AIBU to think Sainsburys broccoli and tomato quiche is a let down

I'm normally not fussy and eat most things and hate food waste. Just bought a tomato and broccoli quiche from Sainsbury’s and it is awful. All in date and warmed as per instructions but it tastes rank! I ate it though. Just wondered if any MNetters had tried it and thought the same?

It doesn’t actually taste of anything - it’s quite bizzare.

For a good quiche you need a pint of double cream and about a dozen eggs, also half a pound of mature cheese. This how my French auntie prepared them Grin

A sad sainsbury version can never live up to this. I have learned.

So many things that should be absolutely delicious and indulgent are so sad when bought from Sainsbo & Co Sad

@Connie222 I know, right? Even after extra seasoning it just doesn't have any flavour?!

@TheHumansAreDefinitelyDead sounds indulgent (but delicious)! I think next time I will just have an omelette! Sans any broccoli

YANBU. They are proper nasty. The tomato carry on looks like a crime scene.

Well broccoli and tomato sounds a bit shit to start with. Quiche needs at least one big flavour in it. Cheese, smoked salmon, feta, bacon, something.

Just veg is boring.

ALL supermarket quiche is a bland let down. You have to make it yourself if you want it to be half decent. Even then it's less than inspiring.

Sainsburys did an amazing brie and cranberry quiche at Christmas. We stocked up and now there's just one left in the freezer Sad

I actually like that one! Oh well. I can't be the only one because other people buy them!

Eggs, broccoli and tomato. That's culinary hell. I do like the taste of cheese and onion quiche but just can't bring myself to eat it due to the eggs 🤢

All these quiche-hating posters.

Give quiche a chance.

Looks like everyone did run Bee! I love quiche but only home made

recklessruby · 20/02/2020 22:19

I ve had that. Never again. It s horrible and watery and the brocolli was nasty as was the tomato.
Couldn't finish it and it gave me massively uncomfortable indigestion later. Envy not envy

Homemade quiche is about a million times nicer. As is most homemade food compared to shop bought.

Just another annoying thing I have learned in my 45 years. Such as that in general, expensive things are better. This particularly annoys me.

Agree, homemade quiche is delicious. Cafe/restaurant quiche (that they’ve made onsite) also almost always really tasty.

Why supermarket quiche is universally rank, I have no idea. But it absolutely always is.
