Sainsbury's Taste The Difference Swiss Pistachio Milk Chocolate

-

When I bought this "Swiss Milk Chocolate with Pistachio" bar from Sainsbury's recently I wasn't expecting much. I don't know why but I always assume most supermarket brand chocolates are much poorer versions of what companies such as Lindt produce, but at a cheaper price. The only difference that piqued my curiosity with this bar was the fact it contains pistachio, which is an uncommon flavour amongst most mainstream chocolates.

Opening the wrapper, it looked rather plain and unassuming, although smelled very nutty and delicious.


Cutting into it revealed something a bit more exciting. Each blocked contained a whole pistachio atop a layer of pistachio praline cream:


It tasted very delicious. The chocolate was smooth and rich, and the praline cream was rich, nutty, and very addictive. The crunchiness from the pistachios made it even more so. It did get a little sickly after one two many blocks, but I still enjoyed it a lot. It's probably one for sharing rather than gobbling all to yourself, as I often do!

Overall, I would highly recommend this bar if you like nutty chocolates, it's excellent quality for the price and just as good as brands such as Lindt.

Price: £1.39 at Sainsbury's.
Ingredients: Suitable for vegetarians.
Allergy advice: Contains milk and nuts.

    I love Sainsbury's chocolate but I haven't seen this one yet. I will need to purchase some for the hubby as he loves pistachios.

    I love this chocolate too much! My local sainburys seems to not be restocking it. M&S do one that is identical but costs 30p more.

    Been trying to hunt this chocolate down as M & S did one with "New" on the wrapper. Only found it in outlets, I must have bought their entire stock and cannot find any in their stores so to find out there is one by Sainsburys is great.

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
