Dancing Cat

I should be packing my bags now, because I'm going home tomorrow. Instead, I'm playing with a dancing cat...

I've been eyeing this cat since my arrival in York in September 2010. I looked at it every time I walked past the shop window of The Cat Gallery. I've pointed it out to every person who I walked into town with. I nearly screamed of joy when I saw it was still in the shop when I returned to York after six months. And now, now I got my own dancing cat! An early Christmas gift from (warning, many superlatives follow) my super wonderful amazing boyfriend. Which music would you like to see it dance to?

British Grub: Turkey and stuffing with onion gravy crisps

What: Handcooked crisps - roast Norfolk turkey and stuffing with onion gravy
Where: Tesco

When: Festive season only

Price: £1.39

My first reaction when I saw the bag: do they really taste like turkey?! Yes, these crisps taste like roast turkey (from Norfolk!) and stuffing with onion gravy. The taste is quite overpowering, so a handful of crisps was enough for me. If you really want to the taste the flavours, lick the crisps. You will look like a fool, but you’ll taste everything better! (Don't ask how I ended up licking them).

Tesco’s Finest line includes more flavours: Wensleydale and cranberry cheese, spiced gammon and mince pie (aye, these crisps are sweet!). To my surprise, they were all created by Hans van Wolde, a Dutch gourmet chef! These crisps might not be so British after all…

3 stars. They're very nice, but only during the holiday season.
