Chinese Birthday Cake Flavour Oreo Review

Birthday Cake flavour Oreos is actually something that we have tried before on Food Review UK. When we went to Florida in October last year, I picked up a packet from there. They were sweet, with a distinctly "Birthday Cake" flavoured creme and a slight added texture from the sugar sprinkles - I really liked them and you can watch the review at the bottom of this blog post.

But today we are reviewing the Chinese version. I wasn't sure what to expect - some of the Chinese products have been very different to their American counterparts, like the vanilla biscuit with chocolate creme, but the packaging and design on this one was nearly the same as the U.S. version.

I tried it with the banter boys and I can say the difference was neglible. In fact, I couldn't tell the difference. The over-sweetness of the creme is balanced very nicely by the deep, rich cocoa or chocolately flavour of the biscuit. Another excellent Oreo Cookie and a weird flavour, or strange flavour that once again....we will probably never see in the United Kingdom.

Subway Big Beefy & Chorizo Melt Review


I recently had the chance to try the new Subway UK Big Beefy & Chorizo Melt. I've always wanted to try the big beefy - I am a big fan of burgers and it basically looks like a burger. Turns out, it basically is. Burger flavour, and it was a bit weird about it being in a Subway sandwich haha. It's a good sandwich though, very good actually, the chorizo went really well and it had a bit of a kick to it, very nice depth of flavour. Check out the video review below.

Volvic Touch Of Fruit Cherry - Review


I tried the Volvic touch of fruit cherry flavor normally with these Volvic touch of fruit products I find the taste to be a little bit chemically after a while. This was a pleasant surprise I've never seen this flavor before and I saw it at the petrol station. I said normally with these types of drinks the taste becomes a bit weird in the mouth after a while but with this one I had about three quarters of the bottle without this happening. The cherry flavor is very natural and it tastes like a black cherry flavor. Its level of flavor but was not overpowering and because it was still water it was very refreshing and you could down big gulps without too much of an overload and crucially it was not too sweet .

This is probably the best flavored water products I have ever tasted . I would definitely get it again and would write it's full of stars

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!

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.

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.

Lindt Hello My Name Is Cookies & Cream Review



Lindt seem to have relaunched their "Hello My Name Is" range with the addition of a new flavour - Salted Caramel, so we will be reviewing a number of these bars over the coming days.

The first one we tried was this Cookies & Cream edition. It is milk chocolate with a cookies & cream flavour cream and small cookie pieces.

The texture is rather divine, with the cream being soft and melt-in-the-mouth and the cookie pieces being a particular highlight for me due to both their abundance and that they have a very crisp texture. The flavour from the cream is very good, with a definite taste of biscuit.

Lindy chocolate is always high quality and this is the typical milk chocolate they always produce, the level of sweetness is not overpowering and all of the ingredients in this bar come together to compliment each other very well. Very impressive product.

Four stars.

Yeo Valley Greek Style Yeogurt with Honey - Website Exclusive Review

I normally pack a greek style yogurt into my packed lunch. I do this because I am trying to have a relatively healthy packed lunch, and as I gather, you can have a lot worse than a yogurt. I usually have a chicken salad wrap, an apple, a yogurt and a packet of not-super-bad-crisps (usually Pom Bear).

I typically opt for the Weight Watchers Greek style yogurts, but a few weeks ago, these Yeo Valley ones were on offer.

They are very thick, and the actual flavour of the yogurt is surprisingly strong. So much so in fact that I wasn't sure I liked it straight away. The honey flavour is throughout the yogurt, rather than actually having a separate honey portion (like the Liberte yoghurts) (by the way, I've used a number of different spelling for yoghurts, I'm aware...)

Visually it actually looks like mayonnaise, but don't let that put you off. It's nicely flavoured and creamy and because of the intensity it tastes quite rich.

Not too bad, I'd give this product three stars.

Dominos Gluten-Free Crust Review



I tried the Dominos Gluten-Free Crust, from Dominos Pizza.

The crust itself lacks a little bit of the normal bread flavour that you would get from a normal Dominos crust, however it is still a nice, albeit somewhat lacking flavour. It has a light texture and is very crisp, particularly on the underside.

It's a nice choice for allergy/intolerant folk, and it provides a lighter option for people not wanting to be bogged down by a big old' heavy bread! Decent product, and I'd give it three 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.

Oreo Brownie UK Review



The Flavinator joins me for a review of the Oreo Brownie product. He got it from an import store in Watford. I was surprised by the texture, very unlike a traditional brownie and more akin to cookie dough. The creme in the middle was intensely sweet but we couldn't identify any flavour in it and are unsure if it was regular Oreo creme. The deep chocolatey flavour on the outside was pretty good though, and overall we both enjoyed the product. Check out the video for full thoughts.

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.

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.

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.
