I love cooking. so I love to try different thingsl

The beef in ale one was nice, but hardly any sauce left - and I cooked it as per the instructions. The beef fell apart and it was tasty, just couldn't mop it up with crusty bread at the end .

[SingleHandSue]

We tried the curry one and the beef and ale.

Both of them were really tasteless! I have no idea where I went wrong, if at all.

The curry smelt amazing and we were all really looking forward to it, however it was very runny and just tasted like chicken in a watered down tomato sauce.

The beef and ale one was also very bland.

The only thing I will say is DH took portions of both to work with him the next day and heated them up. He says they were both much better the next day.

It's not spicy at all really- my young dc were fine eating it.
Next time I'm going to add some mushrooms and green veg, either peas or beans probably, I'm not sure it was just a little bland

[Thesearmsofmine]

@anothernamereally can I ask what tweaks you might do to the chicken curry? I’m trying it this week! I was going to add some sweet potato and maybe some natural yogurt or coconut milk depending on how spicy it is.

[anothernamereally]

We had the pulled pork one yesterday and it was lovely- I wasn't as impressed with the curry one last week. I think it will be ok with a few tweaks though so will probably give it another try.

[Thegirlwithnousername]

Thank you. I am going to give it another go!
Hopefully I can get it perfect before giving feedback!

[iklboo]

You do need to trim all the fat off the pork shoulder first so there's less fat. We had it last week and it was lovely. Having the beef in ale one today with mustard & herb dumplings. The house smells gorgeous already.

[cwitchard]

I just put the pieces of pork shoulder in then the sauce on top and put it on high for about 4 hours then turned it down to low. It did look quite fatty at first, but just kept stirring it.

[Thegirlwithnousername]

@cwitchard
Did you cook it on 5 or 10 hours.
Yours looks so good completely different to mine and wondering if the timing made a difference.
We had no sauce just a fatty liquid underneath the pork and the pork had no real flavour.
Wondering what I did wrong!

We tried the beef in ale. It was amazing, little effort, lots of sauce.

[Roselilly36]

Got my coupons too, thank you. The beef in ale is scrumptious, we all really enjoyed it, lovely flavour, and consistency. Looking forward to trying the pulled pork & curry flavours too. Such a good idea from Homepride to invent a range slow cooking sauces. They will be in my shopping list in future.

[LizFlowers]

No thanks.

[Monty27]

Yes please.
Convince me they're not full of unnatural chemicals

[cwitchard]

We tried the Pulled Pork sauce yesterday and have to say, it was delicious!! So simple to prepare - just put the meat in the slow cooker, add the sauce from the packet and leave to work it’s magic! The house smelt amazing all day! I did have to add a little extra water during cooking because I didn’t want it to dry out. The meat was really juicy and very tasty with a sweet, BBQ flavour - delicious on burgers! Will definitely buy it again. Looking forward to trying the curry one next.

[FindHungrySamurai]

This is what they look like - apple for size comparison.

[iklboo]

@Unreasonabubble - they're not tins, they are pouches. Just letting you know so you can tell your shopper what to look for

[iklboo]

Asda has them in as well.

[Muchtoomuchtodo]

@JustineBMumsnet I’ve had the vouchers but no email to explain what you want to know and where we put our feedback.
Can you help me out?

[MrsFrTedCrilly]

I found them in large Tesco they were on a bottom shelf and took some searching for.

[windandrain]

Thank you for the vouchers but I haven't managed to find them in Tesco or Sainsbury's.

[Thesearmsofmine]

I managed to get some in a large Tesco. They weren’t in a obvious place, just on the bottom shelf and only a few of them.

[cwitchard]

Thank you for the vouchers! Finally managed to get the 2 packets. Can’t wait to try them! Definitely need comfort food with all this cold weather!

[Unreasonabubble]

@MNHQ I have had to self isolate so I have passed my vouchers to someone who is going to TRY and get me the tins. I am so sorry, I may not be able to complete this in the time given.
