Enjoy the things you can afford
Brand: Cadbury Cost: £0.40 Found at: Tesco I did not know what Turkish delight was until just now, so for all those out there who (like me) only know it as a Narnia reference, Turkish delight is basically rose-flavored gelatine (about the consistency of a gummy bear on a hot day). This Cadbury Turkish... Continue Reading →
Brand: Lyx Cost: 39 KR Found at: Coop In the spirit of Christmas, today’s post will be set to the tune of “Away in a Manger.” ~*~ I found them while shopping Couldn’t understand why - Five marzipan piglets All lined up to buy. I asked my Swede boyfriend The reason and rhyme.... Continue Reading →
Brand: Deliciously Ella Cost: £1.80 Found at: Morrisons This snack is offensive. I am offended by this snack. It is such a flagrant waste of money. Worse still, it’s genuinely unappetizing. It’s a luxury tax on health nuts, and while I love me a tax on the wealthy, this blatant highway robbery makes... Continue Reading →
Brand: Morrisons Cost: £2 Found at: Morrison's In the flurry of holiday fervor and election drama, I decided to splash out on a holiday treat that simultaneously projects my liberal sensibilities. And what better option than a Florentine? This collection of nuts held together by caramel, and dipped in chocolate is truly a Brexiter’s... Continue Reading →
Brand: Cadbury Cost: 70p Found at: Tesco There is not enough yes in the world to describe how I feel about this candy bar. I’ve been playing candy bar junior varsity my whole life, and I’ve just been brought up to the big leagues. This candy bar is positively phe-no-me-nal. There are some... Continue Reading →

Stop trying to make meat happen, Gretchen. It’s not going to happen. After all, there are SO many incredible dishes out there that... Continue Reading →
Brand: nākd. Found at: Tesco Cost: £1 As an American, I take my peanut flavoring seriously. I will eat peanut butter straight out of the jar without so much as batting an eye. So, when I see something marketed as a peanut delight, I expect a full peanut experience. I expect to taste nothing but... Continue Reading →
Brand: Nim’s Found at: Tesco Cost: £1 Usually, when someone is marketing a bold food combination, it is a sign that it is actually a food innovation. If I look at something and think: ‘there’s no way that will work,’ it's a good sign that it is actually so good that the flavor can... Continue Reading →
Brand: Metcalf’s Found at: Tesco Cost: : £1 Rice cakes can do many things very well, but desert, it seems, is not one of them. I enjoyed the chocolate coating on these cakes, and the flavor of the rice was pretty good, but somewhere in the combination process, the dark chocolate leeched into the... Continue Reading →
Brand: Nestle Found at: Tesco Cost: £1 There is no betrayal like the betrayal of a bad chocolate. When you are at your most vulnerable, when you need the most comfort in life, you turn to a chocolate bar for some little bit of solace. When that chocolate then turns out to be disgusting,...
