Food and Drink: Spy It... Buy It?

Original post by LinzyLoo
What a haul at the weekend! First of all, from Sainsburys, hoisin duck crisps, Cadbury Nutty Caramel (was disappointed, the nuts were kinds stale and felt chewy. Is this normal?) And sweet apple and cinnamon popcorn. Already munched 2/3 of these purchases.
Next pic...(I'm doing this on my phone and not sure how/if it's working)
From B&M..Mackie's Arran honey mustard crisps. Mackie's crisps are AMAZING. Some Coles pasta sauce. This excited me because Coles is a big supermarket in Australia, like Oz's Tesco. I was in Australia in May visiting my friend and it brought back memories. Also everything is ridiculously expensive over there and I think that this imported sauce is actually cheaper in B&M than it is an Australia, which is odd. Annnnyway.... Also got some biscuits which have choc goo in the middle, like Quirks, but not crap. Except these taste like coconut, which I don't really like. Also tiramisu flavoured cake ball things (not tried yet) and a Pot Noodle I hadn't seen before. I don't really like Pot Noodles but I bought one each for me and the boyfriend as he loves them for some reason. Oh and a little chocolate crispy bar thing which was pretty rubbish, and white choc Crunch bar, which I know you can get here but I thought it might be different.
Pic 3.
The crisps Toto bought. The silton and port ones weren't veggie
Sainsburys chocolate covered pretzels, M&S little mini squares (rubbish), white choc clusters, TUC paprika flavour (soooooo nice!!), veggie Colin the Caterpillar!! I knew Veggie Percy existed but veggie Colin is new to me. Excitement! And a Galler bar I haven't tried before.
Phew!

What are they like? I enjoy a kit kat, especially the dark chocolate ones - more so than milk, so I've not tried the cookies n cream one as can't imagine it tasting much different to regular milk chocolate

It basically tastes like a normal Kit Kat with a very subtle twist to it... its not noticably cookies and cream flavour but still good if you like kit kat!

They're interesting, I think more flavoursome than a regular kitkat. My boyfriend eats like 3 in a sitting lol

I was in the Shawlands one last week , good stuff in there.Good, I love mustard so that's what I'm hoping for! Sadly those are the only items left from that huge haul - everything is has been munched already
But I bought loads of cool stuff in the Polish shop yesterday (all of which is all gone now also, god how am I not fat yet)... B&M seem to be popping up all over the place now! I hadn't even heard of it until a few months ago. I go to the one in Linwood. It's been a good two weeks now so I think another visit is overdue... :POriginal post by MelissaJayne

They are better. I can take or leave Kit Kats generally. The regular milk choc ones are nice but a bit ordinary. But the cookies n cream one... oh yes
That is insane, I love wensleydale with cranberries . Im really intrugued as to what that tastes like.
What's banoffee toffee? I thought banoffee was banana and toffee. So what's banana and toffee...and toffee? Yo dawg, heard you like toffee..

Today in Tesco, SPIED DID NOT BUY.
WHY DOES THIS EXIST.

AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Edit.....
Spied and bought these:
Greek salad flavour Lay's!! They actually tasted exactly like greek salad, it was scarily accurate. Really tasty. That packet you see there is empty - I munched the whole bag in one go which shows how good they were. I also bought honey glazed ribs flavour (both were from the Polish shop). I didn't have time to translate all the ingredients at the time so I just bought them and hoped they would be veggie friendly (after all, most meat flavoured crisps are) but after 20 minutes of using the polish dictionary on my phone to type the ingredients into my translator app (and downloading a translator app) ...it turned out they had pork powder in them
I gave them to the boyfriend and his flatmate. I also bought a wheel-shaped white choc wafer bar which was pretty chewy and stale, but I always find that chocolate from Polish shops is in really dodgy condition. I wonder why.....Oh and also bought Snickers Peanut Butter Squared, one of my favourite choc bars of all time, and a Snickers Almond which was nowhere near as good. These weren't from the Polish shop.

The second picture shows sense of scale; that's them on the top plate, on the bottom plate are full slices of "normal" cakes. GIGA.
