Cadbury’s Roses are a selection box of ten different kinds of delicious milk chocolates, all brightly wrapped in coloured foil. I must have eaten countless Roses chocolates in my lifetime and there is not one that I do not like. You can get them in a 400g …

I have probably bought more packets of Polos than any other mints because I like the way they are minty enough to freshen my breath and at the same time because they are sweet, they taste good. I also like the way the Polo mint has an iconic …

These are lovely Hot Cross Buns from The Co-operative’s own brand and I only paid 30 pence for them as they had been reduced as they were nearing their sell by date. That is one of the good things about the Co-op and you should always look out …

Trebor Extra Strong Mints are my least favourite brand of mints although I usually accept one if they are offered to me as they are good for freshening breath. They are good at freshening breath precisely because they are so strong that I start to grimace as I …

I only have tea occasionally as I prefer coffee, but I like the odd cup as tea is supposed to be so much better for you than coffee. So I am no expert. When it comes to tea, I guess I like a medium strength tea. …

Fox’s Glacier Mints are one of my favourite brand of mints for several reasons. Firstly, they are a familiar brand that I have known since childhood, which brings back memories of the old tv commercial involving a polar bear. Secondly, I love how they look. Glacier …

When I was a girl this was known as Fry’s Peppermint Cream but it is now owned by Cadbury. This chocolate bar keeps a low profile nowadays but when I was young it was advertised on television as a slim, dark and sophisticated chocolate bar, like the lady …

I do not think to buy Turkish Delight very often as I have more preferred confectionary, but I do enjoy it now and then. When I was a kid for some reason I did not like them. I am not generally keen on any kind of sweet …

Although I generally try to eat pretty healthily - I am a fan of jacket potatoes, brown bread, muesli, dairy products - I know I do not eat enough fruit and vegetables. If I am peckish, I do not feel like eating an apple and so I would …

These plain tortilla chips from Tesco are from their extremely low-priced ‘Value’ range and you can buy a generous 100g bag for a mere 25 pence. Tesco’s Value range does have some surprisingly good items in it and I think these chips are fantastic for the price. …

I was a vegetarian for a good few years before I realised how valuable red lentils could be to me. Lentils somehow never sounded very nice and anyway I did not want to be a lentil-eating hippie like Neil from The Young Ones. The other thing that …

As I am over 40 years of age I of course think of Starburst fruit chews as Opal Fruits, their original name. Whenever there is a name change of my favourite sweets or confectionary I always refuse to call it by its new name until I have to …

Another flavor for the healthy drink for pregnant women or expectant mothers which is great because it offers a different but yummy chocolate taste. It has the same ingredients as the Original Milk flavor of Anmum Materna and the same benefits for pregnant women. But it’s a …

This is a great milk drink for pregnant women or expectant mothers because of its very healthy ingredients needed by pregnant women. It is a very high folate milk drink. What I like about it is that it tastes delicious or yummy even when I was very …

I love love this Chocolate drink! It’s fairly new in the market but it can really compete with other chocolate drink products out there. When buying this product, it’s best to read the label because you would see that it has more vitamin ingredients than other chocolate …

Milo Chocolate Powdered Drink is one of the very known chocolate energy drinks in the market. I like this product and I have been a fan ever since I was a child. It gives a very delicious chocolate taste that both children and adults would love. …

We have a lot of frozen dinners in our house just because they are convenient on days when we are rushed (which is often).
In an effort to cut back on our food budget, we decided to buy some frozen dinners from the Michelina’s brand. They were definitely cheaper, but …

My wife and I were hungry for tacos this past weekend and decided to pick up a taco dinner kit when we were at the store.
We had quite a few brands to choose from so we ended up just picking the cheapest one. That happened to be a taco …

Do you know how the orange juice tastes in McDonalds? Well, this one tastes the same. I am not very fund of either of them.
This juice comes in 2L red brick with a plastic cap on the top which you can unscrew pour yourself some juice and screw it …

One of my favorite breakfasts is the Kellogg’s rice krispies because I find its texture and sweetness just fine. I usually have it with a glass of fresh milk which I more often than not poured down on the bowl of crispy rice cereal. I guess this …

I’ve been using Betty crocker bisquick all purpose baking mix for such a long time now ever since I’ve tried making some homemade pancakes at home and I could say that life is so much easier to have this in the kitchen because I don’t have to worry about …

After having tried many other energy drinks that never provided any help, I decided to give 5 Hour Energy a try. I’d seen the many commercials advertising this great energy drink that has no sugar and no crash afterwards. I bought it at my local drug store during work …

Albertsons Complete Pancake Mix is kind of thin mix which requires larger quantity of powder for making pan cakes. This is the pancake mix that comes from Albertsons itself and comes in a bulkier pack than other brands. The price is no high. Albertsons Complete Pancake mix was got …

I used to like these instant Options drinks but I went mad buying sachets of this the last time I went to the supermarket and I am not so enamoured by them. They are only 37 calories per drink so maybe for a very low calorie hot chocolate …

I have bought these Options instant hot chocolate drink sachets when I have been dieting as they are very, very low in calories at only 34 in every drink. But when I am not trying to lose weight, I would rather get a different brand as these Options …

