If I had to list my Top 3 favourite food groups, it would probably go something like Number 3: Eggs, Number 2: Rice and Number 1: Potato. I love the humble potato in all the many forms it comes in, mashed, crisps, baked and of course in chip form too. If I had to pick a meal off a menu, I’m pretty fine so as long as there are some chips on the side.

So, my authority on the issue now established, you will see now why it only seemed right that I take the lead on reviewing these chunky ... (Read more)

Does anybody remember Panda Pop?

Okay, this post has nothing to do with Panda Pop, it just popped into my head. But I was wondering what the Cola flavoured one tasted like. I only remember the blue coloured one that made your tongue blue. I am sure no one wants to know they used in order for that to happen. Now enough waffling lets get into our review of Fentimans Curiosity Cola, an exact opposite of Panda Pop Cola even though they are both cola drinks. 

I came across Fentimans drinks through my brother-in-law mentioning it about 18 months ago. ... (Read more)

One of the hardest questions I get asked by Mrs Review is ‘what is our meal plan for next week?’. I always have two meals locked down (one including pizza) but then just hit a wall. Although we like to go all out on weekend meals, on weekdays we are looking for something quick and easy. So you can see why we struggle to think of a plan for the full 5 days. 

One way we tackle this issue is to take a trip to a supermarket and look around for ideas for our meal plan. Now I have a ... (Read more)

Cleaning has suddenly become very trendy recently with the likes of the popular Mrs Hinch taking the internet world by storm. I’ll be the first to admit that cleaning is not one of my favourite chores, but as you grow older, it’s one of those inescapable parts of life and I’ve even found myself these days indulging in the odd speed clean video on youtube or watching cleaning hacks videos.

Like most people, I’ve tended to just stick to regular household and supermarket brands, often guided by whats on offer. However, since having our son last year, I have suddenly ... (Read more)

Welcome to our first ever review! Today I, Mr Reviews, will review Waitrose’s 6 Chunky Breaded Haddock Fish Fingers.

Fish fingers are a childhood favourite for many people, including me. It’s something that is always in the freezer and flexible to have at any time of the day. Maybe not for the breakfast though. Anyway, we had just come back from a memorable holiday the day before and we were out of food in the house. Begrudgingly, we headed to a couple of shops to get something that would be quick and easy to make. Whilst I was looking at ... (Read more)

Okay please proceed with reading this post with caution if you have a sweet tooth. This review we are indulging ourselves into Lidl’s Deluxe 2 Belgian Chocolate Cheesecake. We picked this up on offer for £1.39 when we were really in need of small dessert to accompany our Saturday night meal.  

Straight off the bat, this looks almost identically similar to the Gu Cheescake products which I and my family are a very big fan of. This Lidl version is much cheaper compared to the Gu’s at less than 70p per pot so I was happy with the purchase (and ... (Read more)

I’ve always been a lover of international foods and cuisines. It’s been a bit of a dream of mine to travel to different countries around the world, and though I can’t really say that I’ve achieved that dream thus far, I do feel that by trying different cuisines you can get a sense of different cultures without having to step out of your home. 

For a long time, I loved to explore Middle Eastern and Mediterranean foods but since marrying Mr Reviews a few years ago, I’ve been cooking a lot more East Asian foods, as it is one of ... (Read more)

Becoming a parent has definitely been the single most life-changing experience of my life and like many people, before my baby came along, I made sure to carefully look into all baby items before purchasing them. In my research, I learnt of many new gadgets and items that I had never heard of before, despite being an Aunt to many nephews and nieces. One of those things were bedside cribs or co-sleepers which many mothers touted as a must-have necessity. 

I’d only ever known of a Moses Basket before as a sleeping option for newborns but I was never really a ... (Read more)

I have a love/ hate relationship with grocery shopping. Sometimes the worst feeling on a Friday evening is knowing you have to make a weekend trip to the Supermarket. If you do it Saturday it feels like you not using that time to do something enjoyable. If you go Sunday then that’s eating up your rest day. But other times I like it, especially when I know we will be picking up some ingredients (and some dessert) for a Saturday night meal. Then there are times I come across something that makes me want to do cartwheels. What might make ... (Read more)

I am back to review one of the favourite foods in this nation. No, it’s not curry, although that is a favourite too. It’s battered fish! More specifically I am reviewing Lidls Deluxe 2 Jumbo Battered Cod Fillets. Why you ask. Because people need answers and I am here to provide those answers!

So getting straight into it. I want to talk about the price. It’s expensive, really expensive. These 2 Cod Fillets cost £3.19. I still shed a tear when I think about it. But Mrs Reviews wanted some good quality fish for dinner. She never really asks for ... (Read more)

It’s only recently I have discovered the new market of the dairy-free/ plant-based milk. It’s getting more and more popular for lots of reasons apart from being a vegan product. So I am excited to review the Oatly Oat Drink – Barista Edition because it’s taste really good in anything…apart from coffee. 

As I grow older, my milk intake has decreased drastically. I tend to find myself falling sick after having milk, especially in the winter. I don’t know the exact cause but I think dairy makes me develop colds. So I have taken some interest in dairy-free milk 2 ... (Read more)

I am not sure if I would see the day I would be eating meat-free nuggets. But here I am…eating meat-free nuggets.

The whole taking meat foods and making it plant-based is the new craze. Supermarkets are on the express meat-free producing bandwagon right now. Vegan burgers have also become very trendy and you can even buy things like impossible burgers in shops. Now I am all for crazy new food inventions and will be definitely diving into these products with Mrs Reviews. But I wanted to review one of the first meat-free products I came across which is Quorn. ... (Read more)
