i made a birds chocolate trifle a few weeks back with the kids (from asda).. YUK! never again.. it was horrid, chocolate mousse at the bottom followed by a rank chocolate custard and then the birds topping.. i much prefer the normal trifle's but thats just my opinion.. oh an the kids, they didnt like it either and for a 3 & 5 yr old it must be bad lol

Home-made trifle tastes much better than birds.I tried it once when it was on offer but i won't again.However if you like chocolate mousse go for it.

Hot news on the hydrebad rice snacks. As you know I am devoted to this thread so once again was forced to try one in the interests of research. The rice was really nice basmati, cooked perfectly and in a tasty sauce that was not mushy at all. I really liked it- it is very spicy and more like Indian home cooked food I might eat at my friends than takeaway flavours.It will be an ideal lunch- haven't tried the paneer one but all bodes well. The kids liked it too, though they are used to spicy food.
Really happy with my order this time!

These are now on the site in 4packs- 3 for 99p. Anyone tried them? Also official merchandise winegums from Manchester United and Liverpool. No weight given, 40p a pack or 3 for a pound, so I'm thinking they must be big packs, not tubes. But I am not ordering any unless they get Southend ones in...:p

Dove Milk Chocolate - Caramel - 40g bar
No info yet

Dove is the name for Galaxy in the States. So expect it will be just like a Galaxy caramel bar.

Wondered if anyone has tried the lemon truffle cake thing?

Jazzy_B

Yes. It wasn't what I was expecting. It's a 200g dark choc covered bar, filled with a lemon mousse. It tastes like a lemon chocolate, and I don't really like soft centre chocs.I didn't like it much, but it seems to have disappeared. Now there's a surprise!
Has anyone tried the Polish chocs?

Sometimes the recipe can be different in different countries so try to get confirmation before posting. From wikipedia entry it seems it is, so updated. Was waiting till had time to try to find ingredients as well.

I have had Dove before and it tastes just the same as Galaxy. Can't wait to get hold of some at the weekend lol!!!!
