Young’s Salmon Pie

Published on July 26th, 2013

Nice parsley flavours in the creamy sauce, and the fish is tasty but turns slightly chewy in the microwave. It’s worth noting that the fish portions in here are meagre in size! The cheap cheddar cheese (try saying that over and over again really fast!) they’ve topped it with is welcome but seems like a… [Read More]

Iceland Indian Takeaway Lamb Kofta Balti

Published on July 25th, 2013

This is like an Indian take on spicy meatballs. Tasty sauce with just enough chilli, and a fairly generous quantity of meatballs. However, the meatballs taste cheap and don’t compare to ordinary cuts of lamb. This is like a doner kebab thrown into a spicy sauce. For £1.50, this is acceptable.

Heinz Weight Watchers Mushroom & Broccoli Wedge Melt

Published on July 24th, 2013

A surprisingly cheesy sauce, given this is Weight Watchers. Quite nice. Not much of a mushroom flavour, and the potato wedges are a bit dry. Not bad for £1-£1.50, don’t pay anything more.

Iceland Ultimate Snacks 2 Chicken Tikka on Garlic Naan

Published on July 21st, 2013

Not really a naan bread, more of a wrap. Quite a messy eat. Tasty enough, but a bit sickly. Will give you bad garlic breath!

Iceland Chicken Dopiaza

Published on July 14th, 2013

Tasty, more tomato-ful than appears on the front cover. Ate with two mini peshwari nans- good combination. Wasn’t as substantial as I’d hoped. Felt almost like a standard microwave curry without the rice.

Iceland Spaghetti and Meatballs Meal For One

Published on July 2nd, 2013

Immediate failings: this comes in bags that are difficult to poke holes in during the first step of cooking and dangerous to empty once the cooking is finished. I followed the instructions correctly but the spaghetti was still cold (not tepid, COLD) in the middle. Consequently, I had to cook the whole thing for longer,… [Read More]

Goodfella’s Delizia Chargrilled Chicken, Red Peppers and Pesto 2 Light Pizzas

Published on June 26th, 2013

Crisp base, but the top half of the base is soft. Weird combination. Strong flavour of spinach is a bit much. The chicken is chargrilled to a nice flavour, but there isn’t much of it. The quantity of cheese is disappointing too- the only thing that seems to be in quite an abundance is the… [Read More]

Iceland Cheesy Beans and Sausage

Published on June 12th, 2013

Not keen on the sausages, the flavour is overly smokey and not particularly nice. However, these frankfurters are at least REAL, unlike the standard rubbish so-called-sausages you get in tins of bangers ‘n’ beans. I found the potatoes to be a little on the solid side – they need to be cooked for longer. The… [Read More]

ahh! Bisto Roast Chicken Dinner

Published on June 8th, 2013 ahh! Bisto

The stuffing is hard and overcooked, with a strong taste of sage. The chicken breast is a generous portion and is reasonably tender, though the flabby chicken skin does not taste pleasant. As is to be expected, the gravy is quite tasty, though on the salty side. The carrots and peas are nicely cooked and… [Read More]

Morrisons Savers 2 Cheese Omelettes

Published on May 30th, 2013

I just had to try this. A *microwavable* omelette, SURELY, can’t work. Sure, it’s a little rubbery, and smells a bit like a pancake. It’s watery in places. And at £1 for two, these are much more expensive than making one fresh for yourself. On the whole, however, I was pleasantly surprised. Coming from the… [Read More]
