Milka Raspberry Cream

-

So, in an attempt to start off this blog, here we have the Milka Raspberry Cream, which I discovered in a local Polish shop. It's a while since I ate this bar, but as I recall it was very, VERY sweet.

I presume it's intended to be a Polish-only edition as there is no English on the back of the wrapper (but there is on the front, strangely). I can't help but wonder if this bar had a different recipe to regular Milka bars, because the sweetness totally overpowered any taste of chocolate.
The raspberry sauce was very artificial tasting; the kind of flavor those cheap kiddies juice drinks used to have. And the "cream" pretty much just tasted of sugar.

My verdict: Give this a miss, unless you're a rare snacks hunter like me :)

    A brand new blog- good luck Kev!

    I've never seen the Milka Raspberry Cream before, but I think i'l be giving it a miss if I encounter it in the future...

    I think they do a Strawberry Yoghurt flavour too, so perhaps that might be a better bet.

      Cheers Dave! :)

      I've tried the Strawberry Yoghurt version, which was MUCH nicer I have to say. I hear there's also an elderberry cream version in white chocolate, which sounds intriguing if not sickly!

    I am a big fan of Milka but I think I would give this one a miss too if the raspberry is a bit cheap tasting. I love raspberries but I hate it when they are made to taste too sweet or artificial!

    Loving the new blog, keep up the good work

      Thanks Hannah :)

      Yes, raspberry seems to be one of those flavours that often ends up tasting cheap, unfortunately. I had a box of Black Magic recently and the raspberry parfait in it was horrible!

    It's actually available pretty much everywhere in Eastern Europe. You may be right about the different recipe. I don't know what Milka bars you get in the UK and I cannot say I'm 100% sure about this, but I also have the impression that our Milka bars are sweeter than the German Milka imports some stores occasionally get.

    For me, the raspberry sauce was the only part I liked about this bar, even though it was thinner and did feel more artificial than the limited edition bars they launched this summer. Those actually had something that was more like a jam with tiny pieces of fruit, but there was less of it vs more sweet milk cream and I didn't like that.

      Glad I'm not the only one who thinks the recipe is different! The Milka bars we get in the UK seem much creamier and richer in taste, so I suppose we are lucky to get the German imports.

Pringles Salted Egg Review

Another weird snack and this time it’s Salted Egg Flavour Pringles! These are apparently popular in other parts of the word so maybe not as weird as they may seem to us Brits... and they’re actually not so bad! Not as eggy as I expected - I had visions of an awful gaseous pong coming from the tub, haha! - but just a slight salty egg flavour.   If you’re curious, find them from www.gbgifts.co.uk (gifted).

Asda Tinned Banana Blossom Review

-

Recently, I spotted a totally new vegetable/fruit (not sure which it actually is!) in Asda called Banana Blossom in a tin. It was next to the tins of Jackfruit which is a well known vegan meat alternative. I assumed it was a similar thing so happily bought some to try - it’s £1.50 a tin. The image on the wrapper looked innocent enough - battered fish pieces, only vegan! Surely this stuff must be good? Turns out that packaging was very misleading because nothing could prepare me for the horror that was lurking inside...when I opened the tin it was like opening something from a horror film, discovering the mouldy body of an ancient alien creature or other such evil. It looked hideous!! “Surely this is not meant for human consumption?!”, I thought. Heck it’s not even suitable for bird consumption....I think flies would even turn their nose up at this thing, which looked like rotten infested seaweed. When I posted this on my  Instagram  page the responses were predictably

Lidl Way To Go Fin Carre Ethical Chocolate

I recently spotted some new funky looking bars in Lidl, and instantly they reminded me of Tony’s Chocolonely bars, the ethical brand that launched last year donating money to helping end slavery in cocoa production. I’ve always loved the Tony’s brand and I think in 2020, more than ever, we need more ethically produced products - it should be expected, let’s be honest! So it’s always nice to see another brand like this even if it’s essentially copying Tony’s. I got the dark chocolate version to try as I was curious how it would be compared to other dark chocolates. In hindsight this was a mistake, as the actual chocolate is nothing extraordinary. It’s nice enough and good quality don’t get me wrong but it has no particular distinct flavour to make me buy it again. I’ll certainly try the other two flavours which are Milk Chocolate and Almond and Sea Salt, and I do like the chunky haphazard block design that mimics Tony’s Chocolonely. It’s a shame through that Lidl don’t just stock
