Review- M&S NEW Spirit of Summer: Peach Cobbler Luxury Yogurt

I realise some of you may already be into the full swing of all things Autumn but since it's still well into the 20ºCs where I am, with glorious sunshine forecasted for all of next week, combined with the fact that Autumn does not officially start until the 22nd September.. I have a few more SoS reviews to chuck at you. Not many. A few. Less than a handful. Let's do this! 

Peach flavoured yogurt with peach pieces and a sweet crumb. 

Yogurt! Despite not usually being one to buy such a thing, this Peach Cobbler Luxury Yogurt grabbed my attention (Who doesn't like peach? Who doesn't like cobbler?) and with a bit of a push, I soon nabbed myself the Veggie A-OK, 150g pot for an unknown price as I've lost the receipt. Oops.  

From first spoonage, the thickness of yogurt was plain to see with a ploppy, dropping consistency - I suppose if you're having yogurt, you want it of a decent texture rather than like soup, right?! Very smooth, somewhat sticky and extremely creamy tasting, the peach aspect was potent with an abundance of big chunks of fruit throughout, adding extra hits of sweetness. Now, where was the Cobbler I hear you ask? Your guess is as good as mine.. There was none! Absolutely nothing, not a glimpse or taste even with a good dig about and stir - Pathetic!

Overall, this Spirit of Summer Peach Cobbler Luxury Yogurt is a massive let down. It isn't unpleasant by any means but nothing makes it stand out - I wouldn't say it's all that luxurious and given the total MIA Cobbler.. It really is just any old Peach Yogurt which I am sure you could get a dupe for anywhere.. And probably cheaper considering M&S pricing! It's a 1 out of 5 from me. 

Review- M&S Peach Melba Slices

These Peach Melba Slices were another item I bought from Marks & Spencer's Dessert Menu Range. They were on an introductory offer of £2.62 for 2 slices. 

Sponge layered with peach and raspberry jellies, vanilla and peach mousses and white chocolate, finished with a glaze, dusted with icing sugar. 

First of all, these were a nightmare to get out of the packaging. The box recommended sliding a knife 'carefully' under the base of each slice whilst holding the tray for support.. Because that clearly was always going to work. I ended up tipping them out onto their side whilst trying not to buff the tops. After much faffing about, I finally got stuck in. They smelt mildly fruity but had very little taste! I couldn't distinguish any sort of flavour from the jellies or even sweetness from the white chocolate. They were mainly just sickly from all the bland creamy mousse! Texture wise they were equally as unpleasant - It was all very mushy until you chomped down on an underripe peach. Very poor! 

I don't know what M&S are playing at with this new Dessert Menu Range - These slices are just as naff as the English Afternoon Tea Desserts, I reviewed a few weeks back. Thank goodness they are Limited Edition and hopefully won't be around for long! It's another, 0 out of 5 from me.
