To think that there isn't a better convenience meal than

[Sausagenbacon]

Charlie Bigham's chicken satay curry.

Yes.. by far!

@Sausagenbacon Can you clarify 'convenience meal' ? Did you mean a bought one?

Costco chicken enchiladas for me

Yes!

Beans on toast with grated cheese. Or maybe Nigellas marmite spaghetti. Or just a cheese omelette.

Pre-booked jackets are a revelation.

I work at a waitrose. Anything reduced we get for a quarter of the price after 5pm. I stock up on the charlie bighams meals. Got a freezer full. You do have to defrost before cooking tho, so nor as convenient as it sounds!

Beans on wholemeal toast with grated cheddar on top.

I'm pretty sure that Bigham's meals are not recommended for freezing.

Nooooo! Charlie Bigham’s stuff is horrible (well, I’ve never had one I’ve liked anyway). They are always in the reduced section of my local Tesco and I keep on buying them, hoping they will taste nice one day. They never do…

For cheapness and tastiness, try an Aldi basic microwave macaroni cheese with an extra handful of grated vintage cheddar and loads of black pepper stirred in at the end. Definitely food of the gods!

Charlie Bigham's Macaroni Cheese with Pancetta is really nice. I'd love ro know where all these reduced ones are, they're generally snapped up around here.

M&S venison stew. Lush.

Fools. It's Saisbury's TTD Macaroni cheese.

Honestly, macaroni cheese is so easy to make; if you are grating up extra cheese and stirring it in anyway then you might as well make from scratch!

I agree with you OP and I don't even like curry much usually!

M&S four cheese ravioli for me, it’s the best

So many mentiopns of cheese in this thread I'm going to need some Gaviscon. 😁

Charlie Bigham lasagne has a ton of star anise in it. Bloody horrible.

A lasagnwich is food of the gods.

I had their lasagne a few years ago and I thought it was horrible. They’re very expensive, I haven’t bought another CB since.

They do some very nice puddings too.

Charlie B meatballs Al forno for me!

Just looked them up, almost a tenner for a ready meal!! Blimey. Rather have poached eggs on toast.

CB fish pie is fab. I’m obviously not in an area that appreciates a fish pie as they are always in the yellow sticker shelf.
not sure how ‘convenient’ they are, they take ages to cook.

CB fish pie and lasagne are meh. M & S gastropub fish pie and M & S best ever lasagne are so much better!
