Thorntons Cream Scone & Jam Fabulous Fudge (Limited Edition) Review

-

Whilst in Thorntons the other day I spotted this new limited edition flavour in their "Fabulous Fudge" range and couldn't resist giving it a try. I was so eager to taste it that I took some pictures outside the store before wolfing it down! The description reads "Fudge cubes with clotted cream, crumble pieces and strawberry flavoured jelly pieces". Not exactly scones and jam... but we'll go with it!


The crumble pieces were decently sized and some were in quite big chunks as you can see in the pic above. They went well together with the fudge - it was nice having a crunchy texture to break up the chewy softness. Combined with the strawberry pieces they were very moreish and made for a fruity and interesting fudge. It didn't take me long to wolf down most of the bag!

Overall, these are an interesting Summer limited edition and make a lovely change from regular fudge. Highly recommended.

RATING: 8 out of 10. 

Price: £1.60.
Suitable for vegetarians?: Yes.
Allergy Information: Contains egg, milk, wheat, soya. May contain nuts.

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).

Cadbury Dream Ice Creams - back for Summer! (UK)

-

If you've sorely missed Cadbury Dream White Chocolate since it was withdrawn from UK shelves many years ago, fear not, it's going to be back for Summer, albeit in a colder form - yes, ice cream! Dream Ice Creams have been in shops sporadically for several years now (including a Strawberry variety that was exclusive to Farmfoods) but finally they're getting an official release just for the Summer, yay! It will be sold in major supermarkets in packs of three, and impulse sticks will cost £1.80 from convenience stores. Maybe Cadbury are testing the waters to see how popular they are...who knows, maybe the proper Cadbury Dream bar may be resurrected if sales are good! You can already find Cadbury Dream ice creams in Fultons Foods , a Northern based frozen food store if you're lucky enough to live near one (there's a store finder in the link above). I'm not sure if they sell imports or the official UK version, but here's some I spotted in there recently:

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
