Food for thought at the Polar Bar

Advantages: Great food at a reasonable price
Disadvantages: The terrace is facing a main road

...(which lets face it comprises every genre of person) The service is usually quick and effective, inside if you order food the bar staff will set up a tab for you and outside they will ask you to order at the bar and pay straight away. (fed up of people doing runners I think) The food is excellent. They offer a mixture of vegetarian, vegan and meat eaters delights. The menu changes every week but they will always offer various pizzas, salads, the same side orders (fries,olives,bread etc) and also a selection of sandwiches. The price of the food is usually quite good considering the quality of the food. Prices ranging from £5-£10 for a meal. They also have a specials board which chnages daily. The list of desserts is alway welcoming with cheescake appearing nearly everyday! The cost of drinks are quite expensive but simply competitive in...

Food for thought

Advantages: Compare foods you like to my preferences
Disadvantages: The 'Marmite' will stir up a debate I'm sure, lol

...What! Only 10 foods? Of all the MILLIONS/ BILLIONS of food products out there we can only pick 10? Well, I suppose you'd get bored by my 100th or so one..or tenth... In no particular order; let's begin 1. Fish -Smoked Haddock, Salmon, Cod, sea bass or tuna. Haddock is delcious in a pitta bread with scrambled egg or haselback potatoes. Salmon fillet is divine if you top it with mayo, crushed seasoned cornflakes with garlic and then drizzled with a cheese sauce. Smoked salmon slices mixed into mash with cheese spread! emm. And tuna, mix it with onion and some chutney to get fish fruity. Make your own fish pie or chop it up into an omelete. Fish is sooo nutritional, versatile and delcious. Not a fan of sardines, herring; trout and the lark, or with heads and eyes still on! Prawns - league of there own. Nice just out the pack...

The Mighty Mars Bar

Advantages: Classic chocolate bar
Disadvantages: They changed the nougat filling

...This is perhaps the most classic chocolate bar from my childhood. It has long been my favourite as a kid and I sort of have to say it still is so as not to feel as if I have disowned it (sorry Mars Bar but I have found other favourites - I still love you though!). 'A Mars a day helps you work rest and play' - this was the little catchphrase that was associated with Mars Bar. Funny really; it's like saying a chocolate bar a day is good for you. The slogan has now changed to 'Pleasure you can't measure' which definitely seems more appropriate. A standard Mars bar comes at 58g, about 11cm long and 1.8cm high. You'll pay about 32p for this bar in supermarkets which is well below the norm of 50p. They used to be more expensive but in recent years, the classic nougat and caramel filling has obviously lost its appeal as new and more...

Daim Bar Education

Advantages: Sweet and crunchy chocolate covered bar
Disadvantages: Cost and calories

...made in Sweden for Kraft foods who have a UK office in Cheltenham. Teachers comment ? Studying your Atlas would help you learn more about this country and other Scandinavian places where this bar is really popular. History 8/10 ******** Originally known as Dime bar until 2005 when its name was changed to keep it the same as the rest of Europe. It originated in Sweden in 1953 ? produced by a company called Maribou, who were part of a Norwegian company. It is now owned by Kraft foods. Teachers comment ?this shows that Sweden has produced other things apart from ABBA and IKEA! Mathematics 7/10 ************** This little bar measures 10cm x 4 cm x 0.75 approximately. Although the wrapper measures 13.5 making it look longer than it is! Weight is 28g. Price is recommended at 35p per bar, but Costcutter, which is also our local...

Cookie bars????

Advantages: got 8 free
Disadvantages: not quite there

...I bought a pack of these as it was 100% extra - 16 bars for the price of 8 and the fact that I thought they would be a treat for my daughter in her lunch box. She sometimes moans that she has too much fruit! I can't remember how much I paid for them, I could guess but I won't bother as I could be way out. I was feeling a little bit peckish one afternoon so I though I would try one, they are all individually wrapped when you open the main packet . 'Cookie bars' what does that mean to you?? Or what do you expect?? To me it means moist crumbly biscuit with lots of chocolate chips in. I opened the wrapper and inside was quite a thick rectangular biscuit I don't know why, but it didn't quite look like I expected it to. Upon tasting it I thought it was a bit dry. Then I realised it's an oaty cookie which was probably why I thought...