My mum used to buy Twiglets for us kids all the time but it occurred to me recently that I had not had them for years. So I had them for the first time after a long hiatus and I still find them gorgeous. Twiglets are twig-shaped …

Bourbons are a classic, tasty biscuit and this review is of the Happy Shopper Bourbon Creams which you tend to find in your local corner shops. Bourbons are usually the cheapest biscuits on display and I only paid 45 pence for this packet from the Happy Shopper brand. …

Walkers Quavers are delicious and they have been around for as long as I can remember. If I see anyone eating Quavers it always makes me fancy a packet and if you are a fan of cheese like me you should like them too. Quavers are technically …

Of all the ingredients that are combined with chocolate to make confectionary, wafer is my least favourite addition and I would usually prefer nuts, biscuit or caramel. But for some reason I love Kit Kats and I think it is because the chocolate is so thick that it …

I picked up these ‘Baked Beans in a Tomato Sauce’ from my local convenience store and it was their usual ‘Euro Shopper Brand’. This is an economical brand of basic grocers that I often find in that shop. I know everyone says that Heinz is best but …

Cadbury’s Fudge is only a little chocolate bar but as the advert says ‘just enough to give your kids a treat’. It is good for adults too and I like to buy a Fudge bar when I want a chocolate snack that is not too filling but just …

Since my eagerness to learn how to cook like a professional kicked in, I’ve been trying various types of fish. I’m not to the point where I can break one down myself, and I’m not sure I can at this point in time without passing out on the kitchen …

Even though I love eating at BBQ restaurants and on the go trucks, there is something about KFC BBQ wings that I’ve become loyal to. The small box of six is okay, but it’s the big box that has my stomach growling with happiness.
The reason I love KFC BBQ …

I wouldn’t necessarily call myself a KFC food addict, but they do have some great things on their menu that is worth ordering. There was a new item they were adding to their menu, grilled chicken, and they were doing this big promotion for it. KFC had never had …

This past Thanksgiving, turkey has always been a tradition at my mom’s table, but last year we decided to go with ham instead. Neither one of us wanted to slave over prepping a ham and making a glaze for it, so we decided on buying a Smithfield smoked ham.
The …

The Taco Bell crunch wrap supreme has become one of my must-order every since my first encounter with it. It debuted in 2005 which is when I had the opportunity to taste this mouthful, Frisbee taco.
When I first ordered the Taco Bell crunch wrap supreme, I was a …

The best memory from my former employment at Taco Bell was eating the grilled steak soft tacos. Before working there, I had been the safe Taco Bell eater: Soft taco supremes and that’s it. Before I left Taco Bell, I decided to gamble with my stomach and try the …

As of recently, there has been an ongoing promotion for Taco Bell’s five layer burrito. Taco Bell is on my list of favorite fast food places to go, but I tend to stick to the simple foods on the menu: Cinnamon twists, soft supreme tacos, nacho supremes, gordita supreme, …

Mozzarella sticks are one of my favorite appetizers to order in a restaurant. For me, there is nothing better than eating melting mozzarella cheese covered in some type of deep-fried breading. I had become familiar with them because my mom would always purchase them for me, and when I …

Farm Rich French toast sticks are the best as far as French toast in concerned. I started buying them in my freshman year of college because I loved eating French toast, but didn’t know how to cook it. When I finally learned how to cook French toast, it just …

I’m a snack person: There are times when I’ll make a snack from scratch and there are times when I’ll seek out a premade snack. I wasn’t introduced to the Breakstone’s cottage doubles until I was in my third or fourth year of high school. To this day, it’s …

Because of my previous experience with the Lean Pocket Philly cheese steak, I wanted to expand my lunch menu to another pastry sandwich: The Lean Pocket ham and cheese. I’ve had the Hot pocket ham and cheese and they are the best, so I thought the Lean Pocket ham …

As a beginner cook (such as myself), preparing meals seven days a week can be a complex task even when I have all of the ingredients for a particular recipe. In order to give myself a day off from the task of cooking, I decided to start a “free …

I thought this was a different set of chocolates but it includes two previously released collection. The Ferrero Rocher chocolates, Ferrero Rondnoir dark chocolates and Ferrero Garden Coconut …

Wonder whole grain white bread was the substitute I found when I wanted whole grain bread without compromising on the taste and money. Wonder whole grain white is the cheapest of the white breads I found at Albertsons and snapped it without much of expectations any way. I thought …

This is a very nice butter-like spread from Tesco’s own range, called Enriched Olive Spread. This is not pure butter but a mixture with vegetable oils and olive oil. This not only tastes good, but I can use it in baking and it also has health benefits. …

This Golden Vegetable Savoury Rice is from Tesco’s bargain ‘Value’ range which I have been sampling a lot of lately. This was a very low price at only 28 pence for a sachet and I would use one sachet as a side dish to two, or possibly three …

I am really not impressed with these Options Instant Hot Chocolate drinks as they all seem to be a bit sickly. If you find one you like, these little sachets of instant hot drink are handy to take to work to make yourself a treat throughout the day, …

I tried the ‘Low Fat Strawberry Yoghurt’ from Tesco’s Value range for the first time. I am open-minded about their ‘Value’ range as some products are not so bad. I would not expect this to be on a par to more expensive yoghurts as it is a …
