Royal Oreo Custard Dessert Mix Review

-

B&M Bargains sell some unusual stuff. I've found Meerkats Jellies, Jellyatrics, Nestle Holiday biscuits and Orange and Mint flavour After Eights there, amongst other things. They're always turning up something new and interesting - usually imported - so I wasn't really surprised when I spotted this "Royal Natillas Oreo" custard dessert mix there recently. It's basically just a packet of custard with a packet of chopped up Oreos to mix in...but at 39p a box I could hardly say no!

I'm not familiar with the "Royal" brand but it appears they are owned by Kraft Foods. The writing on the box was all in Spanish but the instructions to make the dessert were on a sticker with an English translation.


I did my best to make the custard according to the instructions, but it proved difficult as they'd been badly translated. I ended up with a watery, lumpy custard. Luckily the crushed Oreos saved it somewhat, but it still tasted far from amazing.


Overall, this Oreo Dessert is a bit of a gimmick really - anyone can crush Oreos and add them to custard, so the two needn't be sold together. If you're a fan of Oreos you might want to check these out, but otherwise I wouldn't recommend them.

Price: 39p a box at B&M Bargains

Have you tried these Oreo Custard Desserts? If so what did you think?

      Thanks Erin! :) If you get a chance I would still give these a try - the main problem really is they need quite a lot of milk to make. And yeah B&M are always selling such odd products lol - as a snack reviewer I love it!

    What a great find! I know the Royal brand very well as it's hugely popular in Portugal. They make lots of jelly mixes (so many unusual flavours compared to the UK) and creme caramel type desserts, I know they made an Royal Oreo Cake Mix too that just looks fantastic. Still never managed to track that one down!

      Wow wounds like they do some cool stuff, thanks for the info Katherine :) I shall definitely look out for their jelly and dessert mixes. I've seen that Oreo Cake Mix too, looks amazing! Oh and did you know apparently there's now watermelon flavoured Oreos in the US?! I saw some on ebay and was thinking of buying some, but they cost a small fortune!

    Hi. It's a pity the instructions were not properly translated, because I have done these many times and they are amazing. Give it another go if you find them again. In any case, it's just 39p :)

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
