Whittard Rhubarb White Hot Chocolate Review

-

I'm a big fan of Whittard's hot chocolate range, and white chocolate too, so when I saw this unusual-sounding rhubarb variety in my local Whittard of Chelsea store, my curiosity got the better of me. They also had a Strawberry white chocolate flavour as well as Lemon Meringue, which I didn't go for as this sounded like the weirdest of the lot and I just had to know - how does rhubarb and white chocolate taste together?!


Turns out the combination works very well! The sour tanginess of the rhubarb was subtle and somehow went really well with the creaminess of the white chocolate, although it was very sweet. It was very delicious though, and had a lovely smooth, comforting taste. As you can see in the pic above I added some marshmallows on top of the hot chocolate, which went with it perfectly!

Overall, a successful and unique hot chocolate flavour that actually works. This variety has won a "Great Taste Gold 2011" award, which apparently is quite a big deal! You can find these in Whittard of Chelsea stores or on their website here, they do a lovely variety of flavours:

    I've only recently tried Whittards Hot Choc as it's quite expensive. They really are fantastic though and worth it for an indulgent treat. Their Cinnamon Hot Choc is divine.

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).

Cadbury Dream Ice Creams - back for Summer! (UK)

-

If you've sorely missed Cadbury Dream White Chocolate since it was withdrawn from UK shelves many years ago, fear not, it's going to be back for Summer, albeit in a colder form - yes, ice cream! Dream Ice Creams have been in shops sporadically for several years now (including a Strawberry variety that was exclusive to Farmfoods) but finally they're getting an official release just for the Summer, yay! It will be sold in major supermarkets in packs of three, and impulse sticks will cost £1.80 from convenience stores. Maybe Cadbury are testing the waters to see how popular they are...who knows, maybe the proper Cadbury Dream bar may be resurrected if sales are good! You can already find Cadbury Dream ice creams in Fultons Foods , a Northern based frozen food store if you're lucky enough to live near one (there's a store finder in the link above). I'm not sure if they sell imports or the official UK version, but here's some I spotted in there recently:

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
