New OREO O's Breakfast Cereal (@NLi10)

 It's time for premium priced cereals again - this time an Oreo cereal released natively in the UK but almost priced like an import!

These OREO O's (belonging to O?) are a hefty £3.99 for 320g (10 portions) vs Kellogg's Cornflakes being 500g for £2.99 (16 portions). That's more than twice the price per morning - and I don't eat small 'recommended' portions...

Crunchy Cocoa Hoops, And Vanilla Wafer Discs - what kind of communion is this?!  These look like board game pieces (and prices) but what are they like to eat with almond milk?

They do taste a bit like Oreos - but neither has a particularly exciting texture.  This is gimmick cereal at it's finest. Goes down well enough with the tea though.

The flavour washes off a little in the milk too so you do get that milkshake effect that Coco pops do so well.

And while unexciting I will be finishing the box.  I might take this on holiday with me so that my younger relatives can get the experience without having to buy a whole box themselves.  Of all the Kraft/Cadbury things you could have turned into a breakfast cereal this is probably the most instantly interesting, but the least suited.

Quilmes Beer (@Quilmes_Cerveza) By @SpectreUK

I was given this beer with a few other bottles as a Christmas beverage box of exported beers. Quilmes is brewed in Argentina. At 4.9% in volume, Quilmes is a lager beer named after the city in Greater Buenos Aires. Wikipedia tells me that the original Cervecería y Maltería Quilmes drinks company was founded in 1890 by Otto Bemberg, a German immigrant. Since 2002 the company has been owned by AmBev, which is the largest brewer in the world.

On opening the 330ml bottle this bright golden beer has a light hoppy smell to it, with a sweet malt aroma to finish. On taste this cheerfully fizzy lager beer has a crisp sharp herbal and citrus hops combined initial bitterness, which is quickly smoothed out by the sweet malts. This is a very flavoursome lager, not too fizzy, and it went rather well with my tomato and rather posh pretentious sounding venison ravioli. I'd recommend you try it, the beer of course, well and the pasta, but I don't think Cinabar's mom will make the sauce from scratch and cook it for everyone. Sorry about that, as it was rather good!

Bubble Gum Flavour Hubba Bubba M&Ms (GB Gifts) By @Cinabar

My usual thinking is that America gets all the best and most unusual M&M flavours. It is undeniable the States have an amazing selection but these crazy sounding Bubble Gum Flavour Hubba Bubba M&Ms actually originated in Australia, though they were bought at an import shop in the UK.

The flavour sounds like it shouldn’t work but also sounded so unusual I had to try them. This is bubble gum flavoured chocolate in a shell, madness right? I poured some of the Bubble Gum Flavour Hubba Bubba M&Ms out of the bag and they are in three colours, blue, pink and white but all have the same contents. I gave one a try and I got a flavour of traditional bubble gum and chocolate all mixed together. My taste buds were confused, the two flavours do not naturally complement one another. Some how the bubblegum had a little bit of berry like flavour with the chocolate and it sort of made it work. I couldn’t decide if I liked them, but I found myself keeping eating them. I even poured out a few more. They were weird, but weirdly okay.

I honestly think if you put together the best flavour gurus on the planet and told them to make bubble gum chocolate work they couldn’t do any better than this, it is as close to working and those flavours ever could be. That in itself is impressive but I suspect myself and most people who buy these are in it for the novelty. The Bubble Gum Flavour Hubba Bubba M&Ms were odd but tasty and did make me smile so I think that was mission complete.

Korean Inspired Gochujang Pork Limited Edition Wrap - on a Tesco Meal Deal (@NLi10)

I like picking up odd things for lunch - and often let the Yellow Stickers of Destiny guide me.  Today in my Special (discount) Diet we take a Tesco wrap, and add a drink - and Olives which I didn't know were in the meal deals but make me so much more likely to do the thing.

I chose the  Korean Inspired Gochujang Pork Limited Edition Wrap as it sounded quite exciting - and then I opened it...

...They've tricked me into buying pulled pork - GAH!

Pre-chewed food like pulled pork really isn't my thing, but they've tried pretty hard with all the extras here.  

First we have a little spicy mayo, then a few shredded veggies and pickles - but most importantly they haven't spread it all evenly so you get lovely little pockets of fairly exotic flavours, on a lunch break in Birmingham! 

For £3 for the drink, olives and a wrap I can't really complain.  The healthiness of the deal is of course, down to your individual choices.

New Skittles Fruits - Squishy Cloudz (Tesco) By @SpectreUK

There are five flavours of these New Skittles Fruits - Squishy Cloudz. There are Lemon, Orange, Lime, Strawberry and Blackcurrant. There was a really fruity smell on opening the family sharing bag. They smelt gorgeous. Mouthwatering really. As you can see from the photograph, looking into the bag these are not Skittles, not even slightly. They look very different, and have a completely different texture.

Sharing the bag between Cinabar and myself all the colours had even numbers. Yes I counted them out… Yellow colour was quite obviously the Lemon flavour. The squishy sweet smelt of lemon. I liked the texture, unsurprisingly it tasted like lemon and had a zingy and refreshing taste. Orange flavour had a milder smell, a lighter taste and was not as flavoursome as the lemon, but did have a kick of orange into the aftertaste. Green was the Lime flavour. It smelt of lime with a strong taste of lime, and was very fruity and really flavoursome. It was gorgeous. I liked this one the most so far.

Pink colour was the Strawberry flavour. It had a good smell of strawberries, and was very flavoursome. It actually tasted like strawberry Skittles and was very nice indeed. The last colour blue was the Blackcurrant flavour. Before I tasted one I commented that it should be my favourite flavour. It had a good smell of blackcurrants. It was really tasty. This squishy coloured sweet was indeed my favourite, but lime and also lemon were very close. I found Orange was the least flavoursome. However, I'd definitely have these New Skittles Fruits - Squishy Cloudz again.
