Morrisons Italian Bolognese Pasta Sauce 350g
I\\\\x27m very impressed
First time I have tried this and it tastes more like my old family recipe than any other fresh sauces from other supermarket brands and in my opinion is head and shoulders above mass produced, widely advertised jars of bolognese sauce. Another positive point for me is that when following the portion-size guidelines on this product (serves two) together with those on Morrisons fresh egg pasta (serves four) the sauce to pasta ratio is much more in line with the proportions served in traditional Italian cuisine. Trying this has certainly given me enthusiasm to try other varieties in this range.

Morrisons The Best Soave Classico 75cl
Number two of my top five whites
This is one of my current favourite whites and I find it's very hard to choose between this and another of Morrisons Signature whites as I find they have only a slightly different flavour. Having said that, I really like having a choice between this and the others I buy because, although the flavours can be very similar... light, citrusy and hints melon... I find this one to be fresh and crisp whereas the others I like are more creamy. I don't like this to be over-chilled as it has too many subtleties to spoil by serving it too cold. . I enjoy this Soave with a meal most of all but we are all very happy to enjoy this at any time. I find this a treat that can all too easily lend itself to needing a refill or two, and friends have told me it makes a very nice long drink with ice and soda or lemonade, especially if you are buying for those who would normally prefer a sweet, bubbly style as opposed to those who enjoy it served the traditional way.

Morrisons Wholemeal Toastie Bread 800g
Consistently excellent
Lovely tasting wholemeal everyday loaf. In these days where everything seems to have sugar in, when the sweet things are getting sweeter and savoury foods that have never had sugar in before are now almost as sweet as a dessert, it has taken me a long time to find a wholemeal loaf suited to cheese and meat rather than jam and honey! Seriously though, a lovely loaf and *not* sweet: just proper, plain and simple bread. Tasty, fresh bread.

Sanmex Fly & Wasp Killer Spray 300ml
I\\\\x27m very impressed by this
I recently had a problem with wasps getting into my hall and bathroom for 2 or 3 days I was finding the odd one or two wasps in each room and so I just let them out of the window, but then it got worse. It got so bad that on day 4 I found between 10 and 20 in the hall alone each time I checked there were more and I was too scared to just let them out as before as the others were attacking me so I needed help. Although I hate killing anything this was an emergency for me so I bought the spray. I followed the instructions using the amount recommended and sprayed each room. I made sure all the doors were closed and I took great care to close them every time I went through them. By the next morning all the wasps (and other insects) were wiped out and I noticed that even the day after I had sprayed it I was still finding the odd insect dead on the floor. I can honestly say it worked well for me. Ps. I found the ingress points they used on day five and blocked them up.

Menestrello Prosecco Spumante 75cl
this rating is wrong \\\\\\\- it\\\\x27s an extra\\\\\\\-dry wine
It appears Morrisons wine dept can't read labels as the back label on this bottle clearly states the wine is extra-dry. This is a mistake that I have alerted Morrisons about on at least three other dry and extra-dry wines mislabelled as 3-Sweet. Prosecco is the grape variety grown in the North-East Italian region of Veneto and almost always produces dry or extra-dry wine. It is a great wine and I'd recommend to fans of dry wine but not fans of sweet. I suggest, if you are looking for a sweet wine, you check the image on the site of the back label before buying to check the information provided by the makers.

Panda Licorice Bar 4 x 32g
At last! A vegan friendly liquorice product!
I absolutely love liquorice and these are a real taste of childhood treat for me. Sweet and sticky (as they ought to be!) but the overwhelming taste sensation is that distinct characteristic of luscious liquorice. Thankfully this is a product free of animal ingredients I wonder how many people would be surprised to see how often 'pork gelatine', or sometimes beef, is listed in the ingredients list of many sweets, and desserts too. I'm not vegan, nor even vegetarian, but I do believe that with so many vegetable based gelatine alternatives available there really is no need to see beef or pork in the ingredients of a sweet anymore.

Fentimans Dandelion & Burdock 750ml
lovely but expensive
A lovely taste of my childhood and my all time favourite soft drink, it's great to be able to enjoy it again at last. It's not exactly the same as I remember it but that's probably due to my taste buds deteriorating with age. Finding this has made me very happy because I'm allergic (to the point it can be life threatening) to almost all non-sugar sweeteners and for years I've been unable to enjoy Dandelion and Burdock because I've been unable to find any free of aspartame or some other sugar substitute. Quite often I find even drinks not sold as low calorie take at least half of their sweetness from non-sugar substitutes and I'm pleased though say that this one is both tasty and free of those nasties I'm allergic to. It's too expensive for me to drink often but it's a really nice treat.

Volvic Touch of Fruit Lemon & Lime Natural Flavoured Water 1.5L
So pleased it\\\\x27s being stocked again
Good to see larger size bottles back yes it contains sugar but I'm allergic to aspartame and I can't drink low-cal and light versions of anything, and it worked out more expensive to have to buy this in small bottles. To get anything to drink as a treat instead of my usual filtered water is becoming a limited choice. I actually water it down to help reduce sugar content and a 2:1 ration of Volvic to water is still tasty enough for me.
