For too long the food of the UK has been ridiculed for its lack of adventure and experimentation. Although that reputation is easing up as we become famed for our street-food stalls and incredible chefs, region-wide particularly! However it is not solely those vendors delivering us exotic tastes but the supermarkets too!
Here are some of the quirkiest tastes you’ll encounter down those aisles:
Morrisons Cola Ketchup

This ultra-sweet sauce is one to purchase as an addition for the summer BBQ’s, if you dare! Yes, this may sound rather off-putting to some but the mixture of tart tommies with a candy cola edge will leave you nothing but thankful, upon tucking into your juicy burger or hot dog, this season! Inspired by the tastes of the deep south, this is a great way to experiment with flavours without having to hop aboard a transatlantic! Worth a try!
Sainsbury’s Cotton Candy Grapes

These have been on the shelves for some time now, across many a supermarket. Although, not exclusive to Sainsbury’s, theirs are often considered the best of the bunch! For just about forever we have begged for fruit that lacks the calories but satisfies the sweet-tooth and here we have it! One to try for the serial dieter, these beauties taste just like carnival cotton candy. We are not sure how they do it, but we’re glad they figured it out.
Asda Blueberry Muffin Milk

Blueberry Muffin Milk. You heard that right! This delicately flavoured, creamy drink is one for your basket the next time you hit ASDA. It lacks the guilt of the real deal but satisfies the stomach, served as a thick shake instead. You can really get adventurous with this one! Add to quality vanilla ice cream and blend for a the ultimate indulgence or add to your favourite cereal to shake things up a little!
Tesco Finest Brie and Cranberry Crisps

These crisps aren’t just for Christmas, but for all year round! And aren’t we glad about that? This flavour combination is tried and tested. Most favouring a seasonal sandwich to mix the sweet, yet savoury tastes. Not anymore, as Tesco have manufactured the perfect crisp that allows us those familiar tastes with minimal effort. No standing over the pan mastering the perfect grilled cheese. Open the bag, pour in a bowl and you’re done!
M&S Gingerbread Rum

We’d love to shake the hand of the person who invented this one! Gingerbread Rum is going to be the taste of summer. We can feel it! Imagine combining this with a bubbly ginger ale, straight over ice for a sweet and spicy bev! As much as we adore a decent tipple, standard options on the supermarket shelves can get a shred boring, so switching up your ordinary dark rum with this is a wise way to try something a little different, a little daring! Marks and Sparks are now offering this in a bundle with Coconut and Lime and Spiced Rum!
