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]
British reviews
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.
Reasonably tasty. Actual pieces of chicken, some of them almost an inch long! Nice, easy microwave instructions. Nice idea. More chicken then expected, and more than it first appears. Not bad!
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]
Not appetising looking. Distinct dog-food smell. Thick, soft pastry- no crust, and not much filling. Not an unpleasant taste. Relatively painless microwave instructions, though a little messy and ambigious. Difficult to know where this fits in- it isn’t really suitable as a snack, but even with chips this wouldn’t go far as a main meal.
This is a mixed bag of delights- let me dissect them one by one. The egg has a peculiar pancake flavour. Apart from the fact that it looks so unnatural and uninviting, it actually tastes better than some of the rubbish they claim is scrambled egg in hotel buffets. These are clearly appalling sausages- bready… [Read More]
I don’t see what’s “premium” about this meal- is it the two sad looking sprouts, the one tiny lump of stuffing or the clearly artificially processed turkey in perfect circles? The gravy tastes meaty and rich, and the carrots are small, cute and juicy. The turkey tastes okay too, even if the texture is a… [Read More]
The cheese and the broccoli come through very strongly. Finally, a soup that doesn’t taste like every other cup-a-soup! Not overly blended- nice little bits of potato and onion here and there. Tasty, nutricious. Beware this is stilton cheese, and tastes like it. Don’t expect cheddar! Lovely, powerful, mature cheese, which isn’t too strong for… [Read More]
Meaty sauce. Pleasant but nothing special. Packed with meat and potatoes- good, hearty food. The dumplings are a bit disappointing- total lack of flavour, slightly too sticky. Still, they’re adequate, and there are two of them. Nicely cooked beef.
This looked very uninviting when I opened the tin- I was greeted by a light brown sludge that I was willing to bet my life savings on the fact that it couldn’t possibly turn into a nice pastry. Luckily, my life savings don’t amount to much. The act of cooking the pie works some amazing… [Read More]
