Cherizena Banoffee Pie & Almond Amaretto Flavour Coffees Review

-

Sometimes, I get cynical about new products and say so on my Twitter account. That's what happened when I heard about this new Banoffee Pie flavour coffee from Cherizena recently. I'm so used to flavoured coffees tasting artificial and chemically that I've become unimpressed with the flavoured coffee market.

Cherizena saw my tweet though and offered to send some samples of their coffee to prove me wrong, and proven wrong I was! These Cherizena coffees are delicious and actually do their respective flavours justice.


The Banoffee Pie variety tasted realistically of cream, bananas and caramel all rolled into one, without any nasty chemical taste, and the flavour didn't feel like an afterthought either - it was forefront and didn't play second fiddle to the strong taste of coffee. It was a tasty synergy and made for a lovely experience, and I felt like I was drinking more than just flavoured coffee. Cherizena, you proved me wrong - your banoffee pie flavour coffee is lovely, and I take back what I said on Twitter!

RATING: 9 out of 10.

The Almond Amaretto flavour was also very delicious with a lovely amaretto almond flavour, which again like the banoffee pie variety didn't play second fiddle to the strong taste of coffee. It went with it very well, providing a lovely synergy of flavours, tasting realistic and not at all chemically.

RATING: 8 out of 10.


Overall, these two coffees from Cherizena were lovely and prove that flavoured coffee isn't always a gimmick and can actually taste of what it's supposed to! If you're a fan of flavoured coffees or just fed up with ones that promise a lot but don't deliver, I highly recommend giving these a try!

Note: I used Aroy-D coconut milk with these coffees as I'm becoming a big convert to using it instead of cow's milk, and it made for a lovely rich coffee, perhaps even better than with regular milk!

    oooh this sounds good. The only Banoffee flavoured coffee I've bought was just as you say, horribly artificial and funnily enough quite bitter at the same time. This one sounds much nicer!

      Yes unfortunately they all seem to be quite artificial don't they. This one really surprised me!

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
