Tesco Finest Lemon, Belgian White Chocolate & Lavender Desserts

-

Whilst I was at Tesco one Sunday an announcement came on the speakers about reduced items in the chiller aisle. So of course, everyone in the store practically ran there to pick up some bargains, and in the mad rush I just about managed to snatch these "Lemon, Belgian White Chocolate & Lavender" desserts before anyone else got them!


The desserts come in plastic pots with a layer of white chocolate dessert at the bottom and a fruity lemon compote on top.

I'm mostly going by memory but what I remember most is that they were gorgeous! The white chocolate dessert was exceptionally creamy; with fresh double cream and white chocolate. It was similar to Cadbury Pots of Joy White Chocolate but much better quality. The lemon compote on top was very fresh and zingy, complimenting the white chocolate layer beautifully. The only issue is that I couldn't really taste any lavender. If it was there it must have been very mild!

Overall, these are delicious desserts, although I'm not sure if Tesco still sell them or not. I've seen similar ones with Senga Strawberry which may have replaced them. If anyone knows or has tried either one please let me know in the comments!

RATING: 8.5 out of 10.

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If you've sorely missed Cadbury Dream White Chocolate since it was withdrawn from UK shelves many years ago, fear not, it's going to be back for Summer, albeit in a colder form - yes, ice cream!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