Wet food suggestions

I've always fed my pair on what the rescue gave them, Royal Canin dry and Felix AGAIL wet. I'm happy with the dry, as are the cats, but I'm coming to the end of my "old stock" AGAIL and don't want to buy large amounts right now in case they react badly to the new style stuff.

In addition, over time they've eaten less and less of the wet, so now they are just licking the jelly off and leaving all the meat, which is a) wasteful and b) means I have lots of yukky cat food in the bin. They still do go straight to the wet when I put it down so they are enjoying it, just only the jelly noy bothering with the meat.

So I'm thinking of trying something new for them. I know they are the same with standard Felix also with Whiskas, and I don't mind having to pay a bit more as they would be wasting less (TBH the wet is only for pleasure, they have dry ad lib & tuck into that well). They both drink well too, so I'm not concerned about getting moisture into them but I still want them to enjoy the regular feeding times.

So - any suggestions? Don't suggest raw - I've tried them on just about every human food out there both cooked and raw, and they will have a little bit of ham or chicken as a treat but otherwise not interested.

Have you tried forking it? My kitten finds a big slab of food really unappetizing. So I fork into little pieces and soften the jelly with hot water.

Also sprinkle a bit of probioitic powder on top (the smell is amazing and good for their tummies as well) Clean plate every time

I'm looking to find something different from the AGAIL - heard too many stories about how the new recipe is affecting cats. They do dive on it, but they are only eating the jelly. As they are both very much grazers I've never had a clean plate with them in 5 years!
