Barr's Originals Cream Soda With Raspberry Review

Disclaimer : I LOVE THIS DRINK.

This is Barr's Originals Cream Soda with a twist of Raspberry. And oh boy does that twist raise what would otherwise be a pretty ordinary (but still delicious) cream soda. Cream soda happens to be one of my favourite drinks, and I recently reviewed their standard edition.

This one is nicely carbonated, with quite a light level that isn't too sharp. It's not overly sweet either, and the nice crisp vanilla flavour has good depth and comes through nicely. The star of the show is the Raspberry. Almost giving a similar glorious union to the combination of Raspberry and Milk of Swizzels Matlow Drumstick chews, this is a partnership of flavours that happily skip over each other and compliment eachother perfectly.

Big big fan, the only problem is availability....definitely available in Waitrose and online, but not many other places! If you see it, get it!

Ben & Jerry's Satisfy My Bowl UK Review

I believe this flavour has previously been available in the US of A, but it is now available in the U of K.

The actual flavour is Banana ice cream with caramel and cookie swirls and chocolate peace signs.

It's very similar to Chunky Monkey which is Banana ice cream with walnuts and chocolate banana shapes, but I think it's actually a little better. It's a shame that you lose the nicely flavoured and textured walnuts but you gain oh so much from the cookie and caramel.

The caramel adds sweetness and a more luxurious texture, and the strong flavour of the cookies comes through surprisingly well in the swirls. The texture is also really good of the cookies because you get small almost grit like pieces....but appetising.

Really big fan, tastes like banoffee pie.

Sanpellegrino Aranciata Rossa (Blood Orange Soda) Review

Cadbury Dairy Milk Golden Biscuit Crunch Review

Thanks again to friend and member of the FRUK team David Flavin for spotting this item and providing it to me for my consumption and review.

This is a golden biscuit and milk chocolate flavour cream version of the Dairy Milk bar.

This was more what I was expecting the Chips Ahoy! variety  to be like to be honest! There is a very nice crisp layer of biscuit (well...crunch) and it does really have a well baked "golden" taste to it, so the title of the bar wins points for accuracy.

The chocolate flavour cream is very sweet, and slightly gets lost in amongst the chocolate and the strong biscuit flavour. The overall texture was very good and very satisfying.

This was, as expected a great product and another good tool in the Cadbury arsenal!

Rolo Ritz Sandwich | Food Review UK Fusions

Rolo! Ritz! Rolo Ritz Cracker Sandwich! Sweet and salty, chewy and crispy, it's a Food Review UK Fusion that seems to hit all the bases.

This is a recipe that's all over Pinterest and the internet in general and I couldn't find a video recipe and review for it so I did one myself! Enjoy.

Hershey's With Almond Review

Hershey's chocolate gets a bad rap/wrap in the UK!

We decide to find out why. Turns out....it doesn't deserve it! Yes, the chocolate tastes very different to the ultra creamy and indulgent, sweet tastes of the likes of Cadburys and Galaxy, but at least it has it's own distinct flavour.

The almonds add a nice crunch and a decent amount of strong flavour, whose slight milkyness/chalkyness goes well with the deep chocolate.

Good bar! Check out the video for full thoughts.

Pepsi Throwback Review

I review Pepsi Throwback, which is made with real sugar, rather than sweetners (or possibly sweetners as well...if you're looking for hard facts you've come to the wrong place I'm afraid). It mimics the original recipe of original Pepsi. I think.

So....I really...could barely tell the difference between this Pepsi Throwback and regular Pepsi. I'd like to do a taste test one day, and maybe I will soon....but for the additional money of importation, it's pointless.

Still a nice drink though!

Drumstick Squashies Bubblegum Website Exclusive Review

Welcome to this website exclusive review for the new flavour of Drumstick Squashies and thank you for checking out the website.

This is the bubblegum flavour, similar to the typical bubblegum flavoured sweets that you get (like the fizzy, foamy bubblegum bottles). The flavour is almost identical to those sweets, but the smooth squashiness of this product and of course, the lack of the fizzy outer sugar glaze, makes these taste almost smooth, and crisp and clean.

