The best Charlie Bighams meal

Red Thai Curry. And I can confidently state that from my vast experience of CB meals (2...the red and the green Thai curry).

It's flipping amazing.

But state your case if you have a contender.

Red Thai Curry is good, but the Paneer Curry is even better.

The steak pie was the most amazing steak pie I had ever eaten but they ruined it by changing the recipe and adding mushrooms.

Chicken and ham gratin.
Steak and ale pies.
Slightly more expensive than other ready meals but well worth it.

@ShirleyJackson
is that the paneer masala ? It is so good but it’s been out of stock for ages, is there a replacement please do you know

Kitsmummy · 05/08/2022 19:43

Paneer curry you say? I LOVE paneer I only actually eat the sauce and edamame beans in the red curry 😳

Has it? That’s tragic. Bugger.

I’m coeliac, so the range is a bit limited for me. Looks like it’s even more limited now Sad

Vegetarian Lasagne - I'm not vegetarian but this is delicious

@Kitsmummy @ShirleyJackson
we are f**d 😂
it’s been out of stock on Ocado for months and never in store… so annoying as it was so good and a hundred times better than anything I could get in a restaurant or takeaway round here
was hoping they had replaced it
i think they should say discontinued rather than out of stock

If I can't be bothered to cook I sometimes treat myself to the macaroni cheese, it's got pancetta in it and it's topped with crispy breadcrumbs. It's nice and thick and not all gloopy.

TurquoisePterodactyl · 05/08/2022 19:57

The meatballs and pasta. Delicious sauce.

TwoMonthsOff · 05/08/2022 19:59

@Kitsmummy
indeed
it was a real treat and not expensive compared to eating out something not as good
i was hoping there was a new version …
I hate it when fave things get binned off
disappointed face 😔

I love the mousakka but I haven't tried many of them. Will have to try the thai curry - is it spicy?

mbosnz · 05/08/2022 20:00

Spanish chicken and potatoes.
Chicken Tikka Masala.
Paella.

Archip17 · 05/08/2022 20:00

@DareDevil223 I'm also here for the macaroni cheese!

WeAreTheHeroes · 05/08/2022 20:02

The fish pie is a firm favourite in our house. They're pricey compared to other ready meals, but much better than standard supermarket fare.

Fernsinthegarden · 05/08/2022 20:03

Thai red curry is definitely my favourite! Has anyone tried the dessert range?

DH loves the chocolate fondant!

Sleepyquest · 05/08/2022 20:12

The chicken korma and the butter chicken 😊

bbqhulahoop · 05/08/2022 20:13

I'm rather partial to the sausage and mash!

Elsanore · 05/08/2022 20:16

Lasagne, cottage pie both excellent.

Goan fish curry I only saw and had once, really good.

Chicken tikka masala really good.

Will try the Thai curries!

LadyDanburysCane · 05/08/2022 20:25

All the mains that I’ve tried are amazing … but … my absolute favourite is the chocolate fondant pudding.

if you haven’t tried it ….. TRY IT! You’re welcome 😉

Pbbananabagel · 05/08/2022 20:25

Naaah it’s the bean chilli with rice, but you totally need cheesy nachos on the sidewalk
