Welcome


"I love food and eat out a lot, but am not so keen on the preparation side. Can't cook, won't cook really. I do program however. The Microwave that is. So I have developed an appreciation for so called "Ready Meals". So much so, that I am using this blog as a means of keeping track of the ones I like.


I am not restricting myself to just meals, I am tracking any packaged food that I want to remember to buy again.

Here's hoping my favorites don't get discontinued!"

Whole Tail Scottish Scampi - Marks & Spencer

Picture




Verdict

Two servings of 5 scampi each. I enjoyed the first couple, but not really sure about this dish, the batter was a bit too peppery for my taste.

Duchess Potatoes - Lidl

Picture



Verdict

Quick and easy, take about 20 minutes from frozen - probably enough for 5 portions in one pack. They also look nice.  Tasty if you add some salt and a bit of pepper.



Buy Again - Yes or No

Yes

Caramella Ice Cream - Tesco

Picture



Verdict

Basically ice cream with some caramel sauce and little bits of fudge. Like most ice creams in this sort of tub (Carte D'or being a prime example) the bulk of the flavouring is just on the top, so it looks more interesting than it is, but despite that I did enjoy it. It's nice creamy vanilla flavoured inexpensive ice cream.


Buy Again - Yes or No

Yes

Mackerel Fillets - Lidl

Verdict

Not a fan, too dry




Buy Again - Yes or No

No

Scottish Lochmuir Salmon Fillets - Marks & Spencer

Picture



Verdict

Tasty, nice marinate - only takes 13 minutes to cook. Froze and then defrosted before cooking with no issues.



Buy Again - Yes or No

Yes