The flavour is nice, and it's a bit strange to have that flavour, in a squidgy sweetie and for it to not taste sour and fizzy. The texture is really nice, just like the other Squashies, really easy to eat and the flavour packs a punch.

Check out the video above for the full review.

McDonald's Quadruple Cheeseburger Review (Fusions)

I made the bold step of fusing together two (plain) double cheeseburgers from McDonald's to create the almighty, meaty beast of the quadruple cheeseburger.

Words alone cannot do this behemoth of fast food justice, so please watch the above video and be astounded at the beefiness.

Chips Ahoy! Crispy Chocolate Caramel Review

Chips Ahoy! Has been released in the UK!

It has launched with two varieties, this one which is a Popcorn, Candy Chip (Smarties type thing) and chocolate chip, and the other one is a chocolate cookie with chocolate chips, cornflakes and caramel crispy bits.

This one is a bit more interesting than the popcorn one. The actual flavour of the cookie is a deep and somewhat milky chocolate, quite sweet. The caramel flavouring is nice and strong, and the texture is great, thanks to the combination of the short and crispy cookie, the crunchy flakes and the almost honeycomb like caramel.

These flavours are strong, rich but sweet too, and with the chocolate chips adding yet another flavour and texture, these cookies really are a bit of a taste sensation.

Very different than any other cookie on the UK market and I look forward to seeing more varieties!

This one gets four stars!

Chips Ahoy! Popcorn Candy Chip Review

Chips Ahoy! Has been released in the UK!

It has launched with two varieties, this one which is a Popcorn, Candy Chip (Smarties type thing) and chocolate chip, and the other one is a chocolate cookie with chocolate chips, cornflakes and caramel crispy bits.

This one is certainly the slightly blander of the two, with the greatest comparison to be drawn against Maryland cookies. The slight saltiness from the caramelised popcorn is a nice touch, and the texture of it is it's biggest draw - slight chewiness from the popcorn and an interesting mix with the candy chips and the chocolate chips.

It was good, but the other ones are better! Check out the other review to read more about that.

Three stars for this one!

Subway Meatball Marinara Review

The Meatball Marinara sub sandwich from Subway is one of my very favourites! I love the sweet, herby tomato sauce which has delicious depth and seasoning, and is delightfully warm.

The meat is so tender and so well flavoured that it's richness goes really well with the rich tomato marinara sauce.

On this occasion, I had the Italian Herbs and Cheese bread which is not my normal choice, but it is one of my more preferred breads from Subway. Normally I have the honey oat variety, with the extra texture and sweetness and the extra nutty flavour from the bread.

All in all, I highly recommend this product and give it a high five stars.

Hershey's Cookies 'N' Creme Review

We reviewed the Hershey's Cookies N Creme chocolate bar.

It is interesting that the Hershey's brand is starting to become more readily available in the UK. It seems to have a somewhat bad reputation over here as not being like the chocolate that we are used to, and of course the pride of our nation Cadbury....however it actually holds a place in my heart. It's a good tasting chocolate.

This particular version is a light white chocolate with rich cookie pieces. There are ample, ample cookie pieces and they have a very nice crunchy texture.

The chocolate has a light and sweet flavour and it goes nicely with the deep rich, chocolatey cookie pieces. The texture is really good, with the bar being quite thing and a nice layer of cookies.

All in all it's an impressive product!

Reese's Hot Chocolate - Fusions

Immediately after trying Peanut Hottie, I knew what it was destined for. The pure peanut butter taste was destined to join a chocolatey flavour drink.

I fused Peanut Hottie with Mars Drink, and it created a super sweet, Reese's reminiscent treat.

It was very.....very sweet though.

Trinidad Scorpion Chilli - Available At Tesco

Tesco have started stocking the world's second hottest chilli. The Trinidad Scorpion. It's worth noting that these are not usually stocked on the shelves and that you may need to ask for them and they will get a pack from out back. £1 for 4 chillies.

Words can do this product no justice. Please watch the above torture video of us eating these hell vegetables.
