Charlie Bigham's chicken satay curry.

Ooh I’ll have to try! I’m a late arrival to satay, I spent 35 years thinking I wouldn’t like it!

Pasta Evangelist is also alright for convenience meals, although it’s not worth full price - referral and discount codes all the way.

Don't know how to vote, as I've never tried that one, but Charlie Bighams definitely do the best pre-made lasagne.

thunderstruckk · 05/01/2023 18:30

You're obviously wrong, it's the Charlie Bigham Butter Chicken 🤤

Msgrieves · 05/01/2023 18:31

Meh, have had a Charlie bigham lasagne that was reduced and it was pretty shit.

BiggerBoat1 · 05/01/2023 18:35

The Charlie Bingham Moussaka is food of the Gods. I want to try the satay now though!

hauntedvagina · 05/01/2023 18:36

No. It's an M&S macaroni cheese.

purplewolfie · 05/01/2023 18:36

Leon's chicken satay box is the best train station food.

Thesearmsofmine · 05/01/2023 18:37

Nope, M&S The Best Macaroni Cheese wins. So rich and cheesy,

unsync · 05/01/2023 18:39

CB Chicken korma or Chilli con Carne in this house. 😋

OnlyFannys · 05/01/2023 18:40

Well as someone who is allergic to peanuts this is not the news I wanted to hear 😂

IntentionalError · 05/01/2023 18:41

I used to love M&S’s Gastropub moussaka. It really was delicious, and made you question if it was worth the hassle of making it yourself. Such a shame it was discontinued.

Luredbyapomegranate · 05/01/2023 18:42

CB do the best pre made cottage pie and fish pie. Although the ones for 2 are now nearly ten quid!

Sparklingbrook · 05/01/2023 18:45

Charlie Bigham’s Fish Pie is my favourite. But I don’t think I’ve had a bad meal of theirs.

pompei8309 · 05/01/2023 18:45

I don’t usually eat ready meals but I have tried pretty much all Bingham’s and they’re delicious

CleopatrasBeautifulNose · 05/01/2023 18:48

You can't beat a potato jacket done in the microwave (sacrilege to some I know 🤣) and served smothered with proper butter. Whole meal for 50p and so so tasty.

midsomermurderess · 05/01/2023 18:57

I like the fish pie too but find the lasagna a rather indigestible slab. I wish my supermarket did the satay curry, it sounds lovely.

hattie43 · 05/01/2023 19:00

Love Charlie bighams but haven't
tried chicken satay. I will now though

namechange5575 · 05/01/2023 19:06

Think the CB lasagna has rather gone downhill.

HamHand · 05/01/2023 19:08

His red Thai curry is my can’t be arsed meal of choice

HannahDefoesTrenchcoat · 05/01/2023 19:09

Tinned tomatoes soup and a cheese sandwich 😂

DustyMaiden · 05/01/2023 19:10

I’ve never heard of Charlie Bingham.

iklboo · 05/01/2023 19:12

I'm with haunted. That thing is gorgeous.

runningonberocca · 05/01/2023 19:14

Another vote for the M&S best ever macaroni cheese

Sparklingbrook · 05/01/2023 19:16

DustyMaiden · 05/01/2023 19:10

I’ve never heard of Charlie Bingham.

It's Charlie Bigham. Range of Ready Meals, sold in Waitrose and Tesco (and elsewhere presumably) they're quite expensive but worth it.

ihaveopinions · 05/01/2023 19:25

I see them in Waitrose on the odd occasion I pop in there but they're so expensive. They never seem to be in the reduced section...boo hoo!
