Rivercote: Sesame Wholegrain Rye Crispbread

 

Wholegrain rye crispbread with sesame seeds.
They were part of Lidl's HalfPriceWeekend offer 25th/26th April 2015
Normal price 69p offer price 34p
26 pieces = < 2p a crispbread
Just under 35 calories per crispbread

Produced in Germany

Ingredients:
Wholegrain rye flour (84%)
Sesame seeds (10%)
Salt
Is the missing 6% meant to include salt and water (which is not listed)
Very strange!

Suitable for vegetarians but may contain traces of milk
The other flavour (Wholegrain) contained skimmed milk so I chose sesame flavour.

They look like corrugated cardboard!
Tastes like Weetabix. Crunchy with a sesame and salt flavour.
Not bad.

You're meant to put stuff on them so here is what I did:

Smoked salmon with soft cheese and herb (NOT from Lidl)

Crownfield Mini Wheats


Mini shredded wholegrain wheat biscuits.
£1.29 for 500g (approx. 12 servings x 40g)
Just over 10p per serving

My Mum bought these to nibble on now and again.  When it had been in our kitchen for months unopened, I decided to open them.  One of my favourite cereals is Kellogg's Raisin Wheats and I was worried these would be too plain.

These are lovely and crunchy and have a mild savoury and sweet flavour.  It is 100% wholegrain wheat with no added ingredients therefore it is not fortified with vitamins and minerals like Kellogg's which adds value to their product.  I was pleasantly surprised with how good these little morsels tasted. I add some sultanas to give it the Raisin Wheat flavour.

Good buy!

33p an ice cream. 
The best bit is the crunchy chocolate and almond coating.  I can't remember what a Magnum tastes/feels like but there is no need to eat them as these are really good!  Definitely more decadent than your bog standard choc ice.

I could not find out where these were made in English. It looks like they're made in Belgium from the other languages from the box.

A good buy!
