The Chilli Pickle Guildford

The Chilli Pickle Guildford

I was lucky enough to be invited to the launch night of The Chilli Pickle in Guildford. On the streets of the upper high street of Guildford you certainly cannot miss this vibrantly coloured Indian restaurant and it has the interior to match. The opening of Indian restaurants aren’t exactly regular occurrences so I was pretty ecstatic to see that the newly refurbished restaurant wasn’t just going to be another cuisine that we already have.  So who are The Chilli Pickle? Well the very first was opened in Brighton with the aim to offer an authentic and accessible Indian dining…

Popcorn Shed Pecan Pie

Popcorn Shed Pecan Pie

The popcorn love affair continues….. We previously had the delicious but lacking in size Popcorn Shed Butterly Nuts, and this week we have Popcorn Shed Pecan Pie. No longer reserved for the pastry case, Popcorn Shed have taken a much loved sweet dessert and fused it with popcorn and I for one hope this tastes as good as it sounds.  Again this little 28g snack pack came from Ocado and was £1.50. Interestingly although there were only a few extra grams in this pack, visually there looked to be so much more than the Butterly Nuts version. The shade of…

Mallow & Marsh Peanut Marshmallow Bar

Mallow & Marsh Peanut Marshmallow Bar

I have finally got my hands on the new Mallow & Marsh Peanut Marshmallow Bar. I have not seen even a smidge of advertising, and I just so happened to have stumbled across a random tweet about one of these and low and behold on my lunch break I spied it in Boots. It must have been fate.  I can’t tell you the last time I have had a Mallow & Marsh marshmallow and I am not even sure why, their Mint Choc ones are my favourite, which ironically seems to be the one bar I think they no longer do.…

Limited Edition The Collective Coconut, Rum ‘n’ Pineapple

Limited Edition The Collective Coconut, Rum ‘n’ Pineapple

For someone who has never really liked coconut in anything other than a Malibu and Coke (don’t judge me), I have recently been eating more and more coconut flavoured foods and loving them, and I am hoping to add The Collective Coconut, Rum ‘n’ Pineapple yoghurt to that list.  I have tried quite a few of The Collective yoghurts, FYI Mango is my favourite, and mostly they have always faired pretty well. The last yoghurt of theirs I tried which had a boozy element to it was their Raspberry Trifle and sadly the amaretto was lack lustre so I am…