Quick and tasty food

Advantages: Quick cooking times , tasty food, saves energy, convenient
Disadvantages: Needs a better instruction book and a recipe book, no lid holder

...BACKGROUND INFORMATION My mum bought the JML Halogen Oven after our main oven decided to give up the ghost. We'd seen infomercials about the Halogen Oven and it was something we were thinking of getting at some point. I liked the idea of having a counter top oven, and something that would cook food quickly but retained flavour. We did look at a similar product, but it was out of our price range. HOW MY MUM BOUGHT THE PRODUCT IMy mum bought her Halogen Oven over the phone, but you can also order it online from the JML website at www.jmldirect.com, and by Mail Order. The Halogen Oven cost £59.99 and the delivery charge was £4.95. My mum ordered the oven on a Tuesday evening, and the oven was delivered on the Friday. WHO IS JML? JML (or John Mills Ltd) has been trading for around 40 years. The company operates...

Disappointed By A Dime Bar!

Advantages: Some People Seem To Like Them
Disadvantages: High In Calories, Poor Value For Money

...It's been a long time since I last had a Dime Bar but today I found myself buying one on my way home from work when I picked up the evening paper. Since I haven't actually eaten it yet I have decided to be kind to you all and share the experience of its demise with you. THE BACKGROUND Dime Bars are made by Kraft Foods Ltd and are particularly popular in Scandinavia where they are known as Daim Bars. They are also popular elsewhere in Europe with the major markets being in Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden and the UK and Ireland. THE PRODUCT Dime Bars are described as a Milk Chocolate Bar with a crunchy Almond and Caramel centre. Some of you will probably remember the bizarre TV adverts with Harry Enfield from a few years ago where they were compared with Armadillo's and described as being " Smooth...

Vacuum sealing food the easy way

Advantages: Easy to operate
Disadvantages: It is a bit fiddly

...I love my gadgets and I am a complete sucker for the TV shopping channels so when I saw that JML had got their own channel I couldn't resist watching it one wet afternoon recently. They were doing a demonstration of the JML Vacuum Food Sealer and I was intrigued as I sat and watched. Basically it is a very simple machine which will either vacuum seal food into polythene bags or just seal (without vacuum). It looked pretty simple and effective and they were demonstrating a range of uses for it. Given that I cook a lot of meals for one and often 'batch cook' and weekends and make my own home made ready meals for one which I freeze down this looked like quite a useful machine. One of the problems with shopping for one is that many times I buy fresh meat, bacon or cooked meats and end up having to have the same food over and over to...

An Excellent Cat Food

Advantages: See Review
Disadvantages: Price

...Orijen cat and Kitten Dry Food: The last time I was browsing round the Zooplus website I noticed some ?Orijen? dry cat food which said it was suitable for adult cats and kittens of all breeds and that is was supposed to be exceptionally good for your cats health. I read a few of the reviews and decided to give Orijen a go. When the food arrived I was amazed by the ingredients, Tifa has never had it so good and is currently eating better than me! As the ingredients are so amazing I am going to include them in my review below. The food consists of 75% premium animal ingredients, (de-boned chicken, chicken meal, turkey meal, northern whitefish, chicken fat, de-boned turkey, salmon meal, salmon and anchovy oils, de-boned salmon, chicken broth and free-range eggs). The chicken and turkey are grain fed and the fish is wild...

I need food!

Advantages: Healthy eating, healthy happy child.
Disadvantages: Messy?

...Weaning is a very exciting milestone for parents and babies, but some parents find this time to be a little daunting too. Weaning is a gradual process that requires time and patience. The weaning experience is different with every child. It is always a good time to start when you and your baby are in good health, and are feeling relaxed. It is also best to delay the weaning process if your baby is adapting to anything else such as teething. Health experts recommend that you wait until your baby has reached 6 months of age, to prevent your baby from getting allergies, and because a baby's digestive system is not ready until this age. However some parents wean their babies before this age. I think as a parent you know when your baby is ready for food; some babies need extra nourishment when milk alone does not satisfy them so...
