Product review: Quaker Oats
Posted on November 13, 2012 | No CommentsNot content with a really easy of preparing porrige oats by adding milk and microwaving, Quaker have now released a new range of breakfast 'pots' that make it *even* easier to make. -
Product review:Chef Kuo Spicy Kung Pao Noodle Bowl
Posted on November 7, 2012 | No CommentsI'm happy to say, it was bloody gorgeous and blows the Pot Noodle company into a crocked hat. -
Product review: Tesco Chicken and Chorizo Square Wrap
Posted on August 1, 2012 | No CommentsNice taste, not enough of it. -
Product review: nakd Cocoa Mint
Posted on May 22, 2012 | No CommentsAs with the Cocoa Orange before it, I was fully expecting some kind of better quality After-Eight mint, the tour-de-force in the chocolate/mint confectionary market -
Product review: nakd Cocoa Orange
Posted on May 22, 2012 | No CommentsI was looking forward to the nakd Cocoa Orange bar. It was going to be just like a Terry's Chocolate Orange wasn't it? And who doesn't like them? No-one, that's who. -
Product review: Sainsbury’s Egg & Bacon Sandwich
Posted on May 9, 2012 | No CommentsI'm not averse to a supermarket pre-packed sandwich but they can be awfully expensive when compared to say, a local sandwich shop and they're often hit-and-miss with the quality. -
Product review: Weetabix baked with Golden Syrup
Posted on May 1, 2012 | 2 CommentsThere are some constants in life. Sky is blue (or in England, a kind of dreary grey), grass is green (again, England's is more grey) and Weetabix have produced their unadorned breakfast cereal for what is probably a thousand years. -
Product review: nakd Ginger Bread
Posted on April 13, 2012 | No CommentsIs ginger man enough to stand up to those dates? -
Product review: nakd Cashew Cookie
Posted on April 13, 2012 | No CommentsAfter the nakd Berry bar I tried earlier, I was looking forward to this Cashew Cookie -
Product review: nakd Crazy Cola Raisins
Posted on April 11, 2012 | No CommentsWho'd have thought it? How can marinating raisin and sultana's in a natural cola infusion work? Well, it does. Nakd, that make-glorious company who were on the receiving end of a very positive review for their Berry bar, have now released a new range of flavours to tempt us into their all-natural universe of other-worldly goodness. -
Product review: Ugo’s Chicken and Mozzarella Panini
Posted on September 14, 2011 | No CommentsLike a vulture I circled, my preying eyes ablaze with the flames of indignant hunger. I had a skant few coppers to my name, their incessant jangling in my pocket matched only by the rumbling in my empty stomach. It had been hours, nay days, since my last meal, where I gorged and ate my fill on the butchered carcass of a pig (it was a bacon sandwich). That memory, like the nutrition it provided, had faded to a smoky greyness, dwelling in the pit of obscurity that my hunger recepticles had now fallen into. -
Product review: Sainsbury’s Chicken and Mushroom Puff Pastry Pie
Posted on September 14, 2011 | No CommentsThe short version: It's a pie. It's got chicken and mushroom in it. It's barely mediocre. 59p, 452 calories, 10% saturated fat. -
Product review: Halls Extra Strong Mentho-lyptus Lozenges
Posted on September 14, 2011 | 1 CommentMan Flu. It's a deadly disease that affects one half of the population. Serious scientific studies by serious men in serious white coats have shown that Man Flu is responsible for more lost days at work, more abandoned home DIY projects and consigned a whole species of people to the settee than any other disease on the planet. -
Product review: Feasters Original Smoked Bacon Butty
Posted on September 14, 2011 | 2 CommentsThe Feasters Smoked Bacon Butty is free of any mayonaissally-inspired ambitions and comes with a sachet of tomato ketchup instead. Looking at it through the plastic packaging, the bacon is almost as anaemic as my mate Nigel. His skin is virtually translucent and if he stands up to the sun, you can see his internal organs. -
Product review: Feasters Chicken, Bacon and Cheese Melt
Posted on September 14, 2011 | No CommentsFeasters are a company specializing in the microwave ready-meal market and produce a range of snacks and ready-to-go sandwiches. One of their Unique Selling Points (USP, or gimmick if you like) is their 'Crispy Baguette' which is basically a bread roll inside a tube of corrugated cardboard. You see, this makes the bread 'crispy' when heated in a microwave. I bet Hovis are really worried. -
Product review: Levi Roots Caribbean Hot Chilli Beef
Posted on September 14, 2011 | No CommentsHe's a successful entrepreneur who in the spirit of enterprise, grew his small food stall serving the crowds of the Notting Hill Carnival to a multi-national food production company. His profile rose somewhat with a charismatic appearance on BBC TV's Dragons Den, securing funding from none other than Peter Jones and Richard Farleigh. -
Product review: Golden Wonder Chip Shop Curry Nations Not-a-Pot Noodles
Posted on September 14, 2011 | 2 CommentsNot-a-Pot Noodles were invented by a Cornish man in 1982. He was abducted by one of those afore-mentioned aliens who probed him in painful places with long metal poles. They planted the seed of an idea, the germination of a thought into his receptive brain and lo, the Pot Noodle was born. The idea was sold to Golden Wonder who have been extolling its virtues ever since. -
Product review: Quicksters Flame-grilled Burger
Posted on August 30, 2011 | 1 CommentThe important difference is price. Expect to pay upwards of a quid for a Feasters or Rustlers equivalent but the Quickster is a mere 79p, not on offer, that is the permanent price. -
Product review: Aldi Soupreme Minestrone Cuppa Soup
Posted on August 23, 2011 | 3 CommentsLet's be honest here, powdered soup is as far removed from actual soup that could possibly be. It's essentially dried flavourings that turn into a savoury liquid when hot water is poured over the top. "Spaceman food", is what my Nan would have called it, her eel-head soup taking pride of place in her culinary repertoire. -
Product review: Chicken and Bacon Layered Salad
Posted on August 23, 2011 | No CommentsSalads are a guilty pleasure. In between processed chicken nuggets, economy pizzas and tomato ketchup, there's nothing like a piece of lettuce, maybe a few crunchy veggies and if you're feeling fruity, a nice dressing to give you a healthy hit of green nutrition. Properly done, a salad should taste of Summer and sunshine and imbue in us a propensity to strip our clothes off and go prancing through an overgrown meadow.
