Cathedral City - Hot Cheesy Bites (Iceland) [@NLi10]

 Iceland have done it again - make an oven ready version/range of something you recognise!

This time it's those big blocks of cheese.

Cathedral City is an acceptable brand to bring home as long as I don't accidentally pick Mild.

This is extra mature so a safe bet.  Easy enough to cook.

And there's only twelve so might as well do them all!

As a 'side' with a veggie curry for my partner and her sister they seemed to do well and worked like a very white version of paneer.  They did indeed get through all 12 with no issues and said that they were very good and suitably cheesy.  I have been asked to get more - so if they still exist (the downside to Iceland) then I'm sure we will have these as a replacement to the Chiquito's halloumi cubes that seem to have vanished again.

Hunky Dory’s Crinkle Cut Buffalo Flavour Potato Crisps (Iceland) By @SpectreUK

I do love beef flavoured potato crisps, especially with a beef sandwich. I reckon beef is pretty much my favourite flavour, well, after ready salted, and salt and vinegar crisps. I find they go the next best washed down with a pint of ale. Although, beef and steak flavoured crisps do go well with a pint of beer also. These Hunky Dory's Crinkle Cut Buffalo Flavour Potato Crisps sound like they would go well with a decent pint too.

One smell of these orange coloured crinkle cut crisps on opening the packet, and I immediately thought: Beef Jerky. My second thought weirdly was: crisp sandwich. Once in, I couldn't get the idea out of my head. So, I buttered a couple of pieces of bread, took one crisp to confirm their smoky sweet beef jerky flavour, and dumped the rest of the packet into my sandwich. I haven't had a crisp for a while, and as a filing, these Hunky Dory's Crinkle Cut Buffalo Flavour Potato Crisps certainly didn't disappoint. Gorgeous.

Cadbury Dairy Milk & More - Caramel Nut Crunch (Iceland) By @Cinabar

We have a newly released bar from Cadbury, and it is a UK edition too. This bar is from a new range called ‘& more', which is Diary Milk with extra chocolate. This particular edition is Cadbury Dairy Milk & More Caramel Nut Crunch. 

The bar is made with milk chocolate, a layer of gooey caramel, a layer of toffee, and a layer of chopped hazelnuts. The bar is big too; it is thick, and the pieces look big. 

I gave one a try, and firstly, I loved the different textures. I find that mix of softness and then crunch from the nuts very satisfying. The flavour is good too, but you need to be like me with a sweet together, the sweet Dairy Milk, and sugary toffee, and then a layer of caramel too. It is an indulgent treat. The nuts do bring a bit of a change to the flavour, and of course, they are crunchy, but ultimately, this is a yummy, sweet bar. I love nuts and chocolate, but I think I’d have preferred a few more nuts in there to add to the taste. I managed to eat a row of this Cadbury Dairy Milk & More Caramel Nut Crunch chocolate and then paused for a bit as it is rather a sweet delight. 

Tango Mango Editions (Iceland) By @Cinabar

Just because it rhymes, I think they should have made this ages ago. For the warmer weather, we have Mango Tango, which is surprisingly pleasant to say. It is also very summery-sounding, with thoughts of tropical weather and holidays. I will add that this is a sugar-free edition; these are becoming more popular, but I know some people are completely put off drinks that are made with artificial sweeteners and not proper sugar. I don’t mind either.

I poured the drink into a glass, and it was nice and fizzy, and well as a dark orange colour. The flavour was lovely; it was sweet and fruity and had just a touch of a sharp tang. It was the sort of sweet-tasting drink that was easy to guzzle. I think if it was a hot day, a can of this straight from the fridge would be the perfect accompaniment. 

Also, did I mention that the name Mango Tango rhymes, so it was obviously meant to be. 

Seriously Spooky Ghosts - Kitkat Sweet Potato (Korean) [@NLi10]

 Happy Halloween leftovers!  Spotted these in the Korean grocery shop, but obviously left over from Trick-Or-Treat.  They'd not been discounted but need to be eaten pretty fast.

The theming and bag is top notch - it even folds out to make a pumpkin display (if you can be bothered to colour it in)

As usual these are made in the one special KitKat factory in Japan they opened for all the weird flavours - and is just a specific regional variation.

Super packaging - all the same flavour though.

And that flavour is white chocolate kitkat.  Seriously - If I gave this to someone and said 'what does it taste of' then the answer would be white chocolate. 

No wonder then that at £5 a bag they had quite a few left.  Not disappointing - as these are still crunchy and taste great, but I think I paid a lot more just to recycle some spooky packaging in April.  Ah well.
