Itsu Rice’Noodles
As quite a lot of students are on lockdown at uni, they are stocking up food for the weeks ahead. Renowned as being unhealthy, instant noodles have reigned as a student staple for years.
However, with the new generation of students more health-conscious, itsu’s rice’noodles are here to restore instant noodles as something to be eaten with pride and joy, just as they are across Asia.
Using the most authentic broth on the market (hand-crafted miso-based paste, low in fat & sugar) they also contain lower levels of calories, and salt than other brands. Another reason for students on a budget to enjoy noodles.
Furthermore, itsu rice’noodles variations include; katsu, satay, chilli miso, or chilli chicken which can be enjoyed on their own or they can be included in more exciting dishes.

After the popularity of its ‘Isolation Bundles’, the Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company is launching two new ‘Cheese Your Own’ bundles for all cheese lovers.
The ‘Cheese Your Own’ Bundle 1 contains three portions of cheese and three boxes of the Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company’s cheese straws. The ‘Cheese Your Own’ Bundle 2 contains six portions of cheddar.
Choose from:
- Mellow Cheddar – six months old; creamy in texture with a gentle yet still distinctive traditional cheddar taste.
- Extra Mature – around 15 months old, this cheddar is much stronger in taste. It’s harder in texture too, as expected from a long-matured traditional cheddar.
- Vintage – the oldest cheddar – robust and mighty strong. Matured for more than two years, with a harder, drier texture not dissimilar to Italian Parmesan style cheese.
- Cave Matured Cheddar – one of a kind at around 12 months old having been matured in the natural caves in Cheddar Gorge. Smooth, creamy yet complex. This in an interesting cheddar and very different from the others in the range which are matured in its own cheese stores.
