The Co Op Truly Irresitible Sea Salted Caramel Ice Cream

-

It's summer, which means it's supposed to be ice cream season...yet in true British style the weather has been constantly changeable and you need a brolly with you just in case of a downpour. Still...that doesn't mean we can't enjoy ice cream right?!


I found this Truly Irresisible Sea-Salted Caramel with Cornish sea salt in The Co Op when it was on offer for around £1.75...it contains ripples of salted caramel sauce running through caramel ice cream, which contains West Country whole milk and double cream.


It was a very rich and creamy ice cream, with plenty of salted caramel goodness. This doesn't skimp on the salt yet it isn't too overpowering either...it's got the balance just right. It's a very moreish ice cream, rich and creamy, and could just about rival the big boys of the ice cream world like Haagen Dazs.

Overall, a very tasty ice cream, look out for these on the inevitable special offers over the next few months. The Co Op also do some interesting ice cream varieties like Colombian Coffee, Rhubarb and Ginger and Lemon Curd...I'd love to try the Coffee one!

8 out of 10.

    Ohhhh the rhubarb and ginger one sounds absolutely divine, I'd love to see a review of it please! Rhubarb is my fave and we don't have the Co-Op over the sea here so I'll have to live my ice cream dreams through your blog!!!

    Co op stuff is usually pretty good and nice to see them using good old West Country milk and full on double cream

    I am currently not very mobile and asked a friend to pick me up some ice cream. One of the tubs he got was the co op venezuelan chocolate and at first before trying it I was disappointed because I don't like chocolate ice cream, even though I adore chocolate. I find chocolate ice cream always very disappointing as it either lacks flavour or is too bitter but the venezuelan chocolate was divine, lovely flavour, not too sweet, not bitter and the smoothest ice cream I have ever tried. I just wish our local Co op's carried all their flavours to try especially the salted caramel but alas they don't so I shall have to wait till next time I visit my daughter England to try some. I eat ice cream no matter what month it is, or how cold the weather gets, ever since I first started craving it during my pregnancy, 21 years ago! Before then I very rarely ate ice cream and even then it would have to be a whippy 99 with the flake on a blistering hot day. In hospital my nickname was Mrs Davidson due to the amount of local Davidson's ice cream I used to eat. Quite often I had very little appetite during my 14 week stay but the staff could always tempt me to eat the ice cream.

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

-
Image
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
