Hot & Spicy Buffalo BBQ Chicken Review | McDonald's

Not being the biggest fan of heat, I entered the Hot & Spicy BBQ Chicken Sandwich from the McDonald's Great Taste's Of America range with some trepidation.

I am happy to report that, whilst hot....it's nothing mind blowing at all. There is a lot to like in the other elements of the burger, such as the mayo that combines with the sauce and the nice crispiness of the chicken, however the praise is short lived.

The burger contains bacon, but it is lost amongst the other ingredients - perhaps too thin, but it did not bring much flavour. It's not a bad chicken sandwich however, but it's just...nothing all that special, and carrying a weighty price tag of £3.89, it should be a lot better. I believe McDonald's offer similar products in the pound saver type menu, so I am unsure why this needs to be quadruple the price.

Here's my video review;

Florida Food Diary | Day 5

Welcome to the latest edition of my Florida Food Diary. It's been six months and I still have not got this entire thing up. I will do soon though. This uk food reviews blog or food reviews uk blog as you may call it will start to buck it's ideas up!

Anyway, here we go...Day 5!

We apparently had "snacky bits" for breakfast - this is what I've described it as in my diary.

Mickey Mouse Ice Cream sandwich for lunch at Disney World Magic Kingdom. I was actually quite surprised by this one, it was pretty delicious. The Mickey cookie portions were soft chewy, dark cookies and the ice cream in the middle had a lovely milky taste. It was great as it melted in the heat. This is making me sad.

I then had a corn dog. Also at Magic Kingdom. Ever since I tried Corn dogs in San Francisco just over a decade ago, I have absolutely loved them and always taken the rare opportunity to eat them. The almost nutty, corny batter on the outside has a great texture and goes so well with the sausage. Incredible.

TGI Friday for dinner! AKA Fridays - wow, this was so disappointing! TGI Fridays in the UK is one of our favourite chain restaurants but in the USA it just wasn't up to the standards of everywhere else. I had an overcooked, fatty steak with parmesan fries which sounded great but lacked flavour and were mushy and not crispy at all, and they were big too, a bit like soggy fries. Not good.

That's it! Tune in next time when we went to Sea World!

Florida Food Diary | Day 4

Here is what I ate on Day 4 of the Florida holiday last year!

We went to Universal Studios on this day, so the first thing we had was a Frozen Butter Beer. It was incredible. For lunch at Universal Studios we had Cletus' Chicken Shack - it wasn't too bad! Certainly nothing to write home about, especially considering the inflated price point.

For dinner I had a Foot Long Subway - Philly Cheesesteak with Green Peppers. This was probably the most familiar thing I tasted on the entire holiday, it was almost identical to what I expect from UK Subway!

Florida Food Diary - Day 3

On Sunday the 5th October, we played mini golf and had a bit of an exploration drive and hit a few supermarkets.

Breakfast

Ponderosa - I had Sausages, Bacon, Pancakes, Blueberry Waffle, Scrambled Eggs, Scrambled Eggs w/ Mexian stuff and Maple Syrup. It was awesome.

We skipped lunch, obviously because breakfast so huge and this built up our appetite for dinner at Olive Garden.

Dinner 

Garlic Breadsticks, Soup (meat and pasta...bit like chilli) and Lasagne. For dessert we finally tried the Zeppoliti Doughnuts with chocolate sauce.

Olive Garden is so good it makes me weep.

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.

Meridian Cashew Butter Review



I was very attracted to this product, being a big fan of both cashew nuts and separately peanut butter, this product seemed very geared towards my love!

It has a very nice, strong flavour and it has a similar kind of taste and feel to peanut butter how it makes your mouth feel kind of claggy.

Because it is natural, it maybe tastes like it could be improved with either a bit of salt or sugar to send it one way or the other, but it's still a really nice nut product.

Snickers Rockin' Nut Road Review



I do love me a limited edition! This time it's the Snickers Rockin' Nut Road which has caramel, dark chocolate, sweet marshmallow flavour nougat and almonds, replacing the normal ingredients of Snickers. The inside is ultra sweet and this is balanced nicely by the dark chocolate on the outside. I didn't get much marshmallow flavour but that's okay. The texture was nice, with big, hard almonds providing a satisfying firm crunch and all the flavours being very harmonious. A good edition of Snickers! Sits well alongside the regular bar and is different enough from it to warrant it's existence. Check out the video for further thoughts.

I Tried Mustard For The First Time!

Wow. So I was really brave (because I'm funny with sauces) and yesterday I was essentially forced into trying mustard. I ordered the new Jack Daniels Chilli Fries from TGI Fridays, and it had mustard on it.

So I tried it on a chip first. Couldn't properly taste it but...can't say I enjoyed it.

I then tried a big bit on it's own. I definitely don't like mustard. It was tangy, almost powdery but the worst thing of all, (and I guess this is why they call it mustard - who knew) was it's musk! I did not get on with that combination of flavours at all.

If I were to give it one positive, it would be that the heat wasn't unpleasant.

Maybe....just maybe one day I'll build up the courage to try mayonnaise.

Popangles Sea Salt Review



After trying the Sweet & Salty flavour of Popangles, I was eager to try more. This is another unique and interesting product, much the same as sweet and salty - it was really good. The texture is so brilliant and satisfying to crunch through, that for my money it's better than regular popcorn which is arguably a risky snack. Check out the review for my full thoughts.

Dominos EPIC Nachos - Food Review UK Fusions



Bam! This fusion was...kind of amazing! I took the Dominos Nachos, Dominos Fajita Wedges and Dominos Chicken Kickers and fused the heck out of them to create a godly concoction of lovely cajun flavours, nice heat and glorious textures. Check out the video for my full thoughts.

Skittles Wild Berry Milkshake Review



I was surprised to see this new flavour of Skittles Milkshake in the supermarket the other day, and....a bit excited. The Skittles milkshake was the first product I reviewed on FRUK. I opened the lid and the aroma hit me immediately, very sweet berry smell, and reminiscent of the wild berry Skittles themselves. The taste is really good, a nice balance of different berry flavours that all work really well together! Check out the video for the full review.

Reese's Fast Break Review



Thank you very much to friend and star of Food Review UK, Sir David Flavin for providing a big old bag of goodies to munch our (my) way through. First up is Reese's Fast Break, which contains peanuts, peanut butter, nougat and is covered in chocolate. This bar, like a lot of Reese's products is really rich, but it's also absolutely delicious. Very sweet and with quite a mouth covering texture, it feels very much like a treat eating it. Check out the video for full thoughts.

Baby Ruth Review


 I have always seen Baby Ruth but never been all too interested in it. Its a bit like a snickers, with the same general components but strange how it is so different. The ingredients all feel like separate elements thrown together, but I quite enjoyed some of the flavours and textures. Check out the video for full thoughts!

Philadelphia Almondy Lemon Cheesecake Review



This was a surprising find! Philadelphia collides with almondy. I am a big fan of almondy tarts and this new one is no exception. My biggest revelation was how well lemon and earthy almond went together! Good product, check out the video.

Mars Caramel Milk Review



I recently purchased this new milkshake product from Mars - Mars Caramel milk. It was actually delicious! Really tasty caramel flavour milkshake with a very slight chocolatey back-note, and a nice velvety texture. Highly recommended. Check out the video for full thoughts.

Mars Caramel Review



Mars Caramel is like a Mars but a lot smaller...because the noughat has been removed. I actually enjoyed this product a fair bit. I was surprised how much it tastes like a normal Mars bar. Check out the video to see our full thoughts.
