Beans on buttered toast, surely ?

I had a CB fish pie a while ago - except there was no fish in it.
After sending the batch details etc. I got a grovelling apology, a full refund & a voucher for a free meal.

I used it of course, but have never trusted their products since.

I assumed by 'convenience meal' OP meant something bought from a shop in a box, not something quick you'd prepare yourself.

Roominmyhouse · 05/01/2023 19:33

CB tikka masala for me, I wish they sold the sauce separately as it’s so good!

LynneBenfield · 05/01/2023 19:36

I like the moussaka but haven’t rated the others I’ve tried.

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.

I loved it too

I thought I saw an advert last week from M&S that they are doing a moussaka for one

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

Toast! Toast is a feast of a meal if your bread and butter are decent, plus beans, cheese or an egg or two.

WedonttalkaboutMaureen · 05/01/2023 19:44

Another vote here for M&S macaroni cheese, I swear it must have something addictive in it as I get cravings for it! Soooo good.

Fluffycloudland77 · 05/01/2023 19:46

If I didn’t have a cows milk allergy I’d be all over them.

DoloresOnTheDottedLine · 05/01/2023 19:47

@thunderstruckk is correct. CB’s Butter Chicken all the way. Tesco subbed it with Tikka Marsala in the shop this week and I was bereft.

Boooooot · 05/01/2023 19:49

I’ve never had one! You can’t beat a £1 bisto lasagne slapped in between two pieces of buttered white bread.

blackpearwhitelilies · 05/01/2023 19:50

Soft boiled eggs and buttered toast. I have it about three times a week.

NotMyDayJob · 05/01/2023 19:56

Charlie Bingham fish pie (for one) is the absolute best. DH doesn't like fish pie, hence for one. Tesco substituted for own brand once and it was truly horrible

Notsympatheticenough · 05/01/2023 19:59

CB red Thai curry. And M&s CTM.

Or spaghetti carbonara home made. V easy.

Refreshmentsanyone · 05/01/2023 20:01

They aware £9.50. I couldn’t eat a ready meal at that price however nice.

tillytoodles1 · 05/01/2023 20:04

Fried eggs and beans on toast.

Pantoland · 05/01/2023 20:12

Toast and beans

Tinned tomatoes soup and a cheese sandwich 😂

I'll see that and raise you a cheese toasties 😁

SadButTheTruth · 05/01/2023 20:12

No, it’s CB’s Chicken Jalfezi or Tikka Masala! Sadly no peanuts allowed in this house 😢
