Come in a 3 pack in an orange box near the checkouts. Delish! Seem healthier than a real brownie (made with date paste and other stuff instead of processed sugar), but do the job nicely!

I tried the Chorizo (pink? red?) ones and they were quite nice I thought, but then there's two others ... yellow and blue? ... both described as smokey, but no obvious difference between the two unless it's somewhere in the microscopic small print on the label that I can't read without a magnifying glass these days

The pulses section is still very unsatisfactory. 50 shades of peas but no chick peas or kidney beans. They have also discontinued the Spelt Rolls which we loved. The other part baked rolls are rather insipid.

Alun wrote: » I think the problem with the chickpeas / beans etc. is probably just a problem with the supplier .. often you'll see a whole range of products completely disappear for a week or so, only to reappear later under a new brand name. I'm guessing they just fell out with their current supplier over pricing or something, or vice versa, and it took some time time to find a new one.
