Snacks! Reviews/'reviews' welcome

When I ate bugs Christmas before last, I swear I could taste them/ feel them in my teeth for months.

I had those stories (couldn't remember whose exactly) in mind as I ate them... but thankfully not in teeth. The legs were frazzled up under the ant's head/body, definitely there but hard to get stuck in the jaws.

Hang on - I don't like any of these stories. I was told that insects might be the solution to food sourcing problems in the future. No-one says they taste like crap for days afterwards when they say the former...

When they talk about making food from insects, I don't think they mean roasting he whole thing, legs and wings, so it still looks like a bug. They'd be pasting them to make something like quorn I expect.

I think I'd rather have the whole insects to be honest.

Chocolate Brownie Oreos

Have you ever had an Oreo and thought, "If only this tasted more like a Bourbon Cream?"

Pros:

• Delicious taste
  
• Suitable for vegetarians and vegans
  

Cons:

• Lacks the sharp taste of the original Oreo
  
• For some reason, these never last long
  

Mmmm rating: 7/10

A packet of Oreos looks to be a similar size to any other packet of biscuits, but each Oreo takes up three times the space so it doesn't last as long.

They are a bit of a rip in that regard, yes.

Further, I've been snacking more. It's another twofer.

Vegan Cornetto

Because you have to try these things. Ice cream is one of life's sweetest pleasures and we don't have so much of it around these parts any more.

Pros:

• Tastes similar enough to the original
  
• Shows that Walls are thinking about the vegan community
  

Cons:

• Doesn't quite taste like the original
  
• Only one flavour so far
  

Mmmm rating: 8/10

In addition to the above

Hartley's Cloudy Jelly (Lemonade Flavour)

Saw this, picked it up.

Pros:

• Lovely sharp taste
  
• Gives you that jelly fix
  

Cons:

• Relatively expensive
  
• Almost felt like it hadn't set when I took it out of the fridge... but it had!
  

Mmmm rating: 6/10

I've seen a few vegan friends bigging up the current vegan ice cream scene. Good to see!
