Fruit Pastilles/Pastilhas de Fruta

Category: Sweets/Doces
Brand: Sweet Corner
Supermarket: Lidl

Cost: « £1.00



This is a 230g package of Fruit Pastilles. Pastilles is the most similar name to describe this sweet, since its consisty after chewing is a bit as gelly that doesn't melt in one's mouth. I would say the effect is similar to "sugus" - for those who remember this candy by it's name and brand although the appearance is different.  

The package says it comes in 5 flavours: Strawberry, orange, lemon, blackcurrant and lime. 

Looking close to the Nutrition Table one can see the value of ONE SINGLE piece of this candy. Each a 23g as 13.9g of sugar. Man! That's a lot!!!

One can actually see the amount of sugar falling out of the candy is so much that it could help top up your sugar pot at home.

Flavour wise is not great. Is almost plaint. It tastes like... artificial flavours mixed with a hight dose of sugar. 
This candy business is getting VERY ugly. The nutrition values are a joke the companies play upon, by intentionally giving misleading labels, the ingredients suffer from the same deception. All packages come with a "No artificial colours" label on it. But if the colours, some how , are NOT artificial... then the flavour is. 

I will give this a 1 out out 5. 


PT:
Estas pastilhas de fruta têm 23 gramas cada sendo que cada tem 13.9 gramas de açúcar!

Classifico-as com um 1 numa escala de 1 a 5. Não são saborosas, a consistência é esquisita e são uma bomba calórica que nem devia existir no mercado.

Cheese: Milbona's French Brie (Lidl)

Imagem
Category: Cheese Brand: Milbona Supermarket: Lidl Cost: £1.65 First thing one notices when going to open this package of Milbona's French Brie cheese is the stamp with the info: NOT FOR EU. (European Union). One has to ask WHY is that so. We all know United Kingdom left the EU for economical benefits yet,  have this reasons been beneficial for UK citizens? Well, here is an intriguing product: a cheese "MADE IN FRANCE" (which is European Union) not meant to reach supermarket shelves in any other countries of the European Union. Here's a photo of the listed ingredients and the production/distribution addresses. One HAS TO WONDER what CRITERIA is there not being MET so to be legal to sale this cheese in the United Kingdom but NOT in France where it is "made".  Cuts open easily, keeps its consistency. It's not flavored. But it is nice. Smooth. It goes well inside bread. The texture is what makes this cheese interesting. I will give it a 5 out of 5 .  Is t...

The first ZERO

Imagem
  Category:  Pastry Brand:   Supermarket:  Lidl Cost: £0.89 Part of the "LIMITED offer" segment, Lidl supermarket is now selling this trendy Pistachio Brioche . In reality, a croissant, which description says " flaky butter filled with a sweet pistachio cream, frequently topped with pistachio pieces or icing ". As one can see from the image this ones are NOT topped with pieces of the fruit they just have a string of icing. Lets cut it open to see how it is inside.  I bought two in case I really adored the flavor. I was "starving" when I gave my first bite. It's bland.  The cream has no flavor, not even a bit of it. The dough is also not nice. It's not flaky it is just a pasty flavorless texture demanding a lot of chewing. You just want to spit it out.    Veredict:   Strait into the BIN!  I will give this my first OFF SHART evaluation: A ZERO. For just HORRIBLE !

Dandelion Drink / Bebida dente-de-leão

Imagem
Category:  Drinks/Bebidas Brand:  Barr Supermarket:  B&M Cost: £0.65p This curious fuzzy drink clames to taste of Dandelion. So I had to try it. The ingredients explain that the flavour is obtain by a mix of caramel, acid and sweeteners. Meaning: all lab chemicals.   The Nutrition Table is appealing: NO SUGARS on this sweet drink. How can that be? Well, its all about semantic. Because no REAL sugar is used. The label is correct although the use of sweeteners makes the drink as sweet as sugar and most likely more harmful than the natural product.                                 It has a brown color with a touch of sparkling.  But it doesn't upsets your stomach as coke would do. It looses the spark quite quickly after being pored into a glass. Keeps it wile in the can.  It has a pleasant taste. Some that is uncommon and not easy to find. I give it a 4 out of 5 .  PT:...
