Vegan Apricot Kernels with Chilli Roast Flavour

From Tropical Wholefoods apricot kernels with a chilli roast flavour.  These are really good.  I have never apricot kernels before so this was a nice surprise.   On the pack it says apricot kernels are rich in mono and polyunsaturated fats and fibre.  The texture is a little like peanuts and the flavour is a gentle spiced taste which is created from tamari soy sauce, chilli and salt.   These make a great unusual snack.  I think they would be a good bar snack,  I can imagine having a cold beer with these.  Perfect for sharing

Each 50gram bag is suitable for vegans as far as  i can tell.  Fair trade.  Sold in health food shops.  Per 100grams is 545kcal.

I also like from Tropical Wholefoods their Pineapple Slices, very sweet and delicious.

Please note my reviews are always honest and unbiased, however I feel it only right to point out that the marketing team of Tropical Wholefoods did supply this product for me to review.

A spicy blend of gram flour noodles, puffed rice, green peas and peanuts from Haldirams.  Similar to a bombay mix in style it is a sweet and spicy collection which has curry and mango flavours.  It does taste good.  Perfect as a party or snack food.

Each 200gram bag is Suitable for Vegetarians, Vegan as far as I can tell.   Cholesterol Free.  I bought these from Tesco.  Made in India.

Cooperative Onion Bhajis

A pack of 6 onion bhajis from the cooperative.  Very tasty,  I liked these.  They were a good size,  the flavour is spiced just right, the texture is firm but easy to break into.  Very easy to cook and are perfect with an Indian meal or as a starter or a party food.  I had mine as a main course with a bit of light salad,  they were quite filling.  Oven cook for 14mins.

Each 300gram pack of 6 Bhajis is suitable for vegans, Per bhaji is 105kcal. From the fridge in the Coop.

These would go very well with the Pataks Pappadums.

John Bishops Comedy Veggie Sketch

I have just watched a really funny few minutes of John Bishop (standup comedian), doing a bit on Vegetarianism.   I had very similar experiences when I was growing up.

Well worth a watch via You Tube.  Here is the link:-
