This months box had an international theme and contained products from Germany, Ireland, Portugal, Italy, South Africa, the USA and India from brands such as Kinder, Cirio, Kingfisher and Scheckters Organic Energy.
IdrinQ (original) - 2 x £1.35I didn't like this as much as the Scheckters drink but it was ok, and didn't taste too synthetic. The blurb claims that "IdrinQ® is a new generation drink, which helps to think smarter. Things that were challenging become simpler and everything seems clearer and more in focus. It is great for idea generation and creativity. It helps to separate the important from unimportant. With IdrinQ® everything clicks!" Well it didn't make me into Stephen Hawkins but it did give me a lift.
Barrys Tea teabags - £1.75I don't drink tea but Hubby seemed impressed with these. He says the bags make a good strong brew and he'd been keen to add these to our weekly shop. Barry's is an Irish brand but available to buy here too.
Veetee microwaveable rice - 2 x £1.49
There were two varieties in the box - Peri Peri and Spicy Mexican style. They are quick and simple and are ready in minutes. Of the two I preferred the Peri Peri flavour, it went really well with the Schwartz curry we made. The rice is actually available in 17 different flavours so I'll be looking out for some more to try. Cirio Tomato Fillets and Double Concentrate of Tomatoes - £1.69 + £1.20They were great to add to curries and pasta sauces but not very different to any other brands of tomato base products, and to buy are quite a bit more expensive.
Nandos peri-peri chicken crisps in three flavours – peri-salted, spicy chicken and sizzling hot - 3 x 69pI was expecting so much more from these. I adore Nandos and was expecting similar flavours. They were quite plain with not much flavouring. The peri salted was much hotter than the sizzling hot flavor which was very surprising. I think they'd be fine to accompany a dip but I wouldn't buy them to eat by themselves.
Scheckter's Organic Energy caffeine blend - £1.35
I didn't think I'd like this but I did! It didn't taste like an energy drink. It doesn't have an artificial flavor and was quite light and refreshing.
Kinder chocolate - £1.55 x 2
Both packets of the Kinder chocolates are delicious. I've bought both varieties since and they're already firm favourites in out house.Kingfisher - £2 - this is only in the alcohol friendly boxes
I've had this many times before and I love it. It's clean and crisp and very refreshing. It's an Indian beer and we usually have it when we go to our local Indian restaurant.
Wonjo hibiscus drink - this is only in the non alcoholic box
I quite liked this. I was great over ice and I imagine it would taste great with a tiny touch of alcohol for a summer cocktail. It's made from 100% natural ingredients by Chosan, an independent producer of healthy and exotic drinks.
We loved these. They were quick and simple to use and were both very tasty. They went perfectly well with the microwaveable rice. I've since bought both flavours again.
The cookies are New York inspired and come individually wrapped. I wasn't really a fan of these straight from the packet but they were delicious microwaved for a few seconds. They're the perfect companion for a hot cup of coffee.
