Advantages: 3 different textures, cheap compared to other ice creams
Disadvantages: Quite fattening

...With all the warm weather we have been having lately, I thought I would review one of my favourite ice creams - The Feast. Price I tend to buy my feast lollies from either my local garage where they are 70p or from the ice cream man where he sells them for a rip off price of 90p. Packaging The Feast comes wrapped in a paper outer covering which is blue and has a picture of the Feast printed on it. The paper is very easy to tear off and I find that it is wise not to leave the lolly in the packaging for too long as it melts and sticks to the packaging as you undo it! About The Feast Ice Cream Feast is made by Wall's. There are various flavours including plain (chocolate) mint and toffee. The original feast (the one I am reviewing) consists of a solid chocolate centre, which is covered in chocolate ice cream. The outside of the lolly... Read review

Advantages: Lots of big pictures
Disadvantages: Expensive - try and buy on special offer

...I am a big fan of Nigella. I have two of her recipe books: Feast and How to Eat. I also used to own How To Be A Domestic Goddess - until it was stolen by my ex-landlords girlfriend... which just proves how good it was! HOW TO EAT? Between Feast and How to Eat, I prefer Feast. How to Eat is great for designing whole dinners... especially good for roasts. But it doesn't have many pictures and the way it is laid out is really confusing. Generally when I want a recipe I have an idea of something in mind and I look in the index to find it... in how to eat it can sometimes just lead to a sub-heading. the recipes guidelines are written in long paragraphs, with a lot of waffle! Why FEAST? If you are a lover of cakes and chocolate then this book will be your new bible! There is a whole section called "The Chocolate Hall of Fame... Read review

Advantages: Nice Advert
Disadvantages: Product Not As Nice

...I have had times of famine and times of feast. Andrex was always a feast purchase, the creme-de-la-creme of toilet tissue. It has that ability to both absorb yet stay in one piece. It is soft. It does the job required. Now we have 'New' Andrex. I wondered what was 'new' about it. Apparently it was 'softer', hence the 'touch me, feel me' advertisements to promote that cuddly softness. Except..... Well, although this is more a time of famine than feast at the moment, a special offer deal on two packs encouraged me to try the all new, all singing, all dancing version of Andrex. It does the job, it absorbs as before, I just cannot understand where the snuggly softness has gone. I had wondered how they could improve on nigh perfection and discovered that they can't. Although not exactly rough, new Andrex has a slightly less smooth surface... Read review

...Many moons ago, I would always opt for a Feast when offered a trip to the ice cream van. There was something about the central piece of chocolate hiding underneath all that ice cream that made me choose Feasts over anything else. Where did they go? Feasts disappeared for ages! Well they did in my part of the country anyway. On ice cream vans were the substitute festivals that really didn't taste anything like a Feast, and really didn't leave me wanting more. Hooray for Walls as they have recently in the last couple of years appeared again like my long lost friend, only this time the chocolate version has returned and left his minty friend lost in some ice cream factory somewhere as I still haven't managed to find him again. A feast to me has that something a little different about it. It's formed by wrapping a solid lump of chocolate... Read review
