I passed these biscotti from Great British Biscotti Co on to my Grandad for his expert opinion as I can’t eat them. He gave them a rave review, and they certainly look delicious. Made with only the finest ingredients and available in 20 different flavours, this particular variety left us with high hopes for more greatness from the brand which is soon to be available on Ocado and Amazon.

I’m addicted to Mighty Fine honeycomb and usually grab myself a sharing bag when I’m in Waitrose. These single portion bars are a welcome addition to the range and I highly recommend the Salted Caramel flavour. I’m not usually a Salted Caramel girl, but for this I make exception. You can find these in Sainsbury’s Local stores nationwide. Think next level Crunchie.

The product of the month this month was Capsicana cook sauces which I confess I haven’t tried yet. I haven’t been at home much to cook but I cannot wait to rustle up some fajitas with these- particularly the chilli and lime variety. I’ve used this brand’s products before and they really pack a powerful flavour punch so I have high expectations for these.

I had intended to save these Brioche Pasquier pains au lait for a savoury hotdog (veggie dog) filling, but as is prone to happen I got distracted by the bright and bold packaging and lure of a sweet and easy snack and munched them as are. It’s a bit cliche these days but I love brioche paired with savoury flavours so I am planning to repurchase soon for a BBQ feast. Having refused BBQ food for the best part of 16 years, this year I can’t get enough!

I’ve been eyeing up these Peckish BBQ rice crackers (and other varieties) in Sainsburys for a while now but never got round to buying them, therefore I couldn’t wait to try these. Light and crispy, with a good strong BBQ flavour these are baked rather than fried, gluten free and under 100 calories per portion. I’m looking forward to trying more from the brand.

I’ve long been an advocate of the Frylight brand as I still have a phobia of actual oil. The Avocado oil variety can withstand higher temperatures than other types making it ideal for stir-fries (although Bob and I mostly use it in our toastie maker)

Another product I haven’t got around to yet is this Idahoan Gratin Bake. It sounds delicious though, and is a quick and fuss free way to whip up a BBQ side dish. Assuming it’s as tasty as it sounds then this is a genius idea and I will report back once I’ve had a go.

As you can see, there was quite a selection of drinks in the June box- I skipped straight over the Fyre fruit drinks I’m sorry to say. I’m not a fan of anything but fruit in my drinks and the idea of added spice left me feeling a bit squeamish. As a concept though I think they are great, if you have tried these I’d love to know what you thought.

The Raspberry Roller cider from Rosie’s Pig when to my Dad who enjoyed it chilled, as an easy drink at the end of a long and hot day. At £2.00 a can it seems reasonably priced and looks and feels more premium than many flavoured ciders on the market.

There’s not much one can say about Orangina that hasn’t already been said. Unless you’ve lived under a rock you’ll be aware of the brand. That being said, Bob and I still very much enjoyed these bottles straight from the fridge after a very hot day. It’s a classic for a reason.

Finally we have no&more rapsberry & blueberry water. I’m trying to up my water intake but it has to be flavoured so finding one that tastes decent, with no added sugar or anything artificial is always a priority. I liked this and would definitely buy it if I saw it in a shop near me. It also comes in Tangerine & Mango which I’m 100% seeking out as well as a couple of other flavours.

For those who don’t yet know, Degustabox* is a monthly food subscription box that gives you the chance to try new and exciting products on the market whilst providing amazing value for money.
On a month by month basis the box costs £12.99 (with a discount for longer subscriptions) but the contents are generally worth far more than this as you can see if you do the maths.

If you’re persuaded to give Degustabox a go (and really, you should) you can claim a brilliant £5.00 off of your first box (making it just £7.99!) by entering the code 6HZJ8 at the checkout. It’s been a pleasure to work with the brand regularly over the last couple of years and it’s without a doubt something that I will continue to purchase long after our partnership ends. I love the monthly surprise and excitement as well as the chance to discover products I’d otherwise pass up on the supermarket shelves.
Let me know if you’ve tried any of these products and what you thought of them.
