What other brilliant frozen food have I missed?

[nahthatsnotforme]

So the recent thread resoundingly in favour of frozen mash made me buy some… and yes Mumsnet is quite correct.. totally converted. Which got be wondering what else have I missed?
My frozen foods are just the usual chips, peas and fishfingers. What other game changers are out there?

No Elephant chapattis, but our local Morrisons does have frozen soffritto/vegetable base mix. All is not lost!

@JamesWebbSpaceTelescope agree, also it is American!

@ilovecardigans
If this helps they sell paratha in Asda it’s in a seperate freezer with all the Asian goodies it’s the brand ‘shana’

This is a revelation! Is there any particular name to look out for?

And we don’t have Trader Joe’s in the UK as far as I’m aware.

@LillyPJ 🤣 yes that’s so true Asda call it vegetable mix and to the PP it is a very small dice

It’s actually really easy to buy a couple of carrots, onions, and celery and then dice and bag it up and freeze it. Probably a lot cheaper as when I’ve bought it in Waitrose for a lasagna base, it was about £2 for one meal.

Yes. I've never actually bought any pre-chopped stuff, frozen or otherwise. I find chopping by hand very therapeutic!

Well thank you everyone, I’ve made a list and am actually looking forward to my weekly shop and a good look at the freezer isle.. one I usually don’t pay much attention to.

Such a great post, OP. Thank you … such good ideas from everyone.

I really like M&S frozen chicken nuggets, much nicer than any others I tried.

Also Birds Eye mini hash browns (tater tots) - so good!

agree with others Crosta & Mollica pizzas, Picard pastries, any frozen berries, edamame and blocks of frozen ginger.

I tried some frozen cauliflower cheese from M&S - disgusting.

Excited to try Parathas and will try some frozen mash!

Well, obviously, but this thread wasn't started to break the news to anyone that frozen peas exist, was it?!

Everyone knows frozen fruits and veg exist!

I love Farm Foods own! Tried Aunt Bessies and it's not a patch on FF!

Frozen mixed veg, cheaper than fresh just as nutritious, no prep and you can use as little or as much as you want- I get the Sainsbury's own 99p for a kilo.

I haven't got any at the moment and didn't make a note. But if you Google there seem to be lots of brands - Mediterranean as well as Asian. I got them at a big Asian supermarket in Leeds.

Back again to add some more!

diggers crispy chicken strips are amazing - 10 mins in air fryer then stir through sweet and sour sauce. Easy quick dinner.

aunt Bessie’s ready made dumplings. I just chuck them in the slow cooker for the last 45 minutes.

Croissants

Green beans, edamame beans, corn on the cob

Oh and casserole mixes

Ice-cream, lollies.

I love this, game changer especially as I can cook the entire packet or just a portion in the microwave, €1.49

Especially since Trader Joe's isn't available in the UK. As usual chat GPT doesn't live in the real world.

Frozen sweetcorn kernels from M&S.
Taste completely different to the tinned version!
