Iceland Chicken, Prawn and Chorizo Paella

Published on May 19th, 2013

Tasty! The chorizo has a rich flavour, and the prawns are lovely, not bland like many supermarket prawns… decent sized meal but will take up a lot of space in the freezer considering it only serves one. £2.50 is a bit pricey too; knock 50p off and I’d be happier. Be warned- the paella sticks… [Read More]

Iceland Macaroni Cheese

Published on April 25th, 2013

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]

Iceland Ultimate Snacks Sausage and Egg Muffin

Published on April 19th, 2013

The whole thing is all a bit… dry. The muffin is chewy, the egg is flavourless and peculiarly solid, and the sausage has a strong herbal and black pepper flavour, as if it is trying to hide something. Could really do with the addition of ketchup! This is only £1, though, saying that, there isn’t… [Read More]

Iceland Crispy Battered Prawns with a Sweet Chilli Sauce

Published on April 12th, 2013

The chilli sauce is very thick, overly sweet, and generally quite sickening. Those who have read the Iceland Lemon Chicken review will have a deja vu moment here. However, the sauce is actually edible this time! The prawns are tasty and crispy. For £2, if this were a takeaway I’d be pretty impressed. It’s worth… [Read More]

Kershaws Grilled Beef Steaklet and Chips with Onion Gravy and Beans

Published on April 12th, 2013

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.

Iceland Snack Pots Sticky Chilli Chicken Noodles

Published on April 4th, 2013

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]

Iceland Fiery Chicken Melt Panini

Published on April 1st, 2013

Not very thoroughly made- there are bits of chicken all outside the panini. Very bready, not much cheese or chicken. The panini relies on the kick of the chilli to lull you into thinking the meal is more substantial than it is. A fairly light, fluffy bread. The packaging is largely recyclable, but the box… [Read More]

Iceland Chicken Roast Dinner

Published on March 28th, 2013

The roasts are much nicer and crisper than most roast potatoes from the microwave. “Shaped” chicken is never good; this tastes and feels a little artificial, though it’s quite succulent as a result. And the portion size is good. The chipolata was practically inedible- incorrect microwave instructions here, that little thing was SOLID! The gravy… [Read More]

Iceland Classic Italian Chicken, Bacon and Mushroom Pasta Bake

Published on March 27th, 2013

Pasta is overcooked, chicken is dry, sauce is too rich and creamy. Tasty though, and decent portion size. Pretty good value.

Snacksters 2x Southern Fried Chicken Burgers in Buns

Published on March 25th, 2013 Snacksters

As far as burgers go… horrible. The burger is really, really thin, and far too overly peppered. Gains a star for being cheap and convenient.
