Advantages: Gorgeous!

Disadvantages: Not good if you don't like vegetables!

I decided to write about this cos no one else has and because I love it! At the moment I'm literally eating it any way I can lol

What It Is....

Sainsbury's Creamy Coleslaw , 330g.

Packaging....

Clear see though plastic tub with lift on/off lid and the first time you open it you have to remove the plastic safety seal. Labelling clearly tells me what it is and who it is by and tells me that it is shredded cabbage, carrot and onion in a mayonnaise dressing with double cream. On the back of the tub there is a list of nutritional values, ingredients and allergy advice.

Ingredients....

Cabbage (49%), Mayonnaise (33%) (Rapeseed Oil, Water, Spirit Vinegar, Sugar, Pasteurised Egg Yolk, Stabilisers: Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum, Salt, Mustard Flour), Carrot (14%), Double Cream (2%) (from Cows' Milk), Onion (2%), Stabilisers: Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum, Rapeseed Oil.

Gluten Free.
Suitable for vegetarians

Allergy advice....
Contains Milk, Egg and Mustard

The Coleslaw....

Very rich in sauce. Not dry at all but not swimming in a thin liquid either. It's very moist and the sauce is thick and very flavoursome. The vegetables are incredibly crunchy and cut up fairly small but are distinguishable. Everything in it is identifible to what it is so no soggy bits. It looks appertising!

It all looks very rich and creamy and taste wise it really is a good quality one this. You can really taste the cream which just is lovely in contrst to the crunch. You can really taste the mustard flavouring particulary when you swallow alot of it so not great if you dont like mustard as its quite prominent the more you consume.

It's not ladened with salt and it isn't loaded with sweetners it feels like an honest coleslaw and quite similar (if not better) to one you'd make yourself and much cheaper too!

Do beware though it really is nice and highly addictive if you like this sort of thing!
