Ben and Jerry's One Sweet World Ice Cream Review

-
ben and jerrys one sweet world

There's been a lot of Special Edition Ben and Jerry's varieties out recently in the UK...from Empower Mint, One Love, Totally Couch, Sofa So Good, and that's not to mention the seasonal Limited Editions like Minter Wonderland and Save Our Swirled. It's enough to make you dizzy...and eat a tub of ice cream to cope with the stress of it all! ;)

One variety I was very excited by was this One Sweet World Special Edition: it contains "coffee caramel ice cream with swirls of marshmallow and salted caramel and chocolatey chunks". There it is again...that elusive salted caramel that is being added to every product in existence right now!

This tub cost me £4 at Tesco as it wasn't on the usual half price offer, but I didn't mind since I was so eager to try it. It's suitable for vegetarians, gluten free and fair trade too. Money from sales of this variety goes towards funding community projects in Europe, hence the name.

Opening the lid it had a pleasant milky coffee aroma, and looked like the perfect slightly melted consistency to tuck in straight away.

I scooped a generous amount into a bowl...there were chocolatey chunks clearly visible, as well as the marshmallow and salted caramel swirls.

Salted caramel!
Taking a mouthful, I first noticed the sweet coffee flavour...it was mild and milky, but for an ice cream the flavour was just right. Sometimes coffee can taste a little harsh when paired with ice cream but here it's blended perfectly with the cream. The salted caramel brought some welcoming buttery goodness, and when I could find pockets of it, the marsmallow brought a lovely sweet mallow flavour. Finishing it all off were the chocolatey "&" pieces, giving a nice cocoa crunch to break up all the sweetness.

Overall, this is defnitely one sweet ice cream, they've got the name spot on! Whilst it is mostly varying sweet flavours, it never feels one dimensional and all of the different elements bring a unique flavour and texture to the tub. The coffee ice cream is the perfect backdrop for it all, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy one of these again if I see it on offer. It's a nice variation on similar Ben and Jerry's combos like Phish Phood.

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
