Milka White Chocolate

-

Whilst at WH Smith recently I noticed this "Milka White Chocolate" near the self-service tills. I haven't had Milka's white chocolate in years (since I last visited Germany, infact) so I was very happy to see it.

I'm not sure if this bar is exclusive to WH Smith but I haven't seen it in any supermarkets. I should point out that it's made in Germany, and not to be confused with the Polish white chocolate Milka found in import stores. Apparently German and Polish versions of Milka products taste different, with the Polish one being inferior.

Opening up the wrapper the bar smelled very milky and sweet, a little similar to Milkybar infact.


Taste-wise it surprised me. I was expecting it to taste overly sweet but it was actually quite creamy and had a distinctive flavour all of its own. It was still very sweet, of course, as most white chocolates are, but there was a certain "something" that made it enjoyable to my tastebuds. There was a definite vanilla undertone. It reminded me a little of Milkybar, but perhaps not quite so sweet.


Overall, if you're a fan of white chocolate and can tolerate the sweeter mass-produced stuff like Milkybar, I would recommend giving this Milka white chocolate a try. It makes a nice change and is a decent bar of white chocolate for a mass market brand. It costs around the same as Milkybar too, which is usually £1 in most shops.

Price: £1 at WH Smith.
Ingredients: Doesn't state if suitable for vegetarians.
Allergy Advice: Contains milk, whey & soya.

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
