Wawel Advocaat Bar

-

Having tried a few different Wawel chocolates now, I'm starting to learn that they're not one of the best Polish chocolate manufacturers around. My experience with their Cranberry Filled Bar was disappointing, and it was also the case with this "Maciek Adwokat" bar.

I bought this because it was very cheap in Tesco; it was only 39p which is cheaper than a standard chocolate bar from most UK manufacturers. I should have known that cheap chocolate is usually a bad sign though.

When I took it to the checkout I was actually asked for ID because it contains a small amount of alcohol in it. How silly is that? Even the staff member who served me thought it was stupid!


Taste-wise, the chocolate was very sugary and cheap tasting, similar to the Wawel Cranberry bar. The filling was also very sweet but had quite a strong alcoholic tang to it. If you like alcohol-filled chocolates you'll probably appreciate this bar, but I wasn't impressed. I don't know why I even bought it considering I don't really like alcoholic chocolates...I guess I was hoping for something creamy with only a mild alcoholic edge.

Overall, I wasn't really a fan of this bar but I'm still curious to see if Wawel produce any other decent chocolates. If you've tried any and have a favourite, please let me know in the comments.

Price: 39p at Tesco.
Allergy Advice: Contains eggs, milk, soya. May contain nuts, sesame and wheat gluten.

    Hey, I recommend you go into a polish shop (polski sklep) in your local area and purchase individual wawel chocolates (which are normally near the tills. they cost around 10p and I recommend the taki-taki and malaga filled ones. There is also a strawberry milk chocolate bar which you can purchase there which is really yummy. Here is a link to the wawel site. http://www.wawel.com.pl/web/en/products/chocolates-1.html

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

-
Image
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
