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.0 -

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

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.0

Oooh we have had lots that was lovely!

Big tubs of popcorn

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.

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.Free/impartial debt advice: Consumer Credit Counselling Service (CCCS) | National Debtline | Find your local CAB0 -
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...;)Member no.1 of the 'I'm not in a clique' group :rotfl:
