Wow, these sausages are bready. I dread to think how much meat is in them. The mash is sticky and flavourless. There is hardly any gravy, so this part was hard to review, but it has a nice onion flavour. Finally, the portion size is tiny- this is no more than a snack for adults,… [Read More]

The whole dish is very dry. Thoughtless use of cabbage, which is tough and chewy and does not compliment the meal well. There is a fair quantity of chicken, and the rich, nutty sauce is tasty, even if it mostly evaporates during the cooking process. Expensive for what you get.
Very oily. Looks very unappetising- one big splodgy mess. Made some very scary noises in the microwave. Admittedly, the little cubes of unidentifiable meat are quite pleasant. But the rest of it has a peculiar taste- as if the plastic packaging has burned and the fumes have been infused into the pasta. Not a tasty… [Read More]
Absolutely nothing special here whatsoever- although bear in mind that this IS only a pound. The sauce is thick and quite potent, with almost a stilton aftertaste. The little bits of orange cheese that are few and far between when you first put the meal in the microwave soon disintegrate into the sauce, never to… [Read More]

These sausages are pretty awful. They aren’t bready like many tinned sausages, they’re solid and soft at the same time. It literally feels like I’m chewing on plastic, and they have the standard “hotdog” flavour of tinned American sausages, only worse. The beans are perfectly fine, if a little on the solid side, and the… [Read More]
Looks like tape worm in a mug. Not very appetising. Even after the 5 minute guideline, the noodles are still crunchy. Nice Chinese flavours but a bit weak- though perhaps I added too much water. I had either a massive mug or a tiny mug, and I decided I’d rather be able to fit it… [Read More]
Chewy chips, beans that dry out in the microwave, and a “steak cutlet” that is more like a greasy, low quality burger- I can’t say I’m impressed with this meal. Everything tastes ok, despite the rather odd coupling of onion gravy and baked beans, but the food looks dire.
They aren’t kidding with the word “snack”- see the picture to realise the disproportionality between the portion size and the pot it is served in. Do pierce the film lid; I decided to be lazy and peel it back, whereby the sauce exploded all over my microwave. It doesn’t taste bad, but the noodles are… [Read More]
Not a good curry. Very much like a chip shop curry. Barely any chicken. Doesn’t taste BAD. Nice and cheap, filling.
These are large pieces of pasta, which has a “resize” effect- it makes the meal look quite small in the pan, because you can count the number of pasta tubes! The pasta is overcooked, a horrible squelchy soft. I’ve had worse (think school canteen meals) but it could do with more bite, texture-wise. It could… [Read More]
