to want to find a ready meal that doesn't taste complete sh*te?

[emkana]

I like the idea of a ready meal every now and then, like tonight for example, when my children have been fed at their grandma's, dh is away, and I came home late after a governors' meeting. And don't the ready meals all look sooooooo tempting on the packaging. But they all taste HORRID. Aren't there any that are actually edible?

[puddinghead]

No, they're all poo. Except maybe the indian 'takeaways' from S'burys, they are ok.

Best ready meal is a boiled egg and soldiers, or tin of soup.

M&S Lasagne is pretty good - obv not microwaved though.

Also morrison's curry's are reasonable - not the ones with rice, but the supposedly fancy ones with the separate side dishes.

Touch nothing from Asda, mind.

[MarthaFarquhar]

arrgh - curries, obv.

I'd rather have beans on toast TBH although would agree that the curies from supermarkets are not bad (Waitrose are great)

[LovelyDear]

i beg to differ. asda curries are good.

but my convenience food of choice is tinned m&s steak in gravy. with rice.

Sainsburys TTD lamb kofta kleftiko is lovely. Cook your own rice or cous cous to have with.

Well, for the second time in a fortnight we have had Asda 'smart price' Lasagne £1.99, and it's pretty good!

After checking the ingredients (inc wine, cream, cheese etc - not too much artificial crap), we gave it a try and was pleasantly surprised.

Worth a try!

Oh yes dippy eggs

[muggglewump]

I like Asda Extra Special fish pie, and Tesco Finest Pizza.

I don't have them often though as they are expensive. Cheaper than proper takeaway though.

[ReneRusso]

Had Waitrose Creamy Fish Pie tonight, very nice but expensive.

[moondog]

I agree with pudding.Nothing would induce me to eat dog food in slurry as they all are.

My quick and easy hot meal is omelette, baked potato, soup/egg and toast or noodles with greens and extra coriander and chilli.
I also do a big bowl of flaked salmon (which I steam) brown rice and soy beans, dressed in sesame oil, soy, wasabi and rice vinegar ND HEAT IT UP.

M&S used to do a lovely crayfish and mango salad, but the ready meals are dreadful, although the eggplant parmesan was OKish.

baked potato with can of smoked tuna

[Stayingscarygirl]

M&Sm Tescos and Asda mushroom risottos are all good. Some of the individual pies or salmon en croutes are good too. Waitrose thai curries are nice.

[JustAnotherManicMummy]

Stuffed fresh pasta. Usually on offer (ie Tesco 2 for £2.75 offer) and jars of sauce. Currently liking Jamie Oliver sauces but only if they are on offer.

I always have a supply of both for lazy suppers. Add salad if you're feeling posh.

[jemart]

these are good organic and have no nasty additives. bit pricey though. I'd rather cook it myself but if you are cash rich and time poor these meals are a good option.
