New thread for sharing Gousto recipes

[pinkchampagne1]

I enjoyed the last Gousto thread but it seems to have disappeared so thought I would start a new one.
Anyone had a box this week?
I have had the Goan style basa and spinach curry which was really good. Also had the pork with bubble and squeak mash and the sesame hoisin chicken. All have been lovely so far. Just the Thai red curry to go now which I am looking forward to.

I agree that it’s much better than Hello Fresh - so much more choice, more exciting meal choices, less repetitive and I like that you can pause Gousto so you don’t have to be tied to a subscription.

We had the chicken curry filled sweet baked potatoes last night which were easy to make & tasty

I much prefer it to HF as well, the quality is much better and they cater more for special diets.

I am getting fed up with the substitution ingredients nearly every time though. I have a chicken cashew nut curry coming and the cashew nuts have been substituted with creamed coconut!! 🤔

🫣 how is that even a substitute

I made the Sri-Lankan style pork pittas with sambal and raita, they were OK but we were hungry again quickly 😂. The sambal was vile though. Does anyone else have a problem with the quality of chicken? Mine always stinks and ends up in the bin. They always refund me so I can go buy some, but it's not really the point as I tried Gousto to stop visiting the supermarket so often 😂.

Does the smell remain after a few minutes? Mine never does. I often buy chicken vacuum packed like that ( in bulk from muscle foods) and it smells like that when you initially open it.

I have a box coming tomorrow, spiced lentil stew, chorizo and lentil salad, chorizo minestrone and Korean corn with gochujang potatoes. Intentionally chose three 10 minute recipes!

Chicken from anywhere always smells when you first open it, doesn't it?

Bit of a mess on todays order!
Had an email they couldn’t send a courgette so would send two tomatoes instead. They’ve sent one.
I’ve got three dented tins, I’ve got a tin of sweetcorn instead of tinned tomatoes, baby leaf salad instead of spinach, and a missing recipe card!

I refuse to eat their chicken now. It’s slimy and smells weird. It doesn’t taste so bad on the day you cook it, but if you reheat any left overs it tastes horrible. Makes me feel I’ll thinking about it 😩

[MrsKippling]

Thanks I think I will avoid chicken from there now. I do leave it to air and its not just a bit whiffy, the smell makes me gag.

Does no one care that the chicken is battery farmed?

[pinkchampagne1]

We’re having the katsu chicken tonight

[Uptheduff2022]

Does anybody know where they source their curry powder from? I'm obsessed.

[pinkchampagne1]

I’m not sure. It’s a shame you can’t buy it as an extra

[arlequin]

Same with their chicken stock mix!

[pinkchampagne1]

I agree. I buy chicken stock to recreate the recipes but it is never quite as good

[pinkchampagne1]

We are still enjoying our Gousto meals. I have a box arriving tomorrow.
