OUR FINEST FIVE: TESCO FINEST CELEBRATES ITS 20TH ANNIVERSARY

Twenty years ago Tesco introduced its posh nosh range and is celebrating the anniversary this year by reminding us of just how deliciously opulent these goodies can be. To celebrate, we’re sharing with you our finest five – see what we did there?

 

The Finest snack…Tesco Finest Quadruple Chocolate Cookies (£1.59)

Buttery, chocolatey goodness in one beautiful cookie. There’s a mix of Belgian dark chocolate, Belgian milk chocolate and Belgian white chocolate chunks AND is if that isn’t enough, it’s half dunked into Belgian chocolate.

 

The Finest main… Tesco Finest Thai Green Chicken Curry and Coconut Jasmine Rice (£3.00)

We’re not usually fans of tray meals but let’s be honest, when you’re living the London life, cooking from scratch isn’t always the easiest so we’re keen to find a tasty alternative. This taste of Thailand is rich and full of flavour, topped with a coconut, lemongrass and green chilli sauce. With a side of prawn crackers (essential), you’ll feel like you’ve had a Deliveroo right to your door.

 

The Finest dessert… Tesco Finest Raspberry and Passion Fruit Cheesecake (£4.00)

Cheesecake – one of the real wonders of the world. This slow baked passionfruit cheesecake with raspberry sauce and raspberries with a seeded passionfruit glaze has a really delicate balance between the sharp bursts of passionfruit and the rich cream cheese centre.

The Finest drink… Tesco Finest Vintage Champagne (£25.00)

The party season is quickly approaching (hurrah!) and what better way to celebrate than with a brilliant bottle of bubbles. This one is ripe citrus flavours and a delicate mousse and is perfectly light and refreshing.

 

Tesco Finest Comte Cheese (£3.00)

Few things excite us more in life than a good cheeseboard. Whilst we’ll never turn our nose up at a good cheddar, we enjoy expanding our dairy horizons and this Comte is no joke. Made and matured in the Jura region of France, the nutty, butteryness is something to behold.

 

Being Human 3 officially an awesome foursome {TV}

As you can tell, we here at Frost can’t wait to watch the new series of Being Human. We’ve scoured the net to find behind the scenes clips and brought you the views of the actors and creators.

Like all re-commissioned supernatural series, it’s expanded from the original premise and everyone seemingly has a supernatural element to them. It’s no longer ‘a werewolf, a vampire and a ghost share a house in Bristol’ as Nina, the new werewolf, will be going with the original three to the new residence in Wales.

Werewolf couple George (Russell Tovey) and Nina (Sinead Keenan), and reformed vampire Mitchell (Aidan Turner) have fled their beloved shared house in Bristol and are looking for a new house to rent in Barry, Wales. They are also without ghost Annie (Lenora Crichlow), who is stuck in purgatory and desperately trying to escape.

The BBC have released a George & Nina trailer and some new artwork of the four in the world’s tidiest supermarket to keep us all excited…and it’s working. Click on the image below for a larger version. Wait… chicken, steak and tea in the same aisle?

Series three boasts an impressive array of guest-stars, including Lacey Turner in her first role after EastEnders as Lia, who Mitchell meets in purgatory; Robson Green (Wire In The Blood) as primitive werewolf McNair; Michael Socha (This Is England ’86) as McNair’s son Tom; Paul Kaye (It’s All Gone Pete Tong) as twisted vampire Vincent; Craig Roberts (Young Dracula) as teenage vampire Adam; Nicola Walker (Spooks) as social worker Wendy; James Fleet (Vicar Of Dibley) as George’s father George Snr; and Jason Watkins making an eventful return as vampire leader Herrick.

An online extension to Being Human will also launch online mid-way through the third series. Created by Toby Whithouse, and written by Brian Dooley, Jamie Mathieson and John Jackson, Becoming Human is set in a fictional college and will follow a new group of characters over nine episodes.

Being Human returns to BBC Three on Sunday 23rd January 2011
