Williams Sonoma Vanilla Bean coffee sauce

Do you know, this has been sitting in my "draft" post for three years now?!?!  We bought a bottle of this from Harrods back in 2018...... if memory serves, it cost about £14.  And I remember it as being spectacularly faberooni!!!  A spoonful in coffee is wonderful - I can imagine it would work in hot chocolate and on icecream too!  I shall investigate where to buy this stuff and update later, but in the meantime, if you see this, get some!  You won't regret it!!!!!

Highgrove organic ground coffee

Available in Fortnum and Masons store at Piccadilly, London

I recently tried this medium roast blend coffee priced at £8.50 for a 125g tin, twist off lid - described as "organic blend of seasonally selected coffees from around the world" with a taste of chocolate and dried fruit - AND IT'S GORGEOUS!!!!!  This has to be the best coffee I've tried from either Fortnums or Harrods!

It's available through the Fortnums website HERE and also from the Highgrove Gardens website HERE as well as the Fortnum shop in Piccadilly, London.

It is SO worth getting!!!

Fortnum & Mason's Orange Curd

This is a 310g jar of lemon curd..... thicker than jam but not as bitter/tangy as marmalade.  I've tried the lemon curd and lime curd already and this is on a par with the Fortnum's lemon curd although I think I like the lemon curd SLIGHTLY better

It has a lovely tangy orange taste but not too tangy.  This 310g jar costs £4.95 and is worth the price.  It can be purchased in-store at the main Piccadilly store in London or online through their website here

Lovely on toast, toasted teacakes or crumpets or muffins

Maille Mustard with olives and herbs de Provence

Got this 108g jar of specialist mustard from the Maille boutique shop on Piccadilly in London for just over £6.......

......and it's GLORIOUS!!   First tried it with meatballs I had for dinner and you can taste the olives and herbs used in the mustard.  I can see this stuff going well with bruschetta if you make your own..... smear a little on the toasted bread before putting the tomatoes/onion mix on top.

I've not seen this on the Maille website yet, so I'm thinking it's a seasonal "special" that's sold in store only.  However, if you do come across some of this in another store, I can definitely recommend getting a jar!!!

Sussex Thins Lemon Puddle biscuits

We found these biscuits at a grocers near us, and as I've tried other varieties I thought I'd give this one a go.  And I'm glad I did!!  They're lovely!!!  They come in a 175g box costing £2.95 and are made with the lemon rind as well the the juice.  They go very well with cheese but are equally as good on their own, too.

The full range of biscuits are listed HERE and a variety of the biscuits are available from the Horsham Gingerbread website HERE however they only currently do mail order within the UK

Stockists are also listed on the Horsham Gingerbread website.

Definitely worth trying!

Choc Chip & Cherry biscuits, V&A Museum

These biscuits come in a 200g tub priced at £3.50 and are absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS!  They're my favourite of the V&A biscuits!  Very more-ish indeed and are best dunked in your hot chocolate (or tea/coffee!)  They're available at the V&A ground floor giftshop and also through their website HERE

The tub design is Leicester wallpaper designed by John Henry Dearle (1860 - 1932)

British Museum All Butter Caramel & Sea Salt Biscuits

This 200g tub of biscuits is available in the ground floor circular gift shop area in the Great Hall of the British Museum and costs £5.50 a tub.  These are GLORIOUS!!!  Very buttery and taste fabulous dunked in a hot chocolate - the sea salt/caramel comes through as a lovely aftertaste!  These do not seem to be available online anywhere but if you find yourself visiting the Museum at any point, I strongly recommend buying some of these, either for yourself or as a gift.
