M&S Percy Pig Dessert Sauce 290g x 2 Pack

Product Information

All I have eaten today is pink sweet stuff and my taste buds are crying out for something savoury, but no. Of course I realise the cupcakes wouldn't be Percy Pig-themed at all was the little pig not sat atop the icing but you can understand that I never want to see or eat him again, at least not for a while. Most importantly, they had zero traces of the actual taste of Percy Pig, it was just a plain biscuit with coloured icing and I lapped it up after a day of pancakes and pizza deliberately created with the same flavour as the original sweets. For lunch, it was a 'here's one I made earlier' meal as I cut myself a couple of slices of the Percy Pig pizza cookie I baked yesterday in preparation for today's challenge. The pizza, made out of a cookie / cake base with buttercream Percy Pig icing, was a lot nicer today and didn't taste anywhere near as sickly as it did fresh out of the oven yesterday.

The cupcake was just as good for this very reason with a plain vanilla sponge and icing that had been coloured pink but thankfully not flavoured. I had heard things about these pancakes and seen them absolutely everywhere as the Percy hype continued with these newely released items ahead of Pancake Day later.

I felt fairly sick within an hour of breakfast, and waited for the feeling to subdue a bit before trying to tackle my next meal. After a full day of eating only Percy Pig-themed foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner, snacking on the sweets between meals, and washing it all down with the phizzy pop I can safely say I would be happy if I never saw a real pig ever again, let alone just Percy. Instead I picked up a pack of two cupcakes and the Percy and Penny biscuits to make up for it, even if it's not the most substantial of meals.

In news that shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, I don't think I'll be doing that for a very long time. I can't take credit for this alone as I saw someone take on this challenge on TikTok recently and I had no idea how they pulled it off. I'm not a huge Percy Pig fan, I would never have bought the extensive range of items beyond the sweets themselves was it not for this challenge and to be honest, I probably won't ever again.I was also pleasantly surprised by the 'phizzy pop' - I'm not a fizzy or sugary drink person and exclusively use them as a mixer but again the flavour was subdued and didn't taste too sweet or sugary at all. I'm very excited for a day of eating only savoury food tomorrow with not a drop of sugar to be seen, not even in my coffee.
