M&S Banana & Dulce De Leche Slices

The spirit of summer is well and truly alive in M&S and they have plenty of new products to tantalise anyones tastebuds. A strong theme that is evident in the new range is Dulce De Leche, they have gone a bit crazy on the stuff, but heck I’m not complaining nor can I blame them as this stuff is delicious. We have hit the dessert aisle in today’s review with M&S Banana & Dulce De Leche Slices. Alert we have an annoying inner packaging situation here. Yes I know you want to keep these slices looking as beautiful as possible…

Ben & Jerry’s Cookie Dough ‘Wich

Huzzah I have finally got my hands on the Ben & Jerry’s Cookie Dough ‘Wich. Why has it taken this long, well frankly as is normally the case it has taken a decade for them to actually arrive in a store near me. It is not like I live in the Outter Hebrides although on occasion I would love to, but for some unknown reason certain new products do take an age to get here.  Ben & Jerry’s now have a ‘Wich family which is made up of two varieties of Cookie ‘Wich’s – Cookie Dough and Chocolate Fudge, as…

The first layer of mousse was smooth, airy and packed full of authentic…

Eating Out at The Onslow Arms

Is it just me or is there a lack of decent pubs around nowadays? Everywhere is filled with chained restaurants with most just churning out lack lustre food with no heart and soul and charging an arm and a leg for it. We as a family have been on the lookout for a new place to eat and have heard some great things about The Onslow Arms in Clandon and decided on a whim that Friday night was the night to give it a go.  The pub itself has heaps of character with traditional features, exposed beams and a huge fireplace. From…

Sainsbury’s Salted Caramel Torte

Pudding, who doesn’t love a good pudding. One of the many wonders is that no matter how full you are, if a pudding presents itself you magical find room for a good wedge. The salted caramel trend seems to be phasing out but there are still a few products that slip onto the Supermarket shelves rather unnoticed, and today’s review is Sainsbury’s Salted Caramel Torte.  A sweet chocolate sponge with vanilla flavoured batter and a salted caramel glaze  Not quite what comes to mind when you think of a torte, but it did look ever so inviting. The chocolate cake isn’t…
