Sibberi Birch Water Review

-

Coconut Water was the big health trend of the last few years...but now it seems waters from other plants want to muscle in on its watery territory. You can now find the likes of Nopal Cactus Water, Maple Water, Bamboo Water and more in the likes of Boots or Waitrose, and joining the ranks is this Sibberi "Clean & Lean" birch water. This is a drink tapped from pure silver birch trees, is high in antioxidants, low in calories and contains only naturally occurring sugars.

But how does it taste?


Well, it's surprisingly sweet despite being quite light, and doesn't really taste of much other than the sweetness. It's not bad, and quite thirst quenching, but I did find it an odd drink. I would drink it again if offered, but I'm not sure I'd seek it out especially. 

Overall, not a bad "healthy" drink, and more palatable than some of the weird tasting coconut waters that are doing the rounds these days, but I'm not sure I can see it becoming an all-conquering superdrink.  

For an interesting read about Birch Water check out this article from The Guardian...it seems that quite a lot of effort goes into producing this drink! 

7.5 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).

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
