AS I REMEMBER LESS THAN YOU TWO DO, I CAN'T REMEMBER IF YOU EVER HAD, THE DARK CHOCOLATE WAFERS AND CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOWS TEACAKES FROM TUNNOCKS BECAUSE THERE ARE BETTER ( IN MY OPINION) THAN THE REGULAR CHOCOLATE ONES.
Hi Michael, thanks for watching! We've tried both Tunnocks teacakes, Tina prefers the mik chocolate while Ross prefers the dark chocolate ones but we would never turn away either :) Love the Tunnocks products we've tried (Unless there's coconut for Tina) :)
Coconut heaven here for Ross lol (poor Tina!) I have only tried the snowballs but the rest sound lovely too, i do like coconut flavoured things but i can't eat too much of it.
I think Tina would not like a cake we have over here called London coconut cheesecake ( i have no idea why it is called that as there is no cheese in it lol) it has layers of flaky pastry (sometimes with a raspberry jam filling) covered in icing and coconut pieces, Ross may like it though. Hope you both have a good week!
Hi Keza So the coconut cheesecake isn't like a traditional cheesecake with cream cheese? I don't care for cheesecake so if it was traditional, it would be a double no for me! So many good desserts are ruined by coconut! 😁
@@FinnLovesFood No there is no cream cheese in a London cheesecake, i read it may have got the name 'cheesecake' back in the day because the shredded coconut on top looked a bit like grated cheese lol 😆 I'm not a huge fan of real cheesecakes either i think it's the texture for me, although i do like the triple chocolate one every now then.
@@keza92 imagine mistaking coconut for cheese! 😀 Cheesecake is just a bit too rich for me.
@@FinnLovesFood I don't think they mistook it for cheese but it looked similar to grated cheese when the coconut was sprinkled on top. That was one theory of how it got its name lol.
just remember this moment ross being so smug lol all good fun to watch
Soon it will be liquorice revenge. 🙂
Hope you are both well. I have never even tried regular Knoppers
Thanks Graham, we are. Hope you are too. Have you had Hanuta? They have some similarities. Nice if you like wafers and hazelnut.
@@FinnLovesFoodI'm good thanks. I have never heard of Hanuta.
Aldi do them also home bargains
Y does the poor old MACAROON always get left out of the conversation completely coconut with a bit of jam on top 🤔 😊 enjoy 😉 UK 🇬🇧 PATRIOT
Hi David, Happy Tuesday! Oh, a macaroon topped with jam, now we're talking :) Ross here, Thank you for the tip, sounds good!
In my eye's it would be bounty ,snowballs. BUT I'm NOT a fan of white chocolate SO that's a NO. I've never seen coconut hobnobs or bounty cookies ,some of those I've never seen before,.Take care and all the best next time. .😊😊👍👍🐶
Thanks Shane. The cookies/biscuits are a nice change if you like coconut and chocolate.
Hi , i reckon i'm a mix of Ross and Tina because i love liquorice and coconut and they're at their most lovely together in liquorice allsorts , especially the circular one that has liquorice in the middle encircled by coconut , all the best
Hi John, when we had Allsorts, we were often sorting them by more coconut and more liquorice! 🙂 I took the all liquorice ones.
@@FinnLovesFood I'm sure Ross would've been happy with the coconut ones
Loved this video, Oh Tina I appreciated you suffering for your art, lol.
I hate chewing bits of coconut for hours after eating Bounty, but I dont mind the taste. I have not seen Ross quite so smug before - so funny. I cant wait for the liquorice one to come. Hoping you are both well.
Hi Jeff, thank you for the kind compliment! That does seem to be a common reaction - some enjoy the flavour of coconut but are not wild about the texture. Ross didn't realize he was coming across as smug, and he'll get his...oh, he'll get his...the black liquorice revenge is coming, there will be a reckoning! Hoping you are well too, and Happy Tuesday!
yes , you can come across a piece of coconut up to 3 days after eating one however often you brush
😁@@FinnLovesFood
😄@@johnhankinson1929
Tina you need to dunk your cookie not just dip in an pull out but you did well on the coconut lol I love it
Hi Elizabeth! Ross here, Tina thought she was doing pretty good (she's not a fan of biscuits/cookies falling apart in her drink). I'll see if she can leave it in longer ;) Happy Tuesday!
