Tesco Finest Lemon, Belgian White Chocolate & Lavender Desserts

-

Whilst I was at Tesco one Sunday an announcement came on the speakers about reduced items in the chiller aisle. So of course, everyone in the store practically ran there to pick up some bargains, and in the mad rush I just about managed to snatch these "Lemon, Belgian White Chocolate & Lavender" desserts before anyone else got them!


The desserts come in plastic pots with a layer of white chocolate dessert at the bottom and a fruity lemon compote on top.

I'm mostly going by memory but what I remember most is that they were gorgeous! The white chocolate dessert was exceptionally creamy; with fresh double cream and white chocolate. It was similar to Cadbury Pots of Joy White Chocolate but much better quality. The lemon compote on top was very fresh and zingy, complimenting the white chocolate layer beautifully. The only issue is that I couldn't really taste any lavender. If it was there it must have been very mild!

Overall, these are delicious desserts, although I'm not sure if Tesco still sell them or not. I've seen similar ones with Senga Strawberry which may have replaced them. If anyone knows or has tried either one please let me know in the comments!

RATING: 8.5 out of 10.

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
