Shambhu's: Mint Choc Chip Cheesecake

Ok another top thing you need to go out and buy, this cheesecake. Possibly the best cheesecake I've eaten. There's a nice texture to the smooth biscuit base, and just the right ratio of 'cheese' to biscuit. Plus is has chocolate chips on top! And the mint flavour is dead on (I'm not explaining this very well) its just well balanced and sweet. Really, really moorish! I want to eat this again, I just want moarh! 5/5

Tesco: Raspberry Sorbet

Haven't been on the blog for a while now, lazy, but here's something to get your taste-buds going. This is one of my favourite frozen things in a tub, it's just so good. The raspberry flavour is really nice and strong, the texture is light and fluffy, and I can't really say anything bad about it. There's no bits, in case you were wondering, and it leaves a clean aftertaste. I like it best when it's starting to melt - try it for yourself. This is 5/5 for me!

inSpiral: Raw Banoffee Creme Tart

Today I found another banoffee dessert and decided I had to try it. This one is quite different to the pot I tried Pudology, as it's raw vegan and I'm guessing more healthier. This cake slice made by inSpiral has three layers - to copy and paste from their product page:

"Layer one: a light and uplifting coconut, sunflower seed and date crust
Layer two: banana, date & coconut cream “caramel”
Layer three: a filling creamy layer of young coconut flesh, pure raw extract of banana (from the wonderful medicine flower company) and xylitol. Xyltiol is a very low G.I sweetener extracted from the sap of the Birch Tree (yes, that elegantly beautiful silver tree from the English forest). Xylitol is also used in dental products as it has been found to aid in the prevention of cavities."

And the taste? I quite like this. The strongest flavours are banana and coconut - with coconut pieces being the aftertaste. The texture is fairly dense, much like a cheesecake. I think it would benefit from a firmer base as there's a fairly even texture running throughout. I do miss the toffee taste of banoffee - but I suppose this is raw, and that would make it not raw - plus its hard to put that in a semi-fresh product. That aside - very nice - and I can recommend it for any banoffee / raw fans out there. 4/5

Pudology: Banoffee Pud

Today I am enjoying this potted dessert from Pudology. The tubs are a bit small but the pudding is quite rich and they're worth getting for the taste. This banoffee one comes with 3 layers; a biscuit layer at the base, a banana/toffee layer, and a chocolate top. It's hard to really tell what the biscuit layer tastes like because the chocolate and banana are quite strong but I think it's really there for texture anyway. The banana toffee layer is my favourite part. It's very rich and creamy smooth. If you like the taste of banoffee pie this will be enjoyable for you also. The chocolate top tastes quite dark and tastes like the richest layer. It's ok on it's own, but for me the layers are best when eaten together! There are also other flavours available but I haven't tried those. It's almost a five, a really nice vegan treat 4/5.

Organica: Vegan Dark Chocolate Bars

The golden coconut bar is really good. I found the dark chocolate but doesn't taste that dark; it's quite thin layer of chocolate and the coconut centre is quite sweet inside. The texture is nice as well. I think it could do with more chocolate around the outside,  maybe use a vegan milk chocolate and for the bar to be bigger. 4/5

In the hazelnut nougat bar the dark chocolate is more noticeable. There are no solid nut pieces  just two layers inside. One is like the nut layer kind of similar to a nut butter and the other is a pale yellow nougat layer. I would be more of a fan of it if it had nuts because it would make the texture a bit more diverse. It's still nice, but like the coconut bar its bit small and i would prefer the chocolate to be less dark. 3/5

Blue Dragon: Won Ton Soup

One of the more interesting soups I've had lately - probably one the nicest too. On the can and on the website it does say "Suitable for Vegans", though you may notice a strange ingredient listed...'Chicken Flavouring'. I also checked the website again when I bit into one of the parcels... kind of meaty. But I think it was some soy protein (I hope). Most of the soup is watery, but in a nice way. Really nice, strong balanced flavour, and a smidgen of vegetables. Then are about 4 parcels with some veg and this mince style stuff. These are also really good. And overall the soup tastes quite fresh. Though when you open the can it smells a bit pet food... slightly. But don't let that put you off, it's really nice. Maybe as small meal or shared with some other bits. 5/5

Sainsbury's: Tomato Pasta Pots

I bought a few different pasta pots from Sainsbury's the other day knowing full well they might be quite dissapointing. But - I wanted to see if there was any real difference in how they tasted. I think there are 3 different types of pot, the two pictured are the midrange 'Tomato & Basil Pasta 550g' and basic 'Tomato & Herb Pasta 400g'. I also had a roasted vegetable one which was pretty much the same and I think only 300g but the same price as the 550.
The common problem they all share is that the sauce is quite acidic, and by quite I mean very. The 550g pot was my least favourite, and I was really hungry when I ate it too which usually makes me less fussy. I did eat them all but disappointment was in the air. It wasn't nice and tomatoey just very sharp and acidic. I think the only reason I finished it was because I was so hungry. The other two pots were less bad, but they tasted like they were trying to cover up the acidic taste with garlic and some other bitter taste. Not surprisingly the sauce in the more expensive 300g pot tasted the best but only just. It had a rich flavour but was very strong in the garlic and acid department too. The basics pot was OK, at first it tastes alright and then once you've swallowed you start getting this acid aftertaste. It's just weird - it smells normal but why make them all so acidic. I can only think its the shelf life. Don't get me wrong I might buy one again if I wanted some pasta for lunch, but you'd want something else too. Half marks I think 2.5/5 (decimals over fractions I know...)
