Evening All,

I decided to write about something that wasn’t sweet (for a change) . My husband bought this pot of coleslaw to go on the side of our dinner at the weekend. I love cheese and coleslaw so I couldn’t wait to get stuck in, especially as the weekend for me is deemed ’Cheat Weekend’ . Here’s what I thought.

Co-op Cheese Coleslaw 240g

Cabbage, carrot and onion with coloured cheese, mature Cheddar cheese and soft cheese in a mayonnaise dressing.

I popped the life odd, gave the coleslaw a mix as you’re supposed to do before serving, and dolloped a big helping of cheese coleslaw on my plate. It looked really appetising. It definitely had that creamy look and texture. It had quite a lot of cheese in with the cabbage, onion and carrot, but I wasn’t complaining. I put the forkful in my mouth. Yes there was the crunch from the root vegetables, but this had a really odd taste. I was looking for the taste of cheese, considering there was a lot of cheese mixed in. All I got was the taste of ’banana!!!’ Really? I was not expecting that. I thought it was because I had some mouthful of my dinner already and maybe the flavours weren’t jelling together. So after rinsing my mouth with water and waiting a bit, I went in for a second helping. I still got the taste of banana. Quite a few mouthfuls I had, albeit small… all I could taste was banana. This was not nice at all!

I’m very surprised with the taste of this. How can this taste like banana? I Asked my husband to try it and he said he couldn’t taste banana. but it did have an odd taste. Also, I only just noticed whilst writing about this, is that they describe the cheese as ’coloured cheese’ . It’s either Red Leicester or it’s not, and I have a funny feeling the latter is true. Considering the amount of cheese advertised, this did not taste cheesy at all. I’d avoid this coleslaw at all costs if you are looking for a nice cheesy one. It’s definitely not this!
