  • By Sainsbury’s. For today’s festive lunch review I’m having a wrap, and it’s from Sainsbury’s. My nearest supermarket as the crow flies, but when I walk there’s too much zig zagging to get there, until now when I realised I needed to try their food.

  • Vegan Festive Feast

    By Aldi. £1.99. For today’s lunch time offering, we’ve got a parsnip fritter with cranberry chutney and sage & onion mayonnaise on oatmeal and poppy seed bread.

    By M&S. If given the choice, my meal deal choice would be a chicken & bacon sandwich, meaty crisps and an orange juice.

  • My first festive pie review of 2024. Here we have paper bag, showing two golden pies just waiting for you to eat them. Not a lot to say other than that, but they’re certainly not pretentious. He’res the back of the bag as well. Luckily the price is here, because ASDA don’t add details to

  • By Waitrose. First thoughts are that these Pies don’t look very inviting. Good evening! We’ve been to Waitrose! And purchased a number of their festive items. This review is for the Brown butter mince pies with cognac. Brown butter or ‘Beurre noisette’ is supposed to have a nutty flavour which should give the pies a

  • By ALDI. My Thanks goes to Josh who took me to see what ALDI had to offer this year. There was a lot! And I took a few photos of some products I might come back and get at a later date. Everytime I think Lidl has a great offering, I head to ALDI and
