  • 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. The price is good, I think £1.99 is very good, so i’m already feeling positive. The green packaging sets it aside from other sandwiches, much like the green

  • Turkey Shawarma wrap

    By M&S. If given the choice, my meal deal choice would be a chicken & bacon sandwich, meaty crisps and an orange juice. I wouldn’t head straight for this, except I’m looking for festive goodies and this really caught my eye. So much so that I skipped over the standard sandwiches. I’m quite glad I

  • Christmas Sando

    By M&S. I wasn’t sold by the name, or the price (£5.25!). It was the 5% from this item will be given* to Shelter. …And it looked like a fish finger sandwich from first glance. It also sits upright on the shelf, so it almost juts out and makes you take notice. The item was

  • I’ve tried these, or a variation of these on a previous year. They were really nice if i remember correctly. A mix of darkness chocolate, sweetened stem ginger and fiery ginger biscuits. This will be a quick review. I love finding products that can suit lots of people, that people are included, not just how

  • A quick one. This will be a brief review. There’s not a massive amount of things to tell you about this sandwich. It’s a prawn cocktail sandwich, on soft oatmeal bread. There isn’t masses of substance, (which isn’t a negative) and I was able to polish my sandwich off extremely quickly! You could argue that

  • For this review, we’ve got a Christmas Wrapped wrap and a Turkey Feast sandwich. They were priced at £3.35 and £3.30 respectively. I want to review these in the order I’d eat the type of food involved. In this case, Christmas Wrapped is considered a Boxing Day type food and Turkey Feast would be more

  • 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

  • A trio of festive wraps

    From Tesco. My daughter and I wanted a tasty dinner, so we decided to check out the festive wrap selection at the local Tesco. I’m not entirely sure, but I think there were more as well, but we went for these. Prices are £3 for the Veggie option and just 25p more for the ‘meaties’.
