McVitie's Jaffa Cakes Mini Rolls - Berry Burst & Tropicool Flavours

I haven't seen these on shelves yet but since you can freeze them I presume they must be new flavours for Summer. I love the idea of frozen mini rolls, and a tropical flavour of jaffa cakes sounds awesome. I can't wait to try these!

Cawston Press Rhubarb Drink

To wash down those fruity mini rolls there's this equally fruity apple & rhubarb sparkling water from Cawston Press, which I'm sure will also be perfect for the warmer months! I have this chilling in my fridge and can't wait to taste it!

Dr. Oetker Fine Cooks' Chocolate

These 150g Dr Oetker bars have been made especially for baking - the dark chocolate version contains 72% cocoa solids and the milk version contains 35%. I'll be sure to test these out on some of my culinary creations soon...watch this space!

Go Splash Energy Lightning Red

Go Splash Energy is a sugar-free water flavouring that can be used to make flavoured energy drinks on the go. It apparently makes 30 200ml glasses, and contains caffeine plus vitamins B3, B6 and B12. No doubt this is handy to squeeze into a bottle of mineral water whilst out and about..I'll certainly be giving it a try!

Mornflake Superfast Muesli & Granola Pots

These Mornflake "superfast" pots come in Raisin, Almond & Honey Granola and Fruit & Nut Muesli varieties, and only require cold water to produce the milk...how handy is that?! They're perfect for an on the go breakfast and come with a handy spoon under the lid. 

Keogh's Atlantic Sea Salt & Irish Cider Vinegar Crisps

These salt and vinegar crisps from Keogh's are gluten-free as well as being hand-cooked on the Keogh family farm in Ireland. They have a "Spud Nav" on the pack to tell you exactly which field they came from, the variety of potato used and even who cooked them! Try beat that Walkers! They're also available from Tesco in the World Foods section. 

Lindt Lindor Milk Chocolate Bars

We all know and love Lindor truffles, but now they come in a bar too! These are very handy for carrying around to enjoy with a cuppa or just a bit of portable indulgence!

Clearspring Miso On The Go Soup

These miso soups contain sea vegetables and fermented soya, and are suitable for vegans. They're very easy to prepare - just add to a mug with hot water. Perfect for a lunchtime snack!

Crabbie's Raspberry Flavour Alcoholic Ginger Beer

Made with special ginger shipped from the Far East and flavoured with real Scottish raspberries, this ginger beer is very refreshing indeed! Crabbie's use a secret recipe and steep their ginger for 8 weeks before blending with raspberry. This beer is Gluten Free.

Overall:
Well I have to say I'm surprised and very impressed with this selection of goodies from Degustabox. There's such an interetsing, unique and eclectic range of products that you'll never be bored with any of this, and it all goes together really well. Most of the items would be perfect for a camping trip or picnic, or any outdoors activities really. I was particularly pleased with the Jaffa Cakes mini rolls as I've never seen them anywhere! A big thank you to Degustabox for sending me this box.

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
