Recently I was sent some of the new Limited Edition Kettle Chips Baked Camembert & Oak Smoked Garlic to review, which is certainly the welcoming sight at the end of a long, cold day! I have to be honest, Camembert is not a cheese I've tried before, so I had no idea what to expect from these. The crisps also came with a Camembert cheese dish, which isn't particularly edible so I won't be reviewing that...I'm sure it will come in handy though!

The crisps have been launched for the Winter season and are the brainchild of Kettle Chips chef Phil Hovey, who says: "I chose this winning combination which has been enjoyed during Winter nights for years - rich and gooey, creamy French Camembert enhanced by the tantalizing depth of oak smoked garlic".

I have to say, I think Phil is right to choose this flavour; these are some delicious crisps! They're pretty full on with a strong yet creamy cheese flavour, and every crisp is generously coated. I couldn't stop eating them once I started. The garlic adds a nice pleasant aftertaste that thankfully doesn't overpower the cheese.

Overall, these are some tasty, great quality crisps - as always from Kettle Chips - and make for a perfect indulgent snack for the Winter months. They'd probably go down quite well with some turkey sandwiches over Christmas!

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
