Fentimans Dandelion and Burdock

I am all for tradition, and I am often trying to go back to basics, or to revisit tastes, products and ways of doing things from years gone by. So when a colleague told me that he had a bottle of Fentimans Dandelion & Burdock, that he had bought as part of a "meal deal" at our local deli, but that he didn't like it......I was happy to take it off his hands. After all, I have read several 4 and 5 star reviews on dooyoo about this, and now I could have a bottle for free! Not bad! Fentimans describe this as "harking back to a time when all soft drinks were refreshingly full of flavour".....that fits the bill nicely I ...  Read the complete review

Fentimans Dandelion & Burdock: Whilst on a pre-night out splurge at Tesco the other day, (we don't get out much so really go to town when we do), I got a bottle of Fentimans Dandelion & Burdock because I thought it would be nice to try and a nice change as a mixer with vodka. The bottle is beautiful, really old fashioned looking which somehow makes it seem reassuring; anything in a bottle that nice must be good. The bottle is 275ml in capacity and made of glass, (very easy to recycle), and has a metal screw top lid. I will say that when you undo the lid you are left with a ring of metal around the top of the bottle which is a ...  Read the complete review

I may only be young, but I am a bit of an obsessive about any and every old-fashioned food. For some reason sweets taste better if they're in a paper cone than in a plastic bag...ditto drinks in traditional glass bottles! And they don't come any more traditional than Fentimans Dandelion and Burdock, I can tell you. In fact, I was lucky enough to stumble across Fentimans drinks by chance whilst in Past Times. Although I am not really a fizzy drink fan (the odd one on occasion is enough for me), I was attracted by the really rather wonderful glass bottles, and decided to try Dandelion and Burdock. ==History of Fentimans== Fentimans is a drinks ...  Read the complete review

I have always been a fan of dandelion & burdock, from when I was a kid and tried some of my mum's. My wife doesn't like it, nor does my son, so I don't often buy it. However, we went out today, and I saw a bottle of this. We were at Arlington Court, a National Trust property, and they often offer high quality products such as this. I liken the taste to a sort of spicy cola, in a way, and not just because the visual stimuli make you think you're drinking some form of cola. The dandelion gives a nice floral taste to it as well, but this is a more subtle flavour. Initially, the taste does hit the back of your throat with quite a kick, but whereas D&B ...  Read the complete review

I went to my granddaughters school fete yesterday and spent some time browsing around a stall which had been set up to resemble an old fashioned market stall. One thing that caught my eye (well, two so I also bought a packet of peppermint creams) was Fentimans Dandelion and Burdock. I love Dandelion and Burdock because there is something different about it. I cannot describe the taste but in my head I always liken it to how Coca Cola would taste with the addition of a slight floral flavouring and perhas a touch of spices. It's certainly a very unusual tasting soft drink and has a unique flavour that other drinks to not have. For me though, the ...  Read the complete review
