Review- Birds Eye NEW Sweet Potato Waffles

Oh look.. Who this? I am back with another review! Who would have thought it? ..Not me, that's for sure.. Anyway.. Waffles!

Sweet or savoury, there is no two ways about it, Waffles are pretty darn amazing and should be eaten in vast quantities be it for Breakfast, Dinner, Pudding or just because. My enthusiasm reached sky high when Instagram informed me that trusty old Birds Eye were bringing out a NEW version of everyone's childhood favourite - The Sweet Potato Waffle! Giddy, I was - GIDDY!  

Deliciously crisp and fluffy, gluten free, no artifical colours, flavours or preservatives. Suitable for Vegans. Cook at 180ºC Fan for 15 minutes. 

MSW is to thank for finding these! It was when in Morrisons that she stumbled across this orange hued box of 8, priced at £2. She was so pleased with herself for finally locating them that she proceeded to sing down the phone "DO YOU LIKE WAFFLES? YES, YOU LIKE WAFFLES!". Some would call her mad.. I would call her bang on - I do like Waffles!*.     

Ahh aren't they cute!? I don't know whether I'm alone in this or if their shape really does just endear them to being loved universally but there is something wholesomely adorable about those little Waffle windows.. And tasty too, I might add! Soft and fluffy on the inside with the signature crispier outer, the contrasting textures were as lovely as ever. Flavour wise, I prayed that they wouldn't be as peppery as I find the Mcain Sweet Potato Smilies** and thankfully, they weren't! Subtly flavoured whilst still delivering that familiar "Bird's Eye" taste, I was initially a little disappointed by the lack of actual Sweet Potato flavour.. But found, the more I munched, the better they got and before I knew it, I'd consumed 4! 

Overall, these Sweet Potato Waffles aren't a bad edition to the Birds Eye range. It is a shame they are lacking in their namesake flavour.. But, they are still enjoyable, and make a nice change to the usual Potato Potato variety. Give them a go, it's a 4 out of 5 from me. 

*And pancakes and french toast too. 

**I realise to most that these have no spice but I am a wuss. 4 year olds can handle more than I. 

Review- Birds Eye NEW Homebake Cheese & Onion Rolls

Oo Cheese & Onion Rolls.. A Veggie alternative to the traditional meat, sausage jobby! - What a time to be alive! OK, so maybe it isn't all that revolutionary considering Greggs do sell such a thing as do numerous other places I expect but I've never seen a Frozen Homebake version before so.. YAY!

I picked up the pack of 4 "Snap & Bake" Birds Eye Rolls in Morrisons for £1.47 but they are currently on a 2 for £2 offer, if you fancy it. They promise to be packed full of delicious flavour with the freshest, lightest and flakiest pastry - Some quite bold claims there! 

I popped the Cheese & Onion Rolls (Including a very wiggly one) on a baking tray, ready to go into a 190ºC Fan oven for 20-25 minutes or until piping hot in the centre. As you can see, I didn't bother to snap mine as suggested but I did give it a go with the remaining Roll and it split in 2 as easy as peas.

Wahey! They cooked up a treat with gooey centres, golden puffed up pastry and minimal burnt bits! My oven has been so well behaved recently which probably means it's about to break.. Oh joy. 

Cutting the steaming Cheese & Onion Roll in two, it was plain to see the flaky layers with the soft and squidgy interior. Taking a bite, the texture was spot on with the pastry being, without a shadow of a doubt, the best I've ever experienced with a frozen Sausage Roll - It was buttery, light and all round delicious as promised. As for the melty filling which was a fab squidgy contrast to the crisp exterior, cheesiness and onion came through although I would have liked them both to be a little more potent as after a few mouthfuls, the flavour was a little mute.. But delicious nevertheless! 

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed these Birds Eye Cheese & Onion Rolls and am really quite happy to have stumbled across them. I will definitely be buying them again for a quick and easy Tea thats not only cheap but mighty tasty.. I'd imagine the Homebake Sausage version will also end up in my basket! It's a 4 out of 5 from me.
