The best Charlie Bighams meal

[Kitsmummy]

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.

Side* phone, have you gone American?

Chicken tikka masala. Got us through lockdown as a special treat.

I treat myself sometimes if DH is on overseas work trip and teens are out. Thai red curry and tikka masala are divine. So unctuous and comforting.

The chicken and mushroom risotto is pretty dreamy.
I don’t rate the lasagne.

The Spanish chicken is excellent. As was the paneer curry….

Only ones I have tried are the Fish Pie and Chocolate Fondant. Fish Pie is great on a lazy day and the chocolate fondant is bloody lush

I really miss the paneer curry! Love the "serves 2" bullshit on the packet.

The Spanish chicken with potatoes. No contest. 🤌🏻

You have to cook the potatoes longer than the packaging states though.

I saw the paneer curry in a Waitrose store yesterday.

The chicken jalfrezi

I'd be fucked backwards over a Cherry Bakewell pudding every night if I had the engery.

Truth

The CB chicken in white wine with mash potatoes is one of my favourite meals ever. It's only stocked in one Wairrose near me and they've not had it for months.

Just had a lasagne, twas very tasty with a large salad, but do lkie the chicken Jalfrezi, and the beef Bourguignon, but my god the prices have gone up!

Tried most of them, some better than others.

Never tried the desserts though

Tried a few and now we always get the Thai green curry x2 for DH, me and DS and the korma for DD.

It's the only ready meal curry we've found that is as enjoyable as a takeaway.

It's clearly fish pie for two for one.

Chicken tikka masala - it has a slight aniseed note from the fennel that elevates it above any other ready meal curry.

The Spanish chicken is a close second.

I came on to say that their lasagne and cottage pie are delicious, then saw that someone had already mentioned them.

They are the nicest 'ready meal' ones I've ever tried. Wish they were a bit cheaper.

Agreed! Delicious 😋

Fish pie!!!

Close second is Spanish chicken.

Close to that is moussaka.

The pies used to be ace when they first started and were twice the bloody size! I still use the pots now! Criminal.

Whichever meal has the yellow reduced sticker on it. Even though I can afford it, I can't bring myself to pay £8 for a ready meal, however dreamy they are.

My favourite is probably the fish pie although the chocolate fondant is nice.

Their sticky toffee pudding 😍

Spanish chicken and pots. Key is to cook the pots on a hot baking tray, not in the supplied dish (as they suggest). We used to love the Mac n cheese but think they changed the pancetta and it doesn’t go as crispy now. Curries are all lovely. Fish pie is excellent but needs green veg on the side so not as zero effort as the others. Chicken and mash was excellent. I have yet to try any more & am looking forward to it!

Oh, I have tried the puds too but am not buying because of the mahoosive calorie count 😿

This is one of my weekly go too.
The macaroni cheese is up next although very rich so you can't eat much .
The shepherds pie and cottage pie are lovely as is lasagna.
I haven't tried the Thai curries but after this I will

Jalfrezi & a chili corn carne. Soo good 🤤