Hi Tina and Ross hope you’re both well I’m with you Tina coconut is not nice to put it mildly although strangely I like fresh coconut so maybe I’m the strange one not Ross sorry Ross only joking enjoy the rest of your week take care
Thank you for your like
Hi Vanessa. Thank you, hope you're doing well too. Interesting that you like fresh coconut - the texture must not bother you? I really like coconut frozen yogurt and I won't pass up a pina colada! 🙂
someone aint gonna be happy here lol
Lol! Glad this one is behind us. Plenty of coconut treats left over for Ross!
I haven’t eaten a bounty chocolate bar since the 1960’s. If I remember correctly, as part of the packaging they came on a handy long cardboard tray that came in very useful for writing shopping lists on.
We've had the Bounty chocolate bar, but can't recall if it had the tray, but know what you're talking about as we've seen it with other bars.
You did really well, Tina, in the face of the coconut adversity and Ross' obvious enjoyment of your peril!! 😅. It's just a matter of time before your liquorice retribution.
Ross, could you find a bigger knife?! 😊 Entertaining video guys!
Hi Agranda, can't wait for the liquorice video. We're both open to trying, but I don't think I'll ever love coconut!
I have no idea what those coconut logs were with white chocolate. I have never seen them in my life
Hi Catherine, Thank you for watching. I understand you haven't tried/seen them before, but do you like white chocolate? If not, which is your preference?
The thumbnail picture made me laugh 🤣I have not tried a lot of these, coconut is OK not something i have often. I agree with white chocolate it is just too sweet for me.
You can definitely tell the coconut hater here. :)
The logs were white chocolate flavour and that suggests to me that a cocoa bean has been nowhere near them.
Hi Ron, Happy Tuesday! I think you're right but I did check - some white chocolate comes from the same cocoa beans as regular chocolate but bypasses several of the production steps. White chocolate does not have cocoa or chocolate liquor. White chocolate, although similar in texture to that of milk and dark chocolate, does not contain any cocoa solids
@@FinnLovesFoodThank you, but I was referring to the word flavour. In my experience, and I am sure it is in law, if a chocolate bar states flavour then it is a cheap substitute and not chocolate at all. In the same way that an orange flavoured bar does not contain orange oils. White chocolate has a high percentage of cocoa butter and because it is a substantial part of the bean it is considered to be chocolate. You were very brave to try coconut products.
@@RonSeymour1 ah yes, we've seen that with "milk chocolate" too and they never taste quite right.
Interesting day u having the coconut logs usually leave quite a lot coconut goodness Ross in bottom u can scoop it out in spoon full yum yum 😋.
Surprised Tina u not liked Hobnobs coconut Macroon biscuits, yes there is in your inventory a packet of Mcvites coconut Hobnobs still try future video. Good job u were not blindfolded 😅 probably be funny pair of u oh this one coconut Ross lights up behind blindfold, Tina swaps it for liquorice 🤣 in it goes. Vice versa u both could have lot fun that way not knowing what u going eat on next.
HI Richard, thanks again for the treats. So there are coconut macaroon Hob Nobs and just regular coconut Hob Nobs? I thought I had all the coconut items together, but one must have gotten separated. I can see Ross holding up the wrapper of the coconut logs and funneling it right into his mouth! 😃
Oh I could see blindfold swapping turning ugly! We would have serious trust issues!
I WONT COME OVER FROM UK THEN, I CAN'T STAND COCONUT OR LICORICE. OOPS
Hi Michael, there are other fine Brit sweets, can't let coconut/licorice discourage you :) Happy Tuesday!
Lots of squelching and chewing noises.
Hi Phil, Happy Tuesday! Apologies, sometimes the microphones picks-up background noise as well as other unwanted audio. Maybe some peoplel find the squelching and chewing sound relaxing? Or maybe not. Thanks for watching
@@FinnLovesFood i liked the noises, especially squelching!! Xx
