Mister Choc Chocolate Coated Sunflower Seeds (Lidl) - Quick Review

-

When I discovered these chocolate coated sunflower seeds in Lidl I was very excited, probably more than anyone should be about sunflower seeds. Because I've never tasted chocolate coated sunflower seeds before, ever! They sounded like the perfect snack...


They were in a loose plastic bag with a seal around it, making them very easy to pour into your hand and munch loads at once. And that's exactly what I did!

They were extremely moreish. They were toasted and crunchy, with a lovely nutty flavour that went well with the milk chocolate. The chocolate itself was creamy and sweet, and balanced out the savoury flavour of the seeds perfectly.

Overall these were a surprisingly delicious snack and made a nice change from chocolate coated nuts or raisins. I would highly recommend giving them a try!

RATING: 8 out of 10. 

 Price: They were around 99p. Unfortunately I'm not sure if Lidl still stock them...if anyone has seen them recently please let me know in the comments!

    Wow, I'll be in Lidl during the week - I will see if I can find these bad boys, then try not to eat the whole pack ;)

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If you've sorely missed Cadbury Dream White Chocolate since it was withdrawn from UK shelves many years ago, fear not, it's going to be back for Summer, albeit in a colder form - yes, ice cream!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
