Milka Erdbeer/Strawberry Chocolate Bar Review

-

Whilst out doing some post-xmas bargain hunting recently I chanced upon this huge slab of Milka Erdbeer or "Strawberry" in a local discount store. They were being sold for £1.50 per 300g bar so I really couldn't resist...especially since it looked suspiciously similar to a certain Dairy Milk Strawberries and Creme from last Summer!


There was no English writing on the wrapper but it was pretty obvious it was a strawberry cream filled bar. Opening the wrapper, the chocolate had a slightly dusty "bloomed" look to it - perhaps due to being close to the best before date. Splitting it in half, the filling looked very similar to the Dairy Milk Strawberries & Creme:


And it tasted like it too, albeit a bit sweeter and creamier. The filling was smooth and creamy with a slight yoghurty tang, whilst the Milka chocolate was rich and milky. The best before date was for the end of January but despite this the bar still tasted pretty good!

Overall, this was a fantastic bargain for the price and if you happen to spot one in a discount store I would definitely recommend giving it a try. It's pretty much exactly the same as Dairy Milk Strawberries and Creme so if you were a fan of that bar then chances are you'll enjoy this!

RATING: 8 out of 10.

    Yes, this was lovely. I stocked up on a few of these bars earlier last year from Pound land, The version I bought included the English translation of the ingredients etc..I found these bars to be less sweet tasting, therefore less sickly and easier to eat than the Cadbury Strawberries and Crème

      I agree, definitely less sweet and sickly! And wow...what a bargain for a pound!

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
