Enjoy the things you can afford
Brand: Nākd. Cost: £1 Found at: Tesco At this point, I have never eaten a Bakewell tart, but I’ve eaten many things that are supposed to taste like Bakewell tarts. As far as I can tell, the original pastry is something akin to a pie made of jam and almond paste, and if it... Continue Reading →
Brand: Kings Cost: £2.50 Found at: Morrison's I don’t hate this at all. Looks like jerky, tastes like jerky – I’d eat this again. I will eat this again. It’s sweet and peppery and they even got the stringy texture right. Sure, it’s not a perfect meat substitute, but who cares? It tastes good.... Continue Reading →
Brand: Sainsbury’s On the Go Cost: £3 Found at: Sainsbury’s This is one of those snacks that feels like it was created by a marketing team with a dartboard of buzzwords. It’s got pickles, it’s got root vegetables, it’s got turmeric – it’s got so many healthy things that you cannot call yourself health... Continue Reading →
Brand: Nim’s Cost: £1.15 Found at: Tesco What do you get when you take the water out of a watermelon? I’m eating it, and I still don’t know. What I do know is that this is not some sanitized version of a watermelon – the greatest hits, so to speak – this is the... 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: £3 Found at: Morrisons I have always insisted (and quite loudly, too) that to truly enjoy vegan food, you need to stop trying to re-create non-vegan dishes. 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: Cofresh Cost: £0.39 Found at: Tesco I am sure that there is such a thing as too much coconut. One day, I will eat something and think to myself: ‘that was a little too much coconut for me.’ I genuinely thought that this coconut bar might be the one to send me over... 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: Estrella Cost: 35KR Found at: ICA Emil and I are snackers. We like to snack. But we are very different in our snack preferences. While I am a sweets girl all the way, munching on chocolates and candies all day long, Emil does not really go in for sweet food between meals. He... Continue Reading →
