce which is already in liquid form anyway.
Apart from that, I totally recommend this!

Minor figures oat matcha latte

How could I not try an oat based matcha latte when I spotted the Minor figures oat matcha latte.
I was impressed by the flow of nitrogen that was released the moment that it is opened which create a silky microfoam on top like beer.
The matcha was smooth and earthy and pleasant to drink.
It was not sweetened hence right up my alley.



If you open the can, you will find a widget at the bottom of the can which activates the nitrogen when you open it.

Masghati sweets from Iran

I was given these Masghati sweets from an Iranian friend.
Looking at them, they are like chewy pieces of squares studded with nuts and berries.
The main ingredient is starch which attributes to its chewy textuire.
After trying them, I felt that they taste like Asian chewy sweets especially the ginger one.
All of them were not bad but too sweet.
I felt that the ingredients label was a bit random because there are some ingredients which you can visually see like barberries, rose petals that are not listed.

antonius caviar at specialty fine food fair 2022

Who doesn't like prized Caviar delicacies.
antonius caviar from Poland does some fine caviar which I got to try at the Specialty fair.
There was the Siberian and the Oscietra.

The Siberian had a short lingering taste in the mouth and was like a salty burst while the Oscietra was much creamier with a lingering aftertaste.
Overall, I liked the Oscietra but the Siberian would come in handy when you have some bland canapes that need a salty kick.
Ideally, caviar should be served on a mother of pearl spoon which does not transfer any flavours but due to health and safety they used plastic spoons which does not affect the caviar as much as metal.



Superbon crisps (Potato chips)

I love crisps so I was so glad I got to try the Superbon Crisps brand at the Specialty food fair.
These are crisps made in Madrid with various flavours.
My eye were drawn to the Seaweed and Cretan herbs.

The Seaweed was really impressive especially the colour and all that seaweed coating on it.
I loved the flavour which lets you appreciate the seaweed taste and not overly salty.
Asian seaweed crisps are awful, they are just sweet and loaded with msg.



The Cretan herbs was also memorable as it has a good mix of different herbs that excite your tastebuds like dill, fennel and mint which you don't normally find mixed together.
