Flavourly.com march box

Today I got my march flavourly box (despite the fact it hasn't been announced as dispatched yet) as a price reference these boxes are £22 a month but if you had a KGB voucher they work out £10 a month & postage. Tbh im not sure if i can justify the £22 a month price tag, as £22 is a lot of money for essentually a gamble that your like the products. (and i can't actually work out the full cost of the boxes either)  Also what i don't like about flavourly is you cannot specify veggie/vegan/allergies/likes/dislikes. which i think deters from the experience. (maybe a questionare would be good when you sign up so you can state such things?)

As usual the flavourly box has 3 gift cards with it for £10 off a first box. these are great for giving out to friends ect. IF you want £10 off your first box the code all the gift cards have one is GIFT10 . I almost feel like they expect people to not pay full price, the amount of cards they hand out, but there a fairly new company i think this is their 4th box?

Tbh there's nothing here that really strikes my fancy as I hate nuts & chutney type things (my dad will be happy with these bits though) but the chorizo, lime dressing and popcorn will be consumed by moi :)I suppose it's because I was so impressed with last month box and actually ended up purchacing 3 items from the box again. that this box really fails to live up to last months.

so on with the products; i noticed that this month i didnt get a little card detailing my products, but its ok, i have google :)

So first; 

  • Original chorizo from the bath pigs. site price £3.70'Based on a time-honoured recipe, this Chorizo contains the finest smoked paprika, pepper and a little ginger. This is the foundation for all of our Chorizo. Cool, smooth texture with a slightly nutty after taste. (130g)''   ive just had a nibble on this becaause. i am a savage, and i eat meat on its own. and it is very yummy. Not the sort of thing i'd buy as i don't really eat these kinda things unless im out/ theyve been bought for me, but a nice thing to nibble on.
  • cambrook seseme peanuts & Almond and blueberry slice-Price cannot be found online. 
    these look nice but i'm not a fan of nuts so il give them to a friend to try. 

  • Chilli and Lime, corn again popcorn site price £1
    40g sized; il try these myself, but ive had savory popcorn before but not been impressed so we're see. these seem quite reasonably priced though for a bag. 
  • 'trotters uncle allans chutney 
    this is what i call a ''dad'' product, because im going to give it to my dad as its his kinda thing. In fact his little eyes lit up when i threw this at him, so can't be all bad.  site blurb '' Uncle Allan’s Chutney is a raw fruit chutney made from Apples, Onions, Dates and Sultanas, and instead of cooking the chutney it sits in a vat and socks in Malt vinegar for a few days before going into the jars where it sits for at least a month to mature before selling.''
  • Cochrane cottage lime drizzle;  £4.00
    out of all the products in the box this is the one im most excited by as i love salad type dressings. site blurb; ''Great with cod, sea bass, monkfish & chicken. Add to salmon or drizzle over salads.'' To be honest, i don't think i've ever paid £4 for a bottle of dressing (even in my farm shop locally, £2.90s about the price mark they have) so im expecting good things!
