Müller Rice Salted Caramel Review

-

Salted Caramel seems to be the "in thing" for new snacks this year, there's been quite a lot of them, most notably Galaxy Salted Caramel, plus various ice cream varieties. Now Müller are getting in on the act with this new Müller Rice variety.

Being honest I haven't had a Müller Rice in yeeeeeears, it's one of those things I've never been much a fan of. I love rice pudding, but cold rice just doesn't appeal to me at all. However the lure of sweet, salty caramel lured me in!

I wish it hadn't. It reminds me now why I never liked Müller Rice in the first place...cold, sloppy rice pudding does not a luxurious dessert make!


Diving in with a spoon I was surprised to find the rice was lightly caramel flavoured. It had a slightly "off" taste, almost savoury. I assumed that was all there was, but there was also a salted caramel flavour sauce lurking at the bottom of the pot. And it tasted horrible. Rather than a sweet, buttery salted caramel, this was overly salty and almost savoury, without the sweetness to balance it out. I managed to choke down the rest of the pot but it wasn't a pleasant experience.


Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little, but I really didn't enjoy this Müller Rice very much. The balance of salt and sweet is off, and cold rice pudding isn't a good match for salted caramel anyway. Still I'm sure this flavour will be very popular, at least while the current salted caramel trend continues...

RATING: 6 out of 10.

Price: 68p at Asda.
Suitable for vegetarians?: Yes.
Allergens: Dairy, egg, maize starch.

    I'm a massive fan of muller rice (both hot and cold!) and just had to try the new flavour as soon as it came out. Safe to say it was absolutely disgusting, both hot and cold. It was far too sweet for my taste (and I can handle the sweetness of say, even Milkybar) and it clashed terribly with the savoury rice. I don't think I've ever tasted something so revolting!!! :(

      Thanks for the comment Jessica, glad I'm not alone in disliking this! It really doesn't work at all does it.

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 pr...

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...
