    The satay was good- I tried to put more than 2 bits of chicken on the skewers and had loads left over- there are plenty of sticks.
    All the cakes are worryingly good- they are miles over their sell by dates, but it doesn't seem to matter.
    I like the Ainsley harriott soups, Lloyd grossmann sauces and also the dried milk is great for making yoghurt.
    The tomato ryvitas are good too.
    The only 2 things we've not been sure about are the Polish sausage and beans jar, and the swedish fudge. The puldiska has a sort of bbq smoky flavour that some liked and some didn't; the fudge was a bit non-descript- a cross between fudge and toffee maybe?
    Then there is the Hib drinks which I liked, everyone drank but quite a few members of the family thought were a bit floral and sweet for their taste.
  • also the dried milk is great for making yoghurt.

    a little off subject but could you pm me with how to make yoghurt pls?

    was thinking the 'full of beans' range would be good with yoghurt or cereal but if i could make yog all the better!

    cheers,

    it's nice to be important but more important to be nice!! :kisses3:
  • Marmite was great
    Treacle Tarts
    Quaker Porridge Oats
    Case of Diet Pepsi cans (still drinking and ordered well before christmas)
    Red kidney beans
    Grapefruit segements (lovely)
    Splenda (keeps my diabetic dad happy)
    Box of golden wonder crisps (keeps me supplied for packed lunches)
    Marzipan eggs!! (im crazy for marzipan so keep ordering these)
    Soreen plum loaf (made in bread and butter pudding last week and it was great)
    Hompride cooking sauces
    Mini pringles were very welcome
    Sharwoods prawn crackers (ready to eat so hassle free)
    Giant popcorn (also to keep dad happy)

    I can't remember what else I ordered!
  • I have to agree about splenda being great for diabetics esp as it tastes like sugar and not artificial sweetner. It means my gran can have cheesecake again.

    Oooh we have had lots that was lovely!

    Chicken and sweetcorn soup - didnt last long!
    Big tubs of popcorn
    Honey nut cornflakes - should have ordered lots more because they went like a flash!
    Pink and white jammies - I didnt get any of those :rotfl:
    Tropicana Spirit drink
    Orange juice - was great for the kids to take with them
    Cloudy lemonade
    H2Oh water
    Brownies - they were to die for, if Dan gets any more of those in then I am just going to buy the pallet :rotfl:
    Huge jar of Nutella, bargain!
    Mrs Crimbles gluten free snacks, coming to the end of them now :eek: but they have been great.
    Apple and Mango drink - same as the OJ
    Britvic Lime grove and raspberry, all of them loved this one.
    Fabulous Bakin boys cupcakes - fantastic value for money and everyone loves them.
    CWC Cashews - Dan needs to sell out of these soon because they are addictive. I have to hide the tins otherwise the locust in our house eat them before I get anywhere near them.
    Maltesers hot chocolate drink - a firm favourite in our house.

    As you can see, we have used AF on a regular basis, and I have not found a fault with any of the food yet :T Keep up the good work Dan.

    I have liked everything we tried so far except the chicken and sweetcorn soup.
    Faves were the brownies, balisto bars, kids like the fruit shoot flavoured water, the cookie mix is excellent and the ice cream mix (that was a while back) is LOVELY Like to see that again...;)

    Can't think of anything we haven't liked really:confused::p

    Loved the chocolate brownies - I'd order masses of them if Dan gets any more!
    Like the fasolka (spicy sausage, bean & bacon) makes a lovely change to beans on toast.
    Kidney beans & jalapeno peppers are fab in chilli.
    Honey nut cornflakes also gorgeous (about to start last box)
    Down to our last soreen, but that's been fab as well:p
    Korma & Tikka Masala sauces are great.
    Small jars of honey are gorgeous (& I don't even like honey! but like this)
    Club Orange drinks are addictive - have had trays & trays of them now.
    Diet coke plus has been great for hubby to take to work.
    Tomato cup-a-soup is gorgeous (according to hubby)
    Popcorn was fab when that was available
    marzipan eggs pretty tasty
    Baking boys cakes - def edible
    McCoys crisps & pringles all fab
    Hob-Nobs were brill
    Campells tomato & mushroom soups also great
    fresh orange cartons been great with breakfast
    tesco chilli ketchup fine with chips/kebabs etc (but not very hot/spicy)
    The gluten free bakewell & country slices were very tasty (think they were Mrs Crimbles).
    Tray of diet pepsi from before Christmas didn't last long.
    Sugar free 7UP was great.
    Typhoo t-bags are fab.
    All the chocolate has been great (whole nut, snickers, mars, fruit & nut, peanut M&Ms).

    I know we've had more stuff than this & it's all been fine at the very least (some of it has been gorgeous:p).

    edited coz I remembered more:
    picallilli - gorgeous
    baby beetroot - really nice
    nutella - brilliant
    Got 2 satay kits in to try - must get some chicken, but sounds promising from other comments.
    Smile and be happy, things can usually get worse!
