Island in the stream.
I bought a few Marks' steam puddings recently and they were really nice so I thought I'd try out the Heritage ones in my local supermarket. Big mistake. Heritage is the sort of brand that any self-respecting store wouldn't stock because they are beyond tasteless. They're like someone got out a chemistry set, cooked up a batch and then sent them off to the shops.
The sponge is, well, it defies description really. I suppose the closest I can come to it is chewing on a piece of rubber foam. And there's a liquid in the bottom of them that is whatever didn't solidify from the chemicals they created it with. It has a really acrid, chemically taste to it. No food taste whatsoever.
On the plus side, they'll keep for years.

Key Lime Pie. M&S pudding. Should have been nice. Wasn't.
I feel your pain. Nothing's so disappointing as a sinful, fattening, not good for you but pleasurable treat ... which turns out not to have been worth the bother. I don't really mind being disappointed by healthy or "virtuous" foods but an inadequate pudding is just cruel.

Key Lime Pie.
Had been sort of looking forward to trying this for a couple of years or so, in a non-urgent kind of way. M&S pudding. Should have been nice.
Wasn't.
real key lime pie is delicious...it's made authentically in Florida with "Key" limes (from the Fla keys.

Key Lime Pie is indeed delicious. It's a bit like a cheesecake. Well, the one I had was. Wasn't in Florida, though. Yorkshire 
I've just eaten a twinkie on the recommendation of Orang Utan. He was wrong and Miss Caphat was right. They ain't all that

Please try the M&S one and report back, so I've got something to compare it to.
I thought this would be the case, tbf. You can tell when Orang Utan goes so far to try to assert something, the opposite is almost certain to be the actual truth of the matter.I've just eaten a twinkie on the recommendation of Orang Utan. He was wrong and Miss Caphat was right. They ain't all that

Thinking of it now, don't they have an odd chemically aftertaste?

On some gardening programme a few weeks ago they visited a Jamaican chap who's been growing callaloo and anything else Jamaican which doesn't demand tropical sunshine for the last 25 years in a greenhouse on his allotment made out of old window frames. Finding the seeds might be more tricky though.

Oh, easy to find and they look a hundred times better in flower than I thought they would too. Want.

Ugh, really not a fan of them
especially when hot! Utterly vile. A proper one from Melton Mowbray is just about acceptable but not the one's you buy in supermarkets et al. Sad way for a pig to go...

M&S Key Lime Pie is rank. If you ever get the chance to eat a home-made one, do so.Please try the M&S one and report back, so I've got something to compare it to.

Tabouli - bulghar salad with mint. 
Curiously the mint tasted a bit like caraway.

You mean gala pork pie! I keep getting massive slices of it from the TB in Tesco, it's well nice. That and pork pies with beetroot on top.

http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=277732924 These delicious little fucks. Honestly, how anyone could open the pack and not eat every last one is beyond me. Very crunchy, highly seasoned and a good size (eaten easily in one bite but big enough for 2 if you don't want to look like a human bin lorry in front of people). Two thumbs up!

Me and eggs have grown on each other over the years, but poached ones I never really tried. My first and last attempts, which would have been 15 years back, were a sprawl of eggwhite marbled through the pot of water. I was given egg poachers that took longer to clean than cook with. I chucked them and gave the idea up. How could have they been better than a fried egg anyway.
So I've been trying again, but with a touch of vinegar and swirling the pot into a vortex just before popping the egg in and they're coming out lovely. On toast with a tomato or avocado with dressing. My current breakfast of choice.
How many eggs a week are you recommended to eat in a week before you start dying of eggy related heart attacks ?

Cool, but its ok if I keep the butter off the egg, but on the toast?
I think that you should be more concerned with the amount of butter you are consuming, regardless of whether there are any eggs in your diet.

I tried fried pigs' ears the other day. An experience, though probably wouldn't bother again.

Caviar d'arome - weird frogspawnish bobbles of (allegedly) toffee apple flavour that I was given at Christmas. We had it on ice cream. I won't be rushing to buy any.
