Do you ever feel like you make a rod for your own back? I know I do. In an effort to introduce my young son to as many flavours and textures as possible I have tried out as wide a variety of foods with him as possible. Finding things that are safe for him to eat and that he can manage has been a developing problem. My son likes his food but, if left to his own devices he'd opt for non-chew slop or chocolate cake! I therefore wanted to find things that would encourage him to chew but which would be safe if he tried to swallow prematurely or simply left the food marinating in his mouth. At the same time I'm also strongly of the opinion that nothing should ...  Read the complete review

These crisps are made from potato and come in a variety of flavours, such as Cheese & Onion, Ready Salted, Salt and Vinegar, Prawn Cocktail and Tomato. In other countries, flavours include Paprika, Pizza and Sour Cream and & Onion, as well as the flavours we have in the UK. My favourite have got to be the tomato! They are delicious. The crisps are very crunchy and are not of a smooth texture. They are also the shape of a teddy bear, hence the name "Pom Bear". The crisps are manufactured by a company in Northamptonshire called Intersnack Limited. Pom Bear crisps are also widely available in other countries in Europe such as Spain, Germany and Hungary. ...  Read the complete review

im a great big daft kid at heart still, despite my age i still love pom bears For anyone who doesnt know pom bears are teddy bear shaped crisps except there not like walkers crisps they are more like a maize snack than a potato crisp, they will melt on your tongue without chewing if you let them unlike potato crisps.

Ready salted in the red packets are a little bit to salty for something i would be willing to ...  Read the complete review

I think these little known crisps are simply the bees (or the bears!) knees! It is not often you see them in the shops, that is, not everwhere sells them and for a while the only place I ever saw them - strangely - was Superdrug, but I have recently seen them in Morrisons and Tesco so maybe they are becoming more popular. Cost wise they are currently 46p per bag at Morrisons, but you can buy multi packs at Tesco which work out cheaper (though I dare say that the size of each packet will be smaller, as is usually the case with multi pack crisps). The texture of them is similar to that of a Quaver perhaps, though more crispy. They are ...  Read the complete review

Being the mother of four children it's fair to say that some junk food does seep in to the house and I like to try and keep in lots of healthy snacks as well as a few unhealthy treats as rewards when my children have been well behaved. I do not fill their lunchbox with junk everyday preferring to send them off with fruit and healthy foods to help their concentration levels in class. Pom Bear crisps are crisps that I have been purchasing since my eldest daughter was a baby and they have always been something that each of my children have enjoyed. These crisps are always available for a reasonable price and I usually buy 3 x 6 packet multipack for £2.50 from a ...  Read the complete review
