Approved food discussion thread

A question about : Approved food discussion thread

hi guys!

this is a new thread ONLY for what you have tried and liked or for comments about ingredients for people allergic / sensitive to new ingredients.

i thought it was about time we started a new thread which is NOT complaining about delivery times etc.

so... to start off with my faves are as follows:

cadburys choc melting pots - had two orders so far!
night and day coffee - got about 15 x 250g in stock - love it and have given some to mum
peanut butter - only got 6 jars but oh is so pleased
nutella - great for a quick choccy fix!
splenda sweetner - fantastic for oh as diabetic
satay chicken - trying it out tomorrow but looks good (and i used to work in a chinese resturant!)

so this thread is JUST ABOUT THE FOOD!!! please no nasty comments - lets just talk food (my fave subject!)

thank you to all

• Oooh huge jars of Nutella for cheap as chips! Haven't dared open the second one in case it disappears as quick as the first!
  Crosse & Blackwell Pasta n Sauces and Savoury Rices are fab!
  Satay chicken pack - bought for OH not yet tried it but I think he's drooling! Includes everything but the chicken!
  The Wrigleys Orange Sugar Free gum - god that stuff tastes good!
  Treacle tarts - YUM!
  Sage & Onion stuffing - fantastic stuff.
  Diet Coke Plus - hadn't tried this before but excellent value!
  Kidney beans - double sized cans - good thing we love chilli!
  All at a great price! Luv ya Dan
• The satay chicken is great,didnt use the onion in it though.made the chicken breast very tender and even my two little ones liked it without the satay sauce on there's.Pop corn was nice very large tubs. great buys all round
• big squeezy tubs of marmite
  yum yum
• Ooh yes, I forgot about the Marmite! I use it as stock (less salt!) so will last me ages, but I'm sure I ordered two....:confused:
• i thought the kidney beans were great and the bottles of coke...they will last a while
• Not got order through, but thought could offer dietary information for a few items to save people having to look them up themselves.

  I'll do a few more tomorrow, getting a bit late and I have to go out early in morning.
• 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.
• 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
  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
  Huge jar of Nutella, bargain!
  Mrs Crimbles gluten free snacks, coming to the end of them now 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 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:
  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
  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).
  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.
• Oh yeah - the pot noodles were fabulous at 12 for Ј1. Really wish we'd had more of them:rolleyes:
• the tesco hot chilli tomato ketchup 20p a bottle. Very tasty with cold lamb and pittas
  My kids also love the irish tomato sauce. 2 for Ј1.much more tasty than the leading brands.
  The lloyd grossman sauces are yum as well.
